During the Depression, Harry Hopkins, aide to President Roosevelt, asked her to travel the country and write the truth about what she saw. This is part of her summary from January 1935. Here are remarks from several young people in Providence, RI: A 20-year-old boy: УWhy the Hell should I get up in the morning, lady? What am I going to do with all these days? IТve been looking for a job for four years. IТve had two. Five months IТve worked, in all. After a while you just know it ainТt getting you anywhere. ThereТs nothing for us!Ф Another boy: УIТd steal if I had the guts.Ф A pretty 21-year-old girl: УIТm young. It seems to me I got a right to something if itТs only one new dress a year.Ф 19-year-old boy: УItТs funny. A lot of times I get offered a drink. It seems like people donТt want to drink alone. But no one ever offers me a meal. Most of the time when I take a drink it makes me sick. My stomachТs too empty.Ф This passage from Boy and Girl Tramps of America (New York: Farrar & Rinehart, 1934) was written by Thomas Minehan, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota who traveled with young tramps to gather material for this book. Travel interferes with meals. A youth shivers all night in a gondola. Next day he falls asleep on a hillside and sleeps the sleep of exhaustion until dusk. On awakening he is hungry, but where can he get food? The bread lines are closed. The police have, in one of the weekly raids, cleaned out the jungles. At none of the customary places are there friends or food. The youth can beg on the streets, walking miles perhaps before he gets a nickel.Е Dressed as a transient, registered and living at the missions, eating and sleeping with men and boys, working for my soup and bed, taking the compulsory shower and fumigation, I attempted to obtain needed clothing. Without an overcoat beyond a well-worn blazer, buttonless and out at one elbow, with a pair of trousers out at the knee and in the seat, with an old summer cap that had hung for years in a furnace room, with worn tennis shoes covered by patched rubbers, and with a pair of unmatched canvas gloves, I attempted to get some clothes through some regular relief agencies and to no availЕ. Gondola: railroad car with sides but no top Jungles: gathering place for transients on outskirts of town Fumigation: disinfecting with smoke or fumes TNaє Ї ∙∙ё∙6БCJOJQJ CJOJQJ56STNO6 7   Y Z З ┼ є Ї ¤¤¤¤√¤¤¤їїїїїїї¤ДДД╨56STNO6 7   Y Z З ┼ є Ї ¤░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ [$@ё $NormalmH <A@Є б<Default Paragraph Font<T@Є< Block Text Д╨Д╨ CJOJQJЇ        Ї Ї Ї Ї 6:]cdjЛСФЬ║┴Ў  46jШTРФ▄fЕКвн№■ гзX Ў   Deborah A.
