any misunderstanding between us for
was here when you were born and
you are the biggest surprise of any
baby that I have even seen and in
two months you can talk loud enough
to be heard in Wilmington and for
miles around" In continuing he said,
"you have developed community
spirit here in Newark that was pre-
viously stranger" The speaker said
that this spirit binds the town and
all those that live here and it is a
compliment to the Chamber of Com
merce for the manner in which the
spirit has already been advanced.
The speaker told those present that
as long as they served the community
they were also serving themselves
and said that Newark was just be-
ginning to see the real worth of COM
munity spirit.
Mr.. Marvel said that few of those
present at the dinner would have
dared dream a few years ago of a
Newark as it is today. He added that
there is still a greater Newark to
come if this community spirit con-
tinues to grow.
The speaker of the evening was
Rev. R. w. Trapnell, rector of St.
Andrews P. E. Church, of Whining
ton. He gave the member of the
Chamber of Commerce and others
present some good sound advice and
complimented the local body on it's
workings.
Rev. Trapnell said that Newark
was not slow and that it was an honor
to be present at the first dinner of
the Chamber of Commerce. In con-
tinuing he said that the part this or
ganization can play in this community
outdistances the vision of anyone and
there is no way we can fortell what
this organization can accomplish and
will accomplish if the present spirit
continues to prevail.
'sWe have reached a time in history
of men," said Rev. Trapnell, "when
; it is our place to magnify the things
we have in common and it is the hope
of this community and the whole
world for better things" In continu-
J ing the Wilmington speaker said,
care you hopeful or are you fearful"
! this is an important question and we
must have confidence in the things
that we are to meet in the future, he
: added.
The speaker spoke of the relation
ship of the men of the town and the
university and encouraged this rela-
tionship. He said the University
needs just what the Chamber of Com
merce represents and the Chamber of
Commerce needs just what the Uni
versity can supply.
g Rev. Trapnell said that everyone
, present was concerned with the fu-
Q ture and that all those present could
play in this future depended upon the
spirit that is shown.
The speaker said that there was a
= service to be rendered by all present
and that was to put back into life
joyousness, service and work. He said
!, that it was problem how we are to
= instill this spirit in the work-a-day
- world and how we are going to put
back the realization of service. The
=, speaker said, "The blessing of earth
! is toll" The Chamber of Commerce
;, can help answer this problem, saic
;, Rev. Trapnell.
= "You cannot be both hopeful ant
g fearful at the same time without
g standing absolutely STILL" were words
d of the speaker and he urged the mem
1t bers of the Chamber of Commerce tt
r believe that the future of the organ
d ization is filled with promise.
