Gub this week, former Senator John A.

Mr. Ackley panted out the advantages of Sea Ide. as compared with her neighboring resorts, hot said that to tern thaw ad*-ntagr» to account they must first hr sold to the people themselves— the residents oww restin' the advantages, grasp them and then sell them to the world, and hr said this was the provunr and duty of the Cham her of Commerce There was nothing new in Mr. Ackley's ad drew.

“I hold Chat rvety man owes something besides his taxr? to the community in which he lives. The more he has been favored mentally and materia!!' h_, fortune, the more lie owes. In dhcargr of that debt, he is under obligation to do for the community v«nething that he doe* not get paid for, something that he does not make money by. His obligation to do thi* is not just a once-ni-a-while hltgarton; it is a continuing obligation, and what he does in discharge of it should be limited only by oh abilities and hit oppor-

tunities.

“A true sense of civic rapontibilin spring* from recognition of this obligation. Individual response to it produces the civic leadrrthip that assures continuous, well-ball nerd, symmetrica! development—the development that provides for social and spiritual nerdt. so to speak, as well as for the physical and material needs of a community. "It is to the men of flonstrurtivc vision that we owe the welding of this continent into one homogeneous whole—tin- greatest amongst the modern creations of empire*. It i» to this constructive class that we owe the development of our great communities and our great businesses, and from them you should draw your inspiration for taking your share of civic responsibility and community
