 spect and the esteem in which Rev. MT. Sargent was held in the city the con- gregation was impressive, for it was made up of representatives of all de-

 ful testimonials to the love of the peo-
 pie of the city for the dead pastor. All
 of the Congregational churches in

 : With only a week passed since the 7 armistice terms were signed, mill men | here already are giving serious con- l sideration to the problems that the ap- D proach of the end of the war produces
 for them. Practically every woolen cotton and silk concern in the city has been intensirely engaged on govern 2 ment work, deVotir1g a very heavy per n centase of their producing capacity tc win war-lines. The end of fighting
 means the end of production pressure r in this field of work and the fnanufac- f turers are already closely scanning n the situation that confronts theIn-the 0 problem of getting back to peace time q work. It has not been announced that = the government has cancelled any con-
 tracts, but it is known that curtail- :, ment on government contracts may be 7 looked for in the very near future, al = least in some lines. Just what the q changes will be or how soon they vii U come is the thing that interests the :, mill men. This in no sense indicates h fear of poor business, for these is ', said to be a yawning market for what z many call civilian goods. This big de. # mand will mean rush work for the . mills, but the changing ever process I must come, and that means worry anC s uncertainty for the time being. d Having all today for mak:ng 8 gran, ;e success of the United War Work cam q paign is welcomed by the workers il
