MISS BURCH AT WILLIAMSPORT After Five Years in Hershey She Wins High Promotion Miss Mary G. Burch has been elected girls' work secretary and physical director of the Williamsport Young Women's Christian Association. She was not an applicant for the position and the election being unanimous and coming without her previous knowledge was a great honor. Williamsport is-her home town and this fact adds to the happiness of the tribute to the remarkably fine place she has achiev-ed in Association work. Miss Burch graduated from the Wil-liamsport Dickinson Seminary and tau ght in the same institution two years. She then went to the National Trainin g School in Washington as a student-teacher, takin g up kindergarten work. After this she was a teacher in the Maryland College f or Women, one of the leading institu-tions of the South, continuing there for three years, Miss Burch early became in-terested in Y, W. C. A work and filled special missions in Scranton and Des Moines, la,, winning large credit in both places. In 1912 she was elected girls ' secretary and physical director of the new Hershey Y. W. C, A. and she entered upon her fifth year last month, In the very unusual and successful development of the asso-ciation in Hershey Miss Burch has been a leading factor, The graded club work, the plays, the physical work and the various outdoors enter prises have all prospered and grown under her enthusiasm and ini-tia tive, Her new work in. Williamsport will be along the same lines as in Hershey. The Williamspor t Sun gives much space to her election and In the course of a long article says, "The Williamsport associa-tion feels that. It is fortunate in having secured the services of one so able to take up the work of its physical department and at the same time ho well equipped for an u p-to-date administration of the Scout organization with its 117 members," Miss Burch will leave Herwhey ' the middle of Au gust and will take up her new work on September 1. GOOD TIMES FOR Y. W. C. A. The Sunshine Club of the Young Women 's Christian Association had si happy time on Mondity aftern oon, Mm, Emi P, llcrahey sent her car to take them for a ride and a happier hunch you never saw. It di d not. matter to them in the least that twelve were picked in at. a time, At the end of the ride they were taken t Hi gh Point to spend the afternoon playin g on the beautiful lawn, Refresh-ments were nerved by Mrs, Hershey, The Up-Tn-Da lu Club had a line time hint Tuesday evening. In the store truck auto 18 wen t to the water works hotel for supper. The Onward Club hiked to Palmyra, hud lunch in the town and hiked bach. PLANNING A BIG DAY Leading Business Men Come to Her-shey to Arrange a Joint .Picnic One of Hershey Par k's red fetter days will be July 14, when many will come from Reading and Harri sburg to hold an annual jubilation f or their own happiness and f or the honor, of Dives, Pomerby and Stewart. This f irm has the leading stores in both cities and this year the f orces of the two establishments will meet at Her shey and have the time of their lives. The com-mittees that came to Hershey to make the arrangements were: From Reading: George S. Pomeroy, Jr., Floyd F. Auchenbach, Frank Ermen-trout, Ralph W. Kinsey. From Harrisburg: J. S. Baum, A. J. Kline, H. J. Moyer, F. S. Heeser, W. A, Miller. ' r ¦ . The committees received every atten-tion from S. D. Clark, their old associate and colleague and from the park manage-ment. They were delighted with their visit and said- they would "bring large crowds to Hershey from both cities. REFORMED LAYMEN HERE Hold Their Meeting in Hershey Cent-ral Theater The two days meeting of the laymen of the Reformed Church in HersTiey Central Theater last week were full of interest. About sixty were present. Tliey were as fine a body of men as were ever entertaine d in Hershey and it was a matter of regret that they were so occupied with their work that they did not see all tie town and its interests. At the opening session John E. Snyder, Esq., gave them a cordial wel-come and invited them to the hospitality and facilities of Hershey. He praised their great purpose and spoke along the 'lines efficiency, ' which they were seeking to promote in religious effort. Mr. Snyder's remarks were warmly applauded and the chairman, William "W. Auspach of Milton made a felicitous and humorous response. The delegates saw the factory under very favorable conditions and praised it highly but they did not have time to get to the farms and to Highland Park. Rev. Dr. William P. Lampe, the general secretary, had charge of the convention and all the arrangements worked smooth-ly. Local church efficiency was the main topic and the reports of f our commissions were received and discussed. Forward work on literature was done and there was a general spirit of progress. TWs organization uses modern methods in its policy. It gives its earnest thought to efficiency and missionary system and then it circulates its reports broadly. For example it is fixing a budget system in its church organizati on, along these lines: . . ' ' "The various Boards of the Church suggest to the United Missionar y and Stewardship Committee the amount of money needed annually for their work durin g the next three years, somewhat as follows: Home Missions. $250,000 Foreign Missions ' 250,000 Ministerial Relief 31,500 Sunday School "Work and Christian Education..., 15,000 Total Budget for Benevo-lence ¦, $546,500 "The Committee, : after carefully con-siderin g these suggestions , reports the same to the General Synod , which Body further considers the recommendations and either confirms or modifies them as the case may be, This, then , becomes the Benevolent Budget for the whole Church. The amount is then divided among the District Synods and the Classes, an d that becomes the Budget for each Synod and for each Classis. The Classis then divides its Budget among the congregations and that becomes the Budget for each con-gregation, " This removes the old haphazard method and assures a steady policy, It is typical of the work of the laymen, Their session here was altogether successful and their members made themselves very agree-able, They had many pleasant words to say of Hershey, MR. HERSHEY'S HAPPY GUESTS Twenty-one of the Hershey Industrial School hoys were the guests <»f Mr. ' M, S. Hershey, Wednesday afternoon , on an automobile rid e to Harrisburg. Mr, Hersh ey 's eight cylinder Cadillac and Packard touring cars aw' Mrs, Snyder 's Packard car were used in making the trip. Mr, William II. Lcibklchor was in charge of th e par ty , The chauffeurs were Gor-man Anderson , William Frederick and Maurice Koser. MR. GORDON'S NEW HOME Dnvld Gordon and famil y have vacated th e Alvin Kettering property on the corner of 1'ark and Spring Creek avenues,and are, occu pying a dwelling^) ! the Levi Zimmerman estate In Spring Creek avenue recently vacated by Mr, and Mrs, George Wesner. Extensive Improvements are being made at tlio Kettering property , NEW PARK CAFE SEATS THOU SAND Big Addition to the Facilities of Her-shey Park Finds' Prompt Appre-ciation. Visitors Delighted With it. Lancaster Party ' Holds First Banquet., One of the f inest parties of the season came over from Lancaster in a flock of special trolleys and took possession of Hershey. They were the employees of the big department store of M. T. Garvin and Company, with Mr. Garvin at the head; and there were so many pretty girls that some of the Hershey young men' be-came i cross-eyed . Before they left Lan-caster they took a band and escorted to the station their associates who are going as members of the Pennsylvania 'troop. So the whole day had in. it the note ol high' patriotism. They brougnr. flags; there were flags on their handsomely printed program, and flags were all around them in Hershey Park. To this party fell the honor of inaugu-ratin g the new Hershey Par k Caf e, the big building which will seat a thousand persons. Their banquet was in the north-ern half and-it was a feast long to be re-membered. Preceding it were games and sightseeing that filled every hour of the. day and that culminated in the concert by the Hershey Band. At the dinner the Hershey Theater orchestra, under Charles Maurer played while the guests sang many songs composed for the Hershey outing, as for example: Sure "A Little Bit of Picnic" came into our minds one day And we just went altogether to a spot not far away, And when we landed on it Shure it looked so bright and f air We said : "We'll stay at Hershey for it looks so peaceful there" So we started in with all the Games to get the Picnic vim Some went Dancing, some went Boating, some even went to Swim" And when we gathered in' a" bunch to sing our Picnic rhyme We all declared together "Shure we've had a great old time." A Fine Place The new caf e is greatl y admired Manager Heilman and his large corps worked like beavers to get it in running order Monday and they succeeded. Every-thing went smoothly, The equipment is modern in every detail. There is a splendid gas ran ge of lar ge size and all the f acilities are systematized. It is a fine example of Hershey organization. A test of its qualit y will come with the crowds .of next Tuesday. Later a specialty will be made of chicken dinners for automobile parties. The patronage of the Hershey Cafe, last. Sunday went beyond all previous records, and this is on the increase. More automobile parties ' are coming and they demand substantial meals. They have strained the f acilities of the Hershe y Caf e and the new Park Cafe comes at the right moment to accommodate them. At the Park Cafe patrons may sit on the wide verandas and enjoy the music and their meals at the same time. MISS ESBENSHADE'S PARTY Miss Ruth Esbenshade gave a party in Hershey Park on Monday from 10.15 a. m. to 4.15" p. m. for a number of her Lancaster friends. The morning was devoted to sports , swimming in the lar ge pool being the main feature.

It was a great success,. not only from "the standpoint of numbers present, but also in the atmosphere of appreciation and satisfaction which marked the dinner and the speeches. At eight o'clock the banqueters started to gather. While waiting for all to collect, the room of the cafe rung with the familiar tunes of the Higli School songs. The banquet ready, the guests entered the ban-quet room in twos and took their places at the tables which artistically and symet-rically encircled the fountain which, sending forth sprays of clear and re-freshing water, seemed to drive away all lingering cares. At each plate a jack rose was found and on the table were ferns and vines. After a short prayer by Rev. N. L. Linebaugh, the banquet began. It was enjoyed by every one present. Each course was arranged in a most pleasing manner. Mr. M. S. Hershey made his appearance and in a- few words offered his regrets at being unable to at tend the banquet and at the same time expressed his interest in, and best wishes for, the Alumni Associa-tion.

MISS BURCH AT WILLIAMSPORT
After Five Years in Hershey She Wins
High Promotion
Miss Mary G. Burch has been elected
girls' work secretary and physical director
of the Williamsport Young Women's
Christian Association. She was not an
applicant for the position and the election
being unanimous and coming without her
previous knowledge was a great honor.
Williamsport is-her home town and this
fact adds to the happiness of the tribute
to the remarkably fine place she has achiev-ed
in Association work.
Miss Burch graduated from the Wil-liamsport
Dickinson Seminary and tau ght
in the same institution two years. She
then went to the National Trainin g School
in Washington as a student-teacher,
takin g up kindergarten work. After this
she was a teacher in the Maryland College
f or Women, one of the leading institu-tions
of the South, continuing there for
three years, Miss Burch early became in-terested
in Y, W. C. A work and filled
special missions in Scranton and Des
Moines, la,, winning large credit in both
places.
In 1912 she was elected girls ' secretary
and physical director of the new Hershey
Y. W. C, A. and she entered upon her
fifth year last month, In the very unusual
and successful development of the asso-ciation
in Hershey Miss Burch has been a
leading factor, The graded club work, the
plays, the physical work and the various
outdoors enter prises have all prospered
and grown under her enthusiasm and ini-tia
tive, Her new work in. Williamsport
will be along the same lines as in Hershey.
The Williamspor t Sun gives much space
to her election and In the course of a long
article says, "The Williamsport associa-tion
feels that. It is fortunate in having
secured the services of one so able to take
up the work of its physical department and
at the same time ho well equipped for
an u p-to-date administration of the Scout
organization with its 117 members,"
Miss Burch will leave Herwhey ' the
middle of Au gust and will take up her new
work on September 1.

the honor, of Dives, Pomerby and Stewart.

establishments will meet at Her shey and
have the time of their lives. The com-mittees
that came to Hershey to make the
arrangements were:
From Reading: George S. Pomeroy,
Jr., Floyd F. Auchenbach, Frank Ermen-trout,
Ralph W. Kinsey.
From Harrisburg: J. S. Baum, A. J.

REFORMED LAYMEN HERE
Hold Their Meeting in Hershey Cent-ral
Theater
The two days meeting of the laymen of
the Reformed Church in HersTiey Central
Theater last week were full of interest.
About sixty were present. Tliey were as
fine a body of men as were ever entertaine d
in Hershey and it was a matter of regret
that they were so occupied with their
work that they did not see all tie town and
its interests. At the opening session John
E. Snyder, Esq., gave them a cordial wel-come
and invited them to the hospitality
and facilities of Hershey. He praised their
great purpose and spoke along the 'lines
efficiency, ' which they were seeking to
promote in religious effort. Mr. Snyder's
remarks were warmly applauded and the
chairman, William "W. Auspach of Milton
made a felicitous and humorous response.
The delegates saw the factory under
very favorable conditions and praised it
highly but they did not have time to get
to the farms and to Highland Park.
Rev. Dr. William P. Lampe, the general
secretary, had charge of the convention
and all the arrangements worked smooth-ly.
Local church efficiency was the main
topic and the reports of f our commissions
were received and discussed. Forward
work on literature was done and there
was a general spirit of progress. TWs
organization uses modern methods in
its policy. It gives its earnest thought
to efficiency and missionary system and
then it circulates its reports broadly.
For example it is fixing a budget system in
its church organizati on, along these
lines: . . ' '
"The various Boards of the Church
suggest to the United Missionar y and
Stewardship Committee the amount of
money needed annually for their work
durin g the next three years, somewhat as
follows:
Home Missions. $250,000
Foreign Missions ' 250,000
Ministerial Relief 31,500
Sunday School "Work and
Christian Education..., 15,000
Total Budget for Benevo-lence
¦, $546,500
"The Committee, : after carefully con-siderin
g these suggestions , reports the
same to the General Synod , which Body
further considers the recommendations
and either confirms or modifies them as the
case may be, This, then , becomes the
Benevolent Budget for the whole Church.
The amount is then divided among the
District Synods and the Classes, an d that
becomes the Budget for each Synod and
for each Classis. The Classis then divides
its Budget among the congregations and
that becomes the Budget for each con-gregation,
"
This removes the old haphazard method
and assures a steady policy, It is typical
of the work of the laymen, Their session
here was altogether successful and their
members made themselves very agree-able,
They had many pleasant words to
say of Hershey,

NEW PARK CAFE
SEATS THOU SAND
Big Addition to the Facilities of Her-shey
Park Finds' Prompt Appre-ciation.
Visitors Delighted
With it. Lancaster Party '
Holds First Banquet.,
One of the f inest parties of the season
came over from Lancaster in a flock of
special trolleys and took possession of
Hershey. They were the employees of
the big department store of M. T. Garvin
and Company, with Mr. Garvin at the
head; and there were so many pretty girls
that some of the Hershey young men' be-came
i cross-eyed . Before they left Lan-caster
they took a band and escorted to
the station their associates who are going
as members of the Pennsylvania 'troop. So
the whole day had in. it the note ol high'
patriotism. They brougnr. flags; there
were flags on their handsomely printed
program, and flags were all around them
in Hershey Park.
To this party fell the honor of inaugu-ratin
g the new Hershey Par k Caf e, the
big building which will seat a thousand
persons. Their banquet was in the north-ern
half and-it was a feast long to be re-membered.
Preceding it were games and
sightseeing that filled every hour of the.
day and that culminated in the concert
by the Hershey Band. At the dinner the
Hershey Theater orchestra, under Charles
Maurer played while the guests sang
many songs composed for the Hershey
outing, as for example:
Sure "A Little Bit of Picnic" came into
our minds one day
And we just went altogether to a spot not
far away,
And when we landed on it Shure it looked
so bright and f air
We said : "We'll stay at Hershey for it
looks so peaceful there"
So we started in with all the Games to
get the Picnic vim
Some went Dancing, some went Boating,
some even went to Swim"
And when we gathered in' a" bunch to sing
our Picnic rhyme
We all declared together "Shure we've
had a great old time."
A Fine Place
The new caf e is greatl y admired
Manager Heilman and his large corps
worked like beavers to get it in running
order Monday and they succeeded. Every-thing
went smoothly, The equipment is
modern in every detail. There is a splendid
gas ran ge of lar ge size and all the f acilities
are systematized. It is a fine example
of Hershey organization. A test of its
qualit y will come with the crowds .of next
Tuesday. Later a specialty will be made
of chicken dinners for automobile parties.
The patronage of the Hershey Cafe,
last. Sunday went beyond all previous
records, and this is on the increase. More
automobile parties ' are coming and they
demand substantial meals. They have
strained the f acilities of the Hershe y Caf e
and the new Park Cafe comes at the right
moment to accommodate them. At the
Park Cafe patrons may sit on the wide
verandas and enjoy the music and their
meals at the same time.

The annual banquet of the Derry
township High School was held last
Thursday evening at the Hershey Cafe.
It was a great success,. not only from "the
standpoint of numbers present, but also
in the atmosphere of appreciation and
satisfaction which marked the dinner and
the speeches.
At eight o'clock the banqueters started
to gather. While waiting for all to collect,
the room of the cafe rung with the familiar
tunes of the Higli School songs. The
banquet ready, the guests entered the ban-quet
room in twos and took their places
at the tables which artistically and symet-rically
encircled the fountain which,
sending forth sprays of clear and re-freshing
water, seemed to drive away all
lingering cares.
At each plate a jack rose was found and
on the table were ferns and vines.
After a short prayer by Rev. N. L.
Linebaugh, the banquet began. It was
enjoyed by every one present. Each course
was arranged in a most pleasing manner.
Mr. M. S. Hershey made his appearance
and in a- few words offered his regrets at
being unable to at tend the banquet and
at the same time expressed his interest in,
and best wishes for, the Alumni Associa-tion.

complimentary remarks, introduced the
