1934: EWING TOWNSHIP'S MEN IN BLUE: EWING'S FINEST

Here is a photo of the Ewing Police force as it was in 1934. The large area to be covered was best suited for the auto, but I assume the expense led the town fathers to opt for motorcycles. You are looking at the front of the original Ewing Police Station.

Veteran Ewingites and indeed veteran Mercer County area residents will recall the regime of Ewing police chiefs Cal Steepy and Bill Forst.

1932: A BOMBING IN EWING TOWNSHIP

This graphic has been revised, adding the
prison sentence meted out to the bombers.

1934" Ewing Police

Here's a photo showing 4 of Ewing Township's 5 man police force! Photos such as these are what makes historical research so interesting. If there is a Ewing Township viewer of this post who can tell me where this photo took place, and if that is the original Ewing Police station, I would like to add that info to this historic Times photo.
