MANY NEW HOMES IN HOME TOWN Growth of Hershey; Continues Stead-ily and Includes Residences of the Finer Kind With All Moder n Improvements. Each Has a Yard and Garden " ' A dozen new homes have, been added to Hershey within the year and work is now being' started on new operations. There has always been careful avoid-ance of boom methods in Hershey's de-velopements. Its whole appeal is" as a sane, orderly, open, air community where health, is the prime consideration, and so the new population of Hershey. is of a superior class of people who want the happy life amid right surroundings. Every new home has a yard and garden. The architecture calls for many windows, so it may be said there is not a dark room in the town. The new homes are carrying out the idea -splendidly and they are equipped with every modern device. They represent efficiency as well as com-fort and attractiveness. Rohrer Snavely has begun excavations for his new home in East Hershey. D. Frank Magee will soon start excava-tions for his new residence in East Her-shey. John E. Snyder, Joseph R. Snavely and John F. Snavely have their plans for East Hershey homes in the hands of the archi-tects. The new residence at the corner of Homestead Avenue and Areba street has been completed.an d occupied by James Millard and family. Mr. Yingst will soon begin the erection of a new double brick dwelling on Cocoa Avenue next to the property of Barbara Peters. G. R. Potts is building a residence on Cocoa Avenue, south of Areba street, and the building is ready for the roof. John Hershey has finished his new home on Granada Avenue. New homes include those of Mr. Stover and Frank Tinney and others which have been mentioned in the Press. On the other side of Spring Creek a large house has been built by the Hershey Improvement Company. The big car barn is a new object on the Hershey landscape. The steel work is going up and the building is showing size and impressiveness. Important work is being done on the farms. At Gro-More, now occupied by Frank B. Snavely, the buildings have been much improved. At number two Fox Farm, occupied by Joseph Cramer, the reconstruction has been general. Other work includes the removal of the old Press building in Hershey Park , the removal of the old farmhouse and the barn on the mansion grounds,.the com-pletion of the new Zoo, and the finishing touches to the new Hershey Press build-ing. Labor conditions are restricting con-struction everywhere and they are' having some influence in this region, but in spite of them a considerable amount of work is being done in and around Hershey at the present time. MANY HERE SUNDAY Thousands Came By Street Car and Automobile The beauti ful weather of Sunday brought several thousand people to Her-shey. The trolley cars were comfortably filled throughout the clay, the Elizabeth-town line doing unusually well, Automobiles were out in force, They were passing In boll) directions from early morning to midnight. Mirny of them stopped in Hershey. There were more visitors to the top of Highland Park than on any previous day of the year. The Round Barn, I he lndimtrinl School, Clovordule, the mansion grounds, the Park and the Zoo were points of attrac-tion. There were numerous (lining parlies ;il the Hershey. Cafe and the Ilersliey Quick Lunch litul an unusually large patronage , All the church services were, well at-tended. Many Hci'shoy folks took long walks over t lie hills, HERSHEY CHORAL SOCIETY Ann ouncement of Its Second Concert For May 19 The Ilersliey Choral Society will give its second concert on the evening of May 15) in Hie Hershey Central Theater , The chart will be open May 10.

S. Hershey Grounds Brought . Out a Large . Number of Guests Sunday Improvements Made and in Progress. Details Quite a showing of golfers ushered in the Spring Sunday on the private - course on the High Point grounds. The day was ideal for the sport and some of the guests played both morning and afternoon , spend-ing the whole day there. Coming and going was a large gallery of Spring . visitors and the procession of automobiles along Chocolate. Avenue was continuous; so the whole scene was delightfully alive and interesting. The removal of the farm house hear the center of the course had made a great improvement. It has taken away the only obstruction and at the same time has lengthened the course 220 yards and has made possible a new hole with several attractive hazards. The course now offers practically .every form of golf problem and the condition of the greens is equal to that of any course in the country. The removal of the old farm house is not the only improvement. The big barn near Spring Creek is down and the stone will be used to bank and bridge the creek. On the site of the barn will be a picturesque pavilion With rustic fences covered with vines overlooking the golf course. This will be a popular place with invitedjn iests who come to Hershey. Work on thispivil-ion will be pushed this month. Excellent progress is being made on the big 18-hole course on the big hills. The laying of the pipe line has been begun. The course is all laid out and the rough work is done. The details will be com-pleted as speedily as possible. . A Hershey traveller who has just re-turned from a long trip said : "The, fame of our 18-hole course on the big hills has spread over the country. I found great interest in it and when it is ready I expect it to draw many prominent golfers from the cities and from other states.'- The account of this course printed recently in the Hershey Press was copied in leading newspapers. A WOMAN OF ACTION She Knew What to Do When the House Caught Fire Mrs. Herbert Rearick \v£s° aroused by fire in the house occupied by the family on the Hershey Farm 16, formerly the. Thomas Getz Farm. Mr. Rearick was not at home and so all the responsibility came upon her. She was equal to it. First she carried out her four sleeping children . Then calling for help as she ran she rushed to the barri and let the cattle out. Neighbors responded as soon i as possible and while it was too late to save the house the barn and wagon shed were saved. Mrs, Rearick was much praised for her presence of mind and her prompt action. Many young cattle arc kept on the farm and they were all removed from the stable, The house was burned to the ground and all the household goods were destroyed. This is an entire loss to Mr. and Mrs. Rearick and James Millard in charge of the farm is making an appeal for dona-tions. Several Hershey people have al-ready contributed and others have promised. Any donations of household furnishings or clothing will be appreciated. The building was insured.

Hoffer , Hershey, and a motor cycle figured in Hershey's first motor accident of the season when they met in a lieadon colli-sion on Sunday morning. The front wheel of the motor cycle was demolished , but the automobile was not damaged. The accident occurcd on the hill at the lower end of the Factory in East Hershey and was caused by the motorcyclist los-ing control of his machine, The motor-cycle struck the front wheel of the car with great force throwing the machine out of the course of the road onto the side walk. Neither the motorcyJist nor the occupants of the car were injured. KATHERINE'S LITTLE STROLL Katlierine , the four-year-old daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Elmer Klippinger , rcHld-ing al the; Round Barn , wundered away from home on Saturday evening and \tm missing for sometime before she was found at the home of Mr. mid Mrs. Israel Moyer in west Dorry.

A program wiis given by members of the class after which refreshments were I served, HERSHEY SPENDS A BUSY EVENING For a New Town of Sixteen Hunclred , Population These Events . Made a Pretty Full . Program and Everyone of Them Was Worth While. Ahead "What do you do in Hershey? How do you spend the time after you quit work?" The inquiry is familiar and al-most every visitor wants to know the answer. A simple account of last Thursday even-ing ought to satisfy anyone. It was a day to keep many people indoors, but Hershey has concrete side-walks and good streets and comfortable buildings with ample room for all, and so they did not mind the rain. Before daylight had deepened to dusk the Hershey ' Cafe was well filled and the visitors included persons ' from several states and from England. A large auto-mobile party from Lancaster had a special table and a special dinner in the center of the solarium. By the time they finished a merry crowd arrived from Harrisburg. Their table filled the main part of the cafe and was beautifully decoreted.' The foyer was cleared and so after dining they danced and the cafe was brilliant with music and laughter until after midnight. Across Chocolate- Avenue in the concert room of the Central Theater the Hershey Choral Society began rehearsing at 7.30 and kept it up for two hours, making the final preparations for the concert which they are to give on the 19th of May. This society is local and it contains musi-cians of fine ability. They gave an ora-torio in December that delighted a large audience and their 'concert on . the 19th will be an event. In the theater while the music was being rehearsed the movies were being shown to a large audience in the main auditorium— the best reels' that could be secured, and these movies may be seen four nights a week. Further up Chocolate Avenue the second floor of the big Hershey Press building was ablaze with light and the sound of much hammering could be heard. Here were members of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company busy at work putting up the extensive and artistic works of their fair— all volunteer labor contributed because of their devotion to the interests of their or-ganization. Many passed this building on their way to Hershey Park and there in the Park Amphitheater was a lively sight. Six hundred people were in the audience and several hundred pupils of the M. S. Her-shey Consolidated Schools of Deny Town-ship were in costume. These pupils want a Victrola and so they got up this concert to procure the money to buy it. It was a delightful program, with excellent music, graceful dances and plenty of applause. Other things were going on Thursday evening, little events at the Men's Club and at the Young Woman's Christian Association, both of which have complete equipments for exercise and entertain-ment, and the two hundred homes of the town had their special interests, Thus, while Hershey works hard , it also plays, and sometimes it has so many thiiiRs going on that the population is hardly large enough to reach around , but then the good friends from the nearby plncea drop in and often it looks as though Hershey were a city in numbers as well as in facilities. Spring has opened early, and the season promises to be the largest Hershey has known. Mr. Hershey 's idea was to make the (own a rea l confer for people who want sane and clean recreation , Success Is the result and this success grows every year, A GOOD SIZED NEST ECC United Brethr en Have n Star t or» Thoir Now Church Fund.

Details Quite a showing of golfers ushered in the Spring Sunday on the private - course on the High Point grounds. The day was ideal for the sport and some of the guests played both morning and afternoon , spend-ing the whole day there. Coming and going was a large gallery of Spring . visitors and the procession of automobiles along Chocolate. Avenue was continuous; so the whole scene was delightfully alive and interesting. The removal of the farm house hear the center of the course had made a great improvement. It has taken away the only obstruction and at the same time has lengthened the course 220 yards and has made possible a new hole with several attractive hazards. The course now offers practically .every form of golf problem and the condition of the greens is equal to that of any course in the country. The removal of the old farm house is not the only improvement. The big barn near Spring Creek is down and the stone will be used to bank and bridge the creek. On the site of the barn will be a picturesque pavilion With rustic fences covered with vines overlooking the golf course. This will be a popular place with invitedjn iests who come to Hershey. Work on thispivil-ion will be pushed this month. Excellent progress is being made on the big 18-hole course on the big hills. The laying of the pipe line has been begun. The course is all laid out and the rough work is done. The details will be com-pleted as speedily as possible. . A Hershey traveller who has just re-turned from a long trip said : "The, fame of our 18-hole course on the big hills has spread over the country. I found great interest in it and when it is ready I expect it to draw many prominent golfers from the cities and from other states.'- The account of this course printed recently in the Hershey Press was copied in leading newspapers. A WOMAN OF ACTION She Knew What to Do When the House Caught Fire Mrs. Herbert Rearick \v£s° aroused by fire in the house occupied by the family on the Hershey Farm 16, formerly the. Thomas Getz Farm. Mr. Rearick was not at home and so all the responsibility came upon her. She was equal to it. First she carried out her four sleeping children . Then calling for help as she ran she rushed to the barri and let the cattle out. Neighbors responded as soon i as possible and while it was too late to save the house the barn and wagon shed were saved. Mrs, Rearick was much praised for her presence of mind and her prompt action. Many young cattle arc kept on the farm and they were all removed from the stable, The house was burned to the ground and all the household goods were destroyed. This is an entire loss to Mr. and Mrs. Rearick and James Millard in charge of the farm is making an appeal for dona-tions. Several Hershey people have al-ready contributed and others have promised. Any donations of household furnishings or clothing will be appreciated. The building was insured.

Neither the motorcyJist nor the occupants of the car were injured.

Program and Everyone of Them Was Worth While. Ahead "What do you do in Hershey? How do you spend the time after you quit work?" The inquiry is familiar and al-most every visitor wants to know the answer. A simple account of last Thursday even-ing ought to satisfy anyone. It was a day to keep many people indoors, but Hershey has concrete side-walks and good streets and comfortable buildings with ample room for all, and so they did not mind the rain. Before daylight had deepened to dusk the Hershey ' Cafe was well filled and the visitors included persons ' from several states and from England. A large auto-mobile party from Lancaster had a special table and a special dinner in the center of the solarium. By the time they finished a merry crowd arrived from Harrisburg. Their table filled the main part of the cafe and was beautifully decoreted.' The foyer was cleared and so after dining they danced and the cafe was brilliant with music and laughter until after midnight. Across Chocolate- Avenue in the concert room of the Central Theater the Hershey Choral Society began rehearsing at 7.30 and kept it up for two hours, making the final preparations for the concert which they are to give on the 19th of May. This society is local and it contains musi-cians of fine ability. They gave an ora-torio in December that delighted a large audience and their 'concert on . the 19th will be an event. In the theater while the music was being rehearsed the movies were being shown to a large audience in the main auditorium— the best reels' that could be secured, and these movies may be seen four nights a week. Further up Chocolate Avenue the second floor of the big Hershey Press building was ablaze with light and the sound of much hammering could be heard. Here were members of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company busy at work putting up the extensive and artistic works of their fair— all volunteer labor contributed because of their devotion to the interests of their or-ganization. Many passed this building on their way to Hershey Park and there in the Park Amphitheater was a lively sight. Six hundred people were in the audience and several hundred pupils of the M. S. Her-shey Consolidated Schools of Deny Town-ship were in costume. These pupils want a Victrola and so they got up this concert to procure the money to buy it. It was a delightful program, with excellent music, graceful dances and plenty of applause. Other things were going on Thursday evening, little events at the Men's Club and at the Young Woman's Christian Association, both of which have complete equipments for exercise and entertain-ment, and the two hundred homes of the town had their special interests, Thus, while Hershey works hard , it also plays, and sometimes it has so many thiiiRs going on that the population is hardly large enough to reach around , but then the good friends from the nearby plncea drop in and often it looks as though Hershey were a city in numbers as well as in facilities. Spring has opened early, and the season promises to be the largest Hershey has known. Mr. Hershey 's idea was to make the (own a rea l confer for people who want sane and clean recreation , Success Is the result and this success grows every year, A GOOD SIZED NEST ECC United Brethr en Have n Star t or» Thoir Now Church Fund.
