              Thanks giving
Let us give thanks to God on Thanks-giving
Day. Nature is beautiful and
fellow men are dear, and duty is close
beside us, and God is over us and in us.
We want to trust Him with a fuller trust,
and so at last to come to that high life
where we shall "be careful for nothing, but
in everything, by prayer and supplication ,
with thanksgiving, let our request be made
known unto God"; for that, and that
alone, is peace. —Philip Brooks.
Toy land At Hershey
Store is of Great
Appeal
A small boy pedaled his auto through the
Hershey Store, and, running it in the ele-vator,
said "Second Floor, please." Ar-rived
at Toyland, he said to one of the
clerks. "This car is just as good as the
day I got it two years ago, but my dad says
it is cheaper to trade them in after a year
or two. How much boot would you want
for the big one, there?"
When told that the Toyland Garage
didn't deal in second hand cars, he seemed
disappointed for a moment, but he soon
recovered his good spirits and said, "I
guess I don't want to trade anyway. I'll
give this car a coat of paint and four new
tires and you won't know her from a new
one."
Toyland, on the second floor of the
Hershey Department Store, has a great
appeal for the youngsters. Its mechanical
performers, dolls, band instruments, games
and aeroplanes and electric trains attract
a great crowd of kids, ranging in age from
one to one hundred.
Hershe y Delegates
Receive Helpful
Suggestions
The week-end conference at Lancaster
for the Adult Guidance Council was one
that will long remain in the minds of those
who attended. There were about 50
present and a splendidly planned program,
aided by the beautiful weather and the
wonderful setting of Kepler Lodge, where
the conference was held, gave all the more
inspiration, as well as helpful suggestions
for the program material for the Girl
Reserves. The theme of the entire con-ference
Was "Religious Education in the
Girl Reserve Movement" One of the
hours was given over to the thought "How
relate religion to everyday life of girl."
This was discussed under several headings,
such as:
1. Through Discussions; on such topics
as Bible study—Girl life Problems—Life
and I—Life today—World relationship
and Service.
2. Through worship such as Devotions
before meetings—Girl Reserve Cere-monials—
Dramatic interpretation—Ves-pers—
Music—Story telling—Nature study
3. Through practice of Social Relation-ships—
Developing attitudes of individuals,
races, nationalities, organizations—Recre-ation
and expressional activities.
4. Help the girl to live with herself—
with others.
Miss Esther Dayman, NationaUSecre-tary
for the Girl Reserve Department was
most practical and helpful and gave a great
deal of material upon which to build pro-grams.
Miss Anna Owers, of Philadel-phia
, took charge of the Sunday morning
worship period.
Saturday evening at 6.30 a fellowship
banquet was held , after which there were
short talks by differen t people representing
the following parts of the Association:
Industrial , Board of Directors, Health ,
General Secretary Work outside the U. S.

Palmyra Couple In
Land of Sunshine
Miami, Fla., Nov. 18
Dear Editor:-
We arrived in the land of palms and
sunshine on Friday, Nov. 13, having left
Palmyra on the 9th. We sailed from
Philadelphia on the "Mary Weems", and
had splendid accommodations and a
delightful trip.
We were met at the boat landing at
Miami by a representative of Coral Gables.
We had luncheon and we then visited Enos
Fackler, Leon Harris and Mrs. Agnes
Longenecker, of Palmyra, who greeted us
most heartily. We then made a tour of
Coral Gables, and afterwards returned to
the Galcyon Hotel, where we spent several
days.
We were delighted at seeing the beauti-ful
dwellings, the cocoanut palms, the
orange and grapefruit groves, and the
gorgeous array of flowers.
On the 14th we made a tour of Holly-wood-
by-the-Sea, also Hollywood Hills.
This town is laid out in zones, with streets
120 feet wide. There are boulevards,
hotels and bathing casinos, banks, stores,
churches, school house and industries. It
is only four years old, but it now has a
population of 10,000. It is about 17 miles
north of Miami, on the Dixie Highway.
Later in the day we visited Mr. and
Mrs. John Snyder, of Lebanon, where we
are now staying.
On Sunday we plan to go bathing at
Miami, and to see them gather shells,
sponges and sea weeds. We will have to
cross the causeway, which is "A]A miles
long by 105 feet wide.
There are many points of interest here.
For instance, the Royal Palm Park, which
consists of a grove of cocoanut trees. Here
it was that the late Wm. Bryan used to
address his Sunday School class during the
winter months. Free band concerts are
given daily from December to April.
We can get good plate dinners, con-sisting
of meat, vegetables, potatoes,
bread and butter for 35c. Sandwiches
cost 10c and 15c. We were under the im-pression,
before we got here, that they
would cost us 35c to 60c. The rent for
apartments is high , according to location
and conveniences. Real estate is high ,
but there are many good buys. There
are about 3000 real estate agents in this
town.
Miami has a pojwlation of about 300,000
Here you can see cars from every state in
the union , quite a number from Pennsyl-vania.
With best wishes to our many friends,
remain
Sincerely,
Mrs. Albert Tschantz.
Get Plenty of Rabbits
In Virginia
John Lyons, manager of the Hershey
Laundry, in company with a gentlema n
from New Jersey, journeyed to Winchester,
Va., last week where they enjoyed two
days and a half of what you might call real
hunting. They only bagged sixty rabbits
and three wild turkeys in two days and a
half. However John says if they hadn 't
taken pity on the |xx>r rabbits they could
have bagged a lot more.
Mr. Lyons says that where he was hunt-ing
there is lots of room to expand. The
country isn 't hunted to death as it is here-abouts
where after the first few days of the
season a man is lucky if he can bring home
a solitary cot loutail as a reward for a day 's
hunt. As a result of John 's success we
ex|>crl that next fall many of llershey 's
s|X)itsnien will be invoking their machines
to curry llieni back to old Virginny where
the Trail of the lonesome Pine will re-sound
and re-echo with the bang of guns as
the Hersheyilcs give them one and then
"(he other barrel."

Thanksgiving, 1925.
(How It Looks to An Old Timer)
Thanksgiving isn't what it was
A score of years ago.
Those days we drove the bobsled through
A foot or two of snow.
Thanksgiving now is quite devoid
Of either snow or sleigh,
We motor over good hard road's
In this enlightened day.
Years back at groaning festive board
We sat with all the folks.
And satisfied an appetite
We didn't need to coax.
Today at stylish restaurant
We gulp the "turkey dinner,"
Then hurry to the football game
To see,if State is winner.
Though once we prayed "Almighty God,
For health and wealth we're thankful"
This jazzing day, we thank the Lord
We have the flivver 's tank full.
Item in Cider Press
(Apple Hill's Leading Weekly Paper.)
Reverend Bludden Thunder, of the
local church, delivered a very stirring
sermon last Sunday, touching on the evils
of gambling. Reverend Bludden Thunder
voiced the sentiment of his entire congre-gation
when he declared he is opposed to
gambling in any form whatsoever. No
one who was privileged to hear our pastor's
rousing sermon last Sabbath can fail to see
the folly of partaking in games of chance in
any weigh, shape, or manner.
As we go to press, the congregation of
the local church are undertaking ajvery
worthy cause. They are raffling off
Reverend Bludden Thunder's horse and
buggy. The tickets are fifty cents a piece
or two for a dollar. The money received
from the raffle will be used to purchase for
our pastor a popular make of automobile.
The congregation is so well pleased by the
sermons the pastor have been giving them
lately, especially the last one relative to
gambling, that they have decided to re-ward
him this manner for his long years
of faithful service.
A small boy went into the Hershey Post
Office the other day. Standing on his tip
toes he looked into the window.
"Any letters for ma?" he inquired.
"Who is your mother?" asked Mr. Bals-baugh.
"Mrs. Thos. Brown," said the boy.
"No, there are no letters for Mrs.
Brown," said Mr. Balsbaugh.
"Will you have some tomorrow?" in-quired
the iittle fellow innocently .
"Did you read in the paper about those
squirrels storing away golf balls?"
"Yes, and old-timer say it presages a
hard winter."
"It certainly does, for those squirrels."
Says the Man with the Marble Top,
they tell me an inventor is working on a
musical speedometer for autos. At twenty
miles an hour, it will play, "Sweet and

at sixty miles, "Goodbye Forever."

The Burning Question
What will we burn when our coal is
all?
That which the prophet hath prophesied
hath come to pass. The coal regions are
beginning to feel the pinch of the anthra-ci"
te shortage. Lamp this: WilKes-Barre—Children in eight classes
in the Pringle School were dismissed today
when no coal was available owing to the
anthracite shortage. The sessions may be
resumed tomorrow, as arrangements have
been made with union officials to provide
the needed fuel ."
Hold that line, Coal Pile! Reinforce-ments
will be here before spring.
"Yes," said Augusta Wind indignantly
to Adam Shearer, the Skunks Corners

Claire Windsor in
"White Desert"
Tuesda y Evening
Although it was made under the most
perilous conditions, "The White IX-scrt,"
the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pnxluction
directed by Reginald Barker , which is
coming to the Hershey Central Theatre on
Tuesday evening, Decemlxir 1st, al 7.30
o'clock, is reixirtcd to Ik: the greatest out-door
drama that has ever Ixien screened.
The terrifying beauty of the great
stretches of snow land at the top of the
Continental Divide in Colorado, known as
the White Desert, has Ix-en transferred to
the screen in a manner that defies descrip-tion
, according to advance information.
The story was adapted from the |x>pular
novel by Courtney Ryley Coo|x:r and is
based on the struggles of a railroad com-pany
to drill a tunnel through the Utx'ky
Mountains. An avalanche , started by the
blasting in the tunnel , sweeps away the
construction camp and the survivors arc
left without food and in the grip of a bliz-zard
to battle their way to the outer world.
Claire Windsor reaches new heights in this
picture, it is said. Pat O'Malley and
Rolxirt Frazer are rc|x>rted to have never
given liner screen ix>i t rayals as in this
gripping prcxlucllou.
A fine supixirting cast includes Frank
Currier
^
Matthew Bet/., Trixle Frigunza ,
Suilz Edwards, William Eugene, Sidney
Hrncey, Priscilla Bonner, Roy Laidlaw,
David Dunbar , Sojln , Milton Ross and

The scenario was written by L. G, Righy
from the novel by Courtney Ryley Oxjper.

Raymond Griffith in
"The Night Club "
Saturda y Evening
"The Night Club," a new Paramount
comedy featuring Raymond Griffith, that
funny fellow with the high hat ; Vera
Reynolds, Wallace Beery and Louise
Fazenda , comes to the Hershey Central
Theatre on Saturday evening, November
28th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock. The
picture is a screen version of the William
de Mille stage play, "After Five," and was
co-directed by Frank Urson and Paul
Iribe, who made "Forty Winks."
"The Night Club" opens with Griffith
at the altar with a girl a head taller than
he is. He is just about to slip the ring oh
when a man dashes in and shouts "Stop."
The girl turns around and recognizes the
newcomer as her long lost husband and
rushes into his arms. Then and there Ray
Griffith decides that he is through with all
women for good.
Later on his lawyer announces that he
has inherited a million dollars from his
uncle but to collect the legacy he must
marry a certain girl. Griffith decides that
no girl is worth a million dollars and tells
the lawyer not to slam the door as he g<x:s
out.,
So it is that Ray, with his uncle's valet
who is Ixxiueathed to him as a separate
part of the legacy, goes to Europe to find
some place where there arc few, if any
women. They select a little town in
Spain , but Griffith' s happiness proves
short-lived , for women of every description
soon seek him out and tend to make life
miserable for our "woman-hater. "
What happens after that—how he meets
"the one girl in the world" proves unusual
screen entertainment.
"The Night Club" is claimed lo be far
funnier than either "Changing Husbands"
or "Forty Winks," and everyone knows
what they were,
York Shamr ocks
Bow to Hershe y
35 to 23
Hershey returned home a winner , after
travelling to York on Thursday evening,
Novemlxir l!>th , where they defeated the
York Shanir<x:ks in an exciting game oi
basketball , by the score of .'IS to 23. The
locals defeated the same team al Hershey
earlier in the season in a derisive manner ,
but York has since secured several new
tossers, which greatly strengthened their
team and tlfey put up a tough battle before
acknowledging defeat.
Hershey led at half time by only a mar-gin
of live points, but after intermission
came back strong and never were in danger
the remainder of the game. Fasnacht was
the high scorer for Hershey with seventeen
ix>ints. Zorlman and Becker divided the
honors for York.

Hershe y Community
Chorus To Sing
Christmas Carols
For the joy of singing as well as for the
additional training of their voices, a group
of approximately 50 persons are members
of the Hershey Community Chorus.
While some of the number are pro-fessional
singers, having regular posts in
choirs of the town and similar singing en-gagements,
for the most part, this Chorus
represents the big opportunity to make the
most of their voices. Every member has a
yearning to accomplish the clarity and
sweetness and fullness of tone, and it is the
following of this star that bands- the
Chorus together.
The Chorus meets each Monday night ,
from 7 to 8 o'clock, in the High School
auditorium, and goes through a prescribed
series of exercises which are of general
benefit to the voices.
While many of the members of the
Chorus have no voices of solo calibre, they
are sufficiently strong and well placed to do
excellent work, particularly under the
training of Miss Marion Roth, music
instructor of the Hershey Schools
Some of the best voices have been ob-tained
because of the splendid opportunity
offered for choral singing. Soloists need
training in group singing and this is an
excellent chance to have such training.
The purpose of the Community Chorus
is to create an organization that will be a
benefit to the community, and also give
pleasure to those participating. It is an
admirable purpose, and the opportunity of
learning how to sing under a trained
director should be taken advantage of by
the people of Hershey and vicinity.
The Chorus meets at 7 o'clock and is
dismissed promptly at 8 o'clock. It is
Miss Roth's plan to hold the rehearsals at
this hour so as not to interfere with any
other activity that may be held.
A cordial invitation is extended to men,
women, boys and girls of the town and
vicinity to join the Chorus.
On Monday evening Miss Roth will
devote the greater part of the time to the
singing of Christmas carols. If yon love
the Christmas carols, and we all do, come
out on Monday evening and help to sing
them. The work of the Chorus has not
advanced to such an extent that new
members are not welcomed.
The most striking feature of the Chorus
is the lack of interest shown by the young
men of the town in its work. What 's the
matter, fellows? Are you afraid that the
Postofnce building will fall down in your
absence, or that the mail won't be brought
up from the station? Join the Chorus and
you will derive much benefit and enjoy-ment.

history of this department. Each town is
to have a page in this book which is to be
bound in Y. W. C. A. blue, with the town
cut on it. Following is the sentiment that
is being sent from the local association.
"Our place is Hershey, "The Chocolate
Town"
Which all who read, know is of world
renown.
But candy is not all the sweetness that 's
made
For character building is also a part of
our trade.
With the lxaiuty of nature , wherever
you look,
With , right at our doors, the deer and the
bnx>k ,
With the grass and the trees, and GIRLS
by the score;
Our program attempts to o|x;n eyes
more and more
To the "Abundant Life" by which we
are surrounded;
And build up these GIRLS into a true ,
well rounded
Character that will in every way portray
The purpose and Motto of our YWCA.

American Legion to
Sponsor Community
Christmas Tree
At the Community Christmas tree last
year 700 children were the recipients of
toys, oranges, candies and popcorn, given
to them by Santa Claus. Carols were
sung and the spirit of Christmas cheer
pervaded. It was a most gratifying suc-cess.
This year the American Legion will
again sponsor the affair , and at their meet-ing
on Tuesday evening the following com-mittee
was appointed. Ivan L. Mease,
chairman; Grover C. Sheckart and Miss
Elizabeth High. The following persons
were asked to supplement this committee,
as follows: Prof. A. M. Hinkel, John R.
Zoll, Mrs. Ezra F. Hershey, Chas. F.
Zeigler, J. F. Snavely and Rev. Paul M.
Kinports. This committee is requested to
meet in the American Legion room on
Monday evening, November 30th, at 7.30
o'clock, at which time preliminary arrange-ments
will be made
The committee trusts that the people of
Hershey and vicinity will give the Com-munity
Tree the same support as they
have done in the past. Do not let the
few do it—but let each one of us do our
share. The greater the number of dollars
that are gathered , the greater will be the
size of the package that Santa Claus will
be enabled to give to each big-eyed and
expectant child.
Do not fail to be a Santa Claus beyond
the confines of your own four walls. All
children look forward to the coming of
Santa Claus. They have faith in his
coming. You can help them to realize
this faith at Christmas time, bringing joy
and sunshine into their little lives—and
you. will help share in it yourself. And the
splendid thing alxiut it is that it takes so
little .
As last year each child 8 years and under,
will receive a bag containing a large orange,
candy, popcorn , and a toy. This means
the babies in the cooing age, the wee tots
in the mamma and dadda age, and up but
not over 8 years of age.
Don't make the committee come around
and ask for your contribution. Do the
big thing! Put your name down on the
doited line at the first opixirtunity and
unsolicited. The phone is al your elbow
-the mail man is handy, and you see mem-bers
of this committee everyday. Let'a
get the quota raised NOW!
Let each one of us endeavor at Christ-mas
time to do our share in sending glad-ness
into every home.
