Hetrick, Grant-ville Route 1, has terminated his employment with the Hershey Chocolate Corpora-tion in order to leave for military service. Hetrick was employed in Longitude Department at the chocolate plant. Hershey News Comm. Bldg. Hershey, Pa. SI, V 4, POS PAGE Unusual School Has Campus In Hershey One of the most unusual schools in the world is located in Hershey. Its curriculum lists a con-centrated course of studies that emphasize murder, may-hem, arson, robbery and sud-den death of various ways and means. It accepts no women stu-dents, but among its pupils are dogs and horses. Among its classroom exhi-bits are pistols, rifles, bombs, brass knuckles and bludgeons. The campus of the Penn-sylvania State Police Training School, commanded by Major Thomas F. Martin, is well known to Hersheyites, but the actual operation -of the school is not generally observed at close range although visitors are welcomed. Visitors find much of in-terest at the school. The stu-dent troopers, who eventually take their places in one of the finest police organizations in the world, have before them as they study, all the various deadly weapons known to the criminal world. The sundry weapons are used to familiar-ize the policemen with the tools of the trade of the out-law. • Also on display at the school are the policemen's own tools —the ballistics equipment, fingerprinting, documentary evidence studies, plaster of paris and moulage castings, and many others. Organizing of the class-room exhibits is under the guiding hands of Major Mar-tin and Sgt. John Grosnick. Looking rather out of place among the deadly weapons is a group of toy trucks, tractors and farm and road equipment which may puzzle the visitor at first. But Sgt. Grosnick will explain its importance: The miniature vehicles and imple-ments are replicas of actual types and are used to train the new policemen to know and recognize them. Free Feed Set For VFW Post Drive Champs The "Blue" team of the Hershey Veterans of Foreign Wars membership drive is not so blue. The "Blues" are going to enjoy -a free dinner at the expense of the losing "Red" team as the result of a re-cent member-getting contest. Results of the contest were announced following the VFW post's semi-monthly meeting on January 6, when it was reported that the post had reached 85 per cent of its 1953 membership and ex-pects to hit the 100 per cent mark soon. On the winning "Blue" team in the membership drive were Captain Robert Heagy, Larry Rotz,. Milton Shaeffer, Raymond Wise, Lester Smith, Aid? DeCarlo, and Post Corn-' mander Clarence Jeffries. The "Red" team was cap-tained by Larry Wallace and included John Gondek, Paul Hetrick, jr., Joseph Plebani, Roy Witman and William Schmehl. During the meeting, four new members were admitted to the post: William Wright, Dr. Ray 1-Cinch, Orville King and William Yakstis. Auxiliary News The VFW post's ladies' auxiliary held its January meeting last week and made plans to entertain the national president, Mrs. Rosalie Schill, at a luncheon on Sunday, March 28, at the Hotel Her-shey, during Mrs. Schill's visit to Pennsylvania. Mrs. Ross Shepler is chair-man of the committee on ar-rangements and Mrs. Lester Smith is co-chairman. Toast-mistress will be. Mrs. Frank Gasper, and Mrs. Paul Het-rick is serving as reservations chairman. The auxiliary announced it will conduct a rummage sale on January 30. Mrs. Charles Lebo is in charge. Also announced was a ham dinner, which is to be served without charge to post, auxi-liary and social members of the VFW, at the post home on Saturday, January 23, from two to seven p. m. Adult's and children's tickets are available for non-members. Some Christmas -Seal Letters Unanswered — Have you answered your Christmas Seal letter? Or did it get pushed to the bottom of the pile during the hubbub of the holiday season? "If you have been delaying making your contribution to the Christmas Seal Fund, we hope you will do so promptly," it was pointed out by James DeAngelis, local seal sale chairman of the Tuberculosis and Health Society of Dauphin and Perry Counties. The chairman pointed out that the Seal Sale is the Tuber-culosis Society's sole source of revenue, and that 86 cents out of every dollar contributed is retained by the Society for local use. "It should be a source of great satisfaction to every contributor to the Christmas Seal Fund that such a high percentage of his contribution stays right here for use in his 3547 REQUESTED IF UNDELIVERABLE own community."
