New Development
To Follow War
People of the coast states should
put themselves in a receptive mood
,to welcome many newcomers fol
lowing the war as many of the
workers now employed in western
war industries fully intend to re
main in the west; This opinion was
expressed by Rev. John J. O'Keefe
to the forum luncheon at the Lucas
place Monday. The speaker has
traveled extensively over the Un
ion, much of it in the past two or
three years, and gave some inter
esting sidelights on an America
at work to win the war. He be
lieves the favorable living condi

with future developments in the

people this way in the next few
years.

drawn for next .Monday's chairmanship.
