GRAND RAPIDS
 PUBLIC WORKS
 MAKE HEADWAY

Grand Rapids, Mich.-Through It's welfare plan, recognized as a model In the country, Grand Rapids has utilized two years of depression to undertake huge public works project.
 Employing welfare labor at 40 cents an hour. the city already has completed three major municipal developments.
 Island Eliminated
 First, the welfare workers, paid in script to exchange at community stores for food, eliminated small island in Grand River, which had caused periodic ice jams and floods.
 While one group of workers dredged the river channel, sec ond group cleared the river bank for site for d new convention hall. A third group laid 10 miles of trunk line mains for the water department.
 The groups were paid on sepa- rate days of the week to eliminate congestion at the community stores. Applicants for jobs were in- vestigated and given just enough work to provide the necessities of life for themselves and their fam- flies.
 City Managers Invention City Manager George W. Welsh, author of the Grand Rapids plan estimates there are now G.000 families on the welfare rolls. The Appropriation for welfare this year Is $1,290,000, enough to complete other community projects con- templated.
 The city manager explains that his welfare department works on the promise that jobless men want work, not charity. Therefore" he says, we have created work and

CHAMPAGNE MEN
 WANT NEW MODE

Paris. (UP)-The champagne makers of France, faced with starvation by the loss of all their former markets except France and Belgium, have conceived a solution of depression by launching cam paign to encourage men to dress for dinner, take their wives to restaurants, and take in four good shows week.
 If Paris would heed their sug- gestion, the champagne growers say, all lines of business would prosper. It is their contention that when men put on their dinner jackets and take their wives to the restaurants they are almost ob- liged to buy champagne. If they dine in business clothes. they can take beer or wines with their meals.
 The Russian and United States markets were lost to the cham pagne makers late in the war. South America drinks one-tenth as much of the bubbling wine as be- fore. England is learning to drink champagne again, but seems to have lost it's thirst. Gerniany on.u consumed vast quantities in nightly revels. but has substituted t5e na- tional sparkling wines of the Fatherland now.
 Paris still does it's share to keep the. Rheims and Epernay caves from becoming glutted, but France has something like 30O.O00,0 900 quarts of champagne stored away for better days. That represents. at actual wholesale and production values, a sleeping investment of | $450, 100000.
 Since April, the Rheims and Epernay makers have been bot ting the 1930-1931 crops, a process which will last for another month and result in 10,000,000 quarts more being added to the already well-hlled caves.

 Dr Mayo, associated with the Mayo Brothers Clinic at Roches- ter, Minn, asserted that the chang Ing periods have heightened life and have brought more people to realize the opportunities of life.
 "On every side there Is progress We can only absorb so much hap piness and should remember that there Is no fun like work. What a terrible derelict one is to go through life without having any thing to do with our fellow men and our neighbors."
