THE SUNDAY SUN FEBRUARY 19,

Volcker Has Pioneered Teaneck's ProgressThe Great Doer'Well Earned Title

Paul A. Volcker, Teaneck TownManager, ha.s often been described as'•the great listener." But that is onlyhalf the story. Mr. Volcker is also agreat "doer" and it is to that factthat, Teaneck can ascribe much of it.sprogress since 1930 when the peopleadopted the Township Manager formof government.

As chief executive and administra-tive official of Tesneek, the genialMr. Volcker has had the power to ap-point and remove all departmentheads and all other officers, subor-dinates, and assistants, for whom noother method of selection or removalis provided. He also supervises andcontrols h!s appointees.

Included among the departmentsover which he exercises control arethe Engineering and Inspection,Public Welfare, Tax Office, Police andFire Departments, Shade Tree, Health, jPark.', and Recreation, Sanitation andBuilding Inspection. He hkewl.se su-pervises the Locai A.'«WHtWfp Board,Welfare Director and the PlanningBoard.

Big Man lor Big JobIt's a big job that Mr. Volcker has

on his hands, but he Is a big man and)nus hands capable, of handling it, ashe has proven time and again sincehe came here in 1930.

For instance when he came here theTownship wa.s In a bad way finan-cially. The Town's net debt was al-most $5,000,000 due to injudicius ex-l>enclitures. Today it Is in soundlin.iin.al condition.

Other rian/ies no less startling havebeen brought about. The Fire andPolice Departments have been reor-ganized, the lonner having been miideh fully paid department and greatlyitiurumented. Hoth departments havebecome models of efliciency and Tea-iwrk is known far and wide because ofthem and their work. Many of tfieother services have been provided,Mich as the .Shade lYee Department, ;

a complete park system, a Recreation jivpartment with a paid director, and |many others.

Trained For JobWhat kind of training h** made it

possible tor him to do this job? Abrief biographical sketch may throwlight on it. He was born in Hobokenbut his family moved to Brooklyn,where he was educated, graduatingliom Boys High School there. He thenwent to Renssalaer Polytechnic In-stitute in Troy from which he wasgraduated in 1911 as a civil engineer.Three years later, while working onthe New York State Barge Canal, hemet ;jid married hia wife, the formerAlma Klppel.

After that he worked for the NewYork State Highway Department for jpome umr. then became city engineer ;

for Lebanon, Pa. Next we find himexecutive secretary for the Chamberof Commerce there In 1925 he becamecity m i n c e r In Cape May and it wtk

Then and Now...accidents were reported In whichfourteen persons were injured.

Rear-end collisions again totaledmore than half of the crash causeslisted on the Bergen County Depart-ment monthly report made publictoday by Freeholder William T. Lud-lum, chairman of the Public SafetyCommittte. Of the remaining fif-teen accidents, seven were the resultof skidding, four of faulty left turns,two were head-on crack-ups, and oneeach were due to making a U-turnand cutting off another car.

The years have chtuiged Paul Volcker, just as they have all men, butthe change is not too noticeable. On the left is a picture of Volekermore than ten years ago and on the right is a recent photograph. Theworries of serving Teaneck haven't cost him anymore of his white hair.I*M night the community paid tribute to the Township Manager at asell-out testimonial dinner.

there that former Mayor Karl D. Van !Wagner became acquainted with him.

Mr. Van Wagner was then one ofthe leaders of the Taxpayers' Leaguewhich made the fight to have theTownship manager form of govern-ment here. When the League won out,he suggested Volcker for the job asmanager, and ne was named to thatpost as trie first session of the newCouncil.

At the first meeting, Mr. Volckerannounced that he would always beavailable to t he citizens of the Town-ship and that the door to hL"> officewould 'never be closed." He hasliterally adhered to that policy.

Mr. Volcker lives at 1301 Longfel-low Avenue, and even there the citi-zens of Teaneck are always welcometo call upon him, fot his job makeshim the "Township father" twenty-four hours of the day. He is thefather of three children, two daugh-ters and a son, Paul. Jr.

He Ls a member and past presidentof the Teaneck Rotary Club, the In-ternational Association of MunicipalManagers and many other businessand professional groups.

Once a year Mr. Volcker pets awayfrom Teaneck on his annual vacation.But even vacation time is likely to bepartly taken up by business. His fa-vorite vacation is fishing in the watersof a Maine lake.

TOB SUNDAY SOU

Teaneck's 1st Shaky StepsFormed Basis of Success

To truly understand the history of Teanei-k for the pasttwenty-years under the manager form of government itilalso necessary to study the background of the TownshiMfrom its first Township Committee meetine in I80V .'though Paul Voicker found a floundering coinmuniti whtnhe arrived in 1930, it washe arrived here in 1 9 , was nevertheless an already well establishedone which reached its roots far backinto the past.

Like many another municipality inthe state, Teaneck became a separatecorporate body because of dissatis-faction over the manner in whichmoney raised by taxes was spent.Most of the Township was then apart of Englewood and "Englewood,"says an old account, "had a drainageproblem." The people of the Tea-neck section, mostly farmers and suchwealthy landowners as the Phelps,sympathized with the Englewood cityFathers, but they couldn't see theirlax dollars going where they werereceiving no benefit, so they decidedto separate. The act of secession was

on hand or to become due, and rat-able as assessed by the assessor with-in the limits of the respective Town-ships at last assessment."

The meeting with Englewood wasset for March 27, and that withRidgefield for the following day inthe Lyceum in Leonia.

On April 4 the minutes show thatprogress has been made in this matterbetween Teaneck and Englewood, butthat Ridgefield negotiations were 'un-satisfactory." That Township showed,said Bennett, "no disposition to set-tle with Teaneck and allow it a fairshare of the assets."

Meeting With EnglrwoodEnglewood continued to show a co-

operative spirit in the division of as-finally passed by the Legislature on fFebriury 13, 1895. | **• a n d o n A P r i l »• the two Town-

i * l £ h a ( ? a .jOint m c e t i n « » *According to the Bergen County-Historical Society, Teaneck then hada total population of 1,895.

Elected As IndependentsTeaneck's independence of regular

parties in political manners seems tohave had its beginning in that firstelection to select Township officersfor they ran on Citizens ticket in-stead of the regular party designa-tions of which there were severalthat year, and all of which were ig-nored in the local election.

The first meeting of the new gov-ernment was held March 16, 1895in Teaneck Chapel, now the VFWhendqunrters. According to the min-utes kept by Frank S. DeRonde, firstTownship Clerk, the meeting wascalled to order by ex-Township ClerkCornelius Terhune, at 11:00 a.m. andwho then turned over to the newTownship Clerk, the ballot box, cer-tificate of election find poll clerk'saffidavits.

The members of the Township com-miui'i: were sworn in by TownshipClerk DeRonde. William Bennett wasunanimously elected chairman, HenryJ. Brinkcrhoff, treasurer, and PeterI. Ackerman, poor house trustee.

It was voted to bond Tunis Colethe collector for ?8000; TreasurerBrinkerhoff for $5000; the overseerof the poor fur $1000, and a constablelux tiie iaiiit aiiioum. William John-j>on of Hackensack was named asTownship council at a retainer of $50annually.

Lights and Roads First Itemsli was decided that a lighting com-

mittee should be appointed to as-certain the number of lights then inthe Township and the number whichwould be needed. Ackerman wasnamed to check on this in the sec-tion of the Township west of theWest Shore Railroad and North o!Cedar Lane, and Bennett the rest01 the Township, each to act as ucommittee of one in his respectivedistrict. Bennett was also to ascertainthe cost of gas and gasoline lamps.

To supervise roads, the Townshipwas divided into three districts forwhich superintendents were appoint-ed in the first two districts as fol-lows: Number one—all roads southof, and including Cedar Lane lromthe .railroad to Overpeek Creek, Wil-liam p. DeGraw; Number two—thesection north of Cedar Lane and eastof the railroad, John H. Ackerman

In the third district, Peter A. Ac-kerman was appointed a committeeof one to inspect the condition of theroads and report back to the Com-mittee.

Set Itcnt lor ChapelJohn Ackerman, representing the

trustees of the Teaneck Chapel, statedthat the trustees were willing to rentthe building for Township meetings at$150 i*r year including "fire andlight," but they wished to stipulatethe number of meetings. A formalcontract for not more than thirtymeetings per year was ordered drawnup.

The Township voted to borrow $500in anticipation of taxes, and the \treasurer was named a committee of |one to arrange the securing of monies !on the most favorable terms passible !

for at least four months, and notmore than six months. The meetingadjourned at 4 40 p.m. having lastedalmost «U hours.

At points in procedure to whichthe citizen objected, he squeezed the: ,A! vigorously. The resulting squawk-IIH: added to the confusion 01 Uienvet ing.

Tin? town had gone in for over-ur-.e'.opment during the twenties,V'.ilcker said. Speculators envisioned..;!m:iy stations on every corner. Thelu.wv.hip had a deficit of $340,000.A; the first of last year, there was asurplus of $750,000, plus millions oili.iilars worth of improvements.

We kept our feet on t r r ground,md went to work," he mid. "Likeill jobs there have been times of greatdiscouragement and times of. greatiatisfaction."

Volcker came to Teaneck at tn? hi-\itjtion cf the council newly pi t tedalter the referendum authorizing therouncil-manager plan. He had been)ii!»iily recommended for the work heII.KI done in Cape May in reorgan-izing that town physically and fi-nancially.

Tea neck's manager has made a fct-i..ii of keeping the town enlightened.r. to municipal affairs. He is meticu-lous in the reporUs he has .submittedlo the citizens each year telling wha:liad been done with their tax money,down to the last penny. He also ex-pi uneu what the township's govern-ment was likely to cost in the coin-ing year. In his forthcoming reportlie explains that the township spends(inly 39 cents of each tax dollar itcollects, Uie rest going for schoolsand the county. Of the 39 cents, 2Gcent.-, are allocated to operating costsand 13 cents to debt service.

ship was drawrt. It hangs In thecouncil room. This plan enabled theK'wi'ining bodies to build lor the iu-lun' preventing the evils of mush-rooming common in young townswhich later find themselves withoutsuitable sites for parks, schools and

Pour, the low crime record, highclass department htads and the opendoor policy—citizens are free tobring their problems to the town-ship manager for a hearing at anytime. Other accomplishments includecompetent building inspection, theorigin and development of the parkand playurouna program, installationof a 'cradle to grave' recreation pro-gram, a shade tree bureau, machinesweeping of .street;, and leaf removal,prompt snow removal, liquidation oftax lieas, school crossing guards, pen-sions and civil service for employes.

The new fire headquarters and thepolice headquarter* now under con-struction are outstanding accomplish-ments, as was the expansion of thi1

library, the pay-as-you-p.o iwlicy forrelief expenditures the ref'inding ofthe inherited short time lndiMtcinf*'-.of $3,000,000 or more, three quartersof which is now paid off, he said.

A Rvmurkuhlv ManPerhaps, the most unusual quality any

man can possess is that of being reiioriiU%'well liked and respected. (Generally as aman goes ahead in life he leaves behindenemies as well as friends even if throughjio fault of his ow7i.

Paul Volcker has spent twenty years inU position where it would have been theeasiest tiling in the worjd to make enemies.lie has been the man who has had to say•'no" at least as often as he could say"yes." lie has listened patiently to tax-payers who have indignantly stormedTown Hall seeking redress for both fanciedand real grievances. He hasn't, of course,always been able to satisfy them hut fewhave left his office with any personalanimosity toward him.

The real secret of his success in thatrespect was typified by his "open door"policy. He has kept no secrets, he hasalways spoken what lie believes to be thetruth, and whether you afi'ft'e or disagree,with his views on any issue you at leastjro away convinced that he is doing whathe considers best for the eniire community.

J'aul Voicker today is probably one ofthe few things on which practically everyTeaneck citizen ran ajfree. There may besharp clashes of opinion over the Council;there may be heated arguments at publicmeetings, but from it all Paul Volckerstill continues to emerge as a man towhom the entire community c;in l(,<ik withrespect.

There have been many "testimonial"dinners in Teaneck since Paul Volckerfirst arrived twenty years ago. At mostof them he was an honored guest butnever the man singled out to receive thehonors. Last night a large gathering ofhis friends and neighbors joined in payinghim a well-deserved tribute.

That he thinks he doesn't deserve thehonor is characteristic of him. l«ut in thelong run he has built his own tribute. Thenumerous community improvements whichlie fathered will remain long beyond ourown time and each of them will remainas a tribute to the while-haired man witha pipe who helped to build a town thatpeople are proud to call home.

Now About Some Action?It's getting to be t|iiile fashionable

these days to talk about ways of prevent-ing1 sex crimes. Kverybody agrees thatsex crimes are terrible and everyone agreesthat something should be done. Hut likein many other questions the only thingthat is really done is a great,, deal of talk-ing and little action.

Uight here in our own dignified, well-run communities there is a great deal thatcan actually be done and we can start theball rolling by taking some hold action onthe local level. On page one of today'sSun you'll find a story entitled "Sin andSox For Sale." That may sound a bitshirking. We hope it does because that'sexactly what we would like it to do—shockpeople into action.

We wouldn't presume to set ourselvesup as the judge of what is good for publicmorals. Hut we do think there should bea limit, especially to the type of materialthat is allowed to fall into the hands ofyoungsters.

Here's a quotation from the insidecover of "Illicit IVsires," a book that yourchild could easily purchase for twenty-fivecents. "Passion's slaves! There's manya sizzling tale al>out 'the farmer's daugh-ter,' hut never has the truth IHVII told sorevealinjrly as in this story of Kva: *>fIHuzie, her buxom, full-lxtsomrd rival, andtheir spirited fight for thrir mutual lover,Joe. In 'Illicit Desires' you'll thrill to theprimitive passions which move these<ou»try people to the ecstatic heights oflove and to the emotional frustrations

which plunge them into the darkest depthsof hatred and tragedy. A story ofprimal urges, of unbridled passion—astory you can't afford to miss!" Thatsounds like veiy educational rea/ling,doesn't it?

Our newsdealers are forced to pay forand handle this type of trash because theyare tied in with the distribution of repu-table newspapers and magazines. A dealereither takes them all or doesn't get any.

To our way of thinking here's a realissue for a Parent-Teacher Association totackle. We won't embarrass anybody bymaking them go out and ask for the booksthemselves—although they are easilyobtainable—hut will gladly turn over toany PTA representatives copies of booksfor their study.

How about some action on this prob-lem or are we just kidding when we talkabout preventing sex crimes. Certainly,these hooks do little else but feed warpedappetites. If we need local ordinances toban them from our stands then let's do itand make it deal- that we mean business!

Donald V. Lowe, New Jersey Chairman ofthe Citizens' Committee for the HooverKeport, will answer questions submittedto him by a panel of newspaper editorsrelating to citizen responsibility for cor-recting some of the extravagances of thefederal government.

Probably no domestic issue before theAmerican people at the moment is sovitally important to the public welfare orso little understood by the average citizen.

The Commission issued its report in18 categories with recommendations thatwould, in its judgment, save the taxpayersat least three billion dollars a year. Someof the reforms proposed could be carriedout bv executive order. Others requiredaction |>y Congress.

To i:\tc most, of the recommendationswithin the authority of the executivedepartment have been put into effect, butthis represents only about 20 percent ofthe total program. Scores of bills aimedat implementing the other 80 percent or^the program have been introduced eitherin the Senate or the House, but congres-sional action has stalled and little or noth-ing is being done.

The Citizens' Committee for the HooverReport was formed as a voluntary groupof patriotic citizens of all political faithsfor the purpose of stimulating actionthrough citizen pressure on Congress. Dr.Robert L. Johnson, president of TempleUniversity, is the national chairman andMr. Lowe, a resident of 1'crgen Countyand former chairman of the County lie-publican committee, heads the movementin New Jersey.

We urge our readers to hear Mr. Lowein his radio broadcast at 7:I»0 tonight, andto respond to his call for action on thisimportant issue.

\ Arausand his 100 eyes

If a modern artist wanted to paint an impressionisticpicture of Paul Volcker all he'd have to use is a pipe and atrhnsle. Those who know Paul well would recognize himimmediately. The pipe is hardly ever missing from his mouthand the triangles will be found on any piece of paper uponwhich he has doodled. Volcker is a great doodler. He'll sitalmost disinterestedly through a speech while he disfigur- sthe back of a menu with circles, triangles, and other geomet-ric figures. The pipe and the triangles both give a goodkey to his personality. The pipe stands for his calm, unex-cited manner and the triangles for a keen, mathematicalmind that quickly leads him to the bottom of any problem.

You'll hear lots of stories today about Teaneck's Township Manager ashe is fa.'t becoming a legend in his own time. He'll modestly disclaim iu;vcredit for what has been accomplished in Teanerk but others will quicklylay the credit right back on his own doorstep. The truth of the matter Isprobably somewhere between the two. Certainly, Volcker hasn't done thewhole job by himself but at the same time it's questionable if it could havebe done without him.

On the cover of the program given out at last night's dinner was a fmllength picture of the Township Manager and there's a little story behnuithat picture that may give Paul a chuckle.

Ray Milbrecht of the Bergen County Players did a good turn for societylast week by playing the part of a "drunk" in a mock court room scene.The newspapers took pictures of the "drunk" being tested by a police doctorand g.«ve the story a good spread. A day later Bergen County police receiveda visit from a Bronx woman who had seen one of the pictures and saidthat the "drunk" was her long lost son. Milbrecht hastened to explain th.itthere might be a resemblance between him and the woman's son but that'sas far as it went. His own mother, he reported, was in Florida at the momenton a vacation.

Thenew Congressman hastily put out thecigarette with somewhat of a red face andthe newspapers gave the indoctrination ofMr. Widnall front page play.

While the story was all Mr. Widnall'sit did serve as a reminder of the thank."owed by many voters to CongressmanTowe. Kver since J. Parnell Thomas ranafoul of the law the 7th District has beengetting along without a Congressman andMr. Towe has been quietly and unofficiallydoing an outstanding1 job of representing"two districts.

When Congressman Towe told Con-gressman Widnall about the "No Smoking"rule he was simply doing what he has beendoing for two years—keeping an eye onBergen County's unrepresented district.

Congressman T< we's term of office willexpire this year. He must be entered inan April primary for the Republicannomination and then he must seek re-election in November.

whicllo\ve(had brought the municipality to thebrink of financial difficulty. In a.special election held September 16,1930, ihe League succeeded in electingall five of its candidates therebybringing a new era of government toTeaneck.

Only one member of the retiringgovernment was on hand to greet thenew Councilmen. He was AugustHanniball Jr. and he turned over thegovernment to Louis C. Morten whoacted as temporary chairman andwished its members .success.

Van Wagner First MajorMoiten, in accepting, said he recog-

nized the serious and responsible du-ties resting on the shoulders of thenew government and that said that itwould try to perform them acceptablyin the interests of the people. Hethen called for the election of aMayor and Karl D. Van Wagner whohad led the fight for the new formof government was chosen by a fourto one vote.

Henry Deissler, a councilman today,waj named Township Clerk. Thenihe naming of Paul A. Volcker asTownship Manager was made official-ly and Volcker immediately announcedhis now famous "open door" policy.From thut day to this the door toVolcker's office has seldom been closedMid he h;;s transacted official businesswithin the sight of every visitor toTown Hall.

The Council then got down to theserious business of reforming the gov-ernment by terminating the appoint-ments of several officials and ap-pointing others in their places.

Brat Recall MoveBut opposition to the new form of

government was not dead. It ex-pressed itself two years later in alccall election, but the IncumbentCouncilmen, again strongly supportedby the Taxpayers League, won out.For a few years, however, the newcouncil was never free from attack.Sessions of the body were uproarious.•lid police were stationed inside theCouncil chamber to keep order. Oncelive chickens were released in theroom to create confusion.

Gradually the new governmentproved itself. When it was inaug-urated the net municipal debt wa.s$4,971,000. This was steadily cut downwith each passing year. But withalthe Township services were not slight-ed. Rather they were extended. Oneof the first additions was the abolitionof the volunteer fire department infavor of a fully paid one with a paidchief. The police force was enlargedund improved. A Shade Tree Depart-ment was established which has sinceplanted thousands of new trees andpreserved many of tne older ones.

Additional paved streets have beenadded; a Recreation Department un-der a paid director was formed. Un-der the manager form of governmentihe community has continued to ex-pand; has increased the number ofImproved parts and playgrounds; theLibrary has been enlarged; a HealthDepartment organised under the di-rection of Dr. B. S. Bookstaver, andthis Health Department was grantedfcupervlsion over local schools.

The Township manager form ofgovernment can now be said to have"sold" itself to the people of Teaneckso firmly that it cannot be. done awaywith. In the early elections followingthe manager's appearance, there wasconsiderable opposition to it, but nowit is generally accepted and i.s seldomeven suggested as a possible campaignissue.

Paul Volcker has made managergovernment the established order inTeaneck and in so doing he has paved•he way for its acceptance iu many°ther communities.

nuring the balance of the season,the following subjects and dates areMheduled. On March 9, Swift's "Gul-Inu'.s Travels" will be discussed, and

Completion of the acquisition of landfor Central Park marks one of Tea-neck's major civic achievements ac-complished over a long period of years,Volcker said. It began when the parksystem was originated in 1932.

Frank A. Weber of the GardenState National Bank recalls that hewas chairman of a citizen's committeeback in the thirties that recommendedturning the seemingly worthless landinto a park.

During the booming twenties, hesaid, u real esuie auctioneer visitedTeaneck and sold many lots in thearea. Came the depression and manyowners defaulted on their taxes,others were willing to sell their lotsfor very little.

Little by little the township ac-quired the projierly which was largelyof a swampy nature. Some citizensdeeded their property to the town,some exchanged it for other property, .some was purchased and some ac- 'quired through tax lien foreclosureFor the two largest parcels formalcondemnation proceedings were in-stituted.

Primary development of the parkwas a WPA project on which hund-reds of men worked. Dirt from highplaces was used to fill in low spots.Much was hauled from the easternend of Cedar Lane. Excavation ma-terial from construction of streets andother public projects was brought tothe park. That is still being done to-day. Dirt is stored there now and willbe distributed as money permits untilall the low areas are filled in.

The park with its fifty acres nowboasts a natural amphitheater wheresummer concerts are held, playgroundfacilities, softball and baseball dia-monds, and area for hoi.se shoe pitch-ing, a picnic area and is used exten-sively by High School teams for prac-tice and for intra-mural games.

on March 23, selections from Pascal's"Pensees."

The April meetings on the sixthand twentieth will feature Rousseau'sDiscourse on Inequality and Treati.seOn Political Economy, nnd Ken'ts"Metaphysical Elements of Ethics."

During May "Bevond Good andEvil" by Nietzsche will be diseased atthe meeting on the fourth; and chap-ters one through .six of Mill's "Re-presentative Government" on theeighteenth.

The season's program will be con-cluded on June 1, with a discussion of"Religion and the Rise of Capitalism"bv Tawney.

"In the first phase of the Cam-paign, we made a few approaches toorganizations in the Northern Valleywith gratifying results. The I Jon sClub of Tenafly has subscribed $3,600—the Junior League of Englewood, inMemory of Elizabeth Glldden, $1 000•-tlie Central Supply Auxiliary of Engir-wood Hospital, $1.739—as well asother subscriptions from Nemo Howl-ing Club, Welfare Group of Engle-wood Evening Contemporary Club,and the Willow Valley Study Club-were received in the first pha.se ofthe campaign. The clubs and organi-zations in our area have done an out-standing civic work In their c<«n-munities. The membership, of ap-proximately 500 clubs and organiza-tions, is constantly being called on tolead various projects outside of ac-tivity within their organization. Iam sure that through three notivitl.-s

Town Manager AdvocatesNew Foreclosure Method

Adoption of In Rem proceedings in the matter of taxdelinquent property will result in saving of time and moneyto the taxpayers, says Township Manager Paul A. Volckerof Teaneck.

"The theory behind this fonn of real property foreclo-sure U that the responsibilty for thepayment of the debt against theproperty Is on the shoulders of theowner, he said. "When a propertyU to become burdened with debt byAn ordinance, the owner must begiven due notice after the propertyla so burdened. It in then up to theowner U> look after his Interest.

"It is not the business of the taxingbody to keep notifying the ownerthat his property Ls not clear. Heahould make it his business to knowwhat lies agalast it. Much time andmoney has been spi-nt In the pa.stIn hunting down owners, heirs, cre-ditors and others all over the countrywho might not have the .slightestinterest to Inform them of chargesagainst the property.

"In Rem prom-dings do not meantaking property without due processof law. Notice of all assessments isgiven, but once a Hen has beenplaced on his projx-rty, It is up tothe owner to take care of it. Allthat l.s needed Is to pubiLsh the de-linquent tax list and to k'ive publicnotice."

Volcker pointed out that while InRom procedure Ls now to New Jer-sey, other states including New York,have made successful use of It inclearing up liens. Its use, he said,ha.s been upheld several times bythe United States Supreme Court,consequently It is exacted that NewJersey title Insurance companies willfall In line and provide title in-surance. Several test cases are nowpending In the State Supreme Court,he .said.

In response to student questions onthe value of advertising in ->ur society.Sumner stated that its greatest con-tribution is that it increases con-sumption, thus creating employmentand resulting in a higher standardof in Ing. To illustrate his point, ,ivcited the United States us the pl.icewhere the use of advertising is JJVJ thighly developed with the consequenthighest standard of living In theworld.
