Girls From Union Deposit
Have Straw Ride
0
" | PLEASANT surprise awaited
the girls from Union Deposit
who work in the chocolate fac-tory
when they came from
work last Tuesday evening. Instead of
a bus which usually carries them to and
from work they found a large straw
wagon waiting for them. At first the
girls refused to ride in the wagon, but
soon all but a few were loaded into the
wagon ready for the ride home. Those
who did not ride were afterwards sorry,
for the girls say that they have not had
such a jolly ride since the tame when
the high water kept them from getting
to their work. .
There were a great many reasons
given for the straw ride. Some said
that the bus was struck by the trolley;
others that it was hit by a train; and
still others that it went through < the
bridge. The real reason was that Davy
Hanshaw, the driver, had taken a mov-ing
to Annville and did not get back in
time to bring the bus to Hershey.
