...this pattern conform the CCC, the NYA resident centers, the Quaker Summer Camps, Work Camps for America, and sundry other similar experiments. It is in the type of enrollees that the principal difference occurs.

Here are the blast furnaces, iron foundries, rolling mills which turn out the indispensable metal of warfare-steel. Here is the crucible which forges the weapons of World...
