Hershey Park Theatre Offering Attractio ns of Sterling Merit "Sklnn«r's Dress Suit" and "Desert Gold** ar* the Movie Features. Four Bi» Vaudeville AcU at Each Performance • The program at Hershey Park Theatre for: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 19, 20 and 21, is as follows: Reginald Denny and Laura LaPlante in '¦•Skinner's Dress Suit." It's a comedy and full of laughs, chuckles and giggles. It's a riot, a scream and a knockout. Don t missit. : Emil Girard in "Shadowland. Armstrong and GUbert in "The Casting Director." - Clifton and Brent in "Rubber Legs and Rubber Necks." "Rounders of Old Broadway, featuring Neil Barrett in a spectacular secnic offering r—it's not a movie. The program for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 2,3. 24 and 25, is as follows: „ „ "Desert Gold", a Zane Grey story, featuring Neil Hamilton and Shirely Mason. "Desert Gold" is not a picture of highlights. It is not fair to pick out ten scenes and say: see these—forget the rest. The picture holds one's interest each and every minute. It is chuck full of love, action, romance, suspense, gorgeous photo-graphy, fine acting, beautiful scenery—or what have you? All audiences should Bento Bros., equilibrists par excellence. Mulicent Mower in a singing specialty. Nerritt and Oliver in an eccentric come-dy specialty, "Mirthquake." Walter Howland and Co., in "At the Cross Roads," consisting of comedy, sing-ing and talking. Reginald Denny in "Skinner's Dress W' This Week Do Clothes Make the Man? You'll Think So When You Have Seen This Rollicking Comedy Reginald Denny has earned the right to be crowned King of Comedy. This amaz-ing young actor conveys more with the lift of an inquiring eyebrow than many-others can with their entire bodies. Denny's flair for farce is not better exemplified than in his latest starring vehicle, the new Universal-Jewel, ' Skin-ner's Dress Suit," which will be seen at the Hershey *ark Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday of this week. The picture is a photoplay version of the famous book that was one of the season s best sellers, and is still one of the most popular of the works of Henry Irving •Dodge. , . , It is a story of the mishaps and adven-tures of a young married couple, the Skin-ners, and of their eventful rise in the social and business world. Skinner is an under-paid clerk. "Honey," his wife, sees in her handsome husband,a paragon of commer-cial acumen and forces him to ask his boss for a raise in salary. Unfortunately, the time selected by Skinner to brace his employer for the in-crease is a most unhappy one. And poor Skinner is denied his request. Arriving home, he hasn't the heart to tell "Honey," and he makes her believe that he has gotten a ten dollar increase. Overjoyed, she plans to spend the money in advance from their tiny store of savings. The first thing he must buy is a dress suit, in order to keep up with the social life of the town. That is where the real plot of the story begins. The acquisition of the suit, its resultant complications and the frantic efforts of the hapless Skinner to dodge his creditors, who arrive at the most inopportune moments, combine to make the perfect comedy. Laura LaPlante, as "Honey," his wife, is perfect in this role, which is different from anything she has yet done. Hedda Hop-per and Arthur Lake as well as E. J. Rat-cliffe and Ben Hendricks, Jr., give emi-nently satisfying performances. The rest of the cast is ideally suited to their various roles. It includes Lionel Braham, Betty Morrissey, Henry A. Barrow. William A. Strauss, Lisle Leslie, Broderick O'Farrell and Lucille Ward. Moulding and Knockout Departm ents to Picnic at Mt.

S. of i Hold Outin g at Laurel Dam Saturday George Feeser Won Cracker Eating Championship. Grover Sheckart Bit By Pike He Caught Mack McCurdy Star Pitcher On Saturday, August 14, about 40 members of Washington Camp, No. 705, and their friends journeyed to Laurel Dam where they had their annual outing. Due to the ram at noon and also toward evening the entire program of sports could not be carried out, but between showers a baseball game was held. Chas. Swartz' Sluggers were opposed by Nancy Hoerner's Hornets, the Hornets winning by the score of 8 to 7. The feature of the game was the wonderful exhibition of pitching skill by Mack McCurdy, of the Sluggers. Mack should have won easily but poor support was his undoing. It is a pity that Connie Mack had no scouts at the game for we feel certain that Mack McCurdy would be with the Athletics if there had been scouts present. For the Hornets, Trump, the cacther, talked a wonderful game and was largely responsible for the victory because he wouldn't let the umpire bluff him. Another feature of the day was the heavyweight cracker eating contest be-tween Geo. Feeser and Mack McCurdy, Geo. being the winner by 10 seconds. In the quoit pitching contest Jno. Gordon outdistanced his rivals with ease and won the prize. A number of the men went fishing and Grover Sheckart caught the biggest one. So big was this pike that it bit Grover on the finger, necessitating First Aid treat-ment. The day ended with a sumptuous feast which was greatly enjoyed by all, and Sam. Brenberger,.the cook, was awarded apprize for his services. Plans are being laid for a bigger and better outing next year. Dauphin Co.

BAUMAN-BOWMAN REUNION The Bauman-Bowmun family will hold their first reunion at Keener^ Park on Hershey Boy Scouts Win Large Number Of Awards Carl Smith and John Shay are First Scouts In-Hershey to Receive Merit' Badges. Other Boys Advanced to ' Second Class Rank '. - The Boy Scouts of Hershey Troop, No. 2, of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church re-turned home from the Harrisburg Council Scout Camp on Wednesday evening of last week in charge of Scoutmaster Rev. Paul M. Kinports and Assistant Scoutmaster Carl Smith. The boys were given trans-portation to and from the Camp in auto-mobiles furnished by some of the men of the church. The boys were in good physical condition and have put on a good coat of tan. The camp was pronounced a success in every way and was the best ever attended by Scouts of this district. During the camp stay a fine program of activities was provided and thoroly en-joyed by the officers and Scouts. The greater part of the morning was given over to Scout school and many of the boys were advanced in the ranks of scouting. John Shay, senior patrol leader of the troop, was awarded three merit badges: public health, first aid and swimming. Carl Smith, Assistant Scoutmaster, was award-ed three merit badges: life saving, public health and swimming. These are the first merit badges to be awarded by any Scouts in Hershey. Richard Shay and Charles Baker were advanced to the Second Class rank. A number of the other scouts have a few more tests to pass, after which they will be advanced into the first class rank. Some of the outstanding features of the camp were the campfire programs, in-cluding an Indian campfire ceremonial. This was a reproduction of the original Crow Indian ceremony.- The Hershey Scouts had charge of the program on two evenings, and gave a fine demonstration of the splendid talent that exists in the troop. The swimming facilities were of a high type and a number of the boys learned to swim, while others learned to swim with a greater proficiency. During the camp period the mess hall was a popular place and the food, which was well prepared by .efficient cooks, was enjoyed to the extent that many of the boys took on from two to six pounds of weight. A large number of Hershey people visited the camp on Sunday and were conducted through the camp by the scouts. Rev. Paul M. Kinports had charge of the religious services which were held in the amphetheatre on the camp grounds. The camp was run on a competitive basis and belt awards were given for various work accomplished. Among the awards that the Hershey Scouts brought back from camp weje as follows : White shark for a morning dip; axe for pioneering, campfire for lighting the campfire with one match; black kettle for best inspected table for the day ; three red stripes for the best kitchen police service; tent for best tent at tent inspection—this was won four times by the Hershey Scouts; red, white and blue seals for swimming; arrow heads for merit badges passed in camp; a horn for the playing of an instrument at the camp-fire. These awards have been stamped oh the belts of the scouts and will be worn at their meetings from week to week through the year. The Scouts wdl begin their meetings again in September with renewed interest which was created by the camp attendance and are hoping for another camp period next summer when they may again enjoy the life of the great-out-of-doors. Hersheyites Attend - ing Assembly at Selinsgrove The seventh annual United Lutheran Summer assembly is being held this year at Susquehanna University from August 17 to 26.

BAND CONCERT >' " -AT " ¦ ' HERSHEY PARK LIBERTY BAND OF MIDDLETOWN 35 MEN SUNDAY, AUG. 22th 2.30 to 3.30 4.00 to 5.00 The Proper Way to Look At It Don't get disgusted with the weather, William, Don't curse this heat and overdose of rains, Don't say that when the weather man was fashioned, They sealed his head shut and forgot the brains. Don't hint that you could hold his job down better. Could dole the weather out to suit the whim Of farmer, sportsman, carpenter , and sailor— Your chance of doing this is mighty slim. Why even such great purposed men as "' Lincoln And Washington had not the power to please The populace. Could you, you think do better Than such high-minded gentlemen as these? I tell you, Bill, we humans must accept what Is handed us, with all the grace we can, Enjoy the good, put up with the un-pleasant. Don't you agree that is the proper plan? Of course you do,—and now that you're converted To optimism—just between us two. Say, Bill, I'm sick of all this nasty weather, I think it is a rotten deal, don't you? A Change for the Better At last we have summoned our courage, mustered (or do they spell it mustard) our resources, and purchased a new bottle of ink and a half dozeasteel pen points. This should improve the quality of the column, making it less scratchy. You know what we mean. It ought to improve it the same way a new needle improves the perform-ance of the phonograph. The old saying, a good workman with poor tools is better than a poor workman with good tools, is true enough, but when a poor workman gets a grip on a poor tool, heaven help the result. Such a combination has been nt work the past several weeks, and we are sincerely thankful our improved finances enables us to apply the proper remedy. Weekly Complaint Not a week goes by but what we find something to be cynical about , the bill-boards, the picnickers who don't pick up the remains of the lunch , etc, Anything to complain about. This week we would like to suggest that some person who is independently rich leave an endowment fund for the building and perpetuation of an institution in which will be confined those jJersons who go to theatres to frolic nnd'tajk and razz the performers instead of lending a hand to the entertainer. (Some of them need it) , In the meantime till such an institution con )>e completed we suggest the pests above mentioned be equipped with gags similar to the one the dentist put on the columnistic jaw the other day. This gag was very effective indeed and ever since wo Iiecnmo ac-quainted with it we have been wondering why such a useful article should be con-fined to the dental profession alone. The Likeness The teacher was very much annoyed. "Thin schoolroom runs like a second-hand Ford," she complained. "Yes, il does teacher", piped up n bright pupil , "and It has a crank in the front of it and a lot of little nuts behind." Denned A pretty good definition of a liar was brought to our attention the other day. Here it is: A liar is a fellow who has no partition between his imagination and hit) intellect. Valley Forge Sunday afternoon saw us in Valley Forge viewing the hills made famous by Wash-ington and his little band of patriots, imagining to the best of our ability how things looked back In those dark days, and pondering by what a thin thread the deathly of our nation hung at Unit time. Reflecting on the spirit of freedom that kept these heroes fighting for what seemed a hopeless cause, we could not help won-dering what a queer slant the spirit of freedom has taken In the last few years. Youth seeks to sweep aside all ham|x>ring conventions and hails as tyranny nil at-tempts of parental discipline. The ladles have fallen in with the spirit of freedom by bobbling jthclr ^ hair, wearing slmnto dresses a . .i \ (Continued 6ft page 4$,' , ,j j The Smokestack 2fe Dee J ay Qee State Unable to Put Concrete on Horseshoe Pike Funds for Paving. Highway With Con-crete Not Available,* Original . Plans to Restore Road Will Not Be Altered Following the appointment last week of a committee to intercede with the State Highway Department and request the laying of an. eleven-mile concrete unit on the old Horseshoe pike; William H. Con-nell, acting secretary of the department, announces that the original plans of his department to restore the road will not be altered. Because some sectors of the road, which provides a shorter route to Philadelphia through Downington, have not been re-paired for years by the county, according to Secretary Connell, the Highway De-partment decided it was imperative to repair and resurface the section under consideration. The department never contemplated the construction of a new road, either of concrete or waterbound macadam, for several reasons According to Secretary Connell, the original road was constructed on an eight-inch stone base, which will provide an ex-cellent foundation for repairing the stretch. When completed this season, as planned, the stretch ( -will afford transportation a splendid highway and will have sufficient durability to handle the comparatively light traffic that will pass over it, the secre-tary said. Lacks Necessary Funds They are two decisive factors in pre-venting the construction of a concrete road. First, the Highway Department lacks the funds necessary, while a survey by engineers indicated that such a road was not needed, Connell says. Because the road through Campbelltown has been maintained in good condition, the High-way Department will not make repairs in that borough. The remaining portions of the road, which starts at Hummelstown, will be comparable to other macadam highways when finished. Eleven miles of the road will be repaired and resurfaced, according to Secretary Connell. "The State Highway- Department,", Secretary Connell explains, "is compelled to expend its money with the same dis-cretion as the individual. Any expendi-ture that is unnecessary or not justifiable by contingent circumstances is undoubted-ly a waste of money.'' A CONCRETE HORSESHOE It is natural that residents along the Horseshoe Pike between Hummelstown and Campbellstown should desire a con-crete pike instead of the macadam which the State Highway Department will con-struct there. Concrete makes a very excellent roadway, says the Harrisburg Patriot. If money were no consideration what-ever in the merry life of roadbuilders, it is probable that concrete would be u&d ex-clusively in all highway jobs, just as every cook in every home woulcfuse nothing but aluminum or copper cooking utensils and nothing hut diamonds or rubies would go into finger rings. The Horseshoe Pike is fortunate to get any improvement at this stage. It is faring much better than many other high-ways recently added to the state system, its improvement is largely a matter of finance and any kind of improvement is better than the corrugated trail it has been for some years. Boosters for the concrete road are not to be critized for wanting it, but they will be foolish if they permit a bad taste in their mouths if, as seems probable, they will get a macadam highway. Wm. Curtis Goes on Canadian Fishing Trip Last week Wm. Curtis, accompanied by his sister Jean, motored Uo White Fish Lake, Canada, where they spent several days fishing. Mr. Curtis didn 't run his Maxwell as fast as he generally does, as he is an ad-mirer of Nature, and he wanted to get an eyeful as he journeyed northward . Everything went fine and dandy until they arrived at Clayton, New York, where they had to take the ferry across the St. Lawrence river. Here they were delayed somewhat, owing to the fact that the smaller cars have to wait until all the larger cars had been ferried to the Cana-dian side. Mr. Curtis believes they would have been waiting there twice as long but for the fact that he informed the ferryman that he was from Hershey. The ferryman remembered having been fairly well treated by Oscar Bordncr upon several former occasions, and as a result allowed Mr. Curtis to proceed on his way. Mr. Curtis was appreciated of the favor and told the ferryman a funny story. Arriving at Jones Falls they were met by Andy Johnson, one of the foremost guides in Canada, who took the Curtis' into camp. Early next day Mr. and Miss Curtis, ac-companied by Mr. Johnson, were trying their luck. The fish were plentiful and the Curtis' were well rewarded for their efforts. Mr. Curtis , in particular , for the first time in his life , didn 't have to make any excuses—for the fishing craft was filled with bass and pike. In fact, they were as well rewarded upon the second and third days, Ui>on their return home Mr. Curtis almost got across the border with a wee bit of Scotch, but his nerve forsook him, and he hid the precious stuff under a tree, and he 1io|)ch , when he again returns, as he hopes to next year, to find it awaitinglilm. Boy Scouts Entertai ned On Saturday n birthday party was given at Hershey Park in honor of Carlysle Sherrick. The party was given by his mother, Mrs. Jjjnnlu Kclchncr and the Scouts of HerHhey Troop, No. 2, were the gucHts.

Ask Receiver for Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Co Mrs. Bertha Ruehl Selbert, of Cincin-nati, O., late Friday filed a bill in equity in U. S. District Court in Cincinnati asking that a receiver be appointed for the Lan-caster Chocolate and Caramel Company, Lancaster, Pa., to administer its assets, whether held in its own name or in the name of its subsidiaries, the Reinhart and Newton Company of Cincinnati, and the Dolly Varden Chocolate Company, 421 Laurel street, of Cincinnati, and the National Caramel Company, of Lancaster. Mrs. Selbert names the Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Company and William C. Bidlack, of Lancaster, Pa., majority stockholder of the company, as defendants. She alleges she is the owner of 50 shares pr preferred stock of the Rein-hart and Newton Company which was prosperous and paying dividends. She charges that Bidlack, G. Clayton Krone and Koscoe E. Rodda purchased the majority stock control of the Reinhart and Newton Company, and caused the Lancas-ter company to exchange stock with her. She charges that Bidlack, Krone and Rodda issued to themselves 2399-$100 shares of preferred stock of the Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Company for 518 shares of the Reinhart and Newton Com-pany and issued themselves 2399 shares of common stock, no par value, of the Lan-caster company for .53 shares of common stock of the Reinhart and Newton Com-pany. She charges this transaction was fraudu-lent because the Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Company issued a capital liability of $239,000, $53,700 worth of preferred stock. She charges Bidlack, Krone and Rodda having purchased control of the Headle Chocolate Company, Baltimore, Md., resold it to themselves for $138,158.36 paid chiefly in preferred stock at a loss to the Lancaster company of $59,641.64 in capital liability, Mrs. Selbert alleges that Bidlack and his associates caused the Reinhart and Newton Company to purchase all of the common stock of the Dolly Varden Chocolate Com-pany. She charges "the assets" of the Reinhart and Newton Company and the Dolly Varden Chocolate Company have been intermingled and confused and arbi-trary entries made on the books of said companies, transferring assets and lia-bilities, as between each other and the National Caramel Company for the pur- |X)se of hiding and concealing losses sus-tained through mismanagamenl of William C. Bidlack. She gives the operating loss for 1925 as $(#,003.95 and says the loss in 1926 will exceed this. She asks for an accounting and a receivership.

It will facilitate matters greatly in the grades if the children will bring with them their report cards of last year on which is designated the room which they are to occupy the coming year. High school pupils should bring tneir promotion slips with them. Admission of New Pupils Thursday, August 26th and Friday, August 27th, have been set apart for the registration of new pupils and beginners. Children who will become six years of age before the 1st of January, 1927, will be admitted at the opening of the school term, while those who will become six after January 1st, 1927, will be admitted in the middle of the term, which will be approxi-mately February 1st. ¦All beginners should be brought to the office of the Supervising Principal in the Grade School building on Thursday or Friday as stated above to be enrolled and assigned to their rooms. It is quite de-sirable that parents themselves brmg their children. If this is not possible, older members of the, family can bring them. This enrollment previous to the ooenine of school is very important and should not be neglected. The Supervising Principal will be glad to enroll any children any forenoon of next week in case it is not convenient for them to present themselves on the dates especially designated. Vaccination and Birth Certificates In order to comply with the regulations of the State Department, every child must present a certificate of successful vaccina-tion, as well as an evidence of the date of birth, either a birth certificate or a baptis-mal certificate, upon entering school. In case of the lack of proper credentials of birth, the same may be secured from the family physician or from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, Harrisburg, Pa. Parents should not delay to secure these necessary credentials. New Pupils Other Than Beginners New pupils other than beginners should report for enrollment on the same dates mentioned for beginners. Have You A Room to Rent? There are still a few teachers who do not have definite arrangements for rooms for the ensuing year. If any people of Her-shey desire to rent rooms to teachers, please notify the Supervising Principal, Mr. A. M. Hinkel, either by card or by phone. Transportation . The transportation of the pupils by trucks has been awarded to Thomas Fox, Union Deposit, and Joseph Urich, Hum-melstown. Each of these men is eauiooed with three trucks and the patrons of the school have the assurance that their child-ren will be transported safely under the careful supervision of these two obliging gentlemen. Notice to Students of Hershey Junior- Senior High School Re-examinations in all subjects failed by any members of last year's student body of Hershey High School will be held in Room No. 108 of the High School building, Fri-day, August 27th. The examinations will begin at 9.00 o'clock. In the case of pupils who are to take two examinations, provi-sion will be made to give the second in the afternoon. As was announced at the close of the last session of school, pupils wishing to take re-examinations must present evidence at this time of having studied the equivalent of forty hours for each subject failed under competent tutelage. Students are re-quested to bring notes stating in what manner these instructions have been carried out, properly signed by their par-ents.

Full Text | Hershey Park Theatre Offering Attractio ns of Sterling Merit "Sklnn«r's Dress Suit" and "Desert Gold** ar* the Movie Features. Four Bi» Vaudeville AcU at Each Performance • The program at Hershey Park Theatre for: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 19, 20 and 21, is as follows: Reginald Denny and Laura LaPlante in '¦•Skinner's Dress Suit." It's a comedy and full of laughs, chuckles and giggles. It's a riot, a scream and a knockout. Don t missit. : Emil Girard in "Shadowland. Armstrong and GUbert in "The Casting Director." - Clifton and Brent in "Rubber Legs and Rubber Necks." "Rounders of Old Broadway, featuring Neil Barrett in a spectacular secnic offering r—it's not a movie. The program for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 2,3. 24 and 25, is as follows: „ „ "Desert Gold", a Zane Grey story, featuring Neil Hamilton and Shirely Mason. "Desert Gold" is not a picture of highlights. It is not fair to pick out ten scenes and say: see these—forget the rest. The picture holds one's interest each and every minute. It is chuck full of love, action, romance, suspense, gorgeous photo-graphy, fine acting, beautiful scenery—or what have you? All audiences should Bento Bros., equilibrists par excellence. Mulicent Mower in a singing specialty. Nerritt and Oliver in an eccentric come-dy specialty, "Mirthquake." Walter Howland and Co., in "At the Cross Roads," consisting of comedy, sing-ing and talking. Reginald Denny in "Skinner's Dress W' This Week Do Clothes Make the Man? You'll Think So When You Have Seen This Rollicking Comedy Reginald Denny has earned the right to be crowned King of Comedy. This amaz-ing young actor conveys more with the lift of an inquiring eyebrow than many-others can with their entire bodies. Denny's flair for farce is not better exemplified than in his latest starring vehicle, the new Universal-Jewel, ' Skin-ner's Dress Suit," which will be seen at the Hershey *ark Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday of this week. The picture is a photoplay version of the famous book that was one of the season s best sellers, and is still one of the most popular of the works of Henry Irving •Dodge. , . , It is a story of the mishaps and adven-tures of a young married couple, the Skin-ners, and of their eventful rise in the social and business world. Skinner is an under-paid clerk. "Honey," his wife, sees in her handsome husband,a paragon of commer-cial acumen and forces him to ask his boss for a raise in salary. Unfortunately, the time selected by Skinner to brace his employer for the in-crease is a most unhappy one. And poor Skinner is denied his request. Arriving home, he hasn't the heart to tell "Honey," and he makes her believe that he has gotten a ten dollar increase. Overjoyed, she plans to spend the money in advance from their tiny store of savings. The first thing he must buy is a dress suit, in order to keep up with the social life of the town. That is where the real plot of the story begins. The acquisition of the suit, its resultant complications and the frantic efforts of the hapless Skinner to dodge his creditors, who arrive at the most inopportune moments, combine to make the perfect comedy. Laura LaPlante, as "Honey," his wife, is perfect in this role, which is different from anything she has yet done. Hedda Hop-per and Arthur Lake as well as E. J. Rat-cliffe and Ben Hendricks, Jr., give emi-nently satisfying performances. The rest of the cast is ideally suited to their various roles. It includes Lionel Braham, Betty Morrissey, Henry A. Barrow. William A. Strauss, Lisle Leslie, Broderick O'Farrell and Lucille Ward. Moulding and Knockout Departm ents to Picnic at Mt.

S. of i Hold Outin g at Laurel Dam Saturday George Feeser Won Cracker Eating Championship. Grover Sheckart Bit By Pike He Caught Mack McCurdy Star Pitcher On Saturday, August 14, about 40 members of Washington Camp, No. 705, and their friends journeyed to Laurel Dam where they had their annual outing. Due to the ram at noon and also toward evening the entire program of sports could not be carried out, but between showers a baseball game was held. Chas. Swartz' Sluggers were opposed by Nancy Hoerner's Hornets, the Hornets winning by the score of 8 to 7. The feature of the game was the wonderful exhibition of pitching skill by Mack McCurdy, of the Sluggers. Mack should have won easily but poor support was his undoing. It is a pity that Connie Mack had no scouts at the game for we feel certain that Mack McCurdy would be with the Athletics if there had been scouts present. For the Hornets, Trump, the cacther, talked a wonderful game and was largely responsible for the victory because he wouldn't let the umpire bluff him. Another feature of the day was the heavyweight cracker eating contest be-tween Geo. Feeser and Mack McCurdy, Geo. being the winner by 10 seconds. In the quoit pitching contest Jno. Gordon outdistanced his rivals with ease and won the prize. A number of the men went fishing and Grover Sheckart caught the biggest one. So big was this pike that it bit Grover on the finger, necessitating First Aid treat-ment. The day ended with a sumptuous feast which was greatly enjoyed by all, and Sam. Brenberger,.the cook, was awarded apprize for his services. Plans are being laid for a bigger and better outing next year. Dauphin Co.

BAUMAN-BOWMAN REUNION The Bauman-Bowmun family will hold their first reunion at Keener^ Park on Hershey Boy Scouts Win Large Number Of Awards Carl Smith and John Shay are First Scouts In-Hershey to Receive Merit' Badges. Other Boys Advanced to ' Second Class Rank '. - The Boy Scouts of Hershey Troop, No. 2, of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church re-turned home from the Harrisburg Council Scout Camp on Wednesday evening of last week in charge of Scoutmaster Rev. Paul M. Kinports and Assistant Scoutmaster Carl Smith. The boys were given trans-portation to and from the Camp in auto-mobiles furnished by some of the men of the church. The boys were in good physical condition and have put on a good coat of tan. The camp was pronounced a success in every way and was the best ever attended by Scouts of this district. During the camp stay a fine program of activities was provided and thoroly en-joyed by the officers and Scouts. The greater part of the morning was given over to Scout school and many of the boys were advanced in the ranks of scouting. John Shay, senior patrol leader of the troop, was awarded three merit badges: public health, first aid and swimming. Carl Smith, Assistant Scoutmaster, was award-ed three merit badges: life saving, public health and swimming. These are the first merit badges to be awarded by any Scouts in Hershey. Richard Shay and Charles Baker were advanced to the Second Class rank. A number of the other scouts have a few more tests to pass, after which they will be advanced into the first class rank. Some of the outstanding features of the camp were the campfire programs, in-cluding an Indian campfire ceremonial. This was a reproduction of the original Crow Indian ceremony.- The Hershey Scouts had charge of the program on two evenings, and gave a fine demonstration of the splendid talent that exists in the troop. The swimming facilities were of a high type and a number of the boys learned to swim, while others learned to swim with a greater proficiency. During the camp period the mess hall was a popular place and the food, which was well prepared by .efficient cooks, was enjoyed to the extent that many of the boys took on from two to six pounds of weight. A large number of Hershey people visited the camp on Sunday and were conducted through the camp by the scouts. Rev. Paul M. Kinports had charge of the religious services which were held in the amphetheatre on the camp grounds. The camp was run on a competitive basis and belt awards were given for various work accomplished. Among the awards that the Hershey Scouts brought back from camp weje as follows : White shark for a morning dip; axe for pioneering, campfire for lighting the campfire with one match; black kettle for best inspected table for the day ; three red stripes for the best kitchen police service; tent for best tent at tent inspection—this was won four times by the Hershey Scouts; red, white and blue seals for swimming; arrow heads for merit badges passed in camp; a horn for the playing of an instrument at the camp-fire. These awards have been stamped oh the belts of the scouts and will be worn at their meetings from week to week through the year. The Scouts wdl begin their meetings again in September with renewed interest which was created by the camp attendance and are hoping for another camp period next summer when they may again enjoy the life of the great-out-of-doors. Hersheyites Attend - ing Assembly at Selinsgrove The seventh annual United Lutheran Summer assembly is being held this year at Susquehanna University from August 17 to 26.

BAND CONCERT >' " -AT " ¦ ' HERSHEY PARK LIBERTY BAND OF MIDDLETOWN 35 MEN SUNDAY, AUG. 22th 2.30 to 3.30 4.00 to 5.00 The Proper Way to Look At It Don't get disgusted with the weather, William, Don't curse this heat and overdose of rains, Don't say that when the weather man was fashioned, They sealed his head shut and forgot the brains. Don't hint that you could hold his job down better. Could dole the weather out to suit the whim Of farmer, sportsman, carpenter , and sailor— Your chance of doing this is mighty slim. Why even such great purposed men as "' Lincoln And Washington had not the power to please The populace. Could you, you think do better Than such high-minded gentlemen as these? I tell you, Bill, we humans must accept what Is handed us, with all the grace we can, Enjoy the good, put up with the un-pleasant. Don't you agree that is the proper plan? Of course you do,—and now that you're converted To optimism—just between us two. Say, Bill, I'm sick of all this nasty weather, I think it is a rotten deal, don't you? A Change for the Better At last we have summoned our courage, mustered (or do they spell it mustard) our resources, and purchased a new bottle of ink and a half dozeasteel pen points. This should improve the quality of the column, making it less scratchy. You know what we mean. It ought to improve it the same way a new needle improves the perform-ance of the phonograph. The old saying, a good workman with poor tools is better than a poor workman with good tools, is true enough, but when a poor workman gets a grip on a poor tool, heaven help the result. Such a combination has been nt work the past several weeks, and we are sincerely thankful our improved finances enables us to apply the proper remedy. Weekly Complaint Not a week goes by but what we find something to be cynical about , the bill-boards, the picnickers who don't pick up the remains of the lunch , etc, Anything to complain about. This week we would like to suggest that some person who is independently rich leave an endowment fund for the building and perpetuation of an institution in which will be confined those jJersons who go to theatres to frolic nnd'tajk and razz the performers instead of lending a hand to the entertainer. (Some of them need it) , In the meantime till such an institution con )>e completed we suggest the pests above mentioned be equipped with gags similar to the one the dentist put on the columnistic jaw the other day. This gag was very effective indeed and ever since wo Iiecnmo ac-quainted with it we have been wondering why such a useful article should be con-fined to the dental profession alone. The Likeness The teacher was very much annoyed. "Thin schoolroom runs like a second-hand Ford," she complained. "Yes, il does teacher", piped up n bright pupil , "and It has a crank in the front of it and a lot of little nuts behind." Denned A pretty good definition of a liar was brought to our attention the other day. Here it is: A liar is a fellow who has no partition between his imagination and hit) intellect. Valley Forge Sunday afternoon saw us in Valley Forge viewing the hills made famous by Wash-ington and his little band of patriots, imagining to the best of our ability how things looked back In those dark days, and pondering by what a thin thread the deathly of our nation hung at Unit time. Reflecting on the spirit of freedom that kept these heroes fighting for what seemed a hopeless cause, we could not help won-dering what a queer slant the spirit of freedom has taken In the last few years. Youth seeks to sweep aside all ham|x>ring conventions and hails as tyranny nil at-tempts of parental discipline. The ladles have fallen in with the spirit of freedom by bobbling jthclr ^ hair, wearing slmnto dresses a . .i \ (Continued 6ft page 4$,' , ,j j The Smokestack 2fe Dee J ay Qee State Unable to Put Concrete on Horseshoe Pike Funds for Paving. Highway With Con-crete Not Available,* Original . Plans to Restore Road Will Not Be Altered Following the appointment last week of a committee to intercede with the State Highway Department and request the laying of an. eleven-mile concrete unit on the old Horseshoe pike; William H. Con-nell, acting secretary of the department, announces that the original plans of his department to restore the road will not be altered. Because some sectors of the road, which provides a shorter route to Philadelphia through Downington, have not been re-paired for years by the county, according to Secretary Connell, the Highway De-partment decided it was imperative to repair and resurface the section under consideration. The department never contemplated the construction of a new road, either of concrete or waterbound macadam, for several reasons According to Secretary Connell, the original road was constructed on an eight-inch stone base, which will provide an ex-cellent foundation for repairing the stretch. When completed this season, as planned, the stretch ( -will afford transportation a splendid highway and will have sufficient durability to handle the comparatively light traffic that will pass over it, the secre-tary said. Lacks Necessary Funds They are two decisive factors in pre-venting the construction of a concrete road. First, the Highway Department lacks the funds necessary, while a survey by engineers indicated that such a road was not needed, Connell says. Because the road through Campbelltown has been maintained in good condition, the High-way Department will not make repairs in that borough. The remaining portions of the road, which starts at Hummelstown, will be comparable to other macadam highways when finished. Eleven miles of the road will be repaired and resurfaced, according to Secretary Connell. "The State Highway- Department,", Secretary Connell explains, "is compelled to expend its money with the same dis-cretion as the individual. Any expendi-ture that is unnecessary or not justifiable by contingent circumstances is undoubted-ly a waste of money.'' A CONCRETE HORSESHOE It is natural that residents along the Horseshoe Pike between Hummelstown and Campbellstown should desire a con-crete pike instead of the macadam which the State Highway Department will con-struct there. Concrete makes a very excellent roadway, says the Harrisburg Patriot. If money were no consideration what-ever in the merry life of roadbuilders, it is probable that concrete would be u&d ex-clusively in all highway jobs, just as every cook in every home woulcfuse nothing but aluminum or copper cooking utensils and nothing hut diamonds or rubies would go into finger rings. The Horseshoe Pike is fortunate to get any improvement at this stage. It is faring much better than many other high-ways recently added to the state system, its improvement is largely a matter of finance and any kind of improvement is better than the corrugated trail it has been for some years. Boosters for the concrete road are not to be critized for wanting it, but they will be foolish if they permit a bad taste in their mouths if, as seems probable, they will get a macadam highway. Wm. Curtis Goes on Canadian Fishing Trip Last week Wm. Curtis, accompanied by his sister Jean, motored Uo White Fish Lake, Canada, where they spent several days fishing. Mr. Curtis didn 't run his Maxwell as fast as he generally does, as he is an ad-mirer of Nature, and he wanted to get an eyeful as he journeyed northward . Everything went fine and dandy until they arrived at Clayton, New York, where they had to take the ferry across the St. Lawrence river. Here they were delayed somewhat, owing to the fact that the smaller cars have to wait until all the larger cars had been ferried to the Cana-dian side. Mr. Curtis believes they would have been waiting there twice as long but for the fact that he informed the ferryman that he was from Hershey. The ferryman remembered having been fairly well treated by Oscar Bordncr upon several former occasions, and as a result allowed Mr. Curtis to proceed on his way. Mr. Curtis was appreciated of the favor and told the ferryman a funny story. Arriving at Jones Falls they were met by Andy Johnson, one of the foremost guides in Canada, who took the Curtis' into camp. Early next day Mr. and Miss Curtis, ac-companied by Mr. Johnson, were trying their luck. The fish were plentiful and the Curtis' were well rewarded for their efforts. Mr. Curtis , in particular , for the first time in his life , didn 't have to make any excuses—for the fishing craft was filled with bass and pike. In fact, they were as well rewarded upon the second and third days, Ui>on their return home Mr. Curtis almost got across the border with a wee bit of Scotch, but his nerve forsook him, and he hid the precious stuff under a tree, and he 1io|)ch , when he again returns, as he hopes to next year, to find it awaitinglilm. Boy Scouts Entertai ned On Saturday n birthday party was given at Hershey Park in honor of Carlysle Sherrick. The party was given by his mother, Mrs. Jjjnnlu Kclchncr and the Scouts of HerHhey Troop, No. 2, were the gucHts.

District Court in Cincinnati asking that a receiver be appointed for the Lan-caster Chocolate and Caramel Company, Lancaster, Pa., to administer its assets, whether held in its own name or in the name of its subsidiaries, the Reinhart and Newton Company of Cincinnati, and the Dolly Varden Chocolate Company, 421 Laurel street, of Cincinnati, and the National Caramel Company, of Lancaster. Mrs. Selbert names the Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Company and William C. Bidlack, of Lancaster, Pa., majority stockholder of the company, as defendants. She alleges she is the owner of 50 shares pr preferred stock of the Rein-hart and Newton Company which was prosperous and paying dividends. She charges that Bidlack, G. Clayton Krone and Koscoe E. Rodda purchased the majority stock control of the Reinhart and Newton Company, and caused the Lancas-ter company to exchange stock with her. She charges that Bidlack, Krone and Rodda issued to themselves 2399-$100 shares of preferred stock of the Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Company for 518 shares of the Reinhart and Newton Com-pany and issued themselves 2399 shares of common stock, no par value, of the Lan-caster company for .53 shares of common stock of the Reinhart and Newton Com-pany. She charges this transaction was fraudu-lent because the Lancaster Chocolate and Caramel Company issued a capital liability of $239,000, $53,700 worth of preferred stock. She charges Bidlack, Krone and Rodda having purchased control of the Headle Chocolate Company, Baltimore, Md., resold it to themselves for $138,158.36 paid chiefly in preferred stock at a loss to the Lancaster company of $59,641.64 in capital liability, Mrs. Selbert alleges that Bidlack and his associates caused the Reinhart and Newton Company to purchase all of the common stock of the Dolly Varden Chocolate Com-pany. She charges "the assets" of the Reinhart and Newton Company and the Dolly Varden Chocolate Company have been intermingled and confused and arbi-trary entries made on the books of said companies, transferring assets and lia-bilities, as between each other and the National Caramel Company for the pur- |X)se of hiding and concealing losses sus-tained through mismanagamenl of William C. Bidlack. She gives the operating loss for 1925 as $(#,003.95 and says the loss in 1926 will exceed this. She asks for an accounting and a receivership.
