In this feature you will meet three typical Scots folk who are doing their jobs in terms of the war. Mary Michie is one of thirty women gas-collectors in Glasgow who have been employed by the Glasgow Corporation to fill the jobs of men who have joined the forces. Known cheerfully in the districts she visits as the ' gas wumman ' or ' the girl with the wee brown bag she finds her job a diverting one. She was previously a shop assistant, and claims that her training there has given her accuracy now.
The other two contributors to the feature are Catherine Gordon , on the staff of the Glasgow Evening News, and Will Y. Darling , who. as well as being a draper, is author of ' Hades, the Ladies ! ', and other amusing books of short sketches. He is an old hand at broadcasting.
