From: GUEST,Parthenon A while back I came across a thread relating to the C.C.C., who, I believe were some sort of cheap-labour construction company working on conservation projects. Does anyone out there have lyrics to the song "Why did I join the C.C.C.@ or any others? |

From: Uncle_DaveO Right alongside the CCC in the pantheon of the New Deal was the WPA, which the bureaucrats called the Works Progress Administration, but a lot of other people knew to stand for "We Poke Along". I don't know what informal readings of CCC may have been around. Dave Oesterreich |

As an aside, they built Guernsey (WY, USA) dam and lake, and some really neat Medieval type picnic shelters and out houses. |
