(JTA) — A spec- ial planning committee of the Jew- ish Federation of Camden County has recommended action by the Federation to establish a home for the aged in Camden, one of the few Jewish communities in the 20,000 member category which has no such facilities. The Greenwood Home for the aged in Trenton has been providing four beds for Cam- den area residents. The Trenton Jewish community is planning a new home for the aged and informed the Camden Feder- ation it was willing to add more rooms for Camden elderly Jews to its plans if the Camden Federation would contribute to the added costs.
