              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.

FINE SEASON FOR
HERSHEY GOLF
Private Course on the M. 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.

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,
