The band is a splendid builder of
democratic group spirit. Here is a
common interest which brings all
classes together on an equal basis.
Whether it is a school band or or

There is no better advertising for
a community than a well established,

said, "is direct relief for employable
who are unable to get jobs in pri
vate industry or with WPA."
Three hundred Michigan cities and
towns joined the governor's appeal
to Washington for relief. Officials
explained that the WPA was not
flexible enough to adjust itself to the
rapidly mounting relief requirements

give work to all employable out of
