Hershey Students Make
Survey For White House
Conference Area Report
Young people do not like to be
treated as adults one minute and
as children the next. Teenagers
are too intelligent to accept the
"do as I say, not as I do" type of
discipline.
These are two of the opinions ex-pressed
by 300 Hershey High School
students in a 215-question survey
on topics important to yauta, pre-pared
by the school's White House
Conference Committe.
Topics included in the survey
were family relationships, money
and material things, social -rela-tionships,
religion and culture, and
atitudes toward marriage.
Among other things the survey
indicated that most of our teen-agers
are wholesome—morally, so-cially
and spiritually.
Teenagers possess high ideals
which they often find lacking in
the adult world.
Teenagers are anxious to prove
themselves. trustworthy and to
achieve independence as young
adults.
The 'report on the Hershey area's
teenagers was sent to the Tr -
county White House Conference
committee. This report along with
those of other schools in Dauphin,
Perry and Cumberland counties
will be incorporated into Pennsyl-vania's
date for the 1960 White
House Conference in Washington,
D.C., March 27 through April 3.

Rotary Recognizes
Supervisor Harry
Horst For Scouting
In observing the 50th An.
niversary of the Boy Scouts
movement in the United
States, members of the Ro-tary
Club of Hershey took
note of the achievements of
Harry W. Horst, Campbell-town
native, and Supervisor
of the bean and nut handling
and processing departments
at the Hershey Chocolate Cor-poration.
A veteran of U.S. Army service
in World War I, Mr. Horst has been
affiliated with the Boy Scouts since
1935; and the Corporation since Ap-ril
7, 1913.
He is serving as Commissioner
for the Lebanon County Council,
having been appointed to this posi-tion
on January 1, 1955. The Coun-cil
comprises 95 troops and 2,356
Scouts. Mr. Horst is responsible
for serving the needs and assisting
in the planning of the programs for
all Scout Troops throughout the

Hospital Laboratory
Important Area In
Treating Patients
One of the most important
areas in the care and treat-ment
of patients at Hershey
Hospital is the Laboratory,
according to Administrator
Welch England.
A considerable amount of Labor-atory
work may be required be-fore
an adequate diagnosis can be
made and proper treatment start-ed.
It is of utmost importance that
he data furnished to the doctors is
accurate and reliable.
A stick in the finger or other
methods of securing material for
testing in most cases is a very
small part of the procedure used in
securing accurate results. Some of
he laboratory's tests require sev-eral
hours; in some cases several
days of processing are required be-fore
the doctor can receive an ac-curate
report.
Associate pathologists, F. Wells
Brason, M.D., and Dickinson Lipp-hard,
M.D., make an examination
and a written report on all tissues
or organs removed from the body
during surgery. The purpose of this
is to insure the proper future treat-ment
of the patient.
Chief Laboratory Technician is
Miss Patricia Schulz, a registered
medical technician with eight years
of experience. She previously was
a medical technician at the Univer-sity
of Tennessee. Her assistant is
Miss Joan Hnat, a graduate of Key-stone
Junior College.
