The township committee is planning a dedication ceremony on Memorial Day when a bronze plaque will be unveiled dedicating the project to the memory of the 12 township who gave their lives during World War II.

But let a typical veteran voice a secret fear in his heart: -I haven't got the building know-how. What I donT know about home construction would fill a wing of the Pentagon Building.

But Anderson pointed out an extra benefit to students: much more competitive, which also accounts for their growing willingness to take mortgages on their properties." Because of its national coverage Previews cannot handle homes in the lower price brackets, and the average sale price of homes for which it was the broker in 1948 was $33,800, but its New Jersey sales at that average were about 40 per cent greater last year than in 1947. The price, however, was two per cent lower in the preceding year, and Harlow sees this drop as the beginning of a trend. He Is of the opinion that there will be an active market at close to recent prices for some time to come.
