              Hershe y Firemen
Plannin g To Buy
Chemical Engine
The regular monthly meeting of the
Hershey Volunteer Fire Company was
held on Tuesday evening, Nov. 3, at the
Hose house, with the following members
present : Messrs. M. S. Hershey, John H.
Gordon, George Schroll, Carl Schmidt,
Clarence Ulrich, George-Dressier, John P.
Conrad, Charles Palmer, Paul Edris, H. S.
Boyer, Irvin Uhler, Henry Henny, Clyde
Ebersole, Jerome Hostetter, Wilbur Phila-baum,
Herman Seavers, Benjamin Reigle,
John McKinne, Robert Owens, Jr., Wm.
Hyland, Daniel Ensminger, Robert Aumen
James F. X, Murray and A. W. Flowers.
Mr. Christ Battdorf was elected a mem-ber
of the company.
The Committee in charge of the Fire-men's
Fair, held last week, made no defi-nite
report, as the final checking up, had
not as yet been completed.
The question of obtaining a new chemi-cal
was discussed by the members, as to
the kind of apparatus needed, and the
means of procuring funds necessary to
meet the expense of same.
Representatives of the Hahn Motor
Truck Co., of Harrisburg, were present,
and furnished photographs of various
kinds of Chemical trucks, and from Mr.
Klein, their master mechanic, the mem-bers
obtained first-hand data, as to just
about what *he Hahn Truck was capable
of doing, ana in conclusion, suggested to
the Hershey Company, that a Committee
be appointed to visit Schwenksville, to
view a new truck similar to the ideas of the
Hershey firemen, that was just installed.
Mr. Hahn, Jr., of the Hahn Co., also
gave some interesting data on the matter,
and' only asked that we supply his Com-pany
with specifications as to our wants,
and he felt reasonably sure, that an ap-paratus
costing in the neighbor of $5500.00
would just about comply with our needs.
Mr. Hartman, of Lebanon, a former
Fire Chief of that city, informed the meet-ing,
that more damage was done by water
than by flame in 75% of cases, and that
the chemical could be used to more ad-vantage,
than the pumper.by first locating
the base of the fire, instead of pouring a lot
of water into the burning property, pro-viding
the fire was of ordinary magnitude,
of course he said , where conditions war-rant
the use of pumper, it was advisable
to use same, but at the same time the
Chemical would be used for scouting duty.
He cited this case to show the increase in
Chemical trucks at this date, that in 1896
in the city of Lebanon, not a chemical truck
was to be found , now, every company in the
city has a Chemical attached to their
pumps in 2 sections, one being recharged
while the other functioned.
Mr. M. S. Hershey, was then called
upon, and while his desire is to see the Fire
Co. equipped with the necessary means oi
fighting fires , yet he thought it possible to
have attached to our present engine, the
chemical addition , and thereby save con-siderable,
but upon being informed that
our present engine was to small, seemed
agreed to permit the Company to investi-gate
what the Hahn Co. had to offer , as to
our specifications and what means should
be used to raise funds to meet this ex-pense.
Mr. Hershey was much pleased to know
that the new engine has been paid in full ,
that there was a nice sum in the treasury
of the Company, and spoke of new quarters
for trucks and firemen in the near future .
The following members were appointed
to visit Schwenksville, to view a'new Hahn
truck , and report to the members at the
next meeting: Chief H. Boyer, assistant
chief , David Ditzler , John P. Conrad and
Herman Seavers.
The first method of procuring funds to
meet this expense is to oe an announcement
thru the Hershey Press, that Committee is
appointed to visit the citizens living in the
rural districts and explain the need of such
an apparatus, for it is in these parts of our
Community that the Chemical will he of
the best service, on ,, account of the poor
water supply, thereby ' hampering the
effectiveness of a pumper.
President Ulrich appointed on this
Committee: John P. Conrad , A. W. Mow-ers,
Daniel Ensminger , Paul Edris, Jerome
Hostetter, Irvin Uhler , Clarence Ulrich ,
John C. Hershey, John II. Moyer, Ira
Bacastow and John K. Zoll.
For the information of the citizens ol
this community, President Ulrich advised
them to remember that a fireman , becom-ing
injured , while in the act of lighting a
lire, such member cannot expect compensa-tion
from the Stale Workman 's Insurance
Fund , and this ex pense must, be paid by
(he Township, and that therefore the out-lying
farming districts, should co-operate
wi th the Committee when they call.
Daniel Ensminger made a motion thai
the Company write the State Internal
office at llaiTisburg, and ascertain whether
or not. the town of Hershey, could receive
an allotment of t he funds collected as taxes
by the Insurance Company'.*, l 'UB distribu-tion
has been made lo all cities and the
secretary is to find out whether or not
Township conies under this ruling. So it
is very apparent that in t he. near future a
new Chemical will be counted as part of
the I lershcy Volunteer Fire Company.

Radio Squealer
Causin g Havoc
to Hershe y Fans
If it so happened that you were an
ardent radio fan, and that there was an
unusually fine program on the air, and
that you had tuned in and was enjoying it
—when a "squealer " got in his fiendish
work—wouldn't it make you mad?
This did happen. On Sunday evening
the Atwater Kent Company was broad-casting,
and the artists were Mary Lewis,
operatic soprano and Paul Kochanski,
violinist—and the program was a woner-ful
treat to hear—for those who were
privileged to do so.
Not so for the Hershey fans, for the
"squealer" was at work—and he was doing
his deadliest, too. It was awful! When a
squealer 's" squeal is amplified it sounds
worse than the blast from the fire siren on
top of the Hershey Men's Club.
Expert radio fans state that this dis-turber
of the ether is evidently a one-tuber,
or else one who does not know the niceties
of tuning in. It has been suggested that
this fan receive instructions how to operate
his set so that in tMJ future other radio fans
will not be annoyed by his "squealings."
Next Sunday evening the Atwater Kent
Company will again be on the air, and the
radio fans of Hershey are hoping that the
"squealer" will have by that time shown
improvement , or bought himself a new
machine, or else keep off the air.

The Deserted Garden. :¦
Only, a few
Rotten tomatoes, only
A few red beets that have not been
gathered yet—
A few corn stalks that stand forlorn and
lonely,
Like girls that men forget.
These and the weeds.
Grass that grew late in summer,
And skeletons of some of the garden
plants
Remain to tell their story to the comer
Who wanders here by chance:—
Early last spring
Smith felt ambitious somehow.
He spaded all of his garden with a will,
And told the world with gestures of his
thumb how
A person ought to till.
For a few weeks
He worked this garden nightly.
Enjoying every moment he spent here,
Then came to him, if we remember rightly,
The need to persevere.
He carried on
Although his will was breaking,
Although he longed to be doing other
things,
'Though sometimes with his hoe he got to
making
Some pretty vicious swings.
Then, m a rage,
Tired of too much endeavor,
He stored the gardening tools in his
garage,
And swore, "I'm through with you, O Soil,
forever!
You've had your last massage."
Vacation days
Came. Was our Smith glad of it?
The doctor said, "Mr. Smith you need a
rest.
No gardening for you—although you love
it."
Smith sighed—"Doc, you know best."
Touring about
Roaming the country's highways,
Forgetting that his poor garden wasn't
hoed.
Drawn now and then into quaint little
byways,
Lured by the open road.
Smith enjoyed life.
Soon passed the summer season,
October was nearly gone when he came
home,
How does his garden look to Smith, the
Rover,
Whose footsteps o'er it roam?
Only a few
Rotten tomatoes, only
A few red beets that have not been gath-ered
yet,
A few com stalks that stand forlorn and
lonely,
Like girls that men forget.
These and the weeds,
Grass that grew late in summer,
And skeletons of some of the garden
plants
Remain to tell their story to the comer
Who wanders here by chance.
Our Error.
The Girl in Blue says those riddles we
perpetrated in the column last week were
the bunk. She says those conundrums
were wabbling around on crutches when
she was in the cradle.
To which we beg leave humbly to reply.
We figger if anything is old enough, it can
be passed as something new. We calcu-lated
those confounded riddles were so old
that everyone who had ever heard them
had forgotten them long already.
By the way, here are a few more conund-rums.
Why does a schoolmaster resemble an
eye?
Because he has a pupil under the lash.
Why is a sheet of writing paper like a
lazy dog?
A sheet of writing paper is an ink-lined
plane, and an inclined plane is a slope up,
(slow pup.)
What is the difference between an Irish-man
frozen to death and a Scotch high-lander
on a mountain peak in January?
One is kilt with the cold , and the other is
cold with the kilt.
Why is a woman like a telegraph?
Because she is always in advance of the
mail inlcllegence.
Where should the America n Eagle sit ,
were he to go to the t heatre?
In the bald headed row .
What instance is given in (ho Bible
where live slept in one bed?
Where Abraham slept with his fore-fa

Why is a fighting cat like a surgeon?
They both mew till late.
Why is a widow like a gardener?
Because she tries to Ret rid of her weeds.
Wh y was Goliath surprised when he was

Because such a thiii R had never entered

Pro and Con of
Hershe y and Palmyra
High Football Game
The Hershey High School football play-ers
and students were more or less stunned
on Tuesday upon receiving notice of can-cellation
of the big annual football game
between the local High School and their
bitterest rivals. Palmyra High, scheduled
to be played at Hershey on Saturday, Oct.
31st. In cancelling the game, Palmyra
gave no reasons whatsoever and it looks
like very poor sportsmanship on their part
to call off the big game at the last minute.
This is one year that Hershey felt they had
a good chance to defeat Palmyra High, as
the local team has one of the strongest
teams in the history of the school. Ar-rangements
had been made to secure P. I.
A. officials for this game so that no claim of
partiality could be made by either side.
Published in last week's issue of the
Press.
Cancellation of the football game
scheduled to be played between Palmyra
and Hershey High on the latter 's field on
Saturday, October 31st, resulted in the
circulation and publication of some weird
and unfounded statements which , ap-parently,
are intended to becloud the
minds of the public and at the same time
cast reflection on the sportsmanship of the
loca l school.
Without becoming personal or stooping
to the "mud-slinging " method which our
neighbors employ and in which they seem
to take particular delight whenever their
paths are crossed , a brief summary of the
facts in the case, as disclosed by an in-vestigation
, is hereby submitted , and
readers are al liberty to arrive at their own
conclusions.
The game was called off on Tuesday for
the reason that Hershey failed to comply
with the provisions of the contract con-cerning
the selection of officials. Section
(d) of Part 1 of the contract , which bears
the signatures of both coaches, reads as
follows: "The major officials in the game
shall be disinterested persons mutually
agreed upon.
Palmyra was not consulted in the
original selection of officials but , upon
request , received a written communication
from Hershey by which Palm yra was
curtl y informed who the officials would be.
These officials and the method used in this
connection proved very unsatisfactory.
Palmyra voiced their objections by tele-phone
communication and called attention
lo the provisions of the contract but Her-shey
was not inclined to make more than
one substitution in the officials.
Uiter a conference, suggested by Pal-myra
, between the coaches and principa l
of the two schools failed to promote a spirit
of co-operation and created a situation
which made the severing of athletic rela-tions,
which had been resumed only in
Seplemlier after a lapse of some years,
empha tically advisable.
A comparison of the games played and
the records made by each team snows no
cause at all for Palmyra to fear to meet
their rivals on any field at any time. No,
Palm yra has not as yet sullered a i)i)-0
defeat . Publi shed in last week's issue of
th e Palmyra Citizen.
(There is always two sides lo every
question but the fad remains that Pal-myra
High displayed poor s|>ortsiuaiiship
when they cancelled the game, Why not
forget the whys and tilt; wherefores and
settle the mailer on the gridiron, The
general public doesn 't cur e about Ihe pre-liminaries
th ey want to see the real stuff.
Inasmuch as Ileishey and Palmyra have
good teams, and both think they can win -
why not forgot the pelty grievances, if
there is any , and pla y the game, It ought
lo lie a real humdinger , and should draw an
immense crowd Ed.|

He Who Gets Slapped
Has Euro pean
Circus Setting
With a European circus as the locale,
and a tragic clown as the central character,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "He Who Gets
Slapped ," which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday,
Nov. 7th , at 6.30 and 8.30 p. m., is de
clared to be one of the most unusual pic-tures
of the season.
"He Who Gets Slapped" is the story of
a brilliant scientist, who is deserted by his
wife, and whose life work is stolen by his
patron and friend. "HE," embittered ,
and seeking forgetfulness, becomes a clown
in a French circus. This is the beginning
of the story, and the picture carries its
audience into the backstage of a European
circus, with the story told by clowns,
acrobats, trick riders and the other per-formers
of the hippodrome.
The picture was directed by Victor
Seastrom, the noted Swedish actor-pro-ducer,
who is now in America with the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Seastrom
has been hailed by other directors, and by
critics, as one of the greatest of directors,
and this picture has proved an excellent
vehicle for his technique and strong dra-matic
sense. The story is one of the most
tragic and dramatic ever screened , and the
locale of the circus provides many colorfu l
settings and much interesting atmosphere.
I«on Chaney, king of character actors
and make-up wizards, plays the leading
male role, that of the unhappy clown , "I Ie"
and it is reported he has made it one of his
greatest characterizations. Norma Shear-er
and John Gilbert play the romantic
leads. The supporting. cast includesTully
Marshall , Ford Sterling, Marc McDer-inott
, Clyde Cook, Harvey Clarke, Paul-elte
Duval , George Davis, Ruth King and
others.
The story was adapted from the play of
the same name by Leonid Andreyev , one of
the foremost of modern Russian play-wrights
, and was adapted to the screen by
Carey Wilson.
"He Who Gets Slapped" is Seastrom's
second production in America , his first
being, "Name the Man!"

Koo Koo Klan Konhlave
of Armstron g Cork Co.
Held at Hershe y Cafe
The Fourth Degree in the order of the
"Koo Koo Klan" was administered to 265
Armstrong Cork Company linoleum job-bers,
salesmen, and office executives at the
annual Konklave held in the Hershey Cafe,
Thursday evening of last week.
Automobile parties left Lancaster at 5
o'clock and found themselves in the land of
ghosts, skeletons and witches the moment
they arrived at the scene of the Konklave.
One by one the men were ushered by black-robed
figures through a narrow doorway,
down four steps, over an uncertain flooring
which sank in unexpected places, and past
the grave of Old Man Alibi , who was
buried at the annual Konklave last No-vember,
with his golf clubs standing guard
over his grave.
Continuing through the "dark and nar-row
passage" (this was the rotunda of the
Hershey cafe) each Klansman was pre-sented
with the emblem of the order—a
lapel button showing the Koo Koo bird
perched on the Circle A—and an elaborate-ly
ruffled and highly colored paper bird hat
with protuding beak.
Time was taken to pause before a me-chanical
figure of a pert little man showing
placards one by one—the cards bearing
personal messages to the Koo Koos present.
Next in the dimly lighted passage came
the Jobbers' Goat—a live goat in a green
wire cage, complacently eating cabbage
leaves. He was decorated with green
ribbons on neck, ankles, and tail , and
placarded "The Jobbers' Goat—It's a
mystery how we got it , but here it is!"
Then the procession emerged into the
arena of the noisemakers—black-robed
and skull-faced, all tooting horns, whirling
razzlers, banging clappers—and the un-wary
jobbers stepped , one by one, over a
raised platform that sprang up with a loud
honk and at the same time lighted a row of
green lights in front of a real human skele-ton
which they were required to pass before
reaching the banquet hall. The noise-makers
were handed to them from a table
piled high at the exit to the trail of horrors.
The trip proved so popular that many of
the members went through it a second,
third , and even a fourth time.
Dinner was served by twelve comely
masked witches—but there was nothing
spooky about the food. It was substantial
chicken and waffles and all the trimmings.
After dinner the especially erected stage
in the center of the hall became the scene
of strange and uproarious happenings. It
was presided over by a husky red devil,
who as master of ceremonies directed his
black-robed henchmen through the "pain-ful"
ordeals which the Koo Koos are re-quired
to pass through every year.
Grouped around a great cauldron spitt-ing
red fire and fumes, with witches falling
occasionally from the ceiling, and bursts of
applause from the floor, sixteen new job-bers
received the All Fools' Degree of the
Noble Order of Koo Koo.
After the initiation of new members the
entertainment proceeded. One jobber
was politely requested to sit upon an
electrified chair . There was a gladiatorial
contest between East and West, huge
shields protected the helmeted warriors
from the eggs with which they pelted each
other .
There was singing, and the seventeen
numbers on the song sheets were all .sung,
many of them repeated.

Workmen Pr esent
Flags to Hershey
High School
It is altogether fitting to make known
through the columns of the Press the
splendid loyalty of the workmen at the
time of building of the new school. Being
desirous of adding something of perma-rtence
to the equipment of the Junior-
Senior High School, they voluntarily con-tribu
ted one hundred forty-six ($146.00)
for the purchase of flags for the school.
The first desire was to provide a flag for the
fla g staff on the tower. A six by nine
heavy bunting fla g was purchased and put
in place where it has been displayed daily
during suitable weather. But a bunting
fla g did not seem to meet with the ap-proval
of a number of the men. They
wanted silk, so accordingly a United
States Silk flag was purchased for the
Audi torium. This flag is truly a beautiful
crea tion , made entirely of taffeta silk,
surrounded by a heavy gold fringe, and
fastened to a standard with gold cords
finished with gold tassel. The standard
itself is of polished brass, nine feet high
surmounted by an American eagle with
outstretched wings.
After paying for these two flags, there
was still a neat sum of the money left
which the ,men had contributed. Upon
the advice of the Supervising Principal, this
money was used to buy still another flag.
This time a Pennsylvania State flag to
take its place with the National Emblem.
The suggestion was readily accepted and
the flag secured. This flag is the same
size as the American flag, made of a blue
taffeta silk background upon which the
coat of arms of the Keystone State is
painted with the words "Virtue, Liberty
and Independence." This flag likewise is
finished with a gold fringe, gold cord and
tassels and supported on a standard similar
to the other one.
These two flags occupy prominent
places on the rostrum of the auditorium
where they bear silent testimony of the
loyalty of the men whose hands shaped the
building into its present beauty. The
pupils received these banners with a long-spiri
ted applause.
The honor for carrying through this
splendid movement belongs especially to
Oscar Spancake and George Rea, both of
them capable mechanics and loyal work-men.
Much credit belongs to the scores
of men on the job who helped to make the
donation of these three flags to the school—
one for the staff on the tower, the other
two—a National and a State Emblem—
for the Auditorium.
