What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly receive a government circular seeking skilled workers such as tack welders and plate hangers for war production. Molly's new lady mailman, Mrs. Uppington, and the neighbors' rivalry over a comic valentine add to the household's bustle. Fibber tries to recruit suitable workers while Mr. Wilcox, the Coast Guardsman LaTrivia, and Mr. Whimple drop by. The episode is a comedy from the Fibber McGee and Molly series, first broadcast on NBC Radio on February 16, 1943, with Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan in the cast.
The McGee home at 79 Wistful Vista, and the neighborhood around it.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
