Benefits Of The WPA

according to pubic opinion, are
considered the NE w DEAL S
most potential agencies in allevist
ing suffering among the middle and
lower classes of our citizens. Some.
one had a vision, that vision was
placed before the proper head OF
the New Deal. After careful con.
sIderation this vision was placed
into action and the result has been
almost incredible. These House
keeping Aides have gone into
homes and washed the windows,
thereby permitting rays o. sunshine
which heretofore were obstruCted
to me into those homes. After
several visits by Housekeeping
Aides, rays of sunshine beamed not
Only through these homes. but
rays of Sunshine were transmitted
into souls which heretofore had
reasons to droop in darkness. The
reasons have been reno we'd by the
services of the WPA Housekeeping
Aides. and the darkness inevitably
disappeared. Mothers and fathers,
after having received pa, tial bene-
fits from the WPA Housekeeping
AIDES, view life from a diffeI ent
angle. and in many specific cases
have decided to start lite over.
This decision. on the pat of par
ents, has led the Chi dIen into a
new light. Homes that dark and
sad have been transformed into
homes of sunshine and happiness.
The WPA Housekeeping Aides

motto seems to be: "SERVICE
