Announce Big Program
For Tenth Anniversary
Celebration Next Week
The Pennsylvania Dut ch
and their enthusiastic follow-ers
will be "shusseling off" to
'Hershey Park next week for
the tenth annual Pennsylvan-ia
Dutch Days. The program,
which also embraces the Na-tional
Plowing Contest and
Conservation Exposition,. will
get under way Thursday, Au-gust
21, and continue through
Sunday, August 24. \
Originated a decade ago by
members of the Pennsylvania
Dutch Dialect Class of the
Hershey Evening school as a
means of preserving the arts
and custom's of the Pennsyl-vania
Dutch, the program be-gan
as a one - day picnic
which attracted 25,000 per-sons.
It has since been ex-panded,
first to three days,
then four years ago a fourth
day was added to the crowded
schedule.
While the program's flavor
remains heavily spiced with
"Dutch" tradition, this year
it has taken on a decided
state fair atmosphere with
the inclusion of the Plowing
Contest and Conservation Ex-position.
—Highlighting the DeEtrits-pect
of the program will be
the mammoth craft exhibits
in the Sports Arena, where
several hundred artisans will
demonstrate ceramics, weav-ing,
candle - dipping, glass-blowing,
quilting, among
many other crafts.
Such familiar farm fea-tures
as the dairy cattle show,
market hog show, farm im-plement
exhibit and hay show
are again on the schedule of
events, as well as the Pony
Show, which proved so popu-lar
with visitors when it was
introduced last season.
Thursday Events
Trials of the North Ameri-can
Sheep Dog Society will
launch the four-day program
on Thursday morning at 7
a. m. Wagon tours of the con-servation
area will begin at
7:30 a. m., followed by the
opening of the dairy cattle
show, hay show and farm im-plement
exhibit at 8.
-Pony judging is scheduled
to get under way at 9 in the
stadium and the National
Contour Plowing Contest will
be held, beginning at 12:30
one-half mile east of the stad-ium.
Harry L. Erdman, first
chairman of Dutch Days, will
launch the bandshell presen-tations
with an address at
2:15, after which Al Shade
and His Short Mountain Boys
and Girls will entertain.
Meanwhile, back in the stad-ium,
the State Police will
present a rodeo at 2:30.
Governor George M. Lead-er
is scheduled to speak at
3:30, after which winners of
the Contour Plowing Contest

THE ERROR-FREE WORLD OF ELECTRONICS has
brought new electronic bookkeeping machines to the
Hershey National Bank. Here, Mrs. Barbara Eisenhour
operates one of the POST-TRONIC machines in the
bank's checking account department.
New Electronic Accounting
For Hershey National Bank
The Hershey National Bank has installed new electronic
bookkeeping machines for its checking-account department.
They replace conventional machines.
The purpose of the new units, according to the bank,
is to speed service, take the drudgery out of detail work for
its employees, and assure time-honored standards of accur-acy
with far less effort. .
Manufactured by National
Cash Register and called the
"POST-TRONIC," the new
machines make possible the
automatic pickup of old ac-count
balances on convention-al
bank forms, as well as seve-ral
other major bookkeeping
innovations. • POST-TRONIC
will establish a degree of ac-curacy
in checking-account
bookkeeping which heretofore
could be attained only by time-consuming
and costly duplica-tion
of effort.
The POST-T RONIC is
equipped with an electronic
reading and recording mech-anism
that automatically
stores a depositor's checking-account
balance on conven-tional-
type monthly state-ments
in the form of invisible
magnetic symbols. As a result,
an operator cannot make an
incorrect pickup of a deposi-tor's
balance,
The machine also verifies
electronically that the proper
check is charged against the
