Golden Jubilee of_the__ First''Presbyterian Church was celebrated June 9-12. 1901, with a series of special exercises and services. As it heared its fiftieth birthday, 1 the congregation ? had become aware' that •" there was need in Garwpo'd lor some organized religipus activity, and the"Session had | acteded to the request of a group there that they be connected with the Cranford church. Sunday School classes were being held in a schoolhouse and later in the Lent -Building'in_ Garwood, and occasionally*^ minister could be secured for church services. Under the.parent church' Seminary student pastors were employed and the • Garwood group flourished. ,A site for a Garwood chapel waspur- in f904 and a new building was dedicated there in 1906; This chapel called its" own minister in 1914, and continued to 'receive financial support from the parent church to some degree until 1925. With the- growth of its i-membership and its Sunday School, the Cranford church i felt the need for space for recreation, the activities of its. many nqw organizations and the preparation and serving- of meals and refreshments. Property at .the corner of Springfield .Ave. and Milh St. was acquired in 1949 and the manse that haa\ stood nextUolt was razed. In 1951, when the Church School had over..1,000 students (second' highest in the state) a new brick • Education Buildiftg was constructed on the manse site. - ' The completion ol its first one hundred years was marked by the church itua Centennial celebration Item June 2-10, 19al. A special project to "perpetuate the spirit and ideals of the I'.ourisers of our church and gratefully acknowledge our heritage" was- the establish- ment of a Centennial Scholarship to be awarded annually to some young person ijvepaiing tor, lull- time s'er.yjco in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. Twelve young men and witmen have been awarded the scholarship. Two young men of the congregation currently have applied to be taken under the -care of the Presbytery with the goal of entering full-time church service. 1 •' ancj 'Lincoln Aves. / —-F- it iy- peop 1-e-en ter ed into an agreement to build a church here following an i ttrg^i'.iiyation meeting on •January 24. 1850, in the home ol Josiah Crane at the, - corner,::oLN_oHh_.and . L'nion. .•Yves., present home of the Suburban* Trust Company. The I irs.t -edifice stood on Alden St.'.- between 1 '. North and North'Union Aves.

There •were -22 ( members, who joined- by letter from the Wes'tfi-old Presbyterian Church, with three ruling elders and'two deacons. The. Sunday School moved into -.the' new quarters, with 29 members A Circle w established. Josiah Crane"had donated the land 'for the 'church, a manse and burying grounds. The burial grounds, located on the south- side of the railroad between High St.- and the river, were sold in 1868 and femains moved to Fairview Cemetery to a plot purchased by the church. When the town-'* name became Crani'ord in 18H9, the church changed jts name accordingly. The present site of the church, at the corner . of 'North Union and Springfield Aves.. was bought from John. Grant Crane, and. a new^ building was erected there in 18(S8. The original^ building was moved to the- , Year of the new and used as "an;d~Spnday School building. Two wings-were added to it in 187.3, and it was. replaced by a new charjel in 1888 as the congregation outgrew the facilities. 'Further enlargement needed in 1894. The church was tran- sferred by the Synod-of New Jersey to the Presbytery of Newark in 1,865. and finally Jjecamo connected with the Presbytery of Elizabeth when there-was a reunion of "New ' School" and "Old School" Presbyterians in 1870 "By • 189:1 the need for a larger house of worship was being felt, and contracts were let I or,-a new building.

Walter W. Gardiner, traffic engineer of the Union County Planning Board, told a meeting of the Cranford Planning Board, attended by representatives of theTraffic Coordinating Committee and Township Committee last Wednesday night., * Ifjiowever, the increase, in Rodents amounted to * 4,000 students during the .day and an equal number at night, Mr. GardineV projected, then Cranford would have to make some significant changes in its traffic control on Springfield Ave. Many students come through" the south part of town already, he observed, but fortunstely-^the—com-' . muter peaks and the student peaks along Springfield Ave, miss each other. Basinigliis projections on a system of curves, — the results of traffic survey^ taken during one week last winter, — Mr^ Gardiner explained that tne intention of the county road system should be "to make good county roads .. like Springfield Aye,, and to make- them satisfy im tercommurrity traffic needs>!' •,. ' - Mr. Gardiner ruled out the possibility that Gallows Hill Rd. might take some of-the burden off Springfield A*ve. He said at the moment Gallows Hill.Rd. takes very little traffic, and. the j^rojection for 1985. expected the street behind Union Winfield Circle Put High on Priority List Traffic improvements at Winfield Circle and creation of a jug handle to improve the traffic, situation at . Centennial Ave. and Myrtle St. are high on a priority list of recommendations of the Unicm County Planning •Board, it was reported by Walter-W^Gardincr-^tr-afiic— engineer of the county board," at a meeting of the Cranford Planning Board last Wednesday night. Mr." Gardiner said the Union County Planning Board primarily recom mended improvement of , Winfield Circle by widening the road and placing a signal there. He said the improvement there could be underway by 1972. • # Other recommendations included, in decreasing . order of priority: A new ip-second traffic signal progr essi-on throughout all of Cranford; A jug-handle approach at [he CenteYinial-Hillside- Myrtle' complex in order to "reduce a "single-file dribble problem;" Building the Cayuga Rd. jug handle, which would include two lanes of traffic and stoplight; Widening the intersection ~al CenTefin i a I ~Tmd—Sctath— Aves; Widening the intersection at Centennial and Lincoln Avl's; and Widening Centennial and Springfield Aves .to •!() feet, to allow for four lanes of , traffic. Mr. Gardiner added that on financing these projects, should the town decide to go ahead with them, the county would handle the,, road construction-. The township would pay for the stoplights. He also recommended that Cranford investigate a new federal aid program . called " TOPICS. College to take at most one- third of the college traffic away from'SpringfiQld Ave. He.said the street could-be.a "good local collector." . .Hoy Smith,. public _ relations director.of Union College, commented that most students in the future ' would come from the eastern end of\ Union County. In other discussion, Mr. Gardiner listed a group of recommended projects in Cranford, which, he said, might help to * ease congestion'along Springfield. and Centennial Aves. Implicit in these" recom- mendations, he added, was that the counfy would most likely assurpe the con- - struction^ costs o[ .these improvements. Mjenael-Bury, also of the Union County Planning Board, emphasized that the board can only recommend .to ' municipalities on road changes. "The- county has tried to operate by-persuasion." Mr. Bury said. "We think that the road plan is a reasonable plan. It we take it piecemeal, we're not going to do \l." a On the"iminediate'traffic problem along Springfield Avo:, My;. Gardiner said that it most likely was an en- forcement problem on speed. He recommended, however, tfiat^parking .be prohibited on both, sides ol f i f c W He also recommended a i widening of the intersection at Springfield and Orange Aves. ' On other, problems. Mr. Gardiner said truck weights were s,et ])> complicated formulas, and that man* 1 \hridge signs as a result were" misleading. The sign on the Springfield Ave bridge, for instance, he said, did not include Id tons gross weight; rather it applies to a complicated formula for computing weight according to'load. axle weight, width of lires, and distance Ivetvveen ;ixles. Cahill Due At Lottery Draw Here Cranford is the site today of this week's drawing of the •New. 1 Jersey State Lottery ori North Union /We., between Alden St. and Springfield Ave., at 11:00' a.m, Dr. Thomas E.

As it heared its fiftiethbirthday,1 the congregation

?had become aware' that •"there was need in Garwpo'dlor some organized religipusactivity, and the"Session had |acteded to the request of agroup there that they beconnected with the Cranfordchurch. Sunday Schoolclasses were being held in aschoolhouse and later in theLent -Building'in_ Garwood,and occasionally*^ ministercould be secured for churchservices. Under the.parentchurch' Seminary studentpastors were employed andthe • Garwood groupflourished. ,A site for aGarwood chapel waspur-

in f904 and a newbuilding was dedicatedthere in 1906; This chapelcalled its" own minister in1914, and continued to'receive financial supportfrom the parent church tosome degree until 1925.

With the- growth of itsi-membership and its Sunday• School, the Cranford churchi felt the need for space for

recreation, the activities ofits. many nqw organizationsand the preparation andserving- of meals andrefreshments.

Property at .the corner ofSpringfield .Ave. and MilhSt. was acquired in 1949 andthe manse that haa\ stoodnextUolt was razed. In 1951,when the Church School hadover..1,000 students (second'highest in the state) a newbrick • Education Buildiftgwas constructed on themanse site. - '

The completion ol its firstone hundred years wasmarked by the church ituaCentennial celebration ItemJune 2-10, 19al. A specialproject to "perpetuate thespirit and ideals of theI'.ourisers of our church andgratefully acknowledge ourheritage" was- the establish-ment of a CentennialScholarship to be awardedannually to some youngperson ijvepaiing tor, lull-time s'er.yjco in thePresbyterian Church U.S.A.Twelve young men andwitmen have been awardedthe scholarship. Two youngmen of the congregationcurrently have applied to betaken under the -care of thePresbytery with the goal ofentering full-time churchservice.1 •'

Mr." Gardiner said theUnion County PlanningBoard primarily recommended improvement of

, Winfield Circle by wideningthe road and placing asignal there. He said theimprovement there could beunderway by 1972. •

# Other recommendationsincluded, in decreasing

. order of priority:A new ip-second traffic

s i g n a l p r o g r essi-onthroughout all of Cranford;

A jug-handle approach at[he CenteYinial-Hillside-Myrtle' complex in order to

"reduce a "single-file dribbleproblem;"

Building the Cayuga Rd.jug handle, which wouldinclude two lanes of trafficand stoplight;

Widening the intersection~al CenTefin i a I ~Tmd—Sctath—

Aves;Widening the intersection

at Centennial and LincolnAvl's; and

Widening Centennial andSpringfield Aves .to •!() feet,to allow for four lanes of ,traffic.

Mr. Gardiner added thaton financing these projects,should the town decide to goahead with them, the countywould handle the,, roadconstruction-. The townshipwould pay for the stoplights.

He also recommendedthat Cranford investigate anew federal aid program

. called " TOPICS.

College to take at most one-third of the college trafficaway from'SpringfiQld Ave.He.said the street could-be.a"good local collector." ..Hoy Smith,. public _

relations director.of UnionCollege, commented thatmost students in the future 'would come from theeastern end of\ UnionCounty.

In other discussion, Mr.Gardiner listed a group ofrecommended projects inCranford, which, he said,might help to * easecongestion'along Springfield.and Centennial Aves.Implicit in these" recom-mendations, he added, wasthat the counfy would mostlikely assurpe the con-

- struction^ costs o[ .theseimprovements.

Mjenael-Bury, also of theUnion County PlanningBoard, emphasized that theboard can only recommend

.to ' municipalities on roadchanges.

"The- county has tried tooperate by-persuasion." Mr.Bury said. "We think thatthe road plan is a reasonableplan. It we take itpiecemeal, we're not goingto do \l."a

On the"iminediate'trafficproblem along SpringfieldAvo:, My;. Gardiner said thatit most likely was an en-forcement problem onspeed. He recommended,however, tfiat^parking .beprohibited on both, sides olf i f c WHe also recommended a iwidening of the intersectionat Springfield and OrangeAves. '

On other, problems. Mr.Gardiner said truck weightswere s,et ])> complicatedformulas, and that man*1

\hr idge signs as a result were"misleading. The sign on theSpringfield Ave bridge, forinstance, he said, did notinclude Id tons grossweight; rather it applies to acomplicated formula forcomputing weight accordingto'load. axle weight, width oflires, and distance Ivetvveen;ixles.

. "The synagogues have-boon reduee4-fa>m-450-to-65-congregations, and the,useof Hebrew or Yiddish intheir news, media is,.im-possible," ..Mr. Thai said."The basic right to live orleave has been, violated atevery turn."

The' choice of silence orviolence is a hard one, butthe policy of the JewishDefense - 'League isrepugnant to the majority,the speaker declared.
