YOUNG MEN'S PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE STAGE GRAND ANNUAL RALLY Presidents In Reminiscent Mood — Unique Contest : Roy E. Darby and ' W. F. Gardiner Prove Expert City Boosters — Doc' Hughes After More Chalk

Thorn ley Hughes assumed supervision w ! j of affairs, the meeting proceeded with, j vim, accompanied by the very essence! ti . of good fellowship. As a Master of ei , | Ceremonies, the genial Pharmacist has tl j no superior. His spontaneous humor, is and quick repartee found instant applause. 'rfe succeeded, moreover, in , (j infecting the entire assembly with his j,. spirit to the degree, that the event w will_be long remembered, by all who;,.j ' iciftnpated. it Laughter and Ming echoed the room. n with all there was underlying a seri- tl ! ousncss of purpose and aspiration,: which indicated the value of the ' league and of its influence in the life j h' • of the community. The program began with an unique!*! . competition. The company present i • were all given a sheet of paper, upon ' which they were asked to write the ' I numbers 1 to 25. Following this a,''1 . series of lantern views of Ocean City a ; i thrown upon the screen, and the audience requested to identify the seupon their papers. W. F. Gardiner and F. Leroy Howe ^ were named judges of the contest. In the final result, Roy E. Darby was j ' declared the winner of the first prize, with 24 correct out of 25. W. F. Gar- ^ - iliner won the second prize with 22 r! correct out of the 25; and to Hiram Chectwood was given the hooby " i prize, for- his 6 correct answers. A gallery of portraits then flashed ^ the screen, the Past Presidents:^ of the League. In several instances I ^ ' the exhibitor hail secured two pictures | ' of the individual; one showing him a>||, CITY COMMISSIONERS 1 MEET, NEW EIJUIP- : MENT FOR FIRE ; Considerable time and consideration j p : was devoted by the City Commission- « i crs, at their regular meeting on Mon- b day at the City Hall ,to the numerous |jt bids tendered for improved and addi- : \ tional apparatus for the fire depart- 1 u ment. R In the very near future Ocean City ! jl may rest assured that its fire equip- tl I ment will be equal to any emergency = and as modern and efficient as that of , any municipality of its size. This will meet with universal approval, the Commissioners may lie assured, for the very essence of good •'government centers in having the most complete and approved engines ! and other necessities for minimizing the dangers arising through fire. After due consideration, upon the . report of the City Engineer, the bid : : tendered by the Hamilton Rubber , ; Manufacturing Comeajtf for supply- ' ing a new fire hose accord true to | ! specifications, was accepted. | Bids for supplying a new spring- • j ling and flushing tank were opened, ^ land referred to the City Engineer for j 1 tabulation, to be decided upon at the In secontance with instructions 1 = given at the last meeting, the. City jj Engineer reported in detail coneem- ' ing the bulkheads situated on the sec- : jtion "between Twelfth and Sixteenth • I street;. It was- decided .that the propi* er offiriala should immediately notify!,

at present, the othor as he was when " ; chHd. . s Great Caesar! How men change a I with age! #here did brother Howe lose r ! the rounded adipose he sported as an f ; infant? Where have gone those chub- " | by cheeks? Who could have imagined Roy E. Darby would have lost so c completely the angelic expression he v ' as a child. Time ileals harshly n with 'some folk. t After the exhibition of his portrdit, f| respective Past President was call- a | ed upon for a brief speech, detailing | outstanding feature of his admin- Ii istration. Roy E- Darby recalled with pleasure c the Hallowe'en Carnival which orig- f during his term of office. -From what we have heard, the benefits dei rived from the Carnival, diverting as . it does the minds of th» .boys; from I harmful pursuits, his pride in movement is more than justified. 7 F. Leroy Howe, spoke in terms of 1 I high praise of the generous response u had received from the members " i of the League, towards the $5,000 ad- : vertising campaign initiated by the Chamber of Commerce. Every day ' brought in his mail various pledges, " to the extent he anticipated the ' pleasure of reporting to the Chamber goodly sum from the league. v Hiram S. Mowrer received a flatter- ^ ing reception, the audience singing. | "He's a Friend of Mine." No better { indication of the sincere regard, with , which Mr. Mowrer is held by his y fellow Leaguers, could have been given. ' It was the quintessence of genuine admiration and affection. Mr. 1 Mowrer recalled that during his ad- v ministration the automobile bridge '' buiK, towards which the league subscribed $500. It was then their 1 understanding the bridge would be 1 i free. He anticipated, however, the ' j time was not far distance before their, ' ; hopes would be realized. Dr. J. Thomley Hughes was loving- : ly greeted with the classic song, "Out u

of the Window." Wo have a shrewd , suspicion, however, that there was not ' a man present who would not have ' risked his Jife to prevent such a mis- j overtaking the genial Masterl B. F. Smith's administration oc- ! chrred during the period Of the great! war. He recounted in detail the yoe- ■ service the League "did during! that tragic period, and during thei floating of the Liberty Loans. It was j thoughtful speech, vibrating with i pride for the splendid part the League played in defense of our country. The presiding officer then called upon P. J. Evans, editor of the Ocean Sentinel for a.i address. The speaker with his inexhaustable fund of humor, jest and anecdote kept the audience roaring with iaughter. , Choosing for his spbjoct, "Ideal jJItl- j xenship," he outlined in brief a few ! types of citizens whom he considered ] j undesirable. Most amusing were the ! naii'.i^ with which he labeled the un- , desirables. The Rooster citizen was j the man on the fence, whose only as- 1 set was the noise he made. The man the fence does nothing, but damn , and criticize those who do something. ' Invariably too, the man on the fence an incurable pessimist. "I would rather," said the speaker, "be hated i by all the world than hate the world, j ; would rather have a million friends { than a million dollars, for at the least they should be worth a dollar each at j Another undesirable was the Pyrotechnic citizen, the man of fire- ; works, who fiarcd up quickly and as quickly burned out In conclusion, with dramatic effect, the speaker related an incident which took place during the great war, ilthe fact that the men who make history are the men most re- ' sponsive to the call of duty. The program reflected infinite credit the committee in charge.

Director Corson submitted a resolution calling. the attention of the Com- < missioners to the damage wrought Ly : storms to certain specified street". Inasmuch as this emergency hail arisen I ' since the appropriation for such purposes for the year 1922 was maile, it decided to secure a loan of $3,000 promissory notes at 6 per cent , I interest to meet the exigency. By resolution Ordinance 190 was ' taken up and read for the' first time. * the second time and approved, 1 it was decided it should come up for ' I the third and final reading April 17th.
