Then war-boomed industry offered employment to increasing numbers ' of workers. WPA contributed to its| jown demise by instituting training| programs that prepared thousands | for defense jobs after 1940. Construction work always ac- counted for the bulk of WPA ac tivity, but the cultural and com munity service enterprises, ridi-| |culed as “boondoggling” by polit-| ical enemies, caused the most con-| |troversy. ‘ Looking back, WPA left a per-| manent imprint on the culture . of the nation. More than 2,500 mural paintings, 16,500 pieces of sculpture |and 108,000 easel works for public buildings—some of them works of |real art—were completed by WPA | ‘#arts projects workers. No other ;agency ever gave such a boost to 50| |many struggling artists. % | The WPA theater projects | pumped new life into the legitimate | theater. Some of today’s top young | |stars are Federal Theater gradu- | ates. The writers’ projects compiled; the American Guidebook series, that | introduced Americans to their own| country. A mass of invaluable folk- | lore and history was collected for future study. { : In construction of public build- ings, WPA made an important con- tribution to present-day life. Some 664,000 miles of highway, much of it strategically important in war time, was built by WPA labor. No | less than 5,700 new schools, 200 new | | hospitals, 140 libraries, 8,100 parks, | 950 sewage-treatment plants, 16,000 miles of water mains and 15,000 miles of drainage ditches for ma- laria mosquito control are WPA contributions to urban life. Living} in many congested areas, tough as |can be now, would be almost imposJ sible without facilities built by WPA | {labor brigades. | Help Invaluable | Discount all this, though. Say| {that all the public construction and public service projects were wasted | jmoney. There are still military authorities who argue that WPA was worth its salt, if for no other reason than its airport program. The majority of U. S. airports were built or improved by WPA. |In all, more than 800 airports re- ;celved WPA attention. Almost | without exception, they are in mil- |itary use today.
