BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIAN:

“…Due to a change of broadcast dates, the

many followers of the new radio drama ‘Death Rides the Highways [sic]’

who do not want to miss any of the programs will be dialing their favorite

NBC Red Network station on Friday nights instead of Saturdays,

although the hour will remain the same… The first Friday program will

be broadcast tonight, February 28. In its two fold role, ‘Death Rides the

Highway’ not only provides dramatic radio entertainment for hundreds

of thousands of radio listeners but also is a mighty factor in the great

nation-wide safety campaign. The sponsors of the program, the Western

Auto Supply Company, hope that it will help to lessen the number of

automobile accidents on western highways…”]
