Transcript

Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, again, all yerking! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Gold, gold is covered in the Yukon, back to the things of the Gold Rush, and the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon in their relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

The Quaker Oats Company, makers of Quaker Pop Week and Quaker Pop Drive, the delicious cereal shot from guns and the mutual broadcasting system, presented by cycle recording Sergeant Preston of the UConn.

A lighted match thrown into a dress of dry leaves. Or any one of many other thoughtless acts that can cause a fire. When you were out in the woods, here are four simple rules

of fire prevention to follow. Crush out cigarette cigar and pipe ashes. Break matches in two after using. Drown all campfires. Then stir up and drown again.
