              Miss Harriet Gurney Re-elected
Secretar y of Local Y.W. C. A.
The reports of work accomplished during
the past year and the prospects for the
coming year were most encouraging to the
Board of Directors of the Young
¦
women's
Christian Association at their meeting
last Monday night.
The treasurer's report showed a small
balance in the treasury, and the finance
committee presented their budget for the
year 1926 which was accepted as a working
budget and which allows for extension and
growth, which it is hoped will prove the
wofth-whileness of the service in the com-munity.
Many good words were spoken regarding
the work that is being done in the house,
and the pride with which the building is
going to be exhibited at the time of the
anniversary in April. The following com-mittee
was appointed to arrange the pro-gram
for the FIFTEENTH ANNIVERS-ARY
of the organization : Mrs. W. C.
Hackman, chairman - Mrs. Alvin Flowers,
Miss Marion Roth, Mrs. John Snavely,
Mrs. D. S. Graeff and Mrs. Harry Kaley.
The Membership Committee reported
three new members and one renewal
bringing the total membership of adults to
146, which shows a very healthy growth
over last year.
The General Secretary reported that the
lights had been fixed in the recreation hall
and everything is now ready for volley
ball and the first game will be played on
Tuesday night by the members of the Tri-
Y Club of the high school girls. Also a
chorus of female voices will be organized
immediately with Miss Marion Roth as
instructor and director. Anyone wishing
to join this Club may make arrangements
by seeing Miss Gurney at the Association
office. If possible they hope to start the
work on Monday evening, March 22nd, at
7.50 p. m. Classes in calesthenics will be
organized for two afternoons a week and
those interested in better health or general
physical fitness will do well to talk with the
Secretary about joining one or both of these
c1hss6s>
The Bible Study which is being con-ducted
during the Lenten season will be
held on Thursday evening at 7.30 when
Rev. A. G. Nye, will give the lesson on
Calvary.
The following figures have been sent by
the National Office which is most en-couraging
for the work in towns similar to
Hershey all over the country. There are
at present 131 town association with an
adult membership of 49,173 and a "Teen
age" membership of 91,333 and 262 em-ployed
officers.
The following women were appointed as
chairmen of the various committee which
will be activeduring the year 1926: Finance
committee, Mrs. A. Bowman Snavely;
house, Mrs. John Zoll; membership, Miss
Mabel Lingle; girl's work, Mrs. Angell
Mathewson; industrial, Mrs. W. C. Hack-man;
education, Mrs. Morris Wenger;
recreation-extension, Mrs. Alvin Flowers.
Before the meeting adjourned the Board
extended a unanimous call to Miss Harriet
Gurney to remain another year as General
Secretary, which she has consented to do.
Miss Gurney finishes her first year of
service on the twentieth of this month. She
reports that she has enjoyed her work, has
appreciated the co-operation of her volun-teer
workers and the sympathy and co-operation
of the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany
and believes at the end of another
year there may be a real Y. W. C. A. pro-gram
on its way. Miss Gurney will attend
the National Biennial Convention which is
to be held at Milwaukee, Wis., the latter
part of April.
Sacred Concert at
The Hershey Central
Theatre March 21
A Sacred Concert will be rendered in the
Hershey Central Theatre on Sunday after-noon,
March 21st, at 2.30 o'clock, by the
choir of the St. Joan of Arc Church as a
benefit for the St. Joan of Arc Parish.
The choir is under the able direction of
P. J. Ruf , of Palmyra, and has been con-siderably
augmented since the last concert
that was given in the church in January,
An entirely new program will be pre-sented,
and there is every reason to be-lieve
that a real treat is in store for all those
who attend.
Owing to the fact that the seating capac-ity
of the St. Joan of Arc Church is very
limited, it was deemed desirable to use the
Hershey Central Theatre in order that all
lovers of good music in Hershey, Palmyra,
Hummelstown and adjacent towns could
be provided for.
The program will be published in the
Press in due course, and the names of those
participating in the concerts.
Tickets, 50 cents each, which are now on
sale at the Palmyra Music House, St. Joan
of Arc Rectory and Alex. Magrini.

Dix Racing Driver
in Latest Picture
Tuesday Evening
Richard Dix is an automobile racing
driver in his latest Paramoung picture,
"The Lucky Devil," which will be shown at
the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, March 9th, at 7.30 o'clock.
That's the stuff!
"The Lucky Devil," directed for the
screen by Frank Tuttle, who made "Too
Many Kisses" and "Miss Bluebeard," is an
original screen story by Byron Morgan,
author of all the Wally Reid auto successes.
Esther Ralston is Dix's leading woman.
Dix, as Randy Farman, who demon-strates
auto camping outfits in a store wins
at a charity bazaar a specially built road-ster,
around which has revolved a sensa-tional
breach of promise suit between the
wealthy Rudolphe Franklyne, and a no-torious
show girl, Zola Amber.
Then follows a series of thrillfilled laugh
scenes when Randy starts out on his long
dreamed of cross country tnp. At a
tourist camp he meets and falls in love
with Doris McDee (Miss Ralston), journey-ing
with her mother in a battered flivver.
The mother, suspicious of young men who
travel in ten thousand dollar roadsters,
identifies Randy's beloved car as the one in
the famous Franklyne-Amber case, and
takes her daughter and departs, leaving a
broken hearted Randy to pursue in a
frantic effort to overtake the girl and ex-plain
everything.
From here on the laughs and thrills
build up to unbelievable heights, the sc*enes
including a bout between the star and
"Gunboat" Smith (himself) and winding
up with an automobile road race that 'll
pull you out of your seat.
Other big names in the cast of the picture
which is absolutely the greatest Dix picture
yet made, include Edna May Oliver,
Anthony Jowitt, new "find" who played in
"The Little French Girl" - Joe Burke,
Mary Foy and Charles Sellon.
Family Altar
Drive Planned
At a meeting of the Dauphin County
Sunday School Association last week, plans
were about completed for a "Family Altar
Campaign " which has been tried in other
counties of Pennsylvania with success.
Dauphin County is not alone in this cam-paign
as it is a tri-county affair composed
of Uincaster, Lebanon and Dauphin
Counties. The general chairman is the
Rev. Mr. Ober, ol Lebanon.
The Dauphin County committee la com-ix>
sed of: Chairman , the Rev. Harvey K.
Geyer, of Middletown - the Rev. IT. B.
Lingle, of Powels Valley the Rev. J.
Owen Jones, Ilarrisburg ' J. William Bow-man,
of Ilarrisburg - and Ivan L. Mease, of
Hershey. who is president of the County
Sundoy School Association.
' The plan of the campaign is to bring
more thought into the home life of the
people of our county regarding family
worship. After a survey it lias been found
that a very small percentage of Sunday
School people who represent the homes of
our county have any form of devotional
exercises or family worship In the home.
With the help of the Ministerial Associa-tion
of I Iarrisburg and the superintendents
and pastors of the various Sunday Schools,
an intensive effort will l)e made to educate
the people in the value of family altar
services. The campaign will run from
some time in the fall until Easter of 1927.

The Smokestack
| 3fc> ©ee J ay Qee )
Forward, March!
Can it be possible, oh can it really be?
This is the question that occurs to me.
Is February over with so Soon,
. And is it March?
WhjTdid they cut last month so very, very
short?
This must have had the salaried man's
support.
Almost before we knew it, we could tune
Right in on March.
In less than three weeks more spring's
glories will appear,
So hasten, happy day, we seem to hear
A hymn of thanks from those who shovel
coal—
So—forward, March!
No doubt some rough and stormy weather
yet will come
Ere onions sprout and bees begin to hum-
Let's get it over with, says this poor soul
And—forward, March]
Valedictory.
Farewell, oh house that has sheltered
ours and us these two winters past. Ere
this reaches the readers of the Hershey
Press, your columnist will have forsaken
his "house by the side of the road," and
will have taken as his domicile "just a
cottage small by a waterfall." In this case
the waterfall happens to be the park roller
coaster. As the high school valedictorian
says, it is with mingled pride and regret
that we leave these surroundings that have
so endeared themselves to us. We confess
to a certain apprehension as to what the
literary harvest is going to be over there in
the cottage small by the waterfall. Our
present residence is indeed the ideal poet's
corner. Here one may every Sunday
mark a scene as interesting as the parting
of the line of covered wagons on the Oregon
Trail. The covered wagons we have refer-ence
to are, of course, gas buggies covered,
some by insurance, some by encumbrances,
and some by both. As they come south
and strike the William Perm, some turn
Yeast and some turn Vest. There's your
parting of the ways for you.
Another reason why we feel apprehensive
as to the quality of our future literary out-put,
we are going to be deprived of a lot of
the inconveniences of living which are the
soil from which nearly all inspiration
springs. For instance, in the cottage
small by the waterfall there will be no
speedy trip to the pump on a chilly morn-ing
to whip into play one's physical and
mental capacities. There will be no
flickering oil lamp burning midnight or
early morning oil as the smokestack is
being built up from Ye Smokestacker's
blockhead, block by block.
If you get the drift, an easy life makes
for contentment. Contentment makes
for satisfaction with one's self. Self satis-faction
is the slippery wobbly, stepping
stone from which a person slips into the
current that carries all down its tumbling,
rumbling course into the Sea of Failure.
The waterfall by the cottage small is
frozen up just now, and will be until the
park opens. Meanwhile, until the water-fall
gets to weaving its spell in our poetical
(?) conscience, don t expect too much of the
Man with the Wooden Leg, the Village
Sheik, Mae B. Overweight or the other
members of our little family.
So again, as the sweet girl graduate
says, farewell, House by the Side of the
Road, and here's hoping you don't feel
any worse about losing a tenant who pays
his rent when he has the money than said
tenant feels about leaving you in favor of
the cottage small by the waterfall.
Aw reservoir, as the French put it.
Well, that filled some space, didn't it? A
funny thing about this smokestack, a thing
which distinguished it from all others,
savs the Man with the Marble Top, is this:
other smokestacks are built from the
bottom up and need only to be built once-while
this smokestack of Dee Jay 's must be
built from the top down, and the blamed
thing has to be rebuilt every week.
And as the Village Sheik chimes in, that
is the reason the same joke often appears
more than once- Dee Jay tries to economize
by using the same bricks over and over.
The Bare Facts Wanted.
From eastern town there went to the
Mayor of a western city, the following
letter :
Kind and respected Cir:-
A newspaper says that a man named
John Sipes was atacted and et up by a bare
whose cubs he was trying to git when the
she bare came up and stopt him by eating
him up in the mountains near your town.
What I want to know is did it kill him or
was he only partly et up and is he from this
place and all about the bare. I don't
know but what he is a distant husband of
mine. My first husband was of that name
and I supposed he was killed in the war.
He sings oase and has a spred eagle tatocd
on his front chest and an anchor on his
right arm which you will know him by if
the bare didn 't eat up those signs of it
b'e ing him. P. S, If alive, don't tell him I married
Joe White, for he never liked Joe. Mebbe
you'd better let on, as If I'm dead. That
is if the bare didn 't eat him all up. Please
anccr back.
Right on Hand.
"Brethren ," said the prohibitionist
orator , "If I had all the whiskey, all the
gin and rum and beer in the world , I would
fling the whole devil's brew into the river. "
'VVmen ," said the gra y haired minister,
rising to again take charge of the meeting.
"Brethren and sisters, alter this exhorta-tion
let us all stand and sing, 'When Shall
We Gather at the River?"
Needlessly Alarmed.
Sunday morning wo were sleeping
soundly when we though", we heard some-body
call , "I ley. Dee Jay, get out of tlwrcl"
We donned n bathrobe, thinking all our
customary Sunday mornings sleep was
shot to nieces. The voice Hounded like our
cousin from Up Where I Come From. We
answered using alf our vocal |x>wers. We
looked out the window, As wo looked we
heard the coll repeated , "Hey, you sons of
guns, got out of therel"
Wo went back to bed. It was the milk-man
conversing with his horses,
Willing to Pay the Price
A somewhat shabby man wandered Into
a very smart restaurant nnd ordered nn
elaborate lunch. At first the waiter was
dubious nlxm l serving him, hut the cus-tomer
's obvious oaso In his surroundings
and h'ls excellent choice of dishes reassured
him, At last when the bill was presented
ho nuked courteously for the manager, who
appeared presently.
"Good-day." said the customer airily.
"Do you recollect that n few months ago n
man came hero and had n jolly good meal
without paying for it?"
"I do, answered the manager grimly.
"And do you remember what you did to
him," pursued the other.
"Yes sir," sold tho manager, fiercely, "I
kicked him out of tho place. •
"Well then ," said tho customer, rising
leisurely and turning his back to the
oflklul, "do you mind obliging me again."

See "The Johnstown Flood"
Friday and Saturday Evenings
The Johnstown Flood" is coming to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Friday, March
5th, at 7.30 o'clock, and on Saturday,
March 6th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
To most of the older population today
this greatest of American disasters means
but a hazy memory of a calamity, and to
the rising generation it means nothing but
history, an event described by inadequate
words.
It remained for Fox Films to weave a
dramatic story for motion picture produc-tion
around this shocking event to show
realistically the ravaging horror created on
May 31, 1889 when the dam above the city
of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, broke and
millions of gallons of water rushed madly
through the valley destroying cities,
homes and human beings.
There is nothing more dramatic than a
calamity of this nature, and around this
powerful theme has been woven a narra-tive
that is filled to the utmost with action.
All the historical facts of the great dis-aster
have been retained in a powerful
dramatic story.
In a moment Johnstown was gone—
destroyed.
In less than fifteen minutes the cruel,
resistless destroying wave had come and
passed, having leveled the busy mart which
supplied the wants of 30,000 people- and in
the same brief time, at the very lowest
possible estimate over 3,000 humans
perished.
This is the gigantic sweep of the story,
which brings to the playgoers scenes never
before printed on celluloid by a motion
picture camera.
Aside from being the most spectacular
picture, a charming and appealing human
interest story unfolds as the film progresses.
This has been cast with popular and cap-able
personalities such as George O'Brien,
Florence Gilbert, Paul Nicholson, Anders
Randolf , Walter Perry, Janet Gaynor and
Paul Panzer.
But the outstanding feature of the pro-duction
is, of course, the breathlessly ex-citing
effect which has been achieved in
reproducing the details of the terrible
devastation that resulted when the un-controlled
currents of water swept through
Johnstown and its environs.
The sweeping away of entire buildings,
the struggles for self-preservation, the
ignition of huge piles of debris into a blaze
that reached heavenward, all of this—and
much more—is depicted in a never-to-be-forgotten
picture record.

Birthplace of
United Brethren
In Lnndls Valley stands a burn 150
years old , known as Isaac Long's burn , in
which the organization of what is now a
large denomination, the United Brethren
church, took place.
With tho words "Wo nro brethren ,"
accompanied by an embrace, Rev. William
Ottcrhcln and Rov. Martin Boehm, two
well known evangelistic preachers of the
middle eighteenth century, joined forces.
Rev. William Ottcrbeln was born in
Nassau, Germany, in 1726, and Rev.
Martin Bochm was l)orn on a farm near
Lancaster, in 1725,
Tho services In the barn were held on
Whitsunday, and it was then that tho two
ministers met for tho first time. Both hod
been engaged in evangelistic work.
Their exclamation at mooting gave riso
to tho title of tho church , United Brethren.
People from near and far, who cherished
the humble beginnings of tho United
Brethren church, visit this historical barn,

Spring Opening at Hershey
Department Store Next Week
(tThe Hershey Department Store will
present its Spring opening and fashion
review on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
March 11th, 12th and 13th, afternoons at
2.30 o'clock, evenings at 7.00. This
Spring exposition will he presented in the
wonderful fashion auditorium, second
floor. The Mannbt, Orchestra will furnish
the music.
Living models will display- the hew
fashions in clothes worn with the correct
accessories.
You will have the opportunity of view-ing
at cldse range and of having presented
to you individually the gowns, suits, coats
and hats that appeal to you personally.
Here you will see the latest in Sports
clothes that dominates the daytime ward-robe
of the young girl, the youthful matron
and the woman of more mature figure,
including models that one may wear from
dawn to dark, whatever the business of the
day.
The street clothes will emphasize the
variety of the established silhouettes; the
tailleur of boyish simplicity; the right
frock and the right coat.
The formal and informal gowns, coats
and capes will show the new femininity of a
mode which introduces lace, the lingerie
note, ribbons and embroidery.
Milady's hats will portray crowns that
rise to new heights; new interpretations of
the small, close-fitting hat for spring, and
the hat of widening brim looking toward
the approaching summer; the seemingly
unimportant trimming that is of the ut-most
importance—the jeweled pin, the
grosgrain band and the velvet cocarde; the
color schemes will show many variations of
the purple tones, verdure and palmetto
green, Italian blue and the new-old favorite
gray and navy blue.
Smart hosiery will be selected to match
the shoes it accompanies exactly; if one's
footwear is of black suede or patent leather,
the shade of one's stockings takes its cue
from gloves or hand bag.
The glove mode follows the established
fashion of the flaring cuffed type, but
lovely tones of gray, fawn, rose, green,
blue supply an absorbing interest.
The costume jewelry divides its favor
between the ubiquitous and always
fashionable pearl—and the new metal note
in heavy antique bracelets and collarettes.
. The Printed Silks for Spring are modern-istic
or delicately flower-like in inspiration
and call upon many weaves—crepe, radium
and rough sports silks—to display their
loveliness.
Woolens, were never so adaptable and
interesting. Soft kashola, ratine-like Mel-usine,
drew-weight tweedora, soft Shallaine
—all make up most readily and successfully
into both one and two-piece frocks.
Mr. Fred _Bptts, who knows what's
what in DarfTe Fashion's decrees, gives us
the following summary:
For afternoon dresses, georgettes and
taffetas will be popular this season. Some
of the thinner silks are worn with under-slips
of plaids and gay prints.
Skirts are very short. Those of circular
cut are very .full. Others are straight and
tight.
Sleeves are long and necks high. Often
the dress has an attached sash at the neck.
The waist has no belt.
Dark blue, with often a touch of red, is
a favored color combination. Greens and
greys are seasonable.
Two-piece dresses remain popular,- es-pecially
for sports wear. The overblouses
are of gay, light colors, often trimmed in
contrasting colors.
Suits have returned for women, which
are of masculine cut. The coats are usual-ly
double-breasted and short. The skirts
are short and plain.
Women's coats may be either double-breasted
or with capes. The cape coats
have fur-trimmed collars.
Shoes are gay. Two popular colors are
blonde and grey. Oxfords are returning.
Stockings of gun metal shade are popular.
Afternoon hats are large, all turned up
back, with very little trimming. Sports
hats are small and gay.
Accessories are selected to match some
part of the costume. Pocketbooks, hats
and scarfs often match- hand bag and
gloves are frequently of the same shade.
Handbags are larger. Umbrellas are
shorter.
Observe Missionar y
Day at Derry
Presbyterian Chnrch
The All-Day Missionary meeting of the
Derry Presbyterian Church was observed
at the home of Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Taylor
on Thursday. In spite of the disagreeable

Presbyterians to
Give Pension Fund
Will H. Hays, chairman of the laymen's
committee of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States, has announced the
opening of a nation-wide campaign to
raise $15,000,000 for establishing a service
pension fund to care for aged Presbyterian
ministers, missionaries and educators.
Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, is treasurer of the committee to
direct the campaign.
The pension plan , Mr. Hays explained,
ia based on insurance principles and will
amplify the church's present pension sys-tem.
|M*I
"The service pension fund , which we
have started out to raise this year," said
Mr. Hays, "will provide a reasonably
adequate pension for all servants of the
church, based on the average salary paid
the ministers, missionaries and teachers
over a period of thirty-five years. This
deferred compensation—as that is what it
really means—will commence when the
servant of th« church , in whatsoever field
he might have been engaged, reaches the
age of 65 years, or befo re, at a slightly
lower rate, if he or she is disabled . Pro-vision
is also made for orphans and widows
on a much higher rate.

very creditable manner. Mr. Barrow's
solo was received with hearty applause.
Prof. F. H. Gage, of the Millersville
Normal School, took' the teachers in a
hasty trip through Europe and vividly
portrayed conditions there, pointing out
the great opportunities open to teachers to
impress the pupils of our country with the
importance of the heritage that they pos-sess
as viewed through the eyes of the
people of Europe and the Near East.
Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert presented the
program of the Junior Red Cross to the
teachers, telling them of the great service
that this organization had rendered during
the past year. She made an appeal for a
contribution of one cent per week per pupil
for the entire year to extend this good work
Dr. L. Lee Driver, from the Dept. of
Public Instruction , spoke on "Making the
most of the School." In his usual dynamic
manner he made it clear that after all the
teacher is th* school and she has in her
control the aMcess or failure of many a
boy's or girl's future. He also spoke in the
afternoon to a group of rural teachers on
"Having a purpose and sticking to it."
Miss Hannah Keiffer , a member of the
faculty of the Shippensburg State Normal

the reading of several selections from

feature at the Hershey Central Theatre on Thursday evening, (tonight)
at which time the big Paramount production "Night Life in New York"
will be shown. Two shows—6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. Admission, 15c and 35c.
It has been many many a long week
since a cast such as is seen in the new Allen
Dwan-Paramount production, "Night Life
of New York," has been gathered together
for any one picture and which will be
shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Thursday (tonight) at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
Rod La Rocque, Dorothy Gish, Ernest
Torrence and George Hackathome are
featured in the leading roles.
—and that's not all either. Helen Lee
Worthing, former "Follies" beauty Arthur
Housman and Riley Hatch are prominent
in support.
"Night Life of New York" is an original
screen story by Edgar Eelwyn, noted play-wright
and producer.
Rod La Rocque scored a tremendous hit
in "The Ten Commandments," and has
since appeared in several Cecil B. DeMille
productions. Ernest Torrence, of "Cov-ered
Wagon" fame, has been winning new
laurels in such epics of the West as "North
of 36," and in the totally different role of
the Scotch shopkeeper in "The Dress-maker
from Paris." Dorothy Gish is
famed for her work in D. W. Griffith' s
pictures, and is one of the most popular
feminine players in filmdom. George
Hackathome is a well known player of
juvenile characters who was seen recently
in the leading role of "Capital Punishment
and also in support of Norma Talmadge in
"The Lady." Arthur Housman is also
favorably known for his playing of juve-nile
"heavies," and Miss Worthing, who
was outstanding in "The Swan," is worth
going miles to see as a typical Broadway
gold digger.
The adaptation of Edgar Solwyn's story
was made by Paul Schofield , who adapted
Thomas Meighan's "(^rning Through"
and Bebe Daniels' picture, "The Crowded
Hour." Allan Dwan has given "Night
Life of New York" a production which
brings the real life of the white light taxi-dodgers
before the eyes of picture patrons.
"Night Life of New York," was taken
entirely in New York I
