The war has been one of superlatives — the longest war the world has ever known, more casualties, more deaths, more destruc tion than the mind of man can en compass, to say nothing of the cost. We will be paying — our generation will only begin to pay. Tlie Master Accountant will have a hard time keeping track of the final cost of the Great War. We were thankful and gay and gid^^^ two wonderful days. Work- erij^B^ keepers, and tired business pc®^ deserved it. It was a time for simple rejoicing. the serious questions of Peace here and they must be handled, clear-headedly as were the of war. And they can be if ha’ e patience — patience with government and ii'Justry in the switch over from tanks to cars and, in our case, from parachutes to panties, so to speak. We read of large unemployment figures in war centers and ;ire apt to get panicky. But to offset 'his, many industries are asking for more help. Little businesses that closed during the war — filling stations, repair shops, laundries and grocery ^ stores — are painting up. New opportunities for services and enterprises are here to be developed. The pent-up need for staple goods, to say nothing of novel ties, in this country and abroad is tremendous. Rut as it took time to gear for war, it takes time to fool our thinking and our machines for peace. I'^ortunately for Burlington Mills’ employees, con\ersion will be a rela tively simple matter. In the midst of uncertainty the textile industry stands well. It is comparatively stable and with Builington it offers new oppor tunities and larger employment needs. The same machines that wove for war can wea\'e house dresses and lingerie and household fabrics. We have a big chance in this coun try — the possibilities of full employ ment, a higher standard of living through producing more of the goods that people are clamoring for, and a more secure future. Let’s not gum the works with idle talk about unemploy ment, lay-offs, wage cuts, run-wild in flation and a lot of other bugaboos to run panic through the country. The unbeatable team of American labor and industrial know-how can lick con version problems. Just look what it | did to the Japs. HILLCREST Mr. and Mrs. B. D.
