ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF HERSHEY HIGH The First Meetin g Pr oved Such a Com-plete Success That Other Meetin gs Have Alread y Been Planned. Members of Association / for Different Years The Alumni Association of the Derry Township High School held a very en-joyable , social on Wednesday night last, February 9th , in the High School gymnasium. It was the first of its kind , the object being chiefly that of arousing interest and placing the or-ganization on a firmer working basis. The success of this first meeting, to-gether with the social atmosphere per-vading the evening's proceedings, as-sures its members that this is but tht beginning of its history and that there lies in store for this organization a promising future. This initial meeting was well attend-ed by the High School faculty, town-ship .teachers and alumnk The pro-gram opened with the High Schooi song, a very appropriate selection, as it brought back fond memories to the alumni of days gone by. George Fore-man, president ot the Association, then gave an address of welcome. His re-marks were timely and to the point, lie stated, briefly, the object of the organization and impressed his hearers with the fact that its possibilities for the future were unlimited. Albert \Y-Suavely, secretary of the school hoar3, in his unique way, responded to Mr. Foreman. In a deer and concise man-ner he enumerated the various ways in which the Association may perform a beneficiary function for the com-munity.., und then also what the com-munity is doing and may do for the association. The town of Hershey, lie said, standing as it does for pro-gross and prosperity in every phase of activity, will exert a wonderful influ-ence over this Association for good , and we are highly fa vored in having such a ' wholesome environment. He con-cluded his remarks with a few words of inspiration for the senior class in High School and further impressed the Alumni with the wonderful influence they can exert over the classes that are coming on. Miss Mary Painter , whose iskill as a pianist is well known , then render-ed a classical selection. The fact thai an encore was called for showed the appreciation of those present, as well as the ability of the artist. I'rof. Peters, supervising principal , then expressed his determination to do all in his power to aid the iissocia tion and to so direct the pupils -as will make them the greatest asset to the Association and -community. After the rendition , of the program , the social committee look charge, (•allies were played , conversation and laughter occupied the center of tin-stage. To gather thus with old class-mates makes the heart beat: fnslor and brings a thrill of delight and satisfac-tion which can ho appeased liy no other agency. The cvciiliig 's proceedings were cli-maxed by the npiiea rnnee of outs. In fact, nothing was overlooked in the way of inn kin g the social n nieinoruhle on e. .

SEVEN THOUSAND AT PURE FOOD SHOW First Annual Exhibit Realized Expec-tations in Spite of the Inclement Weather—All Hershe y Attend-ed and There Were Many from Other Localities The firs t- annual pure food show of the grocery department of the Her-shey Store was-a complete success. The total attendance exceeded seven thou-sand. It woidd have been beyond ten thousand if the weather had- been Viore favorable. Saturday was expect-ed to be the big day, but that was the time of the worst storm- of the winter, and so a large number . 'were kept away. Nevertheless, the Saturday at-tendance was very large, and Saturday evening the-big- store was crowded. All Hershey was there and in the crowds were people from Palmyra , Hummels-town and other places. The free moving picture shows Tues-day and Thursday evenings drew crowds and the concerts hy' the or-chestra under Professor Feese were greatly enjoyed. The young peop'e were deeply interested in tlie automo-bile which is still to be awarded, and which occupies its place of vantage in the store. The IS demonstrators representing; leading manufacturers who Spent the week in the exhibit were very cordial in their praises of Hershey, and all stated they wanted to see the town in its summer garb.. One gratifying surprise of the show-was the unexpectedly large sales from the booths. The consequence is that several new and important lines have been added to the regular stock of the grocery department and the enlarge-ment of this department is now only a matter of time. With its progressive methods It is able to supply at city prices all the standard goods and in most of them it carries large supplies. This is a service not only to the town, but to the - people of the surrounding country. If. is the most complete gro-t- cry store in Lebanon Valley. The first animal show having proven such a .success, the one next year will be made larger. Another re-sult is that other , departments of the store are anxious to show what they can do in-public exhibition of quality products..

Since the consolidation of the.. Deny Church post-office with the post-office at Hershey the preliminary arrange-ments for a free .delivery service have been steadily completed until now the time is about ripe for the change. There are about 300 residences , in the postal territory. Most' of these have been numbered, numbering of tht Muses being one of the first conditions of a free delivery service. The other-houses will be numbered within the next few days. Postmaster Eppley has been active, and with h'is permission H. N. Wltmer canvassed the town for mail boxes. So far over .200 boxes have been engaged. These are attractive receptacles into which the mail may be dropped by the carrier, thus paving his time. The price of the bjg fe'is only 35 cents and every^)rBTC50rrSW?n)(l have one. Inspector Lucas, of Harrisburg, was in. Hershey some weeks ago and said the post-office department would take tip the matter after the people of Her-shey had met the preliminary require-ments. It is -now expected that the delivery system will be pushed. It is probable that it will begin with two deliveries a day with one or two carriers, and that it will he developed. The service will be a great conveni-ence to the people and the increasing growth of the Hershey post-office war-rants it.. ' SATURDAY FLA G DAY Be Sur e That You Do Your Share for the Good Cause Of all the organizations in Hershey the Mothers' Club is deserving of first consideration .' These ladies are giv-ing unselfishly of their time and. ef-fort to support and develop the work of the kindergarten. They have done great good , but much remains to be done and they must have the means to do it. It is for the purpose of extending and iiiiproving the kindergarten work that: the Mothers' Chili is holding the Flag Day this coming Saturday. The idea ,is very attractive and it ought to result In splendid success. The old plan was tag day, but in this new scheme the children sell small flags and you pay for them. All you pay ' goes directly to the kinderga r ten and the providing ' of large r benefits and pleasures for Hie hoys and girls. There will be prizes for the children who sell the most tings and turn in the most money. buy us ninny flags as you can and pay as much for every one as yau can a fford.

HARRY PHILLIPS IN HERSHEY SUNDAY Will Be the Speaker at the Union Ser- . vices—Was Mayor and Alderman in London and is Interested in Great Problems of Human Uplift and Reform Sunday's storm kept down the at-tendance at the. union , services in the Hershey Central Theater, but all pres-ent enjoyed Albert Ii. Blair tell about "The Whir of the Newspaper Press." Next Sunday brings Hon. Harrv Phillips, who is as much at home in Loudon as in Philadelphia, where he is Held secretary of the Social Service Commission of Pennsylvania. The ser-vices will ' begin at 3 promptly, and there will lie a short session of song, followed by the lecture, which is said to be one of the most entertaining of the season. Admission is free and all are invited '. Of Mr. Phillips the Chau-taiii ftin.authorities say ; "Mr. Phillips' position as mayor and alderman for many years of West Hani , London , England , that seething, surging district of East London, a- dis-trict of one hundred thousand toilers, brought him face to face with the so-cial and religious problems of great cities. His solution of a. way out of the present labor unrest is the prin-ciple of co-operation and co-partner-ship in the fullest and fairest sense. He has already spoken hundreds of times since coming to America. His lectures are unusually dramatic and powerful , and bear mainly upon his sociological ' and politica l experiences. "East London , the London of Dick-ens, with its slums, its lodging-houses, opium dens, thieves' kitchens, its docks and rivers by nigh t, its hopes and de-spairs, its joys and tragedies ; West London , with its wealth and culture, beauty and luxury, its leaders of fash-ion and though t, its hotels, parks, clubs, shops and stores, its society's drawing rooms, its glare and glitter , form the social contrasts which are the basis of Mr, Phillips' lecture. "The unemployed ,, the drunkard, the damnged-goods woman, the feeble-minded; the fi rst offender, the little child . in the ' waste-heap^-for all of these problems he advances a practi-cal solution in a great, human, inspir-ing talk, full of smiles as well as tears, showing the splendid possibilities in the hearts of these various types of manhood and womanhood on these waste hea ps."'

" MERCURY NEAR ZERO AND HERSHEY HAPPY Storm of Snow and Sleet Puts a Glit-terin g White Blanket Over All Leb-anon Valley—Sleighs Out and Roads Good and Hard- Young People Skat ing • A great storm of snow and ice swept over the' state Saturday and Sunday and then followed the coldest spell ' of the winter.' It was the coldest St. Val-entine's Day on record. - In many places in- Pennsylvania the mercur> was far below zero—in northern towns it reached IS below. In Hershey it was jus t about zero when it was coldest, but, the average was about 5 about zero, although some reports had it as much as 5 below. Tuesday ft was i» above at the Homestead Barn early in the morning, ' but ' as the day pro-gressed the brigh t sun made the air more comfortable. Another cold wave has l>eeu gather-ing in the West and the forecasters say it may reach us before our pres cut snow and ice begin to thaw. Never has there been a more beau-tiful winter. The snow is universal and the brilliant sun makes the scenes dazzling. At night the beauty seems to increase and there has been addi-tional interest in sky-gazing because of the wonderful brightness of Venus and the near 'approach of Jupiter. These two stars in the western sky attract everyone's attention. Hershey has met the storm , in a happy spirit. The hustlers of the Her-shey Transit Company were out with their big sweeper: and their snow plow pr actically all the time and the regu-lar schedule was scarcely disturbed, al-though some of the connecting lines were knocked oiit. Tlie men were un-der the direct charge of Superintend-ent Kreider. They did fine work. Trains on the Reading were late. Naturally there was some interfe r-ence with building operations- in and around Hershey.' The men who are finishing up , the Hershey Press Build-ing are- good sports^as well as artists hi their work ; so when they could not handle concrete and tile they followed .•i leader to the big swimming pool and enjoyed a skatingfest. The pool was in great form for skating and the young folks have had the week of their lives. Many have taken long walks to en-joy the winter views. The scene, at the Mansion grounds is particularly bountiful and the mountain views are indescribable. Those who have climb-ed to the top of Highland Park declare the view to be the finest they ever he-held. That walk is a little too long and too far up for the average per-son to 'take. but: coining down the coast-ing is great. MR.

Full Text | ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF HERSHEY HIGH The First Meetin g Pr oved Such a Com-plete Success That Other Meetin gs Have Alread y Been Planned. Members of Association / for Different Years The Alumni Association of the Derry Township High School held a very en-joyable , social on Wednesday night last, February 9th , in the High School gymnasium. It was the first of its kind , the object being chiefly that of arousing interest and placing the or-ganization on a firmer working basis. The success of this first meeting, to-gether with the social atmosphere per-vading the evening's proceedings, as-sures its members that this is but tht beginning of its history and that there lies in store for this organization a promising future. This initial meeting was well attend-ed by the High School faculty, town-ship .teachers and alumnk The pro-gram opened with the High Schooi song, a very appropriate selection, as it brought back fond memories to the alumni of days gone by. George Fore-man, president ot the Association, then gave an address of welcome. His re-marks were timely and to the point, lie stated, briefly, the object of the organization and impressed his hearers with the fact that its possibilities for the future were unlimited. Albert \Y-Suavely, secretary of the school hoar3, in his unique way, responded to Mr. Foreman. In a deer and concise man-ner he enumerated the various ways in which the Association may perform a beneficiary function for the com-munity.., und then also what the com-munity is doing and may do for the association. The town of Hershey, lie said, standing as it does for pro-gross and prosperity in every phase of activity, will exert a wonderful influ-ence over this Association for good , and we are highly fa vored in having such a ' wholesome environment. He con-cluded his remarks with a few words of inspiration for the senior class in High School and further impressed the Alumni with the wonderful influence they can exert over the classes that are coming on. Miss Mary Painter , whose iskill as a pianist is well known , then render-ed a classical selection. The fact thai an encore was called for showed the appreciation of those present, as well as the ability of the artist. I'rof. Peters, supervising principal , then expressed his determination to do all in his power to aid the iissocia tion and to so direct the pupils -as will make them the greatest asset to the Association and -community. After the rendition , of the program , the social committee look charge, (•allies were played , conversation and laughter occupied the center of tin-stage. To gather thus with old class-mates makes the heart beat: fnslor and brings a thrill of delight and satisfac-tion which can ho appeased liy no other agency. The cvciiliig 's proceedings were cli-maxed by the npiiea rnnee of outs. In fact, nothing was overlooked in the way of inn kin g the social n nieinoruhle on e. .

SEVEN THOUSAND AT PURE FOOD SHOW First Annual Exhibit Realized Expec-tations in Spite of the Inclement Weather—All Hershe y Attend-ed and There Were Many from Other Localities The firs t- annual pure food show of the grocery department of the Her-shey Store was-a complete success. The total attendance exceeded seven thou-sand. It woidd have been beyond ten thousand if the weather had- been Viore favorable. Saturday was expect-ed to be the big day, but that was the time of the worst storm- of the winter, and so a large number . 'were kept away. Nevertheless, the Saturday at-tendance was very large, and Saturday evening the-big- store was crowded. All Hershey was there and in the crowds were people from Palmyra , Hummels-town and other places. The free moving picture shows Tues-day and Thursday evenings drew crowds and the concerts hy' the or-chestra under Professor Feese were greatly enjoyed. The young peop'e were deeply interested in tlie automo-bile which is still to be awarded, and which occupies its place of vantage in the store. The IS demonstrators representing; leading manufacturers who Spent the week in the exhibit were very cordial in their praises of Hershey, and all stated they wanted to see the town in its summer garb.. One gratifying surprise of the show-was the unexpectedly large sales from the booths. The consequence is that several new and important lines have been added to the regular stock of the grocery department and the enlarge-ment of this department is now only a matter of time. With its progressive methods It is able to supply at city prices all the standard goods and in most of them it carries large supplies. This is a service not only to the town, but to the - people of the surrounding country. If. is the most complete gro-t- cry store in Lebanon Valley. The first animal show having proven such a .success, the one next year will be made larger. Another re-sult is that other , departments of the store are anxious to show what they can do in-public exhibition of quality products..

Since the consolidation of the.. Deny Church post-office with the post-office at Hershey the preliminary arrange-ments for a free .delivery service have been steadily completed until now the time is about ripe for the change. There are about 300 residences , in the postal territory. Most' of these have been numbered, numbering of tht Muses being one of the first conditions of a free delivery service. The other-houses will be numbered within the next few days. Postmaster Eppley has been active, and with h'is permission H. N. Wltmer canvassed the town for mail boxes. So far over .200 boxes have been engaged. These are attractive receptacles into which the mail may be dropped by the carrier, thus paving his time. The price of the bjg fe'is only 35 cents and every^)rBTC50rrSW?n)(l have one. Inspector Lucas, of Harrisburg, was in. Hershey some weeks ago and said the post-office department would take tip the matter after the people of Her-shey had met the preliminary require-ments. It is -now expected that the delivery system will be pushed. It is probable that it will begin with two deliveries a day with one or two carriers, and that it will he developed. The service will be a great conveni-ence to the people and the increasing growth of the Hershey post-office war-rants it.. ' SATURDAY FLA G DAY Be Sur e That You Do Your Share for the Good Cause Of all the organizations in Hershey the Mothers' Club is deserving of first consideration .' These ladies are giv-ing unselfishly of their time and. ef-fort to support and develop the work of the kindergarten. They have done great good , but much remains to be done and they must have the means to do it. It is for the purpose of extending and iiiiproving the kindergarten work that: the Mothers' Chili is holding the Flag Day this coming Saturday. The idea ,is very attractive and it ought to result In splendid success. The old plan was tag day, but in this new scheme the children sell small flags and you pay for them. All you pay ' goes directly to the kinderga r ten and the providing ' of large r benefits and pleasures for Hie hoys and girls. There will be prizes for the children who sell the most tings and turn in the most money. buy us ninny flags as you can and pay as much for every one as yau can a fford.

HARRY PHILLIPS IN HERSHEY SUNDAY Will Be the Speaker at the Union Ser- . vices—Was Mayor and Alderman in London and is Interested in Great Problems of Human Uplift and Reform Sunday's storm kept down the at-tendance at the. union , services in the Hershey Central Theater, but all pres-ent enjoyed Albert Ii. Blair tell about "The Whir of the Newspaper Press." Next Sunday brings Hon. Harrv Phillips, who is as much at home in Loudon as in Philadelphia, where he is Held secretary of the Social Service Commission of Pennsylvania. The ser-vices will ' begin at 3 promptly, and there will lie a short session of song, followed by the lecture, which is said to be one of the most entertaining of the season. Admission is free and all are invited '. Of Mr. Phillips the Chau-taiii ftin.authorities say ; "Mr. Phillips' position as mayor and alderman for many years of West Hani , London , England , that seething, surging district of East London, a- dis-trict of one hundred thousand toilers, brought him face to face with the so-cial and religious problems of great cities. His solution of a. way out of the present labor unrest is the prin-ciple of co-operation and co-partner-ship in the fullest and fairest sense. He has already spoken hundreds of times since coming to America. His lectures are unusually dramatic and powerful , and bear mainly upon his sociological ' and politica l experiences. "East London , the London of Dick-ens, with its slums, its lodging-houses, opium dens, thieves' kitchens, its docks and rivers by nigh t, its hopes and de-spairs, its joys and tragedies ; West London , with its wealth and culture, beauty and luxury, its leaders of fash-ion and though t, its hotels, parks, clubs, shops and stores, its society's drawing rooms, its glare and glitter , form the social contrasts which are the basis of Mr, Phillips' lecture. "The unemployed ,, the drunkard, the damnged-goods woman, the feeble-minded; the fi rst offender, the little child . in the ' waste-heap^-for all of these problems he advances a practi-cal solution in a great, human, inspir-ing talk, full of smiles as well as tears, showing the splendid possibilities in the hearts of these various types of manhood and womanhood on these waste hea ps."'

" MERCURY NEAR ZERO AND HERSHEY HAPPY Storm of Snow and Sleet Puts a Glit-terin g White Blanket Over All Leb-anon Valley—Sleighs Out and Roads Good and Hard- Young People Skat ing • A great storm of snow and ice swept over the' state Saturday and Sunday and then followed the coldest spell ' of the winter.' It was the coldest St. Val-entine's Day on record. - In many places in- Pennsylvania the mercur> was far below zero—in northern towns it reached IS below. In Hershey it was jus t about zero when it was coldest, but, the average was about 5 about zero, although some reports had it as much as 5 below. Tuesday ft was i» above at the Homestead Barn early in the morning, ' but ' as the day pro-gressed the brigh t sun made the air more comfortable. Another cold wave has l>eeu gather-ing in the West and the forecasters say it may reach us before our pres cut snow and ice begin to thaw. Never has there been a more beau-tiful winter. The snow is universal and the brilliant sun makes the scenes dazzling. At night the beauty seems to increase and there has been addi-tional interest in sky-gazing because of the wonderful brightness of Venus and the near 'approach of Jupiter. These two stars in the western sky attract everyone's attention. Hershey has met the storm , in a happy spirit. The hustlers of the Her-shey Transit Company were out with their big sweeper: and their snow plow pr actically all the time and the regu-lar schedule was scarcely disturbed, al-though some of the connecting lines were knocked oiit. Tlie men were un-der the direct charge of Superintend-ent Kreider. They did fine work. Trains on the Reading were late. Naturally there was some interfe r-ence with building operations- in and around Hershey.' The men who are finishing up , the Hershey Press Build-ing are- good sports^as well as artists hi their work ; so when they could not handle concrete and tile they followed .•i leader to the big swimming pool and enjoyed a skatingfest. The pool was in great form for skating and the young folks have had the week of their lives. Many have taken long walks to en-joy the winter views. The scene, at the Mansion grounds is particularly bountiful and the mountain views are indescribable. Those who have climb-ed to the top of Highland Park declare the view to be the finest they ever he-held. That walk is a little too long and too far up for the average per-son to 'take. but: coining down the coast-ing is great. MR.
