Easy Come and
Easy Go
BY NJ l. LarkiA

think deep down in my heart that
the originator of the above statement
Easy Come and Easy Go" said more
than he thought. This statement is
SO true to life and especially SO dur
ing this global war.
Anything that is easily obtained is
not valued so dearly by us, but that
that is hard to obtain we guard it
with much care.
The individual who inherits large
sum of money is not as conservative
as the individual who works hard for
years and years and saves his earn
ings. When this person spends dol
lar he wants to know where it is
going. but not so with the person who
knows not from whence his cometh
EASY COME AND EASY GO"
| believe that an individual should
make his surroundings as comfort
able as possible. He should eat the
proper kind Of food and wear decent
clothed, and then save something for
the rainy day."
I know quite few young ladies
who are receiving allotments from the
Government and as fast as they can
get their checks cashed they spend it
unvisely Easy Come and Easy Co"
/ was talking with young lady few
days ago and She was telling me what
all she had bought, however, she did
rot say what she was saving and she
couldn't have been saving much the
way she was spending. You can see
more fur coats since the war than
you have seen in a long, long time
One lady told me she had three fur
coats. was just wondering what in
the world did she want with three fur
coats. That means if they are prop

ReconVeFSion Is SheIved

Washington, Dec. 2-(UP)-Limit- ed industrial reconversion appeared today to have been virtually shelved until the defeat of Germany in a climax to a long behind -the-scenes battle between military and produc- ton officials.
 Former War Production Boar q Chairman Donald M. NelSon'S pro- gram for limited civilian output was for all practical purposes temporar- fly scrapped last night to satisfy military officials who maintained il wss interfering with manufacture ot munition sfor Gen. Dwigh tD .Eisen- hower's current offensive.
 The so-called "Spot" authoriza tionship, whereby regional govern ment officials were to be allowed tC give specific firms In their areas permission to convert to peacetime production, became a casualty in a carefully worded statement which was described merely as "a reState- ment of the original policy"
 It suspended for 90 days all new authorizations for civilian produc- tion under the "Spot" plan in the 68 labor shortage areas classified in group by the War Manpower Con- mission and in 45 other regions, af fecting a total O. about 126 cities Exceptions can be made in unusual cases.
 The drastic curtailment of non- military production was announced jointly by WIPE, WING, the Army and the Navy.

Strikers Go
 BockToWork

Detroit, Dec. D. -Strikina employees of the Chrysler Corpora tion'S Dodge main plant voted an immediate return to work today in what army authorities hoped was the beginning of a back-to-work movement that would extend to two other plants where production of B-29 Superfo4tresses parts has been halted by walkouts.
 The vote was taken by a show of hands at meeting of Local 3, Unit ed Automobile Workers Union (CIO) and Mike Novak, local pres ident, instructed day shift workers to report at once to the plant.
 We will handle our grievances, including that of seniority clause observance, through regular chan nels," Novak said. Even if the company won't put us to work iEn- mediately, we'll report for work now"
 The back-to-work vote came after army authorities told the Dodge To- cal that its members would be held accountable in the event that 31.- 900 employees of the Dodge Chicago plant, which assembles motors for the B-29 bombers, were forced from their jobs by lack of parts produced here. The JAW International had threatened to take drastic actiony against the local if the strike con- tinued.

Too Many Quit Work

Boston, Dec. 2.-(UP)-Regional War Manpower Director Arthur c. Gernes warned today that the war effort will be hurt if workers con- tinue to leave their jobs in New England factories.
 He revealed that New England industries lost more than 149,00O workers during the year ended in September. Approximately 114,00O of these workers were in munitions plants.
 GerneS said that Selective Service was responsible for many of the personnel losses, but that too many workers quit theil jobs on the penn ise that the war was about over.
 Reports by manufacturing estab- lishments in New England sohwed that as of September about 1,298,- 900 me hand women were employed in industry as compared with l. 447,700 in the corresponding l943 period.

Exclusive Priority
 For War Industries
WING to Assist in Providing Labor for Firms in Manu-
 featuring Small Arms, Ammunition

Exclusive priority rating may be given to Waterbury firms which are assigned additional orders for small arms and munitions manufacturing it was reported today as local con- cernS continued to work out their future production schedules and draw up reports on manpower needs.
 Area WING Director Mary M. Dewey stated the national WING of- flee has devised an exclusive prior ity" plan to be used in getting help for the nations most critical war needs, and stated plans may be made to use that means of getting extra workers for the munitions plants here, if necessary.
 Orders for employees submitted so far by the American Brass Company the Chase Brass and Copper Com pany, and the Scovill Manufactur- ing Company, disclose a need for 347 workers, but the figure is ex- pected to rise for those plants later It also has been disclosed other plants of the area may receive gov- ernment assignments, and the total need of extra workers for the muni- tions assignments may be much higher.
 Under the exclusive riority' plan, the USES would be instructed to re- fer workers during specified times
