towns of Vermont. The men are begin
ming to come back in large numbers and
most of them, after short soiourn at
the rehabilitation camps, are starting
post haste for their home towns. A con-
siderable part of them will go into their
former positions; but, on the other hand,
there will be many who will find them
selves without employment or business
opening. Why not form local organ
ization which can act as clearing house
for the labor needs of the community
Such plan could be worked out to meet
the needs of the individual community
and would become powerful agency in
bringing about prompt REIMBURSEMENT Of
industrial conditions.

only seven houses were constructed. In
Barre not single permit for building a
house was granted by the building in,

and minor construction like garages, hen.
houses, etc. No great impetus to build

wages in the munitions centers and have
not yet returned or been replaced. New
ertheless the population is gradually get

the year have reached it's former status
There Is no reason to feel depressed ovel
the lack Of house construction, becaus,
conditions in Barre have been no worst
than in all cities except where great wal
contracts were secured.

will have a permanently higher level
of prices. The dollar of our daddies
