Work-relief administrator Harry Hopkins wrote, "Long after the workers of CWA are dead and gone and these hard times forgotten, their effort will be remembered by permanent useful works in every county of every state. People will... attend schools they built... do their public business in courthouses and state capitols which workers from CWA rescued from disrepair..."

‘"Any plodder can write a consecutive history of a city. But it takes more cooks to turn out a good civic stew. Many of the San Francisco staff of the Federal writers' Project have been gathering, for some time, material for a comprehensive guide to the Bay Area, presently to be issued. As they wormed through texts, letters, memoirs, documents, newspapers, scandals, and plain guff, they unearthed many unearthly items. These were tossed faithfully into the hat - and here they are." - from the foreword. Scharf/Schoyer 60.

From ‘Calendar of Mountain Sports’ Douglas Lynch (1913-2009) mural cycle. Paint on linoleum. WPA art at Timberline Lodge. 1938. ‘He CUT his designs into linoleum and then used oil paint in very thin layers, each layer locked in with a layer of shellac. It was a very time-consuming process, but I really love the result. Some of the paintings are now quite faded because the room was originally a snack bar, and grease would accumulate on the paintings, so people scrubbed them with harsh cleansers. Now the room is no longer a snack bar, so maybe the pictures won't fade any more.’ See www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/wpa_era_timberl... Photo by K. Kendall from Portland.

Today on the Hornet's Sting dev server I take a look at the Harry Hopkins, a new light tank coming to the British tech tree.

#warthunder #tank #harryhopkins #hornetssting #british

The Alecto (named after on of the three Furies) was a development of the A25 Light Tank Mk VIII Harry Hopkins. It used a lightweight version of the Mk. VIII chassis and was armed with a 95-millimetre (3.7 in) howitzer. A small number of Alecto Is were completed, some served briefly with the British Army in Germany, arriving in the immediate post-war period and they equipped the heavy companies of at least the Kings Dragoon Guards operating in the Middle East just after the end of the war. Several were converted to dozers for use by the Royal Engineers while another was tested as an armoured personnel carrier.
