Young Men's i Christian Associat ion ¦ . i ' ¦ . . -- ' ¦ Work In All Branch es of Local Associa tion ! " ' Making' Marked Progress SS5551ITH the prospects of being lo-ll i J cated *n tne new quarters in 1 m a couple more, weeks, the ^*^l work of all of the committees of the local Young Men's Christian As-sociation is going along , at a steady pace. To a certain extent some of the active work of the Association must necessarily wait until the room for the offi ce and reading room is ready to be occupied, but that is not hindering some of the enthusiastic members from enjoying the gymnasium, nor some of the committees from pushing their special work forward. i CHARTER OBTAINED jThe Board of Directors met for their monthly meeting last Monday evening^' At this meeting E. M. Hershey report-ed that the necessary papers for the in-corporation of the Association under the laws of the State have been se-cured. Reports were heard from other committees, and the business of the month was attended to. NIGHT SCHOOL j The Educational committee reported the enrollment in the Night School, at the end of the month of October, to be 34. The attendance for the month has been 95.7 per cent, of the enrollment. John.R. ZoII has been secured as assist-ant teacher for the class in stenography. STAR COURSE { The Entertainment committee has given out 296 course tickets to different ones who are selling them for one dollar e^ch. Reserved seatshave been on sale at the Hershey Store since 8 a. m. Wednesday. The first entertainment is to be given next Tuesday evening, in the Hershey Park Amphitheater, at 8 o'clock. | SUNDAY MEET INGS j The Sunday meetings will begin as announced next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The first meeting will be ad-dressed by Rev. Paul. Dundore, of Pal-myra. It is hoped that the assembly room in the Y. M. C. A. building will be ready to be used at that time. In case it is not the meeting will be held in the new gymnasium. The Glee Club will lead in the singing and- will . render a special selection. GYMNASIUM Great interest is being shown in gym-nasium work. Every evening for the last two weeks a number of men have been on the floor doing work under Di-rector Kogel. Until the office can be moved into . the building, no definite work will be done in the organization of classes. The plan, however, is to have a class for business men meeting on Monday and Thursday evenings. A senior class will also be organized to meet two evenings each week. Already a good number have given in their names for enrollment -in one or the other of these classes. The classifica-tion, in every case; is to be made by the physical director together with the gymnasium committee. Basket ball practise is being held each Tuesday and Friday night. ¦ On these evenings, after 8.30, the gymnas-ium floor will be reserved for the bas-ket ball squad. The firs t game will be played with Lykens on our . own floor, on Wednesday, November 29. The ad-mission at this and the other games of the season will be 15 cents. Some word has''been passed out re-garding a proposed gymnasium exhibi-tion which ~wouldrbe held as soon as the building is*ready. Because no definite date can" yet be set for that, it has seemed best to postpone the event un-til all the work on the building is com-pleted. The affair will be held at some date later in the winter. MEMBERSHIP Altho the systematic membership campaign has not yet begun new mem-bers are making application every day. The membership fee is' $3.00. This fee entitles the member to the: full privi-leges of the Association for one year. Men do not lack strength; they lack the will to concentrate and act. . Young Women's Christian Association Will Meet Friday Evening. Miss Mary J. Hopper , Distric t Secretary to Be Present 0 " IN interesting meeting of ' the " Young Women's Christian As-sociation will be held in the gymnasium in Hershey Park, Friday evening, November 17, at 7.45. The early part of the evening will be given to business followed by music. Refreshments will be served; after which there will be a general social time. A member of the Library Commis-sion, of Harrisburg, will be present to give a short talk on traveling libraries and the founding of permanent li-braries. This address will be welcome and helpful inasmuch as the Associ-ation has planned to have a traveling library in Hershey, free to everybody, as soon as a room can be provided for the safe keeping of the books. Mean-while the members will direct their ef-forts towards the establishing of a per-manent library. Miss Mary J. Hopper, the Industrial secretary of this district, will be . pres-ent at the meeting. Miss Hopper comes to suggest a definite line of work for the Association during the coming winter. Remarkable interest in; the Association has been maintained, due, in a measure, to the splendid example given by the Young Men's Christian Association, of Hershey, in all its fea-tures and activities. Heating System Tested H " ~"1HE installing of the heating system in Hershey Park Thea-ter on which the plumbers have been working for the last two weeks, has been completed. The steam was turned on Saturday afternoon 'to put the system to test. Every thing worked well and the building was heated nicely. As soon as the carpenters do a little repairing that is necessary the building will be ready for use.

Clark, had hot gone far from his home when a report of a shot from his rifle had been heard, and we all knew another rabbit had met its fate at the hands of the younggunher. Altho only twelve years of age, Fred handles the rifle very cleverly, this rab-bit being his third one for this season. Fred's success is largely due to his dog Trix which is. ?not a rabbit dog, but a small Fox Terrier which has adapted himself to hunting. Fred says he would not trade him f Or the best rabbit dog in Hershey. - HHE last report of the Hershey Trust Company which has been I made to commissioner of bank-ing shows an increase in the surplus from fifty to one hundred thou-sand dollars. Other figures show an increase in business and the good stand-ing of the company. The report is on page-two of this issue.
