AMONG THE PEOPLE „who work at Hershey ,are six men
of the Chocolate Corporation's Longitude Department who
have the patriotic assignment of raising and lowering the
flags which fly over the plant. The two men pictured—An-gelo
Pollini (at left) and Ottavio Pace—have been faithful
members of the flag detail for eighteen years.
It is appropriate to note that these two veterans of
the Longitude Departmen's flag group are Italian-born
American citizens which gives them a special pride in the
regular role in raising the colors of their adopted country.
Pollini resides at 558 West Chocolate Avenue and has been
employed conti.mously by the Hershey Chocolate Corpora-tion
since October 2, 1922. He had previously worked at the
chocolate plant from 1913 to 1921, but in 1921 he returned
briefly to Italy and was re-employed at Hershey the follow-ing
year. Pace, who resides at 604 West Chocolate Avenue,
is a thirty-five-year veteran at the chocolate plant, with his
employment dating from May 20, 1920.
The plant's flags are raised by Pace, Pollini and alter-nate
Roy Wenrich, while the flag lowering detail includes
Lloyd Howard, James Kauffman and alternate Chester
Strine. Longitude Department Supervisor William Wagner
is in charge of the operation.
The chocolate plant flies three flags daily and eleven
on special patriotic occasions.
The Hershey Park golfers
retired the Senator James H.
Duff trophy last week, wrest-ing
the cup from the Warings
team of Harrisburg in the
20th annual Pennsylvania
Public Golfers' Association
tourney over the difficult
Hershey Park course.
Paul and Art Garrison, Jim
Burns and Carmen Raneiro
comprised the quartet of nib-lick
wielders who posted the
lowest aggregate score—a to-tal
of 595. The Hershey Park
golfers also won the trophy in
1952 and 1953.
Paul Garrison, the defend-ing
champion, surrendered
his toga to Gordon Goodson of
Warings; Harrisburg. Good-son
posted a total of 293 for
the 72-hole test, edging Art
Garrison of Hershey by a
single stroke.
Art, incidentally, won the
medal for the third straight
year. His 143 for the 36-hole
qualifying round was two un-der
Goodson's qualifying
score. Garrison held a five-stroke
lead going into the
fourth and final round.

ENVIOUS and sweltering humans have been watching
with amusement as a duck family inhabiting the lawn at
the west end of the chocolate plant takes daily showers
under the sprinklers. Photographer Dave Strickler took
this shot as Mama Duck proudly marched her brood into
the spray. Even as human youngsters will do, apparently
two of her eight ducklings managed to "duck" this bath
as only six are in the procession. The ducklings were
hatched at the beginning of last week and have been
making a big hit with plant employees, townspeople
and visitors.
Traffic Light And New Street Among Town Improvements
Busiest intersection in
town is the corner of Choco-late
and Cocoa Avenues
where workmen have been go-ing
forward with the job of
erecting a traffic light. The
traffic signal was recently
approved by the Pennsyl-vania
Department of High-ways.
In connection with this lat-est
traffic improvement, a
new road is to be constructed
from Chocolate Avenue
northward between the Her-shey
Trust Company building
and the Woman's Club build-ing.
The new thirty-foot-wide
road is designed to handle the
flow of traffic in and out of
the Chocolate Corporation's
parking lot and Shipping De-partment,
thus relieving the
present traffic on Park Av-enue.
A well marked sidewalk
is to be placed alongside the
new roadway.
Still another feature of the
project is the creation of ad-ditional
parking space oppo-site
the Park Avenue side of
the Trust Company Building
for bank and department
store patrons. This is to be
accomplished by widening
Park Avenue by using a por-tion
of the Trust Company's
grounds on the west side.
The improvements are de-signed

Taking School Census
"Counting noses" is the
summer task of N. Charles
Downin of 1251 East Derry
Road who is engaged in tak-ing
the annual school census

training and a supervisor of
intra-mural athletics in Derry
Township Schools, is taking
