Dr. John Handley Presides Over Chamber of Commerce Meeting Held in City Hall COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO ggAFT RESOLUTIONS EXPRESS. • ISO CONDOLENCE OK CUMMKKt E CHAMBER WITH THE BEREAVED FAMILY OK THE LATE VICE-PRESIDENT

Or. John Handley the very ver pastor i.t "the First Mctho- I .list Episcopal Church in this city, u figured in quite a new unil uncon- :i icntional role, at the meeting of p chamber of Commerce, held [ Tuesday evening in the Commis- i MOiicrs' Chamber* of the City Hall, j Bi. Handley has occupied quite s :: vat ict> of positions in the public i |jf,. the city and on Tuesday evening sal. as to the manner bom, s . r e chair from which Mayor . .'id from which Edward M. 1 Sutton lias successfully guided the f fortunes of the local Chamber of a Prcideiit K. M. Sutton basking « in toe more congenial climate of Mian >• far removeil from the ah- r truse problems of fire-zones and t other rones, and of the colossal a tnrk of educating the State Legis- ( lature up to tiic wisdom of building the bridge over the Harbor r and laying down Route 4, in his ab- t senrc it was tinder* tood that Rus- ( scIIH. Nultv would preside over r th<- meeting of the Chamber. The information was given how-j| ever, that Mr. Nulty had unfoi-jf Ulnatel) been overtaken by sick- 1 < ne.-s conset|uentIy Dr. Handley; was pres.-ed into service to All the; Dr. Handley did excellently; in | 1 fact he did better. For some un- 1 accountable reason, the few members present .were unusually shy, J and retiring. Whether or not they ( feared the Dominie in the chair or t not, cannot be determined; hut few could b(. persuaded to take any active part in the proceedings. ( The resourceful Doctor however . was equal to the occasion. He made or sccomled the motion if necessary, and generously passed the honor over to another. Consequently twenty years hence, a certain young man of the name of - Pearl, will read that his dud moved i certain resolution, which he did not move, and preadventure feel intensely proud of the evidence of his sires keen interest, in matters .of civic importance. In other respects it was decidedly an "off night" for the Chamber of Commerce. The attendance was unusually small, and the customary quality, generally spoken of as 'pep," was very noticeable by; its absence. Dr. John Handley referring to) the minutes of the previous meeting, reminded the memcbers present, that John R. Groves, who was then re-elccted vice-president of!' the Chamber, had passed away.! The chairman felt that some fitt-; ing recognition of the services,! the late Mr. Groves had rendered the body, should lie incorporated! in the minutes. The Chamber, of Commerce had; sent a floral tribute at the time of i death, still he felt that an expression of condolence with the bereaved family, and some sm^ll tribute to the deceased should be recorded. Tiic meeting concurred, and the chair was authorized to appoint a committee to draft out a letter of resolution. Dr. Handley named Jules R. Lcdig, F. Leroy Howe, and Capt. A. C. Town send as the committee. ' Secretjuyjlowe read a letter from the IL-Russeli Henry"" Post Veterans oQFnreign Wars, soliciuiing the assistance of the Chamiier. of Commerce, towards defraying the cost of the new uniforms for the bugle and drum corps. Mr.; Howe volunteered the information' that the matter had been deferred upon two previous occasions. In view of the small attendance! however, it was felt that action; upon the letter should be deferred v again. The mover of the resoluN^tion. carried all in agreement with him when he stated, that sp few a number of the membership could not with any degree of propriety, undertake to make a donation from 'lie general funds. Dr. John Handley desired to '•earn if any action had been taken officially by the Chamber of Commerce, in recognition of the natal anniversaries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Dr. Handley hastened to explain that he did not wish it understood that he meant the Chamber should provide an elal>orate ceremonial. e .

Rather he desired that the Cham- . her, should make some public recognition of Washingtons bidthday, afid suggested that the body should j go on record, recommending a proper observance of the occasion the public sohools, and pledge ' ready to co-operate and assist the superintendent, in any way might desire. The meeting adopted the sug- j gestion unanimously. Elmer Jackson I 'earl enquired if the Secretary had been instructed i communicate with the Hoard of Commissioners, conveying the views of the Chamber of Com-, merce, relative to the passing of a new fire ordinance. Mr. Pearl explained that a committee appointed by the Chamber, drafted out such nn ordinance, and had submitted the same to the i Commissioners. The tentative ordinance extenii- I \cd very materially the present fire- I and incorporated additional ( restrictions, governing areas ' outside of the zone. |l With the agreement of the mem- 1 ' j Ix-rs present the Secretary was in- ' jstructed to communicate with the 1 ' | City' Commissioners, petitioning for "an early passing of the ordinance. ■ I 'pon the motion of Elmer Jnck- ' son Pearl the meeting adjourned to 1 1 meet two weeks from Tuesday .i night. Mr. Pearl awakened considerable ' curiosity, with a hint that upon /the occasion, some matter of cx-; importance would be to the floor. Plans had not matured to the •iegree that tits -mater could be discussed Jjat evening nor would ' it have Been prudent, to have done 5 so with so small an attendance, f The meeting agreed to the ailJ joUrnmenl, and the Secretary was - instructed to notify all members to i the effect, ami urge upon all that f an effort lie made to secure a reprej'sentative gathering.

Un": questionably one of the greatest ; • of American composers, Nevin is 1 1 ! also one of America's ablest ex- j r t ponents, of the new school of musi- i , cal aesthetics, which came into ! t vogue at the beginning of the last j , century. The paper was followed by a . pianoforte duet, plaveil with con- ! , k sunimatc skill, by Mrs. Dorsey , B Anderson, and Mrs. B. Marshall, ]( . the selection cntitieil "Country j ^ Mr-. Williams sang very effec-i. y lively, a charming number entitled, ^ ,1 "A Boating Song," after which ! Mrs. Price rendered on the piano- 1 lt foite two selections entitled "Shep-i c herds All and Maidens Fair" and ' . "The Tournament." Both of these ' a selections served udmirably to! demonstrate Mrs. Price's skill with i, the instrument. Miss lsiuisa T. Corson was ' o heard to great advantage in the - favorite "Oh that we wo were Maying." The character of the ' - song lends itself finely to Miss I ' e Corson's lyric qualities of voice'1 and interpretation. 1 s The delightful program was fit- ® r tingly brought to a close, by a t- pleasing interpretation of "A Vec nclian Love Son" from "A Day in i i- Venice," on the pianoforte by Miss': Francis Smith, s The evening was declared -by all 1 r who attended to lie one of the h most enjoyable and instructive ' ever held by the Club.

I One of the largest hauls of li- I quor was made since the dawn of s- hoot-legging era; at least as far I 10 as this section of the country is • e- concerned. i w Four hundred cases of liquor to . in j the value of $75,000, a Packard . car and an auxiliary cruiser were ; n-'consificated; and fourteen smug- > ill i glers, six of whom were of the k.L.jU,fc.; race, capture! ar.«i held in ■ it) durance vile. e. i The two police officers' to whom . h- credit is due for the' haul are Geo. ae^ Myers and Edward Seaman. Near icj about three o'clock in the morning, I the attention of the officers was ""'attracted by the lights of the boat* ' in the near vicinity of Corson's In- ; i let. Investigation discovered that the boat was moored to the dock. * Assuming the lead Myers boardticlcd the boat, followed immediately by Seaman. With revolvers drawn ls" the officers ordered the men to V . hold up their hands. The rum-smugglers showed fight he and made an attempt to overpower !r" the officers, whereupon officer c" Myers fired two shots at the nearest assailant, one of the bullets grazing his arm. he Finding the offieers meant bu*i811 ness, the smugglers surrendered and were 'aid under arrest.

Jottings From Our Schools W. E. Massey, Jr., Will Coach High School Track Team i _ u PROBABILITY OF BOY SCOUT TROOP BEING ORGANIZED IN ' OCEAN CITY. MALCOM Al STIN TALKS TO STUDENTS. HAS ANYONE SEEN SEAL MONTAGNE? 1 I

1 THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL All the students are elated over the plan of the new High School Supt. Stevens has visit- ; ' cd a number of the class rooms,' in the high school anil showed to; r the students the plans which are laid out. The new school « ill con-; tain foui floors, and about forty- ! three class rooms, a swimming 1 pool and a large gymnasium. • [) WILLIAM E. MASSEY TO COACH H. S. TRACK TEAM A number of the students desire! , to have a track team this spring,! ' and they have been coming o | Physical Director Unger to help' them in thi? effort. Last Thursday | afternoo^, Mr. Unger went and had personal interview with William ^ ; Massey, Jr., and asked him to1. conch the fellows. Mr. Massey said; - that he would be glad to coach the ; ■ fellows if they came out and prac- ' ticed, and meant business. So fel-i • | think it over, which you , j would like to do play tennis, base- » or take up track work. We ' ! • a l umber of boys who are : j gooil iii all three but to be sue- j . ccssful in any one sport, will de- ; , I mand the, most of your spare time ! ; , in that particular sport. We ; ' . should think ourselves very fortu-j' 1 natc in having such a noted track 1 ' athlete in our community, who is 1 ' willing to devote his time and en- 1 ergy to coach us in this work. ! Mr. Massey was one of the great" ^ est hunllers ever developed at ' r Princeton University. During his ( first year he was a member of the ( j Freshman Track team, and during i | the remaining three years at! I Princeton, he was a member of the ' ' regular varsity track squad. In \ ■ •1920, he held the record for the / 120 yard high hurdles in both the i and Junior national • championships. If it hadn't been for ; • Barron of Penn State, the hurdling - y sensation, Mr. Massey would have* won the 70-yard indoor championship. which was held at Buffalo 1 This meet was for the Senior 1 . National A. A. U. championship ~ SCOUTS TROOP TO BE ORGANIZED ' j Thirteen years ago last Friday, : a great movement began in the . United Staes, a movement to make better boys — and thereby bettor ' ^ As we think of the Boy Scout : movement and its accomplishments, we see one outstanding feature. The Boy Scout movement has .■brought son to father and father ''to son. It has fostered a comradeship that did not exist before bc- • tween dad and that lad of his; and ^ who can deny that it has done both a great deal of good? The Boy Scou movement has made manly boys, and it has turn-:; r ed .tired patronizing fathers into _ lively playmates of the younger element. Fathers who get into the 2 Boy Scout movement find it a re- • li.xaion and an opportunity to perg | form a distinct public service. I And the Scout movement is rel_ I cognized as one of the most powerful deterrents of juvenile delinJquency — and that alone makes it I worth all its cost. I, : An effort is on foot to organize ) the Scout movement here in Ocean j ] City: bit if lie fathers faii to got luck of he effort, it will fall r through as it did in the past. e! MALCOLM ANSTED i- VISITS OCEAN CITY U It is seldom that a boy can go " hi' from a junior class in a high sriior.l and into an university. This! e feat was performed by Malcolm ? Austin, son of James Austin, Sup- '• er'ntcndei.l of the local Gas Come puny. Desiring to save a year be0 fore entering college he t'ok the junior year course in our high Y school, and in addition to much tun tiring, he -took the entrance exam•i nation o Columbia University, and iie successfully passed them. lie is now studying law. and expects to n graduate ii the class of 1925. y ; Malcolm Austin is a baritone soil loift in the Columbia Glee Club, «!a member of the gym team, and d ' played regular on the Freshman I e; Football team. He was home last, i- j week for three days, which was t- the holiday period, b- tween the d j first and second semester. While d j he was here he went to Atlanic I City and arranged a date in March

when the Columbia Glee Club will r | come to Atlantic City, and give ,| a conceH. No doubt hut what a - large number from Ocean Ciy will i, i attend. Last Wednesday morning a Malcolm Austin appeared before t the students body in the sAsembly - j Hull and in an address stressed the - necessity of higher education wilh g i definite aims. Stressing the poin of a good high school foundation, he added — "Latin is almost a nonessential when carried too far. Two I years of it, however, are most dc- | mi able and form a wonderful founjilatian for the romance languages, "•and English." j He pointed out that one of the ' greatest failings of studens was ' that they did not know what they ^ want to be before hey enter high school ar. l after college. "Remember," he said "that the college is ^ not the highest we can go. The university anil its graduate and professional schools are waiting for ; us when we leave collage. The high ' j school student should start right inow and finally decide upon what ' he wants to be. In conclusion he advised never to j neglect the romance languages, e : English, Mathematics or Political s Science, for these subjects are most _ i essential. "And by the way," he adI I ded, "we have a very good college f in New York, and would be most glad to welcome any of Ocean | City's promising athletes." t GEORGE BLACK# AN PAYS A CALL s George Blackman a member of j our High School graduating class t last year, now studying dentintry Bjli' Uie Philadelphia IVntal College, i was a visitor in our schools last b ! Friday e He says he is learning a trade I which will enable him to become r a millionaire by living from hand ? to mouth. He says there is a great etfleld for dentistry. In the State of i" Pennsylvania they have auto a trucks, fitted with dentist equipr ment and they travel around from school to school, anil examine the children's mouths. New Jersey is about to fall in this line, also some ) other states are contemplating the , idea.

V BASKET-BALL TEAM ^ WILL NOT ENTER TOURNEY |tj It isnt likely that the High ti School boys basket-ball team will r compete in the University of Pennv svlvania basket-ball tournament, which will begin Feb. 27th. Owing ic to the low financial condition of ;h the treasury and no way to inu- crease it, it -would be up to the ii- boys to pay their own way. Most id of the hoys feel as though they is cannot afford to .k) this. Then too, :o a number of the members being on 'the injured list, the team would >- stand little chance in working their b, way- up to the finals, id rtjo.
