Photo of the Month - Feb 2005
“War Effort”

Contributor: Shirley Crawford Thompson

War Effort

Very often during World War II, the people of Cliffside would come together to do what they could to help on the home front. On this day men of the town were driving up and down the streets in someone's truck collecting scrap metal. At the moment this was taken they may have been moving through Duke Village.
