9««EAN (TTY-PLEASANTVILLE FOOT BALL GAME |"yr— For Class Championship -Play by Play as Told By KAl'Tcfa MAN i * Read it on the SPORT PAG E D. OF A. AHENO CHURCH SERVICES: , Heard Excellent Sermon by Dr. Handlcy in Fiqst , M. E. Church i | p j This was the topic of the discorse gi given by the Rev. John llantlley to ' j. | the Daughter- of America, who at- ! j tended the First M. E. Church hi a „ last Sunday evening. Speaking 1 , of the mothers, Dr. Hundley pointed s out the influence thnt the mother of . i Washington had with the father of #our country. He told how Garfield'- ; 4 f mother wo* on the platform with him j ' . when he took -the oath of office as 1 ( President of the United States and in-; I cidented the statement of the mother 1 , of President McKinley that she would i 1 C much rather he -be a bishop in the| 1 Methodist Cliurch than President. ' . The American home is a home of ' g love, religym, individuality, social and . I fraternal. Women of the south would I rather entertain In their own home 1 than in the best hotels of the country. He told of the two tpyes of mothers, i ' one story lieing that of the convict, who was shown a photograph of his ' 0 mother and exclaimed that ff it hann't! . been for his mother's influence he f would never hbve been where he was. j f Her influence had misled him. Tlif ' . other was a story of Editor Riley, of ' r Georgia, who, after years had passed j anil he felt that he had lost his rer ligion, went back to his old home and mother to regain it. ,1 He touched on the boy problem of i- Ocean City and said the need of . mothers was great especially for the c boy* between the liges of ten and fifteen. In closing his sermon. Dr. , Handlev commended the aim of the Order which is Compulsory Education, Separation of Church and State. Ijmc ited Immigration and more efficient ? Americanization. J SOMETHING NEW 1 Possibly the newest thing under the f sun In the form of heating is the1 g Heatrola. which is a hot-air, parlor, y piprioss furnace. There is a Heatrola lt on display in the new showroom of Otis M. Townsend at Eighth ami Haven avenue. In design the Heatrola looks like a phonograph. It works like, ■ a pipeless furnace. ^ Installed in one of the lixdng rooms I it heats three to six connecting rooms } and heats them better than an ordinary stove heats one. It heats more r uniformly ami more economically. The beautiftil mahogany finish of thh i. Heatrola I* a vitreous enamel, hard I and smooth as glass. I The Heatrola answers the heating problem in a dty like Ocean City r where basements are few and far between. No piping, no radiators or no registers are needed. The Heatrola Is ! an engineering achievement.

It is understood that tho usual i time for organization in other cities required from six to seven weeks. The Kiwanis Club idea for Ocean I City originated with the Kiwanis 1 of Atlantic. After the recent ft "1 oldies' Night," given by the Kiwan-; , ' of Atlantic City, Ocean City men i at the affair assembled at the Hotel i j Chalfonte and effected a temporary 1 I organization w ith the Atlantic City | s Club as its sponsor. t Music for yesterday's luncheon was j by the Ocean City orchestra. , The first speaker was William E. ft i Duffy, Field Representative of the Ki- , wanis Club International of the IJis- , ! trict of New Jersey, ftn a typical Ki- j t wanis speech he outlined the princi- ; \ pies of the organization: what it would mean to the members, and what it would nicpn for Ocoai? City. President K. Emelie, of the Kiwanis Club, of Atlantic City, followed with n talk ( : of what the club hail done for him : : and the mcmlicrs of his organization j as well as the entire city of Atlantic . ; City. - Walter Gill, vice president of the \ | Atlantic City organization, and a prominent lawyer in the sister resort, ; in n talk brimming over 'with en- 1 tipisiasm, told of the benefit* derived ' • from tho personal contact of busy, J j xvorth-while men. , The motto of the Kiwanis Club is ' "Wo Build Character, Business In- ' ' tegrity and Loyalty." "The Kiwanis Club," said Mr. Gill, ' ' the greatest club in the country: ' ' just the same as Ocean City is the ; '• ■ most wonderful family resort in the 1 1 world." Elmer Brown, Jr., chairman ' of the Sponsoring Committee from ' Atlantic City, created a good impres- 1 1 sion among his hearers with a short, • snappy talk. A, feature of the luncheon that was i I (thoroughly enjoyed was the communiMtyjdnging I oil by Elmer "Gyp" Blood- . ■ j good, dJm.-ter of the Kiwanis Club j of Atlantic City. He instilled some i ' j of his Yep" into the singer* with the , ' 1 result that Iw-fore he was through he ' j had them singing songs they had never ' before. ' ! Another feature that was a total surprise was the silent booster, a nifty I little hill-fold presented by the Ocean - 1 City Title & Trust Company. The temporary officers of the Ocean - City Kiwanis Club are: president, Wm. r Collisson, Jr.; secretary, Dr. M. B. I I Stan n aril; treasurer, Russell H. Nulty; f directors, A. Randolph Fogg, C.
