Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-10-06

With impressive effect the senior
class OF the high school, headed by
Nelson, one of the members of the
class, as future citizens entered the
Madison hotel where the team work
ers of the reorganization campaign
OF the Chamber of Commerce were
lunching. and challenged those pres
ent to do their best for Perth Am
boy.
Perth Amboy is our home" said
Nelson. as the boys ranged them
selves around the room. 1--WE love
it. We expect to live here in years
to come. II you will agree to work
for Perth Amboy today we will work
for Perth Amboy tomorrow. In
token of this we will repeat our
creed for Perth Amboy."
Thereupon the young men in uni
son repeated the famous oath Of the
youth Of Athens:
I'VE will never bring disgrace on
this our city by any act of dishon-
esty or cowardice..
I'VE will fight for the ideals and
sacred things of the city both alone
and with many.
I'VE will revere and obey the city's
laws and we will do our best to in
cite like reverence and respect in
those above US who are prone to
annul them or set them at naught
We will strive increasingly to quick
en- the public's sense of civic duty
Thus in all these ways we will
transmit this city, not only not less
but greater. better, and more beau
tiful than 1t was transmitted to u.s."
Judge Adrian Lyon, chairman of
the luncheon, in the name of the
citizens of the city. accepted the i'm
pressive challenge of the future
leaders of the city in a few well
! chosen words.
Mr.. Lyon told the future citizens
that their visit will be great in
| spiration to workers in the move
ment and that they brought into
the campaign an element without
which it could not be thorough
| success. The elements of youth
and hope" Mr.. Lyon said. were The
greatest factors in the success of any
movement, and told the boys that
they had not only brought the mes
sage of hope and faith but that they
had learned the lesson of civic obliga-
ton and unselfish service.
The speaker of the meeting was
Hon. Frank Dorsey who, greatly in
favor Of the Chamber OF Commerce
movement, said, that he could not
make his position in regard to this
reorganization any stronger than he
| had already done. The mayor IN
sisted that he could not understand
how any city that amounted to any
thing could exist without a thriving
chamber OF commerce and that this
reorganization was one of the hopes
Of Perth Amboy.
| Speaking of conference of mayors
held in Philadelphia last Monday
which he attended, the mayor said,
that discussing the waterways de-
velopments for which the meeting
was called, the assembled mayors
all agreed that the backing of a
strong chamber of commerce in each
of the interested cities would be the
greatest asset toward getting what
was needed in this project. The
mayor spoke briefly on the situation
of Perth Amboy and expressed q
hope that this reorganization would
be a great success and that this would
lead to a really greater Perth Amboy.
The chairman also called upon one
Of the guests, John J. Quinn, who
spoke briefly upon the possibilities
of this city and expressed the senti-
ment that Perth Amboy, with the
proper civic movements can, in time,
become as great a city as Newark.
