              HERSHEY EMPLOYEES
TO BE EXAMINED
Pro gressive Policy to Meet the New
Compensation Law of the State.
Dr. J. Landis Zimmerman En-gaged
for the Work Which
Will Begin at Once
'The new Compensation Law of Penn-sylvania,
which goes into effect on the
first Of January, makes radical changes
in' the relations of large industrial
plants. . In order to nieet its provisions
stricter rules must he established. The
benefits to the empl oyees will be not
only compensation in the event of any
accident, but also better health under
Improved working conditions.
Mr. M. S. Horshey has decided to
go even further than the law demands
and to put the industries of this town
in the best possible condition. To that
end he has engaged Dr. J. Landis Zim-merman,
who recently opened offices
in the Gingrich' residence on Chocolate
avenue, to make examinations of all
persons ' employed in any Hershey in-terest
that conies under the'eompensa--
tion law. Dr. Zimmerman is a gradu-ate
of the Johns Hopkins Medical
School, and he has recently completed
two years of active experience in St.
Vincent's Hospital , one of the -most
important, hospitals of New York City .
Ho was born in Palmyra, where his
family live, and he is favorabl y known
both in that town and in Hershey. He
has established here a modern office ,
equipped with the latest instruments
and facilities.
It will require' probably a month or
more to make the examinations of. the
present employees. In the meanwhile
every person seeking work in the Her-shey
interests that come under the now
compensation law must undergo a
physical examination by Dr. Zimmer-man
before he or she can be employed.
This rule is already in effect.
' The purpose and the expectation is
that Hershey shall have the healthiest
employees that can be found in any
industrial town.

TEN THOUSAND
BED CROSS SEALS
Hershe y Will . Use That Number This
Year—Visit of Dr. Philli ps and
John Fox Weiss, Esq.—Speech
of Mr. Weiss—Local Com-mittee
at Work
This year Hershey hopes to use ten
thousand Red Cross Seals, which will
mean $100 devoted to the great work
of fighting the White Plague and cur-ing
those who ihave come under its
shadow. . '
The head of the Bed Cross move-ment
in Dauphin ' county is Dr. C. R.
Phillips, of Harrisburg. On Sunday
afternoon last Dr. Phillips and John
Fox. Weiss, Esq., came to Hershey and
organized the local committee as fol-lows:
Ezra F. Hershey, W. F. R. Mur-rie,
Dr. Lawrence Edwards, A. W.
Suavely, Geo. E. Copeuhaver, Stacey
E. Peters, H. A. Newton, George Epp-ley,
S. D, Clark, J. C. Moyer, J. E.
Snyde/, L. R. Meekins.
Mr. Weiss addressed the union meet-ing"
iil rHersirey^Ceivtral^Theater. He
made an admirable and deeply impres-sive
speech of fifteen minutes, ,mar-shalling
the facts about tuberculosis
and telling the people ' just how this
seal movement was helping in prevent-ing,
educating against and curing tu-berculosis.
It means that if aid is
needed by anyone in Hershey or its
neighboring communities that aid will
be given, so that buying the seals is
not only a fine act in itself , but a com-munity
defence and a vital form of
health prepa redness. Mr. Weiss was
applauded.
The work outlined by Dr. Phillips
was taken up at once. The committee
met Monday evening with Ezra F.
Hershey presiding. The sale- of the
stamps is now on. They may be se-cured
from A. W. Suavely at the bank
or from members of the committee, or
at the Hershey Store or at the Y. W.
C. A., and at other places. This is a
general duty and so it is hoped every-one
will buy all possible and afiix them
to Christinas letters, bundles and gifts.
Every penny thus contributed goes
straight towards lighting tuberculosis
and helping its victims. The move-ment
is nation-wide. Dauphin county
is. expected to reach .$4,000 this year.
Last year Hersliey'.s total was $70, but
it promises to go over $100 in 1915.

CHORAL SOCIETY
SCORES SUCCESS
In Everj' Way It Proved a Worthy and
Enjoyable Event—The Chorus Did
Excellent Work and the Solo-ists
Were Unusuall y Good.
Audience Was Large
The Hershey Choral Society scored
on its first performance and establish-ed
itself as a factor in this town. The
audience was large, in spite of the in-tense
cold of the evening.
.On" the stage were 45 persons, 20 men
and 25 ladies, and the picture was very
attractive. There was applause when
the curtain went up and 1 after the end
of each number the whole evening, this
applause was repeated with enthusi-asm.
Much of the deligh t of the evening
was due to Mrs. C. V. Glynn , who gave
a very remarkable exhibition of her
deftness, skill and leadership not only
as an accompanist, but as an interpre-ter.
She" did not strike a false note
during the whole long ordeal and her
Interludes-were beautiful- She-got real
music from the piano ai|id with this as
the note of the evening- the singing
was stimulated to the best that the
participants could furnish.
Of the soloists the sta r was Mrs. Roy
Cox, the soprano. Her solo came late
in "The Holy City," Gaul's great work,
but it was the gem of the evening. Mrs.
Cox has a clear, sympathetic voice of
great depth and wide range, and it is
as full of melody as honey is of sweet-ness.
In addition to her natural gifts,
she .is a true artist and her singing was
exquisite. She was warmly applauded.
Mrs. Hert/.ler was the contralto, and
a large part of the work fell to her.
Roth of her solos were beautifully ren-dered
and she would have had a cor-dial
outburst of applause at the end
of "Then Shall the King Say, Come,"
but Mr. Witmeyer got the chorus to
work so quickly that the audience did
not have time to express itself. At the
end of her first number she was hear-tily
greeted.
Mr. Carmany, the tenor, won high
honors by the suveness and merit of
his work, and so did Mr. Kimm'el,
whose splendid baritone voice was sig-nally
effective. The Choral Society
more than met expecta tions and every
number was applauded. The general
opinion was that of entire favor, and
there were many congratulations in the
social session after the performance,
Great credit is due Mr. Witmeyer for
his wholly satisfactory directing.

Two of the latest and most popular
novels have been presented to the Her-shey
Free Public Library by Mrs. John
B. Snyder. They are "Michael O'H'al-loran
," by Gene Stratton Porter, and
"K," by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Both
have been in great demand since they
were placed on the shelves. '"The Rec-ollections
of an Irish Judge," by M.
McDonnell Bodkin, K.C.. is an enter-taining
book with sidelights on the
British press,- bar raid parliament, and
sketches of famous men. Mr. Snyder
gave this volume to the library.
The New International Year Book
for 1914 is a valuable addition to the
books of reference. There is much
material on the .War of the Nations.
The important events of the year are
described.
There has been a demand for Christ
mas readings, recitations; dialogues
and plays. "The New Christmas Book"
and "Thirty New Christmas Dialogues
and Plays" are timely accessions con-taining
the desired selections.
During the past week the Italian
books were placed. 'in circulation. A
special Italian bulletin lias a list of
these. One of the assistant librarians
at Reading, whose handsome Carnegie
Library has a collection of 35,000 vol-umes,

FINE NEW CAR BARN
IN WEST HERSHEY
It Will Be 270 Feet Long and 95 Feet
Wide and Will Have Ample Space
for the Stora ge of Forty Cars.
Location Central Point
for System
The Hershey Transit Company will
proceed at once to build a new car
barn. The structure was decided upon
last week and Mr. Wickersham was
instructed to prepare the plans, the
tentative lines of which were-already
decided upon. The plans were rushed
and so everything is now under full
speed for the beginning of the work.
The new barn, will be one of the
largest and handsomest , buildings In
Hershey.' It will have a length of 270
feet and it will be 95 feet wide, with
ninple room for the storage of 40 cars.
The material will be- concrete and the
building will be of the most substan-tial
character.
The car barn will be located on the
north side of Chocolate avenue; west
of the lumber yard and below the resi-dences
now occupied by the colored
people of Hershey. This location will
be the central point of the Hershey
system, in easy reach of the presen t
lines and designed also for the special
convenience of the lines and branches
which may be added later.
The first car barn of the company,
was located where the Hershey Cafe
now stands. The system grew so rap-idly
that a new barn was built in East
Hershey, and it was supposed to be
large enough to accommodate the in-crease
for the next ten or twenty
years, but in spite of an' enlargement
and the construction of-.a barn at Leba-non
, the building has become wholly in-adequate
for the. company. ' . "It -would
seem that the new structure ought to
serve for many years to come, hut the
Hershey interests have a way of grow-ing
so unexpectedly that allowance
will be made, so that even this new
barn may be increased when neces-sary.
The Hershey system embraces four
lines, from Hershey to Hummelstown,
from Hershey to -Palmyra , from Her-shey
to Lebanon and from Hershey to
Elizabethtown , and in addition is the
local line to the summit of Highland
Park. The superior speed and service
have made the lines very popular with
travelers. I
