Incident at Arroyo Grande

And now stay tuned for the program that is rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil program, the Whistler. Signal, the famous Go Father gasoline invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story by the Whistler.

For extra driving pleasure, the signal to look for is the yellow and black circle sign that identifies signal service stations from Canada to Mexico. And for Sunday evening listening pleasure, the signal to listen for is this whistle that identifies the signal oil program.

So, Whistler. I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.

Before introducing tonight's story, here's an important time change announcement. Beginning next Sunday, the Whistler will be heard at a new time, 730 to 8. Remember, beginning next Sunday, October 2nd, tune in the Whistler each Sunday at 730.

And now the Whistler Strange Story, incident at a Royal Grande. The conversations were varied at the Hilltop Cafe in Highway 101. That was because of the way customers would come and go, like Eddie Martin, owner and operator of the Martin Truck Line.

He stopped in regularly, enjoyed his coffee, a chat with Hazel, the hilltop's genial proprietors. He was a hard worker at ease, and had come quite away in the difficult and sometimes risky business of hauling freight by trucks between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Hazel knew him well and liked him. Their conversations usually ran along the same lines with a constant background of Jukebox music. Oh, the coffee spine, Hazel. That's what I like about you. So dependable. Like you, Eddie.
