or The ' March ' of Time
A seasonable miscellany in song and sketch of spring flowers, spring onions, spring tides, spring boards, spring carts, spring fever, and spring mattresses
Devised and produced by Howard M. Lockhart
As the title of the programme suggests, this is a topical revue, and will include a particularly amusing topical song called ' The Song of Springs ' and a sketch that will show how spring comes to a dweller in a city housing scheme. Since it is well known whither a young man's fancy lightly turns at this time of year, the theme of romance will not be lacking.

Alexander Keith
Alexander Keith , who took over ' The Week in Scotland' from George Blake , is familiar to Scottish listeners as a popular broadcaster on the subject of gardening. He was formerly assistant editor of the Aberdeen Press and Journal, has a comprehensive knowledge of many cultural and industrial activities in the North-East, and an excellent working knowledge of affairs in Scotland generally.
Several years ago he made a notable contribution to Scottish music by selecting and editing from the vast collection of ballads and tunes collected by the late Gavin Greig. He is also well known as an essayist and book reviewer.
Since its inception the series ' The
Week in Scotland ' has been carried on as, a rule by working journalists. By the nature of their work they are in intimate touch with affairs in general, and so are in an unusually strong position to remind or inform listeners who have been reading the newspapers day by day of all the important happenings during the week. By passing the series round to journalists in various parts of the country perspective in news is maintained.
' The Week in Scotland ', however, is of particular interest to people living in the distant islands, the folk who have not the same opportunities as people on the mainland of keeping in close touch with affairs.
