else is. For a number of years he has
practised law in Pennsylvania and has
delivered many addresses to Bible classes
and patriotic organization meetings.
Charles Black, present president of the
class, will preside. S. P. Bacastow, of
Harrisburg, who was the first president of
this class, will be present and give a brief
history of the class from its origin to date.

arranged by the committee. The devo-tional
part of the program will be in charge
of Rev. R. H. Taylor, pastor of the church
and teacher of the class for nine out of the
ten years of its organization.
A most cordial invitation is extended to
the public to attend this anniversary
service and the class desires to take this
means of extending an invitation to the
other Bible classes of this section to attend,
either in a body or individually. The P.O.
S. of A. have accepted an invitation to
attend.

Have You Made Your
Contribution to the
Christmas Tree Fund
The Hershey Community Christmas
Tree will be placed on the lawn in front of
the Hershey Central Theatre building
next week and on Thursday evening, Dec.
24th, at 6.30 o'clock, Santa Claus will
distribute gifts to each child that presents
one of the cards that have been distributed
by Prof. A. M. Hinkel. ' Children up-, to
and including 8 years of age* who are living
in Derry Township will receive cards, and
it is expected that 750 cards will be dis-tributed.
Distribution of cards will also
be made to the children of the Hershey
Industrial School of these ages.
Each child will receive a bag containing
candy, popcorn, an orange and a toy.
These packages cost the committee about
25c each, and have a retail value of at least
40c. This has been possible owing to the
fact that the Hershey Department Store
has sold the toys, candy and popcorn at
cost, and Mr. John Hallgren the oranges.
If you have not as yet handed in your
contribution, kindly do so at your earliest,
as the committee is desirious of knowing
just how much they will be enabled to
expend.
Don't make the committee come around
and ask for your contribution. Do the
big thing! Put your name down on the
dotted line at the first opportunity.
Let each one of us endeavor at Chnst
mas time to do our share in sending glad
ness into every home.
Hershe y Employee
Trans ports
Moonshine
William R. Garrison, a machinist in the
employee of the Hershey Chocolate Co.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. George Garrison, of
Bachmansville, on Saturday transported
Moonshine in his automobile with im-punity
and defied anyone to prevent him
from doing so.
In fact , he secured a license that will
enable him to transport Moonshine for the
rest of his life. While his cargo joyfully
intoxicated him and created an ecstatic
inspiration that knew no bounds, it was
not due to alcoholic beverages, but to a
bride, Miss Gertrude Moonshine, an
employee of the almond department and a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Moon-shine,
of Hershey Route No. 1.
The Rev. Pierce E. Swope, pastor of St.
Stephen's Reformed Church, of Lebanon,
tied the knot which furnished a permanent
Garrison which will insure protection of
Moonshine for all time. During the
ceremony they appeared quite happy and
without the aid of any other spirits jour-neyed
to the southern section of the county
to make their future home.
Leithiser and Shea
To Star In
Vaudeville Skit
The management of the Hershey Central
Theatre is always on the look-out for good
acts to be used as additional attractions on
Saturday evenings. This week an'act that
is out of the ordinary has been secured.
The act is none other than the two
celebrities, "Willie" Leithiser and "Bud"
Shea—two of the funniest comedians that
ever trod the stage. They will present
their laugh-provoking skit, "Sense and
Nonsense", and it is said by those who have
been privileged to witness the rehearsals,
that your funny-bone sure will be tickled
when you see them do their stuff. Don't
miss it—you'll laugh as you have never
laughed before. The first show starts at
6.30, the second show at 8.30. Two
capacity houses are anticipated , and if such
is not the case, our genial theatre manager,
Russel Zentmeyer, will be a much disap-pointed
man.

Augustus was a model guy
Much different from us, *
He went on Sunday to the church,
He didn't drink or cuss.
He prospered in his business,
He bought a classy car,
And, as he often boasted, hitched
His wagon to a star.
Augustus was too good a skate
' To stay long here below,
It didn't take him very long
This frail life to outgrow.
Augustus startedwut in low.
Then went to second speed.
Then shifted her into high gear,
And soon poor Gus had treed
The walking public and had ditched
A score ofpassing cars,—
Then all his four wheels cleared the
ground,
And Gus lit out for Mars.
He soared about above the clouds
Till at the golden gate,
His car slowed up, the watchman said
"Don'tdrivein yet, Gus, wait."
The keeper swung the gate shut while
He stepped to window one.
And said, "Give me the low-down, Steve,
On that son-of-a-gun.
Our records here show he's all right,"
The clerk told Old Man Mars
"The books here tell us he's O. K.,
At driving motor cars.
"He always minds the motor laws,
He never winged a guy,
He drives to one side and slows down
To let a man pass by.
"He's never had his ticket punched
By any traffic cop,
He never keeps on going when
The red light bids him stop."
"Enough," exclaimed the guardsman as
He opened up the gates,
"Now, Gus, drive round the comer and
Put on new license plates.
"Those New York plates won't go up here,
Our tags are permanent,
They last forever, Old Mars turned
His sign to "Go." Gus went.
He got new tags at Wmdow Two,
And, next, at Window Three,
They painted up the bus with gold
Till it was fair to see.
This done, he drove his golden boat
Around to Window Four,
They filled the old tank up with gas
Till it would hold no more.
This gas will last a lifetime here,"
The gasser said to Gus,
Step round to Window Five and they
Will overhaul the bus."
They put the car in tip-top shape
Around at Window Five,
And told Gus it would stay in trim
Long as he cared to drive.
Augustus toured about awhile
Through the celestial streets.
He marveled at their beauty and
He told himself, "This beats
The whole Shebang of Down Below.
That can't compare with This."
'But still," said Gus to his new self,
"There's something that I miss."
He toured about the avenues.
He tried the country trails,
"But still," said Gus to his new self,
"In some ways this place fails
To measure up to what's required
Down in the Earthly lands,
I miss the Detours up Here,—and
I miss the Hot Dog Stands."
The Bee's Neat in the Wall
One of the earliest recollections of Ye
Smokestacker has to do with The Bee's
Nest in the Wall. The Bee's Nest in the
Wall is to us symbolic of a certain fascina-tion
which things that were better left
alone seem to hold for us.
On the farm where we lived at the
mature age of three years, there was a wall
of unmortared stone on one side of the
entrance to the basement of the barn. In
this stone wall there abode a nest of fero-cious
hornets. Every time we went to the
barn it seemed we were drawn irresistibl y
toward the Bee's Nest in the Wall. Wc
always got peppered good and plenty. But
we did not profit by ¦Experience, and it
seemed as though a force stronger than
ourselves drew our little hands nearer and
nearer to the i)esky hornets' home until we
had "riled" them , and they had done their
dirty work. If this thing happened once,
it happened half a dozen times. It finally
got to the point where Grandad had to
carry us past the "Bee's Nest in the Wall."
Every man has his own private bee's
nest, lie knows every time he goes near
it , he gets stung. It may be drinking,
gambling, unwise investments or one of a
score of other lures. Some crooks make n
very comfortable living by studying their
victims, and finding out what their victims
cannot let alone.
O welll This is a free country and a
man has a right to get stung if he want s.
Says the Man with the Marble Ton, as
it is, you hear n great deal of complaint
localise the government taxes incomes—
hut Boy Oh Boy! if your Uncle Sammy
ever tries to tax a man's yearly outgo,
watch out , Columbia!
"Wc arc not going out this evening, "
said the husband , very emphatically, and ,
suiting action to the word, they went out
for the evening.

Curwood 's Stor y
"When The Door
Opened" Tonight
Lovers of the great out-of-doors have a
rare treat in store for them in the William
Fox production of "When the Door
Opened" which comes to the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday evening,
Dec. 10th, at 7.30 o'clock.
This thrilling tale of the great North-woods
was adapted from the •ovel by
James Oliver Curwixxl and directed by
Reginald Barker. A rare combination ,
since both men are famous for their ability
to portra y stories of the great outdoors—
the one with a pen—the other with the
motion picture.
"When the Door Opened" has its locale
in Canada and the company went to the
Canadian woods to film the exteriors . The
scenic effects are therefore authentic and
superbly beautiful. The stor y is filled
with thrilling situations, including a s|x:c-tacular
fUxxl and an exciting runaway.
Jacqueline Digan will appea r in the
leading feminine role as lovely Teresa de
Fontcnac who has lx;en reared by a cynical
old grandfather in a huge chatea u in the
Canadian woods.
Walter McGrail is the likeable Ctive
Grenfnl who has left his past behind him
and came to Canada to forget and start
over again. He is distrustful of all hu-manity,
particularly women, because of
his experiences and In—he thinks—a fugi-tive
from justice.
Hubert Cain is cast as I lenry Fredericks,
the man who has broken up dive's home
and who later almost ruins his life by his
unjust accusations,
Frank Keenan Is the old Grandfather de
Fontcnac, a crabbed old recluse with a
grudge against the world. Margaret
Livingston is Mrs. Grenfnl , dive's un-faithful
wife, and Ray Lnldlow the old
servant.
Woman s Day
To Be Observed

Thomas Meighan In
'Old Home Week "
Saturd ay Evening
"Old Home Week," the new Paramount picture, which will be shown at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Dec. 12th , at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock , offers the rare combination of an exceptionally inter-esting
story and a brilliant aUm
It was written by George Ade, famous American humorist , and serves as a star-ring
vehicle for that personable and popu-lar
screen idol , Tommy Meighan. Tom Gerughty, one of the best known scenario
writers in the business, wrote the film
adaptation , and Victor Heerman per-formed
the directorial honors.
Meighan has a particularly sympathetic
part in this picture—that of 11 likeable
young chap who fails to make a success in
New York and returns to his home town.
1 he fun begins when the local citizens get
the mistaken impression that he is the
president of n big oil company of New
York. For a time Tom is a veritable hero,
From that jxiin t the plot develops sev-eral
dramatic complications, but in the
end, Tom proves his business ability,
when by a bit of strategy he turns the
tables on a couple of crooks, who try to
swindle the townspeople through a fake
oil deal.
Wholesome, humorous and human ,
"Old Homo Week" is the type of photo-play
that provides ideal entertainment.
Lila Lee, Larry Wheat, Charles Dow
Clark , Max Figman and Charles Sellon
are among the prominent players who
appear in support of Mr. Meighan,

School Children Now
Selling Xmas Seals
The Christmas Seals are here again and
the school children are distributing them.
The official time set for their sale is the
week of December 7 to December 14. It
is hoped that the people of Hershey and
Derry Township will help this worthy
proj ect by purchasing these stamps freely
ami placing them on their letters and
packages. It is not enough merely to
purchase the stumps—they should be used
In doing so it will clearly indicate that the
user is doing his bit to stamp out the
dreaded disease of tutarculosis.
The Hershey schcxils sold last year 18,-
743 which melius only ulxxit 1111 average of
4.7 stamps according to our population .
This seems like 11 very low average. We
should do belter.

chemical would act on structures, as
houses, barns, etc.

Engineer, of Harrisburg, Pa., representing*
the Sterling Fire Siren Co., and Z. L
Glennon and A. S. Stauffer of the Foamite
Childs Co., were again present at the
meeting and gave a very interesting talk
on these various articles of use in fire
fighting. Mr. Wallace would like to see
a Code Blowing Siren installed in Hershey,
one that could be heard from 10 to 15
miles, and one which each and every
citizen would know just where the fire was
located by the tests of the siren, this full
automatic system with street boxes, code
siren and Tape Register for Fire House
would cost in the neighborhood of $180.00,
it could also be operated thru the Tele-phone
Exchange by a 10 Key Transmitter,
or the Central Station. This would elimi-nate
the Box System throughout the town,
and be a saving of about $1000.00. No
action was taken until next meeting when
the members will have had a chance to
discuss the matter.
