The Miller-Cory House was named in honor of its two pre- Revolutionary owners, both descended from the earliest settlers in this area, While they were rural farmers, they knew some degree of sophistication, for the West Fields were at the crossroads of Colonial America on the Old York Road, the main route from New York to Philadelphia. Life was uniquely in- fluenced then, even as it is today, by a location between two major cities. The MiNer-Cory House Museum is a slory-and-a-half clapboard farmhouse with shingled roof, brace-and-beam construction and nogging filled walls typical of an average Now Jersey homestead of tho mid-18th century. It was begun in 1740, at the time Samuel Miller married his wife Sabra. Three sec- tions were completed before Samuel Miller's death in 1782. The property came into the possession of Joseph Cory sometime in the 1780's and re- mained in the Cory family until 1921. Joseph Cory died in 1802 and his in- ventory of that date set the pattern for furnishing the house. The Miller-Cory House Museum is open on Sundays, except holiday week- ends, from 2 to r> p.m., from mid-September until mid-June. Costumed docents are on hand to guide visitors through the farmhouse and skilled craftspeople demonstrate the daily and seasonal tasks of the 18th century farm family. For more information individuals may call 232-1776 to ask about the week- day tours for groups, lecture and slide presentations available to community organizations, the Showcase program, which goes to the schools, and the Study Guide which contains a wealth of information on 18th century living. Special dates coming up are "Sheep To Shawl" when sheep will be shorn, wool will be spun and woven into a shawl, in one day on April 30 and next Oc- tober the two-day Fall Festival with a number of craft demonstrations. Special events for children will be available at both events.

Genealogical Society The Genealogical Society of the West Fields (so named to preserve, the original name of the town) is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 1989. It was founded, and continues, under the sponsorship of the Westfield Memorial Library, by^a handful of geneaology buffs who have seen its membership grow well beyond one hundred. Meetings are held in the Program Room of the new library (except July and August) on the second Thursday afternoon of the month, except for two scheduled for Saturday mornings to accom- modate members and friends unable to attend on weekdays. The Society welcomes new members whether they are novices in family history research or have expertise. Objectives of the GSWF are to encourage preservation of old records, both family and public; to copy and publish these for the benefit of researchers: and to enhance the "know-how" of those seeking their family history. A major project is the copying of data hidden in local repositories and of old tombstones. The records of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the First United Methodist Church the First Congregational Church and The Presbyterian Church in Westfield have been copied, indexed, and made available in the Local History Room, as have the grave markers in the old part of Fairview Cemetery. Other Westfield church records are in the works. Many periodicals and published volumes of family history have been donated by the Society to the shelves. From 1 to 4 p.m. every weekday, a GSWF volunteer is in the Local History Room read to assist researchers. Members of the Westfield Fife and Drum Corps inarch down Mountain The Society newsletter, "Gleanings from the West Fields," announces Avenue, past the historic Presbylerian Church and the Revolutionary War future programs, reports news on the family history front, publishes free cemetery during one of many holiday parades. queries, and prints 19th century records which have never before appeared in print.

In 1971 the Society purchased the Miller-Cory House which has been designated an historical site and is a liv- ing museum. Alter several moves, the Archives of the Society are now hous- ed in Tamaques School in an increasingly popular museum which is visited by many people including classes of school children and is available not only for tours but also for research. Meetings of the Historical Society feature programs devoted to various aspects of historical interest, including everyday life, military, industrial, architectural and other topics. The Society sponsors two field trips each year to places nearby such as Elizabeth and to others farther away - Cape May, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the latter on the occasion of the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. One of the goals of the Historical Society is the preservation of historical buildings, monuments and statues, and it has been instrumental in further- ing the listing of appropriate properties on the registers, both state and na- tional, of historic sites.

The plan for subdivision shows the size of the property to be subdivided, the proposed new lot lines and the number of lots to be created. If more than five new lots are to be created, then further approvals must be given for the construction of public improvements, roads, sewers, curbs, storm water controls etc. Crea- tion of more than five new building lots is called a major subdivision, and every property owner within 200 feet of the subdivision must be given notice Westfield of this proposed subdivision so they have the opportunity to attend public hearings and voice whatever concerns they may have. A site plan for the development in the business and professional districts must show proposed and existing buildings, floor plans, parking lot design, traffic patterns, land- is Hungry Banker scaping and also details of proposed draining and detention to handle any in- creased runoff this development may create.

New residents are attracted to Westfield by its good tax structure, ex- cellent school system, friendly merchants and wide variety of shops, close availability of mass transit, and general charm of colonial appearance and tree-lined suburbia throughout the town. Considered by many to be a bedroom community, Westfield is actually a superior home town to which many young people return after college or when they wish to raise their own family in a familiar surrounding offering a well-rounded family-oriented base.They have much to choose from in their active pursuit of public interest in schools, government, Little League, recreation and cultural programs, churches and town organizations. Fine homes are available in a wide range of prices, with the average 1988 price of a home in Westfield at $278,000. The local real estate market is active due to a rapid change-over of ownership led by corporate transfers and pro- motions. Many executives of leading domestic, international or government firms consider Westfield their home base. The Westfield Board of Realtors, incorporated in 1923, has as its jurisdic- tional territory the towns of Westfield, Fanwood, Garwood, Cranford, Mountainside and Scotch Plains. The Board is a member of the New Jersey Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors, the largest trade association in the United States, The Board commits its members to a strict code of ethics in all relations between cooperating brokers and the public. Westfield Board members have long been active in the community and earned honors for the Board through individual or united efforts in such proj- ects as canned food drives for the needy and the establishment of the 'Bobby Fund' to help a terminally ill child. Many Board members serve the town on school and planning boards, the "Y", government positions and also as members or directors of almost every charitable or service or youth organization. Comprised of 110 offices, totaling more than 1,100 Realtor and Realtor- Associate members, the Board serves many areas other than those in its primary jurisdiction. The Board Multiple Listing Service, instituted in 1949, has a high ratio of sales to listings based on state and national averages. A significant percentage of the members annually qualify for the New Jersey Association of Realtors Million Dollar Club in its three levels of achieve- ment. Having enjoyed a high volume real estate market in 198B, the Westfield Board of Realtors predicts an active 1989 due to the stabilizing of prices and Dean Johnson, president 0/ the West/ield Board 0/ Realtors large inventory from which buyers may choose.

The first aiders are assisted by other volunteers who answer the emergency phones and dispatch the duty crews in the three well-equipped ambulances maintained by the Squad. The Squad provides non-emergency transportation to and from the hospital for non-ambulatory patients. This service must be arranged in ad- vance and must be requested by a physician. Long distance transportation can also be arranged through the New Jersey State First Aid Council. In addition to emergency and non-emergency transportation, the Rescue Squad also offers: 1) CPR and advanced First Aid courses, 2) group tours of the Squad facilities, 3) speakers to address groups on the operation of the Rescue Squad and how to handle common emergencies. The Westfield Volunteer Rescue Squad is considered a "resident" Squad - one of the very few in the state. This means the Squad members remain in the building when on duty, thereby reducing the response time to an emergency by as much as ten minutes. The Westfield Volunteer Rescue Squad serves tlit? community 24 hours o day. An average of 64 emergencies or transportations are handled by the Westfield Volunteer Rescue Squad each day - 365 days a year - at no Emergency Transportations charge to any patient.

The newest addition to Overlook's specialty services is the Antenatal Diagnostic Center (ADC), which officially opened in late October, 1988. The ADC, headed by the hospital's new director of perinatology, provides highly specialized diagnostic procedures for high-risk pregnancies. The ADC services include the following: fetal non-stress test; biophysical profile; umbilical artery Doppler flow studies; percutaneous umbilical samplings, targeted (level 2} high-resolution ultrasound; genetic am- niocentesis; genetic counseling; and, soon to be included, chorionic villus sampling. The Antenatal Diagnostic Center functions as an independent outpatient unit for expectant mothers considered or suspected to be at high-risk by their obstetricians. Another service initated for special-needs pregnancies is the "Over-35" pregnancy sessions cover the special health and emotional support needs of first-time, over-35 pregnant women and their spouses. Patient diagnostic services have recently been enhanced by the comple- tion of Overlook's Magnetic Resonance Imaging Unit (MRI), one of eight hospital-based MRIs in the state. Since the unit's opening in mid-1988, over 600 patients have been aided by the MRI's sophisticated diagnostic capabilities.

Park- ing facilities were also expanded and the entire campus-like setting has been freshly landscaped. The addition of the East Wing allowed for the expansion of the radiology department, laboratory and financial resources center as well as the con- struction of an all-new data processing center. The four story West Wing pro- vides completely new facilities for the Pharmacy, Central Sterile Supply, an extensive Rehabilitation Department, the Medical and Coronary Care Units and the state-of-the-art Joseph S. Mark Surgical Suite, which includes the recovery room and same day surgery services. Low risk patients find the same day surgery unit particularly convenient as they are able to have their surgery and leave the hospital all in a single day. Procedures performed on this basis include hernia repair, tonsilectomy, some reconstructive pro- cedures, cataract surgery, blood transfusion, podiatric and dental pro- cedures. The intensive and coronary care units provide a unique setting for the critically ill and their families, Each patient is provided with a private room and semi-private bathroom and is constantly monitored using an advanced computerized network, Ambulatory services were also expanded as a result of the construction of the West Wing. These services will enable the hospital to triage emergency cases as to the severity of the illness or injury.

Chamber of Commerce For more than 40 years, the Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce has served both the community and its members through the volunteer efforts of local business and professional people. The business of the Westfield Area Chamber of Commerce is to maintain and improve the climate in which local businesses can prosper. Currently, the Chamber is focusing on town parking, town beautification, and on increasing its membership and in- fluence. The work of the Chamber is accomplished through standing committees. With a sense of urgency, the Chamber Parking Committee, in continuous dialogue with Town Government, is seeking additional parking in the central business district. Similarly, the Chamber Beautification Committee is presenting the business community's request for improved individual and municipal attention to cleanliness in all Westfield business districts. Some Westfield area merchants participate through monthly dues in the Chamber's retail division known as W.A.M., which promotes retailers by direct mail and print advertising. Throughout the year, the Chamber sponsors "Business After Hours" gatherings for members and their guests. These bi-monthly evening mixers provide opportunities for business people from different fields to discuss business-related issues in a social setting. A brief program on a timely topic is featured at each of these meetings. On an informal basis, Chamber members meet for breakfast Tuesday mornings at 8 a.m., at The Westfield Strollers met local businesses and non-profit organizations during the Diner to remain up to date on current issues. festivities of Westfield Village Mall Day, sponsored by the Westfield Area The Chamber disseminates business-related information in newsletters, Chamber of Commerce in September.
