Now as howling winds echo across the snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, the Quaker Oats Company, makers of Quaker Puff Week, and Quaker Puff Rice, the delicious cereal shot from guns. In cooperation with the Mutual Broadcasting System, present by special recording Sergeant Preston of the UConn.

It's Yukon King, swift as the strongest lead dog of the Northwest, breaking a trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest's founding police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. And tamed on your hands. Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, Back to the Danes of the Gold Rush, and the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog,

UConn King, as they meet the challenge of the UConn. Our adventure will begin in just a moment. Is your youngster a problem child in the classroom? Maybe it's because our schools themselves are such a problem.

Maybe your child is showing desk and textbook with another child who is also finding it hard to learn under such conditions. Nearly a million new students a year are entering schools that are sorely overcrowded and understaffed.

400,000 new teachers will be needed within the next 10 years. President Eisenhower has pointed the way by calling a special White House conference on education to take place in November. Meanwhile, states and communities are organizing their own conferences to discuss local school problems.

Carry the ball for your community. Write for free information on how to hold a community conference. Write better schools to West 45th Street, New York 36th New York. Remember, better schools build better communities. This message is brought to you as a public service.
