Plan To Dedicate New Hershey Ambulance
The date for the dedication
of a new ambulance has been
announced by the Hershey
Ambulance Corps, following
the arrival here of the new
vehicle last weekend.
The dedication program is
being arranged for Friday,
July 31, at 7:30 p.m., at the
fire hall. On that day, the-am-bulance
will be on display
throughout the day.
The new vehicle is an S & S
ambulance on a Cadillac chas-sis.
It was purchased from the
one-dollar memberships, and
no solicitation was required.
The decision to purchase
the new ambulance came dur-ing
the past year as the Am-bulance
Corps surveyed the
future needs of the, commun-ity.
The committee named
was headed by Fire Company
President Percy Eckert and
included Eugene Sajeski, Ez-ra
Landis, George Vaughn,
Robert Raffensperger, Paul
Seavers, and William Garri-son.
_
After considerable study,
the committee recommended
the purchase of the newly ar-rived
ambulance as the ve-hicle
that would best suit the
community needs.-
The Hershey Ambulance
Corps had its beginning a lit-tle
over five years ago when
the Hershey Volunteer Fire
Company, realizing the need
of the community for this
emergency equipment, decid-ed
to solicit the community
to determine if public senti-

Volunteers were trained in
first aid procedures so that
they could staff the ambu-lance
when it arrived.
The first ambulance was a
Pontiac, which was put into
service in May of 1954, and
which has been in continuous
service since that time.
Mutual Aid
In the period since the Her-shey
ambulance group Was
formed, a reciprocal agree-ment
between Palmyra, Hum-melstown,
and Hershey has
been in effect, whereby each
is ready to help out when any
of the community ambulances
are busy. A Hershey Ambu-lance
Corps spokesman said:
"We feel that a wonderful
spirit of cooperation has been
shown between the neighbor-ing
corps. Hershey has had to

ment would warrant purchase
of an ambulance.
At the same time, it had
to be determined whether
there would be enough volun-teers
willing to give of their
time to man the ambulance on
a continuous 24-hour basis.
The response of the com-munity
was so overwhelming-ly
in favor of the service that
the Hershey Ambulance Corps
was formed.
The first officers elected
were Charles Muench, Sr.,
president; Willis Dressler,
vice-president; Ruth Hocker,
secretary; John Steen, finan-cial
secretary; and Paul Seav-call
on one or the other corps
from time to time, due to rea-sons
beyond our control, and
Hershey has also responded
to their calls whenever the
need has arisen."
When the Hershey Ambu-lance
Corps was formed and
all the public subscriptions
were in, it was found that the
commtinity enthusiasm had
resulted in over-subscribing
the amount needed for the
original purchase.
A membership was set up
at one dollar per year per
family, to include all depend-ents
in the family. Persons
over 18 years of age support-ers,
Dr. William Abrams, and •m g themselves were required
to become members for free
service. -
The free ambulance service
is given within a 50-mile ra-dius
of Hershey, with a twen-ty
cents per mile charge foi-any
mileage over and beyond
100 miles on any one trip.
At the July 16 Ambulance
Corps meeting, it was report-ed
that the vehicle had made
1,432 trip& to that date, and
had traveled 29,792 miles.
The corps has a present
membership of 3,300 mem-bers.

Slate Open House Drill For Big 33
The big news on the Big 33 this week is that next Sun-day,
July 26, an open house practice will be staged, with
Coach Carl Snavely putting his boys through their
paces on the stadium field:
The public is invited to attend the drills. A band will
be on hand to entertain. .
The Big 33 squad is quartered at the Park Golf Club.
While preparations are going forward for the "Dream
Game" on August 1. Some of the game's highlights:
Bernie Bierman, last year's Big 33 coach who led the
Pennsylvania boys to a 6-0 triumph over the Nation's All-
Americans, will be on hand to receive,a special honor at half-time.
Nineteen members of last year's winning club will also
be guests and will occupy special seats next to this year's
club on the field.
Featured in the pre-game festivities will be the game
band, which this year will be Hanover High School, under
the direction of Bruce Wiser. The 120-piece high school band
has appeared in Macy's parade in New York City, the New
Orleans Mardi Gras and at the Baltimore Colts games.
An added attracticm will be a 1,000-voice chorus of Girl
Scouts — the largest vocal group ever assembled at any
sports activity in this area. Also on display will be 66 baton
twirling beauties from the Central_ Penn Area.

of the top 20 drill teams in the country.

event at the Hershey Park Office, second floor of the
Souvenir Building.
Mail orders will be taken by addressing checks to Big
33, Inc., Box 139, Hershey. Reserved seats are $3 and $2.

In the beginning of the week the
Hershey Legionnaires tipped over
Legion 733 by a 14-9 count and then
went on to win their eighth of a
winning splurge over Bressler 2-0,
and finally downed league leading
Post 1001 by a 3-0 count for their
ninth in a row. Their season log is
17 wins and two losses.
Both teams were in on the scor-ing
end of the game as Hershey
defeated .Legion 733. The Hershey
team piled up eleven runs in one
inning for what is probably a rec-ord
in Legion play, and from there
on settled down to normal play,
picking up three runs in the re-maining
innings.
Miller and Snyder pitched for
Hershey and the combination gave
up eight hits for nine runs. The
combination also collaborated to
hit Iwo three - baggers to help
along their own cause.
Gary Hinebaugh pitched a five-hit
shutout against Bressler to aid
the Legion in chalking up another
victory. Spencer, Snyder and Pat-rick

cause, with Spencer pacing the at-tack
