Great changes will take place almost suddenly in our domestic af fairs. A large number of war workers will be changed to peace reconstruction, and many of the boys will be sent home. Unless preparations are made for the turnover from war to peace, unemploy ment will be a serious problem. Congress should be in session now, and should stay in session to pass the necessary legislation and get ready for the changes, or there will be a great slackening in national em ployment. In spite of big wages, thousands of peo ple have saved little, and 30 to 60 days would find them on relief. In large communities the distress would be great. Every worker now should begin to save all he can for the day of waiting while the na tion changes from a war to a peace time basis. IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS The C. W.

The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which mer chant was not advertising, so that he can go to his store, spin a web across the door, and lead a life of undisturbed peace afterward”. When the Grapes of Wrath was written most of us could not believe the accounts related of the Okies and the Arkies in California.
