...Convair Division. Convair's dartlike F-102 interceptor is the only fighter which everyone in the business agrees will not be cut back: production of the F-102 and its faster, more advanced version, called the F-106, will probably total 350.

Neighbors around were faced with a serious crisis last summer when the village's major employer, a contractor who built summer homes and did repairs for city people both up and down the lake, decided to retire. He had employed seven or eight men, each with large families and homes to support. Some have found work by dividing up the business which the contractor once co-ordinated, and some have gone to Magog, ten miles to the north, to seek jobs at the textile mill there. One or two are uncertain of the future, and there has been some talk...
