 Abram Krasnoff, 23 Amaryllis av- enue, U. S. Time Corp, calibrator: aAil can say is-it's damn good khing the war is over. People will adjust themselves to this layoff. Un- employment insurance will greatly help to tide, them over this spell. As far as I can see, the only ones who may experience some difficulty are tho men with large families and sfl1ose, who through difficulties or snismanagement were not able to nut away . few dollars. personally feel that once we get through this reconversion period we are going to enjoy prosperity the remainder ot our life. Government controls will play an important part in establish ueut economic stabilization.
 xt's war which creates depressions, and feel confident the atomic bomb has ended war for all time."
 Gae Adams
 Gae Adams, 148 Grand street, U. 6. Time Corporation inspector: If we have to take our choice III swap war for temporary lay- off any day. Of course, some people are disturbed because this work stoppage was so sudden. But they must remember it's only temporary. < If we got through six years of de- pressicn I guess we can get through six months while the factories are reconverting."
 Mike Grigarowsky Mike Grigarowsky. 289 Cooke street. Waterbury Tool saw opera tor:
 T feel happy the war is over. Bett<r to be jobless for a while than have men dying and suffering everywhere. I think people should just take 1t easy for Q while and not worry. They do everything so last today think the factories will ntart up everywhere within three . months. Then we're going to have great times ahead-for years ana years"

 Alie May Howell, Long Hill hous- ang proiect, Scovill operator:
 sWell, though I just got laid oif, I'm happier than I was when tne war was going on. My only hope IS f]aat the colored people, like myself, wilr get break wheN 1t comes to nzxinR people again. The colored s0neule' did their duty in every way arinR the war years. Most of them got all the tough and dirty Jons m the factory and our colored noys 1o1lxht and died for their country iu4s like the white people. So hope ueI be remembered when jobs are again available"
