Keeping The Dutch Touch
If you live in Hershey, or if 'you're spending the
week here, you are in for a real Dutch treat. Here in
the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, thousands
are gathered for the celebration of the eleventh animal
Dutch Days in Hershey Park.
The popular event has grown to huge proportions
since its comparatively Modest beginning as an outing
held by a PennSylvania Dutch dialect class of the Her-shey
Evenirig School.
Its continued growth and ever-mounting interest
stems froM its 'colorful portrayal of the Pennsylvania
German ("Dutch") culture. By its very nature, the
Dutch Days celebration has come to capture the imag-ination
and enthiisiasm of the Dutch and non-Dutch
alike.
• Featuring the oldtime arts and --crafts of that
interesting segment of the American. people,' Dutch
Days in the Chocolate Town each year gives im- •
petus to the reawakened interest . in the cultural
heritage of the Pennsylvania Germans.
The origin of . the Pennsylvania Dutch goes back
to the time when this country was still a vast wilder-ness.
The first ."Dirtchmen" were among the many
Europeans who came to the New World seeking relig-ious
and political freedom.
Those who came from 'the lower Rhine. 'Valley
region of Germany and from •- Switzerland largely
settled in the eastern part of what is now Pennsylvania.
They came to be known as the Pennsylvania Germans,
of Pennsylvania Dirtch—from the German "Deutsch."
Much of the prosperous agricultural region
hereabout was developed by those hardy, folk as the
pioneer farmers beat back the wilderness. Their
women were skilled in the arts of homemaking .and
family rearing, and the menfolks possessed many
talents in craftsmanship by which they furnished
their homes in a distinctive manner.
These arts arereVived each year during the Dutch
Days celebration here. Included among them are a
number of so-called "lost arts" which are being per-petuated
by means of the interest fostered by the big
