"UPS AND "DOWNS"
IN SUNSHINE PICNIC
Denver, July 25—Tha "ups" asd
"downs" are meeting at Berkeley
park today at one of the moat
unique picnics ever attempted In
this country. Jim Goodheart, char
ity worker and head of the Sun*hlne
mission here, is promoter of the
plan. It differs from ordinary pic
nics for behind It there is a big, vital
idea—that of bringing together the
two main classes which constitute*. a
metropolitan population.
"You see," said Goodheart today,
"I want to get the Ups and Downs
together in my picnic. Moat of the
people who live In tho part ol the
city jvhere the Sunshine mlastons
is, are Downs. They have nothing
to uplift them and they do not try
•o get it. 'I caamsed the dta
<rict in what you might call the
slums—if there are ?ny 'Blums'
here— and found that there ara
8,000 children In tho district. There
are 30,000 people In it and prac
tically all ot them have no relig
ious preference or interest.
"I wanted these people to meat
'lie Ups, who have ideals and who
set more out of life, and I am Iget
ting my friends among the) Ups to
come out and meet the others. I
wanted to see what effect mor»
lortunate folks have on the Downs."
