              Tuesday, Fasnacht Day
"Press " Force Remembere d By Campbell
town Friends
a
" JAST Tuesday was Fasnacht Day,
and many were the hours that
i ; housewives spent in preparing
a liberal supply of doughnuts,
fat cakes and fasnachts that the day
might be appropriately observed.
The Press has good reason to re
member the day and to thank Mrs. G.
C. Wolf ersberger for the . box-' of .fas-nachts
. that she sent from Campbell
town. They Were that" well known
variety-the kind mother used to make.
Some trouble was experienced in get-ting
them to the PRESS office but those
that really got. here -were quickly dis-posed
of.
Mrs. Wolf ersberger asks "Who's a
fasnacht?" Well, we have several on
our mailing list. Perhaps the baby
boy born on Fasnacht Day to Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Fasnacht, of Union Deposit,
might be an appropriate answer to her
question. -

"Press " Has Nearly Completed Work of
Countin g Inhabitants
rrrj lHEN anyone asks how many peo-
1 i J P*e ^ve 'n Hershey, the answer
^U| they receive is invariably very
¦ '¦¦
. ' ¦ " indefinite. Because the town
of Hershey is so new and growing, no
one has a very definite idea of how
many people live here
^
In order to
arrive at some definite and accurate
figures regarding the population of our
town the Press is taking a census of
Hershey; In the very near future the
work will be completed!; v;
As far as the work has gone the fig-ures
are as follows: Number of people
on and south of Chocolate avenue, ex-clusive
of the Inn and Y. M..C. A. dor-mitory,
248 ; Trinidad avenue, 167 ;
Dairy avenue, or Spring Creek Road,
132; Derry Church, 171; a total of 718.
• When the census is finished a com-plete
directory containing the name of
every inhabitant will be published in
such form that it can be distributed.
