Commerce Chamber Welcomes President E. M. Sutton Home From Florida With Banquet J0lIN (. MARSCHER. REPRESENTING NEW YORK TRIBI'NK i KKinYl MENDS WIDER PUBLICITY IN -METROPOLIS. T. K. HEBREW, PHILADELPHIA RECORD, AND MR. POLLARD OK THE LEDGER. ALSO SPEAK CITY SLOGAN: 'ACTION AND CO-OPERATION' CHAMBER PLEDGES UNDIVIDED SUPPORT TO BOOSTER 1 BANQUET. WILL ALSO RAISE FUND FOR CITY j ADVERTISING

In pel fret accord with the gist of j 1 President K. M. Sutton's able ail- : 1 dies-'. delivered before the members of the Chamber of Commerce, Ocean City has ailoptcil a hew- slo- [ gan: "Action ami Co-opera tion." The mooting of the Chamber a*- , sunie-! the form of a reception anil;, banquet lo President Sutton, upon., bis return home, after a sojourn of, several w eeks in Florida. If any doubt lingers in the tpiml • of Mr. Sutton, concerning the value i of I he service be Is rendering the , community, as president of the Chamlier of Commerce, It should , exist r" longer after the perferved i , spcecln s delivered by his friends , ami collet gus, at the Biscayne Ho- , tel Tuesday evening. The several speakers did not in i the remotest degree exaggerate the J truth, when they stated that the ( meetings of the Chamber had prov- 1 j ed Iamatably apathetic ami commonplace during his absence. ' President Sutton made it very ( evident in his opening address he I had not been an unobservant visi- 1 tor to Florida. To the contrary it j ' became plain he had made an ex- | haustive study of conditions pre- i vailing in those resorts ami hail re- • turned with the determination that ' Ocean City should profit from his,] observations. Comparing Ocean City with Miami, Mr. Sutton deplored the facts j that Ocean City lacked the harm- i ony prevailing among all classes in | the latter city. j The natural mlvuntages of Miami j diil not compare with those of

f Ocean City. Its climate was not as 1 1 . | equable, it had nothing of our rail- I I roads and transportation facilities; it had not Oceap City's pure water i ' supply for domestic purposes; it ' was not located as Ocean City Is in the center of the most congested | section, of the continent, within j easy access to any point, Not- i ' withstanding it hail prospered and i expanded far beyond the wildest dreams. Land located twenty miles j I . from the city, was selling at a pre- I ! mium ami regarded as part of Mi-; - ami. j ' s The secret of its phenomenal sue- j ' '•cess, Mr. Sutton attributed to the;" ■j enterprise of the people, to their j® 5 foresight and above all to the har- j ~ I and the co-operative spirit j governing every section of the com- 1 1 I I munity. The people were to a man 1 1 , for Miami. They had learned to j <| [ I "oost rather than knock. The news- 1 - were never found destruct- ; - 1 criticizing the administration. ! ' In this Ocean City had been re- c miss in past years and Mr. Sutton !* expresseil the hope that in future, s the people of the eity would lend 1 ! their undivided support to every ; . movement, for the advancement of [ c . the community. la Co-operation and harmony there- ! 0 ' fore became the keynote of all the j • speeches which followed, by Mayor; . Joseph G. Champion, Dr. Allen e , Corson, Clayton Haines Brick, Hir-'e am S. Mow-rer, Harry Headley and ! j, ' i others. Mayor Champion, while agreeing j with Mr. Sutton upon the necessity ; r of closer co-operation, took occas- o ' to remark that the administra- 1 1 ■ tion hail never received better sup- „ i port from the iwMej*rs, from [ civic organizations, churches, ami the general public, than it had dur- t 1 the pe-* year or so.

Sharp's f lecture was a very able review of , world problems. A rapid eloquent j ■ pcaker, within the space of an , • iiour, he suceeded in presenting be- • his audience a very eompre- ( , | hensive analysis of tha turmoils r ;and confusions sweeping all over the nations of the earth, ending ( : discourse, with a fair and log- j . statement, of America's rela- ( tion* to other nations, and her du- ( . and obligations in the sphere of , , international polities. if , "Where is the world at?" was! .'the topic of Dr. Sharp's address. t The great world war, said the;- - .-[leaker, hail made very clear,:] [ that no nation could remain insu- ; , . and apart from the problems . • that were confronting other na- > tkms. Pride in learning, education and t culture had proved a vain dream. . Neither culture nor diplomacy had ( . able to prevent the bloodiest . • of history. Dr. Sharp saw- in the possible . ' unification of the Yellow Races, a f danger that might end disastrious- . [ ly to civilization.

The Benedictus, by King Hall, ia by a charmingly conceived musical setting to the CommunService by Mark Andrews.
