Do you know the importance of the Public Works Administration? The PWA will build things and help with many things. It is created to primarily get the industries to go back to what it was like before the Great Depression. It will create more jobs, get people to feel more confident with the economy, and generally improve the publics’ welfare. This is for the good of America because these things will bring a change by allowing the economy to return to normal. Well when I say normal I mean when people are confident in the economy and when the unemployment is less then ten percent. Also when the demand increases to where companies can not keep products on the shelves. This act will allow $3.3 billion dollars to be spent on building public things like airports, hospitals, and school buildings. This would allow us to improve the knowledge we could teach our kids. Also it increases the number of sick and injured people we can treat and take care of. The PWA will create jobs through building projects and in turn will help the economy. Fifteen percent of the budget will go to building roads and bridges to help with transportation. Some would say that is our biggest priority because it will decrease shipping costs and make the shipping time faster. Other project that this administration is in charge of is, building dams to create hydroelectric power. This will create jobs in constructing the dams. The power from the dams will help create cleaner and cheaper energy. A few of the dams and power plants that are being planned is the Navigation Dam and the Bonneville Power Plant. There will be many other dams on the Colombian River. This organization will be under the authority of the NIRA.

Cody Schell 2 songs **“Over There” **  A song that was recorded in 1917, was “Over There”. This song was recorded for the World War I, but was almost forgotten before World War II. Then as we got closer to entering World War II it became popular again. “Over There” was written by George M. Cohan. This was performed by multiple artists. Some of the lyrics show how enthusiastic and patriotic some Americans felt.  The United States entered the war after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. We were kind of rushed into this war. As the men grabbed their guns the women went to work in the factories to fill the positions that were now left empty. With the war came the end of the Great Depression. The United States banned neutral countries from giving equipment to help. The soldiers were patriotic and fought to defend loved ones. The war was harsh for families and soldiers alike. The families worried that the soldiers might be killed. The soldiers did not know exactly what was going on back home. The men were inexperienced but they did not give up.  The soldiers thought that the battles were hellish. In these battles all decency and humanity meant nothing. During war soldiers wanted normalcy, but on the return home the soldiers got post-traumatic stress. Also, the soldiers were returning to kids they left behind. The kids did not recognize their fathers after the war.  When going to war the soldiers carried an entrenching tool or a spade, water, food and ammunition. To start they had blankets, but when they got wet the soldiers tossed them because, they did not need the extra weight. They carried more ammunition because that was more important in battles. Also, they carried wash kits, so they could look human. They carried grenades and gas masks too. The soldiers wore boots that were metal studded.

Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Take it on the run, On the run, on the run. Hear them calling, you and me, Every son of liberty. Hurry right away, No delay, go today, Make your daddy glad To have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line. (chorus sung twice)
 * Over There**

Johnnie, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun, Johnnie show the Hun Who's a son of a gun. Hoist the flag and let her fly, Yankee Doodle do or die. Pack your little kit, Show your grit, do your bit. Yankee to the ranks, From the towns and the tanks. Make your mother proud of you, And the old Red, White and Blue. (chorus sung twice)

Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there - That the Yanks are coming, The Yanks are coming, The drums rum-tumming Ev'rywhere. So prepare, say a pray'r, Send the word, send the word to beware. We'll be over, we're coming over, And we won't come back till it's over Over there. **“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” **  A song that was popular during World War II was “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. This song is about a boy that played the trumpet and was called for the draft. The boy is no one in particular. This song was written by Don Rayne and Hughie Prince. This song was recorded on January 2, 1941, by the Andrews Sisters.  The draft started November 1940, and ended October 1946. In that time period 10,110,109 men were drafted, but about 30 percent of the people were rejected. To sign up for the draft you filled out a draft card and on this card you had to put your full name, place of residence, age, birth date and place of birth. Then the draft cards were arranged alphabetically and filed.  The men that were accepted were sent to training camps to train in the harshest conditions. One of these camps was the Desert Training Center. The desert represented the sands of Africa. At these camps the draftees learned offensive and defensive drills. They also learned combat skills like hand to hand, weapons and bayonets. The mechanics of the Japanese light guns were taught at these camps. In their training they did a lot of physical labor.  The draftees lacked military fitness. They had to leave family and jobs in an instant to go to war. If there was not a battle going on there was tedious boredom. The army moved to fast for field kitchens so, that the troops hardly got hot meals. Dehydration was a big threat to the troops. All water was treated with iodine or halezone tablets to kill bugs and bacteria.  There are people that got the classification of 4-F. This classification was given to people with muscular and bone malformation or some other diseases. If boys did not pass their physical they were called f-fers. This was a way to get out of being drafted into the military.
