The NBC feature "Words at War" heard over the Dominion network and CKRC, Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. (C.D.T.) will this week be the story of Guy Gilpatrick's Mr. Glencannon Ignores the War. The radio adaptation by Martin Sterne is the wonderful and highly improbable adventures of Colin Glencannon. The sea-going gentleman with the walrus moustache, the Scottish accent, and the canny smile, gets into a peck of trouble in Pandalang harbor, but teh Japs have their share of it too, as Glencannon merrily carries out his plan of ignoring the war.
