Personal notice, dangerous my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you've got a job for me, George Valentine. Right full details. Standard Oil Company of California invites you to let George do it.

Before we begin tonight's adventure, here's a performance report on heavy duty RPM motor oil. As you know, scientists tested hundreds of motor oils in laboratories and in crankcases before discovering heavy duty RPM. Only after these scientists were sure did they claim heavy duty RPM doubles engine life, the time between major overhauls due to lubrication.

And our additional proof is being furnished by users themselves. One taxi cab company, for example, operating in the tough grind all cabs go through found that heavy duty RPM actually reduced engine wear 71 percent more than doubling engine life.

So for top performance from your car, get heavy duty RPM motor oil at any independent chevron gas station or standard station, where they say, and mean, we take better care of your car. And now, tonight's story, the deadly pines, another adventure of George Valentine.

Jim is the Valentine. I'm sure you've heard people talk romantically about towering pines, majestic pines, pines that fling their branches like banners against the sky. Well, I come from a lumbering family. I love trees.

I love them. And now I fear them with all my heart. And I'm not the only one. Everybody in this little town of high timbers have read, because in the last few weeks, no less than four forest fires have been deliberately set by someone in our midst.

So far, we've been able to put them out. But there's always been next time that the pines all around us deadly pines can become a flaming coffin. I need help, Mr. Valentine. And right away, sincerely, Dave Herron. Oh, no thanks, no more coffee, Mr. Herron.
