//Large numbers of the unemployed received no assistance. Welfare as we know it did not exist; neither did unemployment insurance, housing assistance, medical care, food stamps, or social security. Local governments did not themselves construct bridges, parks or museums. …Yet the needy were helped, civic amenities were erected and the children of indigent workers had a chance at education. Side by side with government operated a congeries of organizations whose aims though quite disparate, were to influence the quality of social, civic and public life in America.//"
