SAYS:

Vol. 4—No. 7

Dear Fellows— Reconversion was the big topic around here this week. . . . The home town lost no time in doffing its war togs for ‘“civvies.” Meanwhile home-folks got a taste of that temporary “employment lag” inevitable during the shift from war to peacetime production. About ‘15,000 were laid off, but no one became unduly excited. Most folks were confident they'd pick up jobs again soon as the big factories have retooled. . . Displaced war workers didn't appear worried and neither did industrialists who had been blueprinting post-war plans for months. . In fact the city’s attitude was quite cheerful and des finitely not gloomy. Heavy buying crowds swarmed the stores. While many were suspended as plants reconverted, the U, S. Employment service here was offering 7000 jobs in trades that had been wailing for help during’ the war and still need it. Many home-town concerns, squeezed .out of the picture because of in= ability to_manufacture war items, are starting up. Another encouraging feature was supplied by Allison's, the home-town's largest war plant, where 80 per cent of the employees have ‘been retained on a 40-hour-week basis In addition to peacetime bearing contracts, they're still making jet plane engines for the army.
