Now as howling winds echo across the snow-covered beaches of the Wild Northwest, the Quaker Oats Company, makers of Quaker Puff Week, and Quaker Puff Rice, the delicious cereal shot from gun. In cooperation with the Mutual Broadcasting System, present by special recording Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, It's Yukon King, swiftness and strong asleep dog of the North West, Taking a trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West, out at police, In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers, And King on your hands, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon,
A stampede to the Climbite in the wild race for riches, Back to the days of the Gold Rush, and the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.
Our adventure will begin in just a moment. With summer here, pleasure driving time has arrived. There are more daylight hours, nice weather, and the fine outlook of the summer countryside. If you were on the highways or the road anywhere these summer days, be especially careful.
There will be the inevitable traffic tie-ups and delays, the reckless drivers, the slow drivers, and the innumerable other incidents that can make warm weather driving so unpleasant and hazardous. Don't let your good spirits bubble over into unsafe speeds.
When you're driving at high speeds, you can't stop as fast, can't control steering as well, and your eyes can't detect as clearly fast-moving hazards that seem to whiz past your car. So drive slower. You may arrive at your destination a little later, but your chances of getting there are better. When you're driving in the country, take it easy and enjoy your ride.
