Transcript

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the Guardian of the Forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mumbling lions.

Yes, all this, an exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Today, we want to tell you about Moose McBain and Moose's two adopted sons, Kim and Perry. Moose is a trapper by trade.

He uses a unique trap, considered rather old-fashioned among trappers, but Moose wouldn't use anything else. It's called the Lariat Trap. An animal steps into the noose of the rope hidden on the ground, and when the trap is sprung, the animal is swung into the air dangling from the end of the rope.

Jim and Perry have grown up in the woods, love the animals of the forest with all their heart and soul. It's a great life for most and as two adopted boys, being outdoors nearly all the time and coming in only when it's time to sleep or eat.

There's the picture. Now, let's find out how Bill and his rangers fit into it. Listen to the fur things. Now, the fellows are at headquarters enjoying a little chin music. Say, fellas, I hear that the Schneider Boy is going licked real good in the last race last Saturday.

Well, I say they did stumpy by a mile. Maybe I'll teach them not to go around thinking they're the world's best iceboarders. They're plenty proud. Forget that. Nobody's unbeatable. Not to change the subject, but you fellas going to the ski meet next Saturday?

Well, I hope to. Yeah, sure do. I would miss that for anything in the world and jumping Joe Johnson's gonna defend his title He's gonna have a tough time trying to be leaping Lena Larson Leaping Lena Larson I never heard of her neither did I but I thought it was a pretty good name
