Very truly yours,
HERSHEY DEPARTMENT STORE.
To this community the Hershey De-partmen
t Store means value. It gives
quality at the lowest price. Instead of
numerous small stores , with inferior
merchandise . Hershey is enabled to
boast of a metro politan store , which
supplies every demand , equal to that
which may be obtained elsewhere , whether
it be Harrisbur g, Lancaster or Leba non._
AlL-of us have every reason to pride
ourselves for having such a splendid store
right at our doors, so to speak. All of us
should co-operate with the management in
order to bring about a greater realizatio n
of its wonderful possibilities.
All_ol_us should' look tor the Hersh ey
Department Store as our store , which- is
not fai fetched, for it is true in every sense
of-the-word , and patronize it to a grea ter
degree than we now are doing: • Practically
every need is met in its many departments ,
which consist of grocer ies, meats , dry
goods, clothin g, haberdasher y, ladies'
read y-to-wear , milliner y, shoes, drugs,
jewelry, furniture , carpets, hardware,
glassware, chinaware.and notions.
Durin g the fifteenth anniversary every
department has contributed seasonable
merchandise at prices attracti vely low that
will mean great savings. This sale is tre-mendous
in its scope, far-reachin g in its
influence, with values that will make it one
long to be remembered. Be sure to read
the adver tisements in this week's issue of
this publication.
The lar ge Show windows and interior of
the store have been still further beautified
for this anniversar y sale. The decorations
and the displays are always clever and
original , but seemingly all previous efforts
have been outdone. The color schemes
and the displays are particularly striking
and noteworth y.

Carelessness Doesn t
Always Honk His Horn ,
Says G. H. Moyer
Hon. G. H. Moyer, in charge of the
State Workmen 's Insurance Fund , ad-dressed
several hundred employees of the
Hershe y Chocolate Company in the Her-shey
Central Theatre.
Before speaking to his hearers two reels
of pictures were shown—a comedy and one
which depicted most dramatically the
hazards in the daily life of workmen , teach-ing
a lesson far better that words could
tell—a reel that every employee of the
Hershe y Chocolate Company should have
seen.
Mr . Moyer in his most able and eloquent
manner told his hearers of the why and the
wherefore of the State Insurance Fund ,
and its wise provisions for assisting the
disabled and in ad justing the compensation
awards.
He told of the number of accidents to
the employees of the Company from Jan.
1 to Aug. 1, 1925, which totaled 410, and
which resulted in 2887 days lost time. If
the same average continues duri ng the
remainder of the year there will be 293
addi tional accidents and 2062 days lost
time.
The nature of the accidents were as
follows : 226 lacerations and contusions ;
52 strains; 51 eye injuries ; 37 splinters ; 15
frac tures ; 9 burns; 6 heat exhaustion ; 3
hernia; 2 scalds; 9 miscellaneous. There
were also 61 cases of inspection , two of
which resul ted in sixty days lost time.
The most serious accidents were : Jan.
26, Isaiah Bri ghtbill , age 62, quarry, loss of
right eye, cut by flying stones; May 22,
Elizabe th Barnard , tin can department ,
lost two fingers while operating stampin g
press.
These figures are amazing. We know
of the danger in getting into a pre dica-ment
, for the hazard is evident. But it is
the seemingly small dangers that are
given the least attention , and the first
thing we know some little uninvite d germ
has decided to spend the week in a little
cut , scra tch or bruise on our body. These
little things often make themselves felt
and have a lasting impression.
We'd run our legs off for some uninv
portant thing, but few, without being told ,
walk from the machine shop, the power
house or other departments to the Emer-gancy
room for uie satfe of a Safety First
treatment for a seemingly trivial injury?
Warnings need not be given when the
injury is a crushed foot or some major
injury, because the most careless person
will rush to the Hospital if anything serious
ha ppens. But a little cut or bruiser—
"Shucks , what do I care for a little thin g
like that? "
Pay attention to the little clangers for
their seriousness may increase.
The guards on our machines and ele-vators
, the painted lines in our shops,
warnin g gongs on our cranes and other
devices are not sufficient to save us from
harm. We must co-«perate even unto
doin g the small things m a safe and proper
manner. Many of the smaller things make
themselves felt and have a decided mark
that impresses us quitaforcibly.
This was the gist of Mr. Mover 's re-marks
, who drove home his facts that
stayed put , interspersed with a number ol
his witty stories , which he is a past master
in telling. Mr. Moyer stated that it was a
hard matter to popularize statistics , but he
"gets away with it " in his illimi table
Moyer manner.
Mr. Ritter, who is in char ge of the
engineering department of the State Work-men's
Insurance Fund, and who was chair-man
of the meeting , called upon Mr. Wm.
F. R. Murrie for a tew remarks.
Mr. Murrie told how an injury to, or
loss of, an y part of the human body is
always saddening. He was appalled at
the large number of accidents thus far this
year , and he ur ged every employee to do
ever ything in their power to reduce this
number . If the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany,
in 8 months has 410 acciden ts, which
is considered a good risk , wlia t must the
number of accidents be in other plants
where the risks are greater? He empha-sized
that a hospital was a splendid institu-tion
but a good place to stay out of. He
asked for greater co-operation from each
and ever y employee with the purpose in
mind of savin g life and limb.

Why Every American Boy
Should Be a Boy Scout
A boy is the most loyal being in the
world . Undirected , his excess of animal
spirits and sociability sometimes drive
him into undej irab.e lines. He becomes
the member of a "crowd " or "gang " and
his ver y staunchness and unswerving loyal-ty
to boyhood 's unwri tten law , that re-quires
him to stick by a comrade even
when it leads him into a row , becomes a
peril to the community.
Yet this sense of clannishncss and high
spirits , when pro perly directed , becomes a
firm founda tion for vigor and manliness of
charac ter. The energy which often results
in lawlessness , perhaps in injury to mem-bers
of an opixj sing "club ," perhaps in
destruction to property, can be turned in to
a force which helps the neighborhood in
which boys live, instead of keeping it in
constant uproar.
Workers wi th boys J iave learned this
fac t. The day of supression and of re-pression
is past. Expression— whole-some,
intelligent expression—is the motto
of the age. If you would make men you
must teach the boys to make themselves.
The Sons of Daniel Boone
Man y years ago, Dan Heard, the artist ,
was walking down a street in New York
Ci ty when he was struck by the fact that
nine- tenths of the boys he saw did not
know how to properly spin a top or to
play marbles skilfully , lie investigated
further and found that practically none
knew how to make a kite that would lly
or a balloon that would ascend.
"Our hoys must be taught how to use
their brains and lingers ," he thought , and
he set out to remed y the evil by writing
books to teach boys handicraft and w<xxl-craft.
Later he organized out-of-door
swietiea under the name of "T he Sons of
Daniel Ikxme ," which was later changed
to the "Hoy Pioneers of America " ; and
so the germ of the Scout Idea was set adrift
in our country.
In 1908 Lieutennnt-General Baden
Powell of the British Army, tixik Mr.
Heard 's Scou t Idea and set on foot the boy
scout movement of Great Britain ,
General Powell gathered together a
handfu l of En glish Ixiys. 1 le gave them a
lit tle talk , put them in uniform and drilled
them a little. Then he set them J o play ing
at Indians and Knights of King Arthur.
The idea spread until now in Great Britain
boy scouts can be seen everywhere.
The Boy Scout * of America
In America the scout movement was not
incor porated until February 8, 1910. Since
then it has progressed rapidly until now
there are hundreds of thousands of lx>y
scouts in the United States , with man y
thousand leaders of t roops called . Scout
Masters. Bands of lx>y scou ts enn be
found in every state in the Union , in Pana-ma,
in Cuba, in Hawaii, in the Phili ppines ,
The movement swept over the country
with an enthusiasm and Im petus even
greater than In England. In fact , hh
Genera l Baden-Powell has stated , the vast
stre tches of territory, woods and streams—
ideal cam ping grounds—give the move-ment
a greater future in America than even
En gland can ever hope for. Yet , wherever
the movemen t spreads , it is "the magi-cian's
wand that turns boys into upri ght ,
honorable , chivalrous, kindly , self-relian t ,
useful and patriotic men, "
The Scout Law , Which Every One
Mint Know .
On the Scout Law , which every lioy
must know by heart before he can liecome
even a tenderfoot—the lowest grade of
scout—hungs the whole glory of the scout
idea.
The Scout Law in its pr esent form says:
1. A Scout is trustworthy.
A scout 's honor is to be trusted . If he
were to violate his honor by telling a lie , or
by cheating, or by not doing exactly a
given task , when trusted on his honor , he
may be directed to hand over his scou t
badge.
2. A Scout is loyal.
He is loyal to a 1 to whom loyalty is due:
his scout leader , his home, and parents and
country.
3. A Scout is helpful.
He must be prepared at any time to save
life, help injured persons , and share the
home du ties . He must do at least one
good turn to somebody every day.
4. A Scout is friendly.
He is a friend to all and a brother to
every other scout.
5. A Scout is courteous.
He is |wlite to all , especially to women ,
children , old people and the weak and
helpless. He must not take pay for being
hel pful or courteous.
6. A Scou t is kind.
He is a friend to animals. He will not
kill nor hur t any living creature needlessly,
but will strive to save and protect all
harml ess life.
7. A Scout is obedient.
He olxiys his parents , scout master ,
pal nil leader , and all other dul y constituted
au thorities.
8. A Seoul is cheerful.
He smiles whenever he can. His obedi-en
ce to orders is prom pt and cheery. He
never shirks nor grumbles at hardships.
9. A Scout is thrifty.
He does not wanlonly destroy properly
He works fai thfully, wastes nothing, and
makes the ImsbI use of his opjx>i lunities. He
saves his money so that lie may pay his
own way, be generous to those in need , and
helpful to worthy objects.
lie ma y work for pay, bu t must not
receive tips for courtesies or gcxxl turns .
10. A Scout is brave.
He has the courage to face danger in
spite of fear , and to stand up for the ri ght
Hgalunl the coaxings of friends or the jeers
or threats of enemies , and defeat docs not
down him,
11. A Scout is clean.
He Keeps clean In Ixxl y and though t ,
stands for clean speech , clea n sport , clean
habits, and travels with a clean crowd.
12. A Scout is reverent.
lie is reveren t toward God. He is
fai thful In his religious duties , and res|iec ts
the convictions of others in matters o
custom and religion ,
The Scout Oath Promiaea Duty to God
•nd Country
Before he becomes a scout a Ixiy must
promise:
()n my honor I will do my best —
1, To do my du ty to G<xl and my coun-tr
y, and to obey the scout law ;
. 2. To hel p other people at nil times;
3. To keep myself physically strong,
mentall y awake , and morall y straight.
And he raises his ri ght hand level with
his shoulder , palm to the front , thumb
rusting on the nail of the litt le fmgurland
the oilier three fingers (minting upward , to
make the Scout Salute.
Before he became a tenderfoot he is
tau ght the meaning of the scout oaths , how
to make the sailors ' knots , and learned the
composition of the national Ha g and the
ri ght way to fly it, Once he has passed his
test as n tenderfoot and has assumed the
picturesque uniform for which his boy
heart has been yearning, there are other

Hershe y Greets
Thirt y-Four Children
From Tenements
New York stirred the heart-strings- ) of
Hershey last Frida y by sending thirty-four
East Side boys and girls to this place for a
two weeks vacation. There were little tots
of the "knee high to a grasshopper" type ,
and there were slightly bigger lads and
lasses, some a little scared , others merely
with eyes and hearts full of wonderment.
One and all, they dropped off the train
at 1.24 o'clock with faces full of antici-pation.
For most of them this was bette r
than a promise of heaven. "Two whole
weeks' vacation ," mostly out where the
grass and the butter-flies and the birds and
the trees make life worthwhile , and away
from the noise and the drabness of the
East Side.
Few had even seen the country, and the
trip here was like a voyage thru Faryland.
Most of them were too happy to be tired ,
and they stood the long journey well.
Their personal effects some carried in
shoe boxes, some in bags , some in paper
bundles , a few in small hand bags. Many
of the bundles were almost as large as the
owners. But their weight did not seem to
bother. When the heart is full, bundles
are not very heavy.
Man y of the spectators of the childrens '
arrival were impressed with the cleanliness
of the children. All of them , the com-mittee
in charge say, were given a careful
personal inspection before embarking on
their two weeks' outin g. They were also
weighed , so that their gains during their
period here of fresh air and good food may
be accura tely known. It is estimated that
nearl y half the children , due to their living
in crowded , ill-ventilated tenements , have
a tendency towards sickness caused by
long continued living in these unhealthful
condi tions. Doctors say that even a few
weeks in the open country air will do
wonders in teaching children to breath
deeply and corre ctly, and that the effects
even of a short vacation often last many
months after their return.
The children were selected chiefly thru
the social service agencies connected with
the New York hospitals , in which in many
cases, the parents of the children brought
here are or have been confined or treated.
In fact , many of the children were chosen
to receive the benefits of the outing partly
to give relief to sick or worn-out mothers.
' Due to the fact that no invitations had
been extended to them , twenty-five boys
had to give up the two-weeks' vacation
that they had looked forward to with such
great . anticipation. "I t made me feel
mighty blue ," said Miss Alda Beyer , the
field worker for the Tribune fund. "We
hope for a bigger group going to Hershey
nex t year. "
Special excursion rates were secured for
the children . The amount was raised by
contributions from subscribers to the
fund all over the countr y.

Hershey To Get
Improved Gas Service
At a Cheaper Rate
Announcemen t has been made that the
United Gas Improvement Company of
Philadelphia has taken over the operation
of the Lebanon Gas and Fuel Company,
the Annville and Palmyra Gas and Fuel
Company and the Hummelstown Gas and
Fuel Company.
Warren A. Morris has been appointed
mana ger of the three Companies and has
entered upon his new duties.
Mr . Morris ' first official act was to an-nounce
a new tariff of gas rates which has
been filed with the Public Service Com-mission
to become effective October 1st and
which incor porates radical reductions in
the rates.
The new rates will be as follows : Firs t
500 cubic feet or less per month, net , $1.00
(minimum bill) ; next 3500 cubic feet per
month, net , $1.55 per 1000; over 4,000
cubic feet per month , net $1.05 per 1,000.
While these rate reductions will mean a
heav y loss to the Company at the outset ,
it is the confident belief th at they will
stimulate the use of gas to such an extent
that in time the increased use of gas will
compensate them for the present losses.
It was also stated by the new manager
that the new owners , besides decreasin g
the rates , have alread y taken definite steps
to improve the service.
In fact a quarter of a million dollars will
be spent within the next few months to
improve the gas plant in Lebanon , and to
provide for reinforcemen t of the present
gas supply by linking up with the mains of
the Harrisburg Gas Company, a property
which also is operated by the United Gas
Improvement Company.
The Lebanon gas plant will be improved
bj the installation of new "benches ", or
equipment in which gas is manufactured ,
and by repairs to retorts now is use. Mr.
Morris stated that the materials for this
purpose are already on the cars on their
way to Lebanon and that the work will be
pushed rapidly under the direction of com-petent
engineers.
The high pressure mains connecting
with the Harrisburg Gas Company 's
mains will extend a distance of more than
20 miles by way of Hershey and will supply
gas customers not only in the principal
towns but also to the rural customers along
the lines of the mains. This part of the
improvements alone will cost in the neigh-borhood
of over $200,000.
When this work has been completed
which will be sometime this coming fall ,
the people of the territory served are as-sured
of uniform gas pressures at all times
and an unin terrupted service.
The new management , Mr. Morns
stated , has full confidence in the future of
this section and will spend time , talent and
money freely in order to foster the growth
which is anticipated.
