Let it not be one of recklessness. Don’t celebrate the coming of peace by deciding that all habits of thrift are now unneces- sary, and by spending your “wad” on some new frippery-or fad. BE CAREFUL. Things are coming out all right—but be careful. That doesn’t mean “be panic-stricken.” No army of soldiers is coming back im- mediately to take your job away. There wort be any sudden mobs of unemployed. There is plenty of work for all. But, nevertheless, be careful. We can’t predict just now what the next step will be. We hope it will be for the good—but let things adjust themselves before you decide rashly what should be your course. KEEP YOUR HEAD!
