It is by "<> niea'is an exaggeralion to say that the five hundred Ocean City boosters, who met around the banquetting table in the Manufacturer's Club, PKiladclphia, on Tuesday evening, literally astounded that city with their enI thujiasm for, and pride in, their J home town. j that Ocean City holds an honored place in the esteem and affections of the people of Philadelphia was made very evident. It reflected itself in the faces of the crowds lining the route of the | parade and in the courtesy of thej police officers, who obviously were | obeying the instructions of the city Lou by the Hummel's Band, nndj the Bugle and Drum Corps of the j L Russell Henry Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the delegation par-j aded the main thoroughfares from the ilepot to the Manufacturer's | Club, and everywhere met with a most cordial reception. The spacious dining hall of the Manufacturer's Club presented an animated scene, with five hundred cnthusisats out to thoroughly enjoy themselves, gathered around the gaily decorated tables, all adorned with a Glengarry, tooting toy horns and wielding rattles and dappers in time with the orchestra's lively measurer. The tables rioted with floral tributes and made a picturesque background for the guests who came clothed in conventional evening dress. An elaborate and varied menu was served in the order: Fruit Cocktail Eckiics ol Uot Home Tom.lura Grim Olivet K» dl.hr. Nuta MM Kennebec Salmon.

Occassional!}-, too, the humor asf j sumed a quaintly ironic flavor, esj pecially as Mr. Edwards recited of ! " j Ocean City's expectations and de- 1 8 fcrred, but not abandon hopes, a j from the railroad companies. W. E. Massey undertook to in- ( troduce the toastmaster to the as- . j scmbled guests. As chairman of ' the general committee, the burden j of arranging the thousand and one details in connection with the banIquet fell upon his shoulders, and y to liim is due infinite credit and | ' praise, for the unqualified success ^ which attended the occasion. ( Mr. Massey could not therefore , r refrain from voicing again and j again, the pleasure it gave him to witness the presenc eof so large and representative a gathering of 11 the city's friends. He expressed | himself proud of the spirit which seemed -to animate thc entire company and ventured ^to predict that ' tho- t^me' vrna-ifiot fa£_ distant when * Otcan City would be known . throughout the length and breadth of the continent, what it claimed to lie, "America's greatest family re- * sort." No resort on the coast possessed I * equal natural advantages, no re- ; sort in the country had so unique ' ami enviable history in the past. 1 He felt certain that as long as i * Ocean -City stood firm by the tra- < y ditions of tile past, its future was - assured.

Clerk of the BoariC at the rate of . $80.00 a month. I have no criticism of the new | clerk. Mr. Haffert, only the highest praise and regards, but I certainly do object to the unending gouging ( of the taxpayers by the present Board of Freeholders, or more pro- J perly thc Director of the Board, > Mr. Champion. $960 a year for an assistant } . clerk, $2000 more for a bridge sup- « ervisor, $500 fe<hi»yauto and $500 i more for its upkeep and expense; [ heaven's knows how much more } thc personal bodyguard, and J now they want an assistant to the i , superintendent of bridges. c Meanwhile Mr. Foster, an effi- ; cicnt and capable member of the ( finds time heavy on his J and is prevented from doing [ work which might do away j with qne of Joe's henchmen. i It is reported that the present ; Director claimed he would build a 1 personal, political organization i which could not be beat. , Yes, Mr. Taxpayer, you are pay- • ing the bill.

A city entertaining annually ten i | millions of visitors could afford to ( 1 1 assume an attitude of arrogant | i aloofness. Instead, however, the i [very closest of friendship exists, ( and the "World's Playground" i '• | looks with keen appreciation upon i j the rise and progress of America's | Greatest Family Resort. | j The Hon.

The spirit displayed at ( _ the banquet, he said, and the rec- , _ j ord of civic enterprise behind the j I I local club, although just one year < f j old, made him feci that thc or- | | ganization he represented had uc- , : compiish(^lv a monumental work , , when it founded a branch' of the , ■organization in Ocean City, i Tne President of thc Philadel- i I( pliia Kiwanis Club, Noah Swaync, | ialso addressed the assembly, and , j extended a hearty and cordial wel- , (come, on behalf of the body he , i j represented, to the visitors. | Incidentally it became known | j that the Philadelphia Club had ( volunteered to furnish a band for • j thc parade, had one been required. - Dr. Minot B.

Wright, General Traf- ■ fic Manager of the Pennsylvania • Railroad Company, reminded his hearers of thc new bridge train, I direct from Ocean City to Phila- > ilelphia which his company had I this year put into effect and what I- such a convenience would mean to 1 the resort. If nothing more, this department > only went to prove that the rail- ; road companies were prepared at all times to co-operate with the 1 communities they serve totheir mutual advantage. ' The way to get improved trans- ' portation facilities is to help the : railroad in their endeavor to serve the public. • Charles H. Ewing, Vice PresiI dent df thc Reading Railroad Com- ' provoked great laughter ■ when he stated he hail matle one r Ocean City. Had he purchased , tracts of land in the resort " when the opportunity came to him 1 years ago (today he would be cn- ! ormously wealthy. The railroads of the entire con- ' tinent, said Mr. Ewing, had en- • tens dupon a vast program of im- ' proved service. Ocean City would ' receive due share of this program 1 and be given fullest consideration. Incidentally Mr. Ewing pleaded 1 for greater moral support from ' the 'public at large. I During the past year ttle^vari- ' ous railroads had suffered much~?tt. J the hands of the politicians and legislators. Fully one hundred and 1 thirty bills of a instructive char- ' ! acter had been introduced, while at the same time, during the period ' of the war, it was proved con- | clusively that . governmental control ami operation of the railroads ' utterly impracticable. The public could materially help the railroads by creating public sentiment favorable to them, and I in return receive greater anil betThc Reading Railroad, said Mr. Ewing, was buiiifing two new ferry boats, one of which would be named Ocean City.

OCEAN CITY NIGHT ; AT NJ. CHURCH , FIVE REPRESENTATIVE CITI- ; ZENS WILL ADDRESS AUDIENCE AT SERVICE Dr. John Handle)- has made arrangements to observe an Ocean City night at the First M. E.

The topic of the addresses will i upon ways, means and methI ods of beautifying and bettering | City. Discussed in such * manner from five different angles ! of thought, the outcome of the ser- : vice should be of untold value to 1 the community. At the morning service I)r. Han- : diey will take as his subject "The Great Program of the Christian i Church." Dr. Handley believes in a bread ' and comprehensive mission for the 1 church, affecting for good every ■ department of human life and en- ' ileavor.

r DR. ALLEN CORSON, MAYOR J.! G. CHAMPION, PROF. STEV- I ENS ADDRESS COMPANY j ' While obviously it was preferred that visitors should be given | ' precedence at the banquet, the pro- [ I gram would have been sadly in- 1 t complete had no local residents been given an opportunity to wax somewhat eloquent and enthuse ^ over the many natural and recreational advantages thc city has to ' offer thc visitor, i Mayor Joseph G. Champion emphasized lite fact that Ocean City , as n family resort. It aspired to be nothing more and nothing less, | than a place of recreation and va- [ cation where a man might bflng" his family with perfect assurance of safety. The home was thc citadel of strength in the life of every na- [ tion, and the protection of the home had been the objective in [ | Ocean City since its foundation. 1 t Thc preservation of the Ameri- , can Sunday is another feature . which the city had ever borne in mind. The administration, said . the mayor, had not always found . it easy to preserve the traditions unimpaired. Men had come into I thc city who were prepared to tear , down the building of years, and thc city's fair reputation merely j for the sake of a few dollars. Ocean , City had no welcome for such persons. They welcomed the investor and were giad to assist him in , every conceivable way, but he was I welcomed only as long as he was j prepared to conduct his business in n manner consistant with the char- , acter of the dty. I The man who desired greater liberties had better go and seek elsewhere. In conclusion the mayj or made on appeal for greater sympathy and co-operation with the administration in its efforts to ' retain and preserve the traditional i policies and prindples of the dty. Prof. James M. Stevens beamed and expanded visibly with pride as he told the company of the pro- " visions being made for the educav tion of the children ol the resort. Ground would be cut /or a school mid educational plant to the J value of $500,000, to be located in one of the most delightful sections s ; of the city. Other cities might a have larger schools, but none would " have a better on the coast. Dr. Alien Corson followed the gifted educator in a "speech renin rkabie for enthusiasm. He gave a wonderful inventory I of the natural and recreational faeilities of the dty, fitting it above most others, as an ideal vacation center, for the cIhss of people it - desired. Dr. Corson detailed exhaustively the phenonemal developments, - which had taken place during the i year covering the island from one I. point to the other extreme. f CITY OF OCKAN CITY. N.

I_ j Both proved themselves ideal afj ter-dinner speakers.

A fluent speaker, rather a whirlwind of oratory, with a quaint turn of phrase, and a remarkable gift for telling an anecdote, Judge Wells captivated his hearers from s thc opening remark. r Notwithstanding the riot of wit - which fell from his lips, the learne etl jurist, proved himself a keen student of human nature, and one ,f who hai (.profited much by his wide and varied experience in dealing e with men. n | Never did a company of men to a more impressive and j. impassioned brief for higher ideals c of life and service. Success in any n department of endeavor was de,1 sirablc, he said, but of infinitely j greater value was the efforts put lR forth in striving for success' that 0 the entl in itself, r Judge Wells struck a responsive d note in the hearts of his hearers, y when he said, that what America n needed today above all things was ■- a revival of the old fashioned reir Ugion.
