Communty Canvass
For Other Donors
Starts October 24
The business-industry end
of the streamlined Derry
Township Welfare Fund-Unit-ed
Fund campaign was coming
to a close at the end of this
week at the Hershey Choco-late
Corporation, among the
various branches of the Her-shey
Estates and in a number
of other firms in the area. Al-so
participating were the
faculties and employees of the
Milton Hershey School and
Derry T ownship public
schools.
The in-plant fund-raising
through payroll deductions
was planned by the Derry
Township Welfare Board in an
effort to solve the problem of
multiple drives in the com-munity
for health and welfare
agencies. The campaign is
conducted in collaboration
with the Tr -County United
Fund.
It was announced this
week that a follow-up cam-paign
of home solicitation
will be held here during the
week of October 24. The
community-wide canv ass,
originally scheduled for the
week of October 17 but de-layed
one week, is intended
to reach those persons not
covered by the in-plant
campaign.
The Derry Township cam-paign
is headed by Col. H. A.
Vernet, Jr., with Melvin H.
Garner as assistant chairman.
William E. C. Dearden, Jr., is
Lower Dauphin chairman of
the Tr -County United Fund
effort.
Cooperating in the in-plant,
payroll deduction campaign
this week were Hershey Es-tates,
Hershey Chocolate Cor-poration,
Milton Hershey
School, M. L. Haldeman and

ANYONE LEARNING TO SKATE—or who has fallen
on an icy pavement—will be hard put to believe that there
is any other kind of ice except hard. But Harry "Petey"
Deaven (photo above), an engineer for the Hershey Sports
Arena and Hershey Estates cold storage, makes both kinds
—hard and "soft" ice.
He explains that for the fast and rugged action
of the hockey teams in the Arena, the requirement is
hard,fast ice. Performers in the ice shows, however,
call for a "softer" texture in the skating surface for
their intricate dance and acrobatic numbers. Little dif-ference
is noted from a physical standpoint, Deaven
says. A fall on soft ice is not guaranteed to have a
cushioning effect.
Deaven, who with Ashley "Pat" Badger, makes the
Arena ice and keeps the cold storage vaults cold, has been
with Hershey some 24 years—first, back in 1915 when he
worked on a Hershey Farm for two years. Then he "went
farming for himself" for a period of time near Grantville
and was one of the many Hershey Chocolate Corporation
milk suppliers.
It was in 1933 that Deaven became the engineer for
the Arena and cold storage plant. A native of the Grant-ville
area, he now resides at 22 Maple Avenue in Hershey.
A son, John, also is a Hershey resident.
Deaven and his co-worker, Badger, are the unseen forces
responsible for "good ice" for the hockey teams and ice
shows. They've got to watch an array of gauges and meters
for maintaining correct temperatures and pressures in the
elaborate ice making machinery. They're the guys who keep
the cold storage cold.
And, at the other extreme, it's well known around the
Arena that they also keep a pot of coffee hot in their small
office down among the maze of pipes.
Chest X-Rays Set For Area
Next week will bring the
opportunity for the people of
t h e community, including
those employed here, to re-ceive

that a mobile X-ray
unit will be in operation
throughout the local area,
starting on Monday. The gen-eral
public is invited and

the service in the interests of
health.
Arrangements have also
been made to take chest
X-rays of the employees of
the Hershey Estates, Hershey
Chocolate Corporation, Milton
Hershey School and a number
of other local businesses.

public, the Tuberculosis and
Health Society's X-ray unit
will be stationed in front of
the Community Building on
Monday from five p.m. until
