PARIS MAY DAY
 TO BE ARTISTIC.
Exposition of Arts and Crafts to Get Underway
 May First

Paris (UP)-- With the opening of the Paris exposition of Arts and Crafts scheduled for May l, plans for a massive celebration of Labor Day, now 8. serr.-official holiday, promise an imposing spectacle.
 Proof that the stage French- man" as depicted in America is a cericature and a fake, will be one of the keynotes of the "Pagaent- Procession of France at Work which forms the central theme of Paris May 1 celebration this year IL will be the first and outstanding 'L. Paris fetes which are being pl' med for the exposition period. The aim o; the organizers of the procession is to show the manifold aspects of French working life, its ere tiveness, It's power and its joy.
 All Classes to Participate
 All classes of workers, gathered fem all parts of France, will form q section of the massive parade, from aviation to agriculture, from metallurgy to winegrowing, from mining to administration. More thln 10000 workers, from every province and region of France will marc.l in the procession, each de- picting in a striking manner the work and the products of their re- zion.
 -aul Colin, well-known artist an'l decorator, will be the marshal cf. the parade. His conception of a procession is entirely new to France. Not only will 1t be sym chronized in its color scheme, but 1t will embody movement and counter movement as the serpen- tine procession winds along the ParL.an boulevards. And each "cl3ment," to use Collins phrase, will be accompanied by sound ef- fleets. The "element" of steel and i.'Iu will emit sounds which will be a symphoney of drills boring, g mt hammers laundering, metal saws singing, cylinders grinding and wheels roaring. Perhaps Colin took some of his inspiration from the Industrial Symphony" of
 
 George Antheil written about 10 years ago. Tn any case he was re- assuring, and said that the sound effects would be imposing and not just noise.
 The procession will be two miles long and there will be 10 "ele- ments" or sections in it. That rep- resenting agriculture will be represented by hundreds of march, CTS each carrying long rod with an airplane model at the top. Syn- chronized movements of these planes will give an added effect of speed and airplano movement.
 Throughout the procession. it is the "Frenchman at Work and as a Worker" who will recieve full scope, and attention. He is the Frenchman as far removed from the stage Frenchman as Uncle Sam is from the caricatures in Anne ica and in London music- hu..ls.

 To Start WPA Job
 Announcement was made today by Warden John J. Sheridan that work of installing a storm sewer at sherman and Beecher streets here will start as a WPA project next Tuesday. The idea of the work is to eliminate sewer seepage from the storm sewer which enters into Hop Brook. The streets are in the area known as the "Whittemore De- velopment."
 The warden's statement follows:
 The Warden stated: A ". P. A. project will be started the 23rd of this month installing a 30 inch storm sewer in Sherman and Beecher streets. Most of the con- crete pipe will be supplied by the w. P. A. for this project which was approved by Federal Engineers about a year ago. Because sanitary and storm sewers in this section were originally laid too close to one another, seepage from the sanitary sewer is getting into the storm sewer.
 The purpose of this project is to eliminate the sewer seepage from the storm sewer which enters into Hop Brook. The w. F. A. office Tn New Haven notified the Warden that the concrete pipe will be de. livered to this job next week and the twenty laborers will be trans ferred from the Coen street storm sewer gang.
 The Coen street 20 inch tile storm sewer will be finished in April by another crew of 20 men which will be then transferred to a w. F. A project, extending Coen street to a short distance beyond the German Lutheran church property. \ This latter project was proposed to w. P. A., about 18 months ago, to provide a highway for the rear of those properties now fronted by the new High street wall.
