Sutton Rave, of conditions prevailing in the city of Miami, the local Chamber of Commerce adopted as its slogan for the year the above caption: "Action and Co-operation." The speech was delivered, jt \*HI lie recalled, at the reception dinner given to its President by the litter hotly upon his return from a brief sojourn in the Sunny South--'. It became very evident that Mr. Sutton -had not been an inotoervant visitor to Florida resorts. His extensive experience in pul>- • lie affairs highly qualified him to make the comparisons, which formed the basis of his spech. While on the one hand the natural advantages of Miami were by no means equal to those of Ocean City, a climate not as equable, in- j -•"Tenor railroads and transportation facilities, far inferior water for ( domestic use and not located as this resort is, in the heart of one of | the most thickly populated sections of the continent, within easy ac- ■ cess to any point; notwithstanding, Miami had prospered, expamled ; and grown, to an extent which in comparison, makes that of Ocean City appear small and insignificant. President Sutton attributed this largely to the splendid harmony , ami unity obtaining, among all classes in the southern resort. Unity I of aim, unity of purpose, and a very highly developed co-operative , spirit, has maiie Miami what it is among resorts of a similar char- • acter. The people were to a man for Miami. The energy dissipated . wantonly in other places in "knocking," the Miami people converted , into "boosting." The administration received the undivided support •of the people. Every movement of public import commamied their ^ allegiance. In other words, if we rightly understood Mr. Sutton, Miami has a shed the last vestiges of "small town spirit" Whereupon it was voted by universal acclamation that "ActAm and Co-operation" should I* ( the motivating principle of Ocean City henceforth. Wisely and astutely President Sutton interjected a word of coun- a ■el to the effect that it was not sufficient to adopt a slogan unless we ( lived and practiced it, notwithstanding the sacrifices to personal sel- , fish interests and pride, it might involve. And we may as well re conrile cursed ves to the fact that it will inculcate some sacrifice and n drastic departure from the paths the dty has trudged along during j.^ the past years. Happily this can be done, without the sacrifice of a , single tradition which we rightly and justly hold precious. What does the new slogan inculcate? ACTION! Ocean City has not been inactive. The achievements of the past year we may justly be pro ad of. The removal of the toll from the automobile L bridge, the building of the Hotel Flanders and the prospective new . high school, are three of the high peaks of attainment. Wherein then have we failed. Primarily in that ail this activity and enterprise, has not been as widely diffused as it should have . been for the benefit of the dty. It has been concentrated in far too " small a circle. Far too few of the dtisens have had any real share;" in bringing into effect what has been accomplished. la other words the vast majority of the dtisens off Ocean City P are bouqd in the vice-grip of dead inertia. The rank and file have not '' yet been properly innoculated with the enthusiasm, the aggressiveness and the vision of the few predominating apirits. |!

f enthusiasm burns at white heat; but we do not shoot as The burden should not be allowed to rest upon the shoulders Whatever benefits may follow in the wake of prosperity i *ment, they will be shared by all in varying degrees, con- [ he task of bringing this prosperity and progress to pass, ! should be shared by all in the same variable degree. CO-OPERATION! Immediately the word is given utterance, the | death-knell of factioniam, diquism, and petty, puerile rivalry is aounded. Is it not possible for us to rise to that standard of thought, In which we shall be able to judge the merits or the* demerits of ai, movement or proposal, apart from the persons who are sponsoring it? Must we forever condemn, unheard or untried- any and every suggestion, if by chance it emanates from some person or persons who are net of our "gang?" Society will ever be made up of an infinite number of circles, revolving around some predominating personality; but this should not give us tbe warrants to assume the circle to which we belong has a ' monopoly of wisdom, and all other circles are swamped in ignorance. Factionism is the bare and curse of every community of a limited population and most baneful of all is it, when that community is . passing through the throes of expansion and growth. Again the co-operative spirit • possesses the power of absorbing into itself and utilising every unit of human intelligence and influence. , which comes within its reach. That is to say, the community in which . the co-operative spirit is highly developed, is pre-eminently sociable. It offers a cordial welcome to every new arrival, soliciting his or her ; assistance and co-operation. Clanishness is alien to its very nature, where the co-perative spirit rules. The story is said of a city in the state of Iowa, which for a period of five or six years, had been contemplating a radical change In the sewage system. The city engineer frankly admitted he could not un- i dertake the task without the assistance and counsel of an expert.. The city lacked the revenue to engage the services of an expert. Ultimately, however, the administration were able to contemplate such a step, and wrote the engineer of one of our metropolitan cities, asking him to suggest to them the name of an expert. To their unbounded surprise, the gentleman whose name was suggested, had been a resident of that little city for a period of four years. He hail lived in. retirement and had been kept at so great a distance by the townspeople, that none knew the value of the services he would have rendered ' the city freely, had they extended to him one (finger, not to speak of the hand of friendship. Now this is peculiarly the genius of the spirit obtaining in the resorts of the west, and the secret of their growth and progress. As a typical example, the city of Glendale, adjoining Los Angeles, might be considered. Glendale claims to 1* "the fastest growing dty in . America." In the tiecade ending with 1920, the population of America increased 20 per cent. Los Angeles increased 100 per cent; Glendale has increased 400 per cent. In the year 1920 the population of Glendale numbered 13.53C. It has now a population of 39,000 people and the dty administration is making provision for its increase to 60,000 within the next year. Twenty years ago Glendale consisted of half a dohen dilapidated

shacks. Today it has one hundred miles of the best paved street-;' and Iwulevatds in the world. Brand boulevard, which traverses the I city from noith to south, is perhaps the widest and best paved ave- , nue in America. Notwithstanding, Glendale possesses no industry and is purelH a residential dty. .. The preface of ;. booklet setting forth the beauties of the citv. contains the following very significant message. "We do net want: 'your money only, we want you. If you have no money with which to *■ buy our laipl and houses, we want you equally as much. We want ' your fricnBship, the value ef your experience; we want your ideas, and" invite your co-operation. If you have no money, stay with us. and make 'some. We invite competition and welcome friendly, constructive criticism. We want you to become so attache. I to us that I . you will never leave." This as we have -aid appeared to lie the governing spirit of the western resort. Not only are they ifliited in absolute devotion to their , own particular city, but they are keenly alert to capitalize and cm- : ^ mandeer every unit of human experience, intelligence and influence f to the same purpose. Action an.! co-operation, or to otherwise paraphrase the slogan co-operative action. This is preseripdvely what we need. There han licen no end of Individual activity, and an enormous amount of brainami brawn diffused into space. What we need is concerted action. ; engulfing all petty rivalries, factionism and time-rntten grievances. I to the larger gain of the community. BOOSTER BANQUET Our last issue contained n request from the Invitation Committee, in connection with the Booster Ranquet. addressed to the citizens of \ " Ocean City. Within the limits of space tit our disposal, we may not I ■ have succeeded in making as clear, anil emphasizing as strongly a- ' • , we desired, the importance of complying with the request, made !•> I 'the aforementioned commitee. 1 The last year had brought a large amount of outside capital into . the city, and n host of people who held no property interests here l>c- ' tore. 1 ' It is therefore highly important that these people should lie ii.- ' ; viteif to attend the banquet. If only as the means of extending to , them the courtesy of conventional friendship, extending to them the i ' amenities of common socialdlity, not a single person should lie over- ' ! looked. ' They should be made to feel that we want them as well as their patronage; that the citizens of the community desire to know them , upon terms of closer intimacy than those of a business transaction' , ' alone. It- is still more highly important that as many as possible of these ' people should he induced to attend the Banquet. It is at the Banquet. ' as perhaps in no other place and way they may learn of our aims and aspirations for the future, what we have accomplished and still hope | ; to accomplish, and of the problems and difficulties still confronting l jus. i As upon the first occasion, doubtless at the forthcoming Banquet. | | a large representation of railroad magnates and officials will be |t«s- j .'ent In view of the effort lieing made to induce the Pennsylvania : Railroad Company tn give the short route line to Philadelphia, it is 1 necessary to bring every influence possible to bear upon them to that 1 end. | It is therefore vitally important that the Banquet should I* us j largely attended as possible, and by representatives from every sec- i lion of the community, particularly those who have within recent clays I Income property owners in this resort. It lies within our power to materially help the members of the invitation committee, by sending to R. W. Edwards the chairman, the : names and addresses of such people at as early a .date as possible. I If "action and co-operation" is to be the slogan of the future, a ' principle of conduct and not merely a word of mouth, here is an opportunity to prove it to excellent advantage. ... jBcasonviuc.

LEGION ENTERTAINS k ; BOY SCOUT TROOP ; ' CLAUDE NICKERSON TELLS SCOUTS OF THE AIMS AND IDEALS OF LEGION B The members of the recently a „ formed troop of Boy Scouts in this j £ city, were on Thursday evening : 0| ' ; royally entertained as the guests 1 1 iff the Morgan-Rauck Post of th 0 ■ American Legion.

Claude Nirkersou, the Post historian delivered an interesting ad1 dress to the boys, in which he gave i a brief resume of the history of the American Legion and its aims and ideals. , He assured the boys of the . hearty support and co-operation 'of the Post in furthering the inter7 osls of the troop and enumerated j various way* in which they in reI, turn could assist the Legion. | t A series of amusing contests I took place into which the boys en-! r to red with enthusiasm. Harry Sut- ! '< ton captured the attendance prize,: while the laurels in the "rag chew,1 , tag" eyntest fell to Charles Ad- , lizxi. After a keen competition, I Richard Suxton was declared the . ' •■pie-eating" champion of the evenL . jnK i- Not to lie outdone in so pleasing h a contest, a "pie-eating" tilt was arranged for the members of the . Legion, which resulted in a dead heat and draw between Earl Sharp and Joseph Mzorinsiri. d ' The evening's entertainment coneluded with a blindfolded boxing ,1 bout which created endless fun. ir Refreshments were served by the; members of the Post.
