It is understood that the All-India team will consist of Rao Rajah Hanut Singh and Raj Kumar Prithi Singh and two officers from the British forces in India, and that the World team will include representatives from various parts of the Empire.

Described by craftsmen and introduced by F. H. Grisewood
(From Birmingham)
In this programme, which Midland is contributing as the first of a new series in the National programme, a foreman enameller from a hard toy factory in the Black Country will give an impression of his work in a trade which he has followed for twenty-one years. Then a young woman who designs dresses for a soft toy factory will speak for the other side of the industry. A journeyman cooper from Burton-on-Trent, who has been in the trade since boyhood will describe the making of barrels, and the ancient custom of initiating a young cooper who has completed his apprenticeship. A large barrel is built round the young man who has finished his time, and he is then rolled in the barrel for a short distance.
