 the war is over.' But naturally I'm a little worried about this sudden layoff. I'm not working and my husband may lose his job. We have two children. You see, were not as well of as some, since we came from New York when the war start- ed and had to spend a lot of money establishing a home here. We want to stay in Waterbury and hope Waterbury factories won't forget the immigrant workers when they come to handing those peacetime jobs out again..

 "Complete reconversion will take a good six months. Of course. unem- ployment insurance will cover us a few weeks. After that I feel the government should extend some kind of relief measure. One thing that would greatly help Us during this reconversion period would be the lowering of prices by the govern ment. Unemployed people are go- ing to have tough time meeting current prices in food and cloth ing"

 "The most important thing is that the boys have jobs when they get back. That's my big worry this morning. And I think when they start rehiring they should give preference to single girls rather than married women with husbands.
 I think most single girls have put away enough money to hold them over a few months layon. Their savings and unemployment insur- ance ought to keep the wolf away from the door,"

 T haven't worked in month, but I'm not worrying. I guess I can get through a few months of un- employment if I got through the depression. All I can say is, it's go- ing to be great to see the boys come home.

 Beatrice Hotter, 42 Blakeslee cir cle, Benrus drill operator:
 I've been out of work since May 21. All I've got to say is, I'm glad the war is over, and I hope we won't be out of work too long. got a job in Naugatuck after I got laid off, but I had to get up at five and walk all the way to the Center to get a bus. I just couldn't keep 1t up. I filed a claim for comepsation and I'm waiting to hear."

 Anthony Gadue, 6 Frederick street, Waterbury Tool:
 I've been 8 machinist for 30 years and I think 1t will take at least six months to change machines and tools to start work on peace time Projects. But after that there will be plenty of work for everyone. Men with large families will prob abily have difficulty getting along but I think the government will ex- tend further aid to those without funds. Anyway. don't think people should worry"

 My only worry this morning ii getting the Japs signature on thal peace treaty. I don't trust those Japs. They might try some treach- cry yet. Look what they did te Pearl Harbori How do feel about this unemployment? Well, 1t might be e little difficult for some people But once reconversion gets started life will be better than we've ever known. From where I stand thk morning, things look bright" Mrs. Loretta Delaney
