latIons and a word OF good advise.
While embarrassing to many, was the
happiest moment of many OF the boys
lives.
This was particularly true of Will
lard Snedeker, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard Snedeker, who was the only
local boy to loose a leg in action. AS
he stepped forward Governor Run
yon not only added increased words
of congratulation but signally honored
Snedeker by placing the medal on
his breast. Another honor man among
those present was William Van Pelt
Jr., who lost an eye, with danger of
the other becoming affected.
The presentation of medals was
next in order. Borough Clerk vii.
liam II. Brooks called the names OF
personally handed the medal, a pretty
affair to~a committee of aides from
Jamesburg Unit of the Red Cross who
pinned the medal on the uniforms.
Assisting Mrs. Brooks were officers OF
the Red Cross unit: Mrs. Milton /.

The address of Governor Runyon
to the boys, though short was n of
the most finished eulogieS ever the
| pleasure of local people to hear in
many years. He ~admonished them to
always remember the lessons taught
by their experiences overseas; ever
be careful of the temptations that
were now a memoir and hat they
were a credit to the State of New
Jersey and hat they should always
be bouyed up with the thoughts Of
| the deeds accomplished that would be
as sacredly honored by their state as
the deeds of Washington, at Trenton,
| Princeton and Monmouth. The glor-
ious victories Of the Argonne, st. Me-
| hiel, the Marine and other sacred bat
| tie fields of France would live always
| as q memorial to the deeds of our
| glorious arms, who arrived when the
foe had the allies with their backs
| to the wall, he said.
The singing of America" and the
rendering of the benediction by the
Rev. J. B. Shaw, pastor of the Meth
odist church brought the serious part
of the celebration to a close. A big
chicken dinner prepared by the hands
of the mothers and sweethearts of the
soldiers and their friends under the
leadership of Mrs. Margaret Abbott
proved a tempting treat for the boys
and all did justice to the feast serv-
ed under the large tent donated by
Mechanics Home Council, Junior Or
| der United American Mechanics. This
was followed by the big community
dance that was given on the latest
dancing floor of concrete laid In Tri-
angle Park. Tuneful selections like
How are you going to keep them
down on the Farm" etc. soon had the
troubles that did not terminate until
soldiers forgetting their overseas
midnight.
