Delayed Christmas Present

The signal oil program? The Whistler. That whistle is your signal for the signal oil program? The Whistler. I'm the Whistler, and I know many things before I walk by night. I know many strange tales Hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadow. Yes. I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.

Yes friends, it's now time for the Signal Oil program, the Whistler, rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. And here's an important announcement for Whistler fans in California only.

Beginning next Sunday, January 2nd, due to California's going off daylight saving time, the Whistler will be heard in California only one hour earlier from 8.30 until 9. After the change in time, in California only, the Whistler will be heard at a new time, from eight thirty till nine.

In other states, the Whistler will be heard at the same time as always. And now the Whistler's strange story. Delayed Christmas present. Christmas was really over, or it was one o'clock in the morning at Pete's Cantina, a tough little night spot on the outskirts of Panama City.

What the melody lingered on. You could hear the chimes of the big church, a block away playing a desk day for David. There was practically no business. Four hostesses, all Americans, were sitting grirly at the far end of the ballroom near the bar.

One of them, Mary Winslow, billed as Candy Porter, just sat gazing grirly into space, thinking bitterly of a past from which for a while her had seemed no escape. But for five months now she'd been relatively safe.
