Standard Products, for nearly two decades

to become the central figure of a million-dol-

Inconsistent rumors along Madison street

Gan Editorial)

When contrasted with World War II con-
dtions, when it was normal to handle any
new crisis in a haphazard manner, the sane
and sensible approach by the company as il
nears the year 1852 is conlmendable.
This practical and realistic approach t.
current conditions is certain to result in
stable employment and a sound economic
status for this area.
At the risk of being placed in the category
Of lillioys, we would however suggest that q
number of bumps must be sustained before
such stability can be achieved.
The transition period may be rough. There
will undoubtedly be employment cutbacks.
Temporary, to be sure, but nonetheless, Of a
cutting nature that will prompt shortsightel
persons to raise a howl Of anguish.
The situation is challenge. 1t is che that
should arouse d community spirit equal 70
