Leave Hersliey
H
" IRIENDS of James F. Garvin,
Jr., physical director of the
Young Men's Christian Asso-i
r elation, will learn with gen-uine
regret that he has tendered his
resignation to the board of directors.
Some time ago Mr. Garvin received a
very attractive offer to come to' Santi-ago,
South America, to take up work
among the Chileans there. After serious
consideration he has accepted and will
sever his connection with the Hershey
Y. M...C. A. July l.
Mr. Garvin came here nearly a year
ago from the University of Wooster
and entered upon the work of the phy-sical
department of the local Associa-tion.
The success of the ¦ football sea-son
and basketball work was du'e in
great measure to his efficient leader-ship
and the developing of material.
The organization by Mr. Garvin of the
boys' department has been a very im-portant
feature.of his work. Twenty-one
boys haye .had the benefit of his
training, his friendship and his' Christian
example. . In every way Mr. Garvin
has shown -himself an efficient officer
and his genial disposition has won for
him the friendship of all his acquaint-ances.
Physical Director Resigns to Go to South
America ¦ '
His new field will take him to the
home of his parents whom he has not
seen for many years. They are mis-sionaries
in Chile. He will teach in
the Institute Ingles and have entire
charge of the physical welfare and
training of the boys of the school. The
appeal came as a strong one from the
president of the Institute in view of
Mr. Garvin's knowledge of the Spanish
language it being the : language which
he first learned. He came to this coun-try
when 14 years of age. He will sail
from New York the first week in July
and go by way of Liverpool to his new
field. . His many friends will follow him
with interest and all will wish him well
in his new work.

Union Services a Success
E
" IERRY . Presbyterian Church
' was crowded on Sunday even-ing
on the occasion of the
.——-—I Memorial Day union service
of that church and the United Brethren
Church. Seats were reserved for mem-bers
of the P. 0. S. of A. About 30
of the members attended m a body.
The pastor, -Rev. J. A. MacDonald,
presided and was assisted in the ser-.
vices by Rev. John McLean, of North
Dakota. Special music by a union
choir was rendered. Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Patterson sang an appropriate
duet. ¦:¦ The address was made by Rev.
0. G. Romig, of the United Brethren
Church.
The text was taken from Rev. 12 : li,
"Thev loved not their lives, unto the
death." The. speaker dealt entensively
with history showing what men had
done in behalf of their country. He
¦then clearly showed that the day for
soldiers in behalf of "the country's needs
were still needed. There are battles
of intemperance, corrupt politics, etc.
Let all citizens rally 'round the flag in
battles political and moral that our na-tion
may be the kind of nation that its
Founder intended it to be.

Hundreds Visit Park f
?wt|EM0RIAL DAY marked the
iLi I °Pemnl? of Hershey park, the
'** '* most popular picnic resort in
this part of the state. Large
crowds began to arrive in the morning
and before noon there were several hun-dred
persons on the grounds. The min-iature
railroad, a new attraction this
year, proved of great interest and 2,100
tickets were sold. Hundreds took ad-vantage
of the dancing, boating, ball
game, merry-go-round and circus in the
amphitheatre. The concerts, ' by the
local band were greatly appreciated.
The day far surpassed the opening day
last year when rain interfered. The
weather on Tuesday, tho hot, was.' de-lightful.
Everything is now in readi-ness
for the summer season . and the
picnics begin today and there is every
prospect that this year will exceed all
others.
Opening Day Far Surpasses Similar Day

Big Improvement In Band
0
' IN the short time that the Her-:
shey band has been under the
direction of S. J. Feese, mark-ed
advancement has been made.
The band has been carefully organized
and consistent practices have been held
twice a week. New uniforms and new
music have been provided. Several
hew players have joined the. band until
now the number has reached nearly 30.
Saxaphones will soon be introduced
which will add much to the complete-ness
of the band. It is the intention of
the leader to add oboes and bassoons as
well. The work of the band in the few
open air concerts and on Memorial Day
was highly appreciated. We shall soon
have an up-to-date musical organiza-tion
of which the town will be justly
proud.
