Leeds Sounds
Call To Arms
Every Kiwanian Should Be
long To the Chamber
of Commerce
Build Up Pleasantvlle
Says Follow the Example Of
Weaver, James, WOOttOn
Hubin, Zippler and Others

Samuel P. Leeds, prominent
Chamber of Commerce worker and
famousAtlantic City hotelman and
booster, called the men of Pleas
antville to arms Tuesday to get
behind their Chamber OF Com
merce. The call was sounded at
the meeting of the Kiwanis Club
held at the Northfield Country
Club. He spoke Of the objects Of
Kiwanis and also of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Every Kiwanian. by virtue Of
his slogan We Build declared
Mr.. Leeds, Should belong to his
local chamber.
my early visits to Pleasant
vile gave me opportunity to visu-
alize the future of the place, par
ticularly due to the Chamber Of
Commerce activities of John
Weaver, Albert James, Tom Woot-
ton, George Zippler, Frank Hubin
and others.
i"The men of a town make it,
and these and other men of their
association put Pleasantville 'eA
the map and you younger men
are now reaping the benefit Of
their efforts. You should take off
your coats and follow their ex-
ample. Frank Hubin with his
pep never loses a chance to ad-
vertise Pleasantville A fine spirit
to cultivate. No better agency
than 'Kiwanis' to do it collectively
and no better factor than XII
wants to help greater Pleasant
vile in it's forward progress. The
most important part in any civic
uplift work is to know what ought
to be done and then do 1t.
"A town is no different than
the citizens, except the town Is
the peoples business on a large
scale and both must have soul 10
succeed. Every townseman wants
to build up his business. If he is
wise he will study the methods
and ideas by and through which
other businesses have been built.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1926-06-10

Democracy is still upon trial. The
civic genius of our people is its only
bulwark, and neither laws nor monu-
ments, neither battleships, nor pub
lie libraries, nor great newspapers,
nor booming stocks; neither mechani-
cal invention, nor political adroitness,
nor churches, nor universities, nor
civil service examinations can save
US from degeneration if the inner
mystery is lost. That mystery, at
once the secret and the glory of the
English-speaking race, consists in
nothing but two common habits, two
inveterate habits carried into public
life-habits so homely that they lend
themselves to no rhetorical express
sion, yet habits more precious, per-
haps, than any that the human race
has gained. They can never be too
often pointed out or praised. One of
them is the habit of trained and dis
ciplined good temper toward the OPP
posite party when it fairly wins its
innings. The other is that Of fierce
and merciless resentment toward ev-
cry man or set of men who break the
public peace.
