Description

Pictured: “Cameron High School aids scrap drive: students at Cameron High School, 1028 First Avenue, South, have piled up a large scrap heap on the school yard in their patriotic cooperation with the current salvage drive. L. W. Beasley serves as faculty advisor for the school drive, and H. J. Johnson is principal of the school.” During World War II Americans were active with scrap drives to help the war effort. Local communities were salvaging raw materials such as metal, rags, rubber, and paper to be used to supply troops. These special home front war programs were often well-coordinated through committees that engaged widespread urban and rural participation and motivated patriotism and community spirit.
