For that time it makes sense as this likely did leverage the days technology. But the ducking under the desk, I always thought it was put in place as a false sense of security.

The Women’s Federation Monument in Alpine, New Jersey was dedicated April 30, 1929
to honor the role that the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs took in preserving the Palisades.
In the early 19th century, quarrying had begun to take place along the Palisades and after the Civil War
it intensified due to the high demand for concrete. By the 1890s, citizens in New Jersey and New York
began to rally in opposition of further destruction of the cliffs. In 1897, the New Jersey State Federation
of Women's Clubs joined other interested groups to fight for legislation to protect the Palisades. In 1900,
as a result of their efforts, the Palisades Interstate Park Commission was formed to preserve the cliffs and shoreline.
Today, the Palisades are a National Natural Landmark (designated 1983) and you can explore natural and historic
locations along the Palisades Scenic Byway

May 26, 1978, the first legal casino outside of Nevada opened in Atlantic City, #NewJersey - Resorts International. Initial gaming laws in New Jersey only allowed casinos to operate for eighteen hours during the week and twenty hours during the weekends.
