                   HON. MARJORIE MARGOLIES-MEZVINSKY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 16, 1994

  Ms. MARGOLIES-MEZVINSKY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
100th anniversary of the Times Chronicle, an award-winning weekly 
newspaper in Jenkintown, PA.
  The Times Chronicle is a community newspaper in every sense: It has 
been honored by the area police department, as well as numerous other 
organizations, for community service; staff members are active in the 
Jenkintown Rotary and the Eastern Montgomery County Chamber of 
Commerce; and the Times Chronicle Newspapers scholarship contest has 
presented more than $60,000 in scholarship awards to deserving 
Montgomery County high school seniors. Of course, it provides its 
thousands of readers with information about the Nation as a whole, the 
great State of Pennsylvania, beautiful Montgomery County, and their own 
backyards.
  Born from the merger of the Jenkintown Times--first published April 
7, 1894--and the Jenkintown Chronicle--first published March 31, 1894--
the Times Chronicle, then the Times-Chronicle, was first published on 
December 29, 1894. It has won numerous State and national awards, 
including four sweepstakes awards in the Keystone Press/PNPA Contest in 
1959, 1971, 1975, and 1976, making it the most honored weekly newspaper 
in the State during those years. The Times Chronicle was honored 
nationally for its business coverage in 1991 by the Suburban Newspapers 
of America.
  It is my honor and pleasure to recognize the fine efforts of 
president and publisher Arthur W. Howe IV, vice president and executive 
editor Fred D. Behringer, marketing director Elizabeth Hunt Wilson, 
managing editor Warren W. Patton, advertising manager Leslie Franklin 
Hamada, and the entire staff of the Montgomery Newspapers and the Times 
Chronicle for their wonderful work and continued success.
