Thomas Meighan in
"The New Klondike '
at Park This Week
"The New Klondike, ¦ Thomas Mei-ghan's
latest Paramount production , which
arrives at the Hershey Park Theatre on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August
12, 13 and 14, is a story which brings in the
atmosphere of the Florida real estate
boom, with that of a baseball training
camp. Scenes are laid around a small
Florida town where the team is parked,
and the hectic excitement of the boom
resorts.
Meighan is a baseball player who, on
reporting for training, is told that he has
outlived his usefulness so far as baseball is
concerned . He quickly recovers from the
shock and stumbles into a real estate deal.
Turning several pieces of property over,
he skyrockets to prosperity.
The other players hear of his good
fortune and get him to invest for them.
Thissudden wealth wrecks the team;—they
all want to become realtors.
There's plenty of comedy and action as
their fortunes touch the peaks and depths.
Finally, a point arrives at which they all
walk out on Tom and return to seek rein-statement
on their team. He is left hold-ing
the bag on a big venture. There are a
lot of hectic moments before he finally
succeeds.
Lila Lee is featured opposite the star.
The story was adapted by Thomas Gcragh-ty
from a Ring I-ardncr original. Lewis
Milestone was at the megaphone.
Palmyra Wins Series

Song of a Commonplace Mind
Some bard s can sing
About any old thing;
The birds and the trees, how jolly!
But our one horse mind
You'll note is confined
To such tilings as Ford , train , and trolley
Some ]X>ets rave
Of queen , jester , or slave
Or fays that dance in the gloaming;
But we sing of the breeze
That plays round the knees
Of dappers the avenue roaming.
Some minstrels praise
The romantic old days
When knight wooed elegant lady;
Bu t we rave of how
The young couples now
Park roasters in country lanes shady.
And when it 's hot
We would much rather not
Sing praises of Pennsy 's climate;
We'd much rather yell
It 's hotter than - well ,
Than whatever '* ha ndy to rhyme it.
The Sad Port of It
We just can 't get memories of vacation
out of our head. As a usual thing our
memory is very short , but as regards the
mat ter of vacations it seems fairly normal
in its fu nctions. We just happened to
think of t lie g(xxl t inie we had renewing old
memories with Hank Overton , our one
tim e hired man. Han k is one of the fel-lows
who uses no adjectives , tilling in with
oath s instead. However we had some
intiircsting thin gs in common to recall.
"Say," said Hank , "you rememlxtr I-ew
Stroix; that died while I was workin ' for
your dad. Host horseman I ever set!. He
could put a team wherever he wanted them
His worst trouble was that he couldn't let
IU|iior alone. lie used to gel soaked and
run ( hat. hay team of his till they were
read y to drop. Well , he died from drink
when be was hardly more than a hoy. A
terrible drunkard he was. Hut th ere was
never a liner friend limn Lew when he was
Lew."
"Yes," chimed in 1 kink' s brother , "when
Lew was Lew lie was a mighty line fellow.
But he wasn 't Lew very often. '
In Ro. Sporting Chances
Some time ago we let drop the remark
that men who were sportsmen enough to
kick a rabbit into a run before shooting at
him were bum spoils when it came to
gardening. They never gave the w,eeds a
chance. And so on in kindred vein.
Well , no rabbit ever got as completely
away from a gunner as our garden got
away from us during the latter pari of
July and (li e first, part of August. Yuinp-in
g Yiniinyl Such weeds! When we
work in th e garden Just, now, we don 't
speak of tillin g the soil or anything like
(tint. We mention that we have been
mowing I he garden. The weeds were that
sturd y Hint we broke n good sickle trying
t o hack lliein down . What we. needed was
an ax e. If George Washington 's father
had had weeds lik e ours In his garden ,
little George would never have cut. down
th e cherry tree. He could have practiced
on th e weeds.
I Never Knew
"I never knew love could bo like this ,"
sighed Si Lent* wistfully as he (lodged the
electric Iron and caught the stew kettle
squarel y on his ear.
Says the Pessimist , th ere Is always a
renalssnncu for anything good , but only the
bad goes on forever,

The first event of the day was passing
through a severe thunderstorm, followed
by a baseball game between Lewis Emer-lch
's "All Moons" and "Sim" Flagel's "All
Stars. " The "All Stars" winning the
contest by a score of 12 to 9. Thirteen
hit s were registered by each team. Wm.
Brinker was the umpire, and he was ex-ceptionally
accurate in all his decisions (?) .
The "All Stars" were composed of
Howard Bomgardner, catcher; Cyrus
Garman, pitcher and 2d base; "Slim"
Flagel, 1st base; Robert Sattazahn, 2d base
and pitcher ; David Sattazahn, short stop;

demonstrated that he was champion.
Those who were runners up were Christ
Sternberger, Irvin Aungst and Rev. A. G.
Nye.
The dinner call was announced, and
everybody made their way to the table
with a right good will. The table groaned
with chicken and waffles , and innumerable
other toothsome things. After grace had
been said, a second bidding was not needed.
The chickens disappeared one after another
and the stacks of waffles disappeared as if
by magic. This continued for some little
time, until all were stuffed to a nicety. It
was said that Flagel had eaten fourteen
large waffles and that Lamberto Canovas
was a close second.
R. G. Hinkel acted as toastmaster and
short talks were given by Rev. A. G. Nye,
Rev. J. R."MacDonald and Rev. Edward
Wagner, followed by some stories by
"Slim" Flagel.
Clarence Mengel had composed a class
song, "Outing ", consisting of four verses,
and sang it at this time, joined in by the
members of the class. Prizes were given
to Cyrus Garman for having the highest
pitched voice.
The men didn't care about leaving for
home, so they remained in Shepherdstown
where they attended a festival given by the
Shepherdstown orchestra.
The Bowmansdale Band played for a
cake walk , and Elmer Gingrich and Roy
Ebersole by their sprightliness and "pep"
won a cake.

Begin Campaign for
Concrete Road on
Horseshoe Pike
Committee of Thirteen Citizens to
Ask for Change in Plans for Paving
Horseshoe Pike
A committee of thirteen representative
citizens'of Dauphin and Lebanon Counties
was appointed Tuesday night at a road-enthusiast
meeting at Campbelltown to
confer with Acting Secretary William H.
Cpnnell on the proposal to lay concrete,
instead of waterbound macadam on a sec-tion
of the old Horseshoe pike.
The members of the committee, headed
by Elmer E. Erb, of Hockersville, were
instructed to seek a conference with the
highway head and use their influence to
bring about the substitution of concrete.
200 Attend Meeting
Attended by at least 200 men and women
from the community, the meeting was
featured with the pep and enthusiasm of
those present who greeted the suggestion
for a concrete road from Hummelstown to
Fontana, Lebanon County, with numerous
cheers. That section of the pike between
Hummelstown and Campbelltown, has
become almost entirely abandoned' by
traffic because of its present condition of
disrepair and the residents gave evidence of
welcoming a return to the times when the
road was used as a short-cut between
Harrisburg and Philadelphia and was filled
with motor cars and other vehicles.
Freeman Favors Project
State Senator William C. Freeman, of
Cornwall, spoke in favor of the project but
expressed the doubt whether enough
money for the concrete construction is
available at the present time by the State
department. Frank B. Snavely, of Hum-melstown,
presided .
The members of the committee are :
Elmer Erb, Albert Shenk, Hershey, R. D.
1, a director of the poor in Dauphin County
J. C. Hess, Hershey automobile dealer ; F.
B. Snavely, John Moyer, Hershey R. D.;
Harry Brandt, Hummelstown R. D.; E. E.
McCurdy, lawyer of Lebanon; John Ging-rich,
Maurice Flickinger and Milton
Bomberger, Fontana; Arthur Alger, Camp-belltown
; William Horst, cashier of the
Campbelltown Bank, and Dr. U. G. Risser,
Campbelltown.
Irene Rich in "Silken
Shackles" at Park ;
Next Week
Irene Rich, charming Warner Bros, star,
is coming to the Hershey Park Theatre on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug.
16, 17 and 18, in "Silken Shackles," di-rected
by Walter Morosco.
The story, written by Mr. Morosco and
Philip Klein , concerns an incurably ro-mantic
wife and her flirtations which event-ually
drive her long suffering husband to a
clever ruse whereby he makes her see the
foll y of her wandering ways.
Irene Rich plays Denise Lake, beautiful ,
wealthy and flirtatious. Miss Rich scored
a sensational success in "Lady Winder-mere's
Fan," in which Lubitsch trans-formed
her from the teary, deserted wife of
many films, to a fascinating woman of the
world ; and she is said to repeat the bril-liancy
of this performance in "Silken
Shackles."
Huntly Gordon plays the husband, and
contrary to the rules of other pictures in
which he and Miss Rich have been cast as
husband and wife, he is no longer the
deserter but the deserted mate.
Robert Schable is seen as a friend of the
husband , and Victor Varconi as the Hun-garian

tunity every parent should take advantage
of.
There are many good reasons why one
should learn to swim, but hot one good
reason against it, says Miss Wike. Master-ing
the art of swimming is mastering one
of the most important means of preserva-tion
of self and of saving the life of others.
Persons should not be considered properly
educated , mentally or physically, until
they can at least save their own life in the
water.
Swimming is one of the best of all forms
of exercise for all functions of the body and
for all ages. It has the advantage of pro-viding
appreciable and exhilarating pleas-ure
and joy at the time of exercising, rather
than effort or labor. Because of the con-stant
motion in the water, while general
relaxation is enjoyed , and because of the
peculiar rotary spinal motions, the boc
develops grace few other exercises, possib
no others provide
Of tremendous value also is the physic
courage and self confidence that swimmir
teaches. From the time of mastery of tl
first stroke that sustains one atop tl
water one's self-reliance shoots up, moun
ing higher with the further mastery of tr
art of progression , of covering distance, (
attaining speed in the water.
As to the health value of swimmini

that this is very definite and considerabl
Doctors and health authorities are recoj

Miss Eunice Wike, a graduate of the
Health Education Course at Temple
University, Philadelphia, who has been
engaged as swimming instructor for women
and children at Hershey Park, has organ-ized
her morning swimming classes and
the members are making rapid progress.
There are two classes, one for novices
and another for the more advanced swim-mers,
who are desirious of perfecting their
strokes or learn new ones, and also learn
pointers on diving.
The classes are held every morning,
excepting Monday, and there is no in-struction
charges. Individual instruction
is given during the afternoons. Those
desiring to receive Miss Wike's instruction
may make arran gements personally, from
10 to 12 a. m. and from 1 to 6 p. m., at the
Hershey swimming pool.
