Dan Yost • Daniel B. Yost, veteran Hershey employee, is a man with power to spare. But with the help of the dials and controls visible in the photo, he puts his voltage to good use. Yost is in charge of the Power House at the Hersher Lumber Products, where, in addition to supplying electrical' power for the plant itself, the unit also serves as a distribu-tion station for much of the electricity generated at the Hershey Chocolate Corporation Power House for use around Hershey. Yost, a Carlisle native, first came to Hershey in 1913 to work in the chocolate factory, then the Chocolate Cor-poration Power House. Later, he worked for several years at the railroad roundhouse at Rutherford, returning to Her-shey in 1929 as a member of the electrical gang working on the construction of the Community Building. After the building was opened, Yost—on August 26, 1933—transferred to the Lumber Products Power House as an operator. He's been there ever since. After working hours, he likes to do things with his garden at his home at 65 Trinidad Avenue. That has been his address since right after his marriage in 1913. Mrs. Yost is the former Catherine Weaver who was born at Sand Beach and reared in Hershey. Her father, Chris Weaver, was a well known Sand Beach miller and later, as a stone mason, helped lay the stonework for the Hershey chocolate factory. The Yosts are the parents of a daughter, Jean, wife of Kenneth Kopenhaver of Hershey. Their grandchildren are Dale and Robin Kopenhaver. Hershey News Comm. Bldg. Hershey, Pa. BULR RATE U. S.
