In the years of great fear and depression, a lot of American citizens looked desperately to the federal government for assistance. Of all the programs designed by President Roosevelt when he took office in 1932, few were more criticized or had more lasting impact than the Work Projects Administration, better known as the WPA. The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943, was to design and administer public works projects to help relieve unemployment. The majority of these projects involved historic or artistic attempts. The WPA39。s Writers Project, for example, was responsible not only for such practical works as state guidebooks but also for the collection of historically valuable oral histories. Over 2,900 of these records were collected in 24 states. They provide an irreplaceable firsthand account of people39。s diets, customs, celebrations, and political and religious beliefs at the time. The artworks created through the Federal Arts Project are one of the WPA39。s most lasting achievements. Out of work painters, both famous and unknown, created paintings that beautified schools, libraries, and government buildings, WPA photographers traveled across the country recording the hardships of life on small rural farms. When the United States entered World War Ⅱ in 1941, WPA artists were enlisted to produce posters supporting the war effort. Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.（1）When did the Work Projects Administration begin to work?

A car is often the only way to reach the spectacular destinations which Canada is famous for. Most major car rental panies have offices at airports, towns and cities across the country. What do you need in order to rent a car in Canada? ● Valid Driver39。s license and International Driver39。s Permit if your license is not in English or French. ● When picking up your car, you may have to show your passport and a return airline ticket. ● Credit Card for the deposit—Renting a car in Canada without a credit card is impossible. FlyDrive Packages from Home You may get the best deal on car rental if you book a flydrive package from home or if you book a long time in advance.
