Sunday's Concert All were delighted with the open-ing of the Sunday afternoon Union Services in the Hershey Central Thea-ter. The theater was well filled be-fore the exercises began and the whole program went with a swing and enthusiasm that impressed everyone. The day was very beautiful and there was every reason to stay out of doors; so the large attendance gave double satisfaction. It means that the union services this year will more than du-plicate the remarkable success of last winter when more than seven thou-sand enjoyed the various programs. Rev. Dr. Furguson was down for the first lecture, but at the last moment he was obliged to remain at his church in Philadelphia. In his place came Dr. George Earle Raiguel, of Philadelphia, a world traveller of charm and ability, whose fine' descrip-tions were accompanied by the best war pictures seen in Hershey. He held his audience for much over an hour and there was no break in the close attention that was paid to him. At the conclusion he was warmly ap-plouded. Very happily the program combined the talents of three towns. James Millard, president of the Hershey Men's Club, led and made the intro-ductions. Harry Witmeyer directed the. singing and the Hummelstown Symphony Orchestra was. present. The congregational singing was, in-spiring and the whole combination was fortunate. It is the intention of the meetings to bind the three towns into still closer association and to bring in all the surrounding country. The Hummelstown Orchestra The instrumental music was by Ruff's Symphony Orchestra of Hum-melstown. It was this orchestra's first appearance in Hershey and it made a very favorable impression. Director Lindsay led well and his playing on the violin was excellent. The orchestra followed his leadership with much spirit. The members are: Director—Harry A. Lindsay. Piano—Miss Blanche Cassel. Violins-^Mrs. William Harvey, Wil-liam Harvey, William McHoIland; Thomas Ingram, Homer Strickler, Russel Hummel, Miss Helen Shoe-maker, Charles Hoerner, Lawrence Wolf , Earl Leinbach. Cornets—Charles Schultz, Charles Horn. Clarinet—David Hummel. Flute—Michael Gerringer. Trombone—Paul Grimm. Violoncello—Dr. J. Irwin Ruff. Double Bass—William Dagg. Dr. Raiguel's lecture began with a discussion of treaties and their rela-tions as instruments in politics and war. Antwerp and its art were dis-cussed, followed by a description of Ostend , "The Atlantic City of Eu-rope," with its relation and import-ance to England strategically, and Bruges, "The Venice of the North." He pictured parts of ruined Belgium, Modern warfare was shown, the trans-porting of great armies, the necessity of telephonic and telegraphic com-munication to all parts of the battle-front , roadside forges, equipping and feeding armies. Our responsibility toward s starving Belgium was brought to our attention , with descriptions of Liege, Dinant , Louvain. The wonderful Guild Hall of Louvain was shown both before and after destruction; also tho terri-ble effect of gunfire and a descrip-tion of largo calibre guns; tho de-struction of tho forts of Namur. Fol-lowing this was a side trip to Paris in order to view tho statue of Straus-burg and the Rhoims Cathedral. Tho present war has developed n now uso for dirigibles and aeroplanes. It has proved tho inefficiency of tho rapid (lrogun and tho uso for the hand grenade. Another new instrument of war is tho armored motor car us com-pared with cavalry of other wars, Tho submarine warfare was consid-ered and England's dosiro to control tho Kiel Canal , and in closing peace and its permanent possibilities wore discussed, Tho views wore many and nil wore excellent.

Tho ad-mission 1h free to all, and those who wish seats' should bo prompt. Sunday Union Services Open With a Larg e Attendance Everything Ready Except the Final Fixing of the Track. ' Time to Lancaster Will be Less Than an Hour and Three- Fourths. Fares Fixed The Hershey trolley line to Eliza-bethtown will be open in a few days and the regular schedule will be in-augurated. They delay is partly due to. a little fact that has large interest in the history of railways. When the first street railways were built they were'compelled to adopt the guage of the wagon, because the wagon was the universal street vehicle and it had the right of way. This guage was 5 feet, 2% inches. The steam railroad guage is 4 feet, iVz inches. In the building of the new trolley line the ballast at the Elizabethtown end has been hauled by steam engines and the track had to be made to fit their guage. So, after the construction was completed, it be-came necessary to adjust two miles of the track to the guage of the trolley line, a difference of six inches. The opening will follow. From Elizabethtown to the Hershey Homestead where the new line joins the regular line is 9 and five-eights miles, so that the distance from Eliza-bethtown to Hershey is just about 10 miles. The schedule time for running in either direction will be 30 minutes. The present schedule from Elizabeth-town to Lancaster is 1% hours, but it is generally made in less time. The time from Hershey to Lancaster will be under two hours and probably un-der one and three-fourth hours. The distance is about 29 miles. The fare from Hershey to Eliza-bethtown will be 20 cents each way, or 17 and a fraction cents when tickets, are used. Tho fare from Elizabethtown to Lancaster is 40 cents ono way, or 65 cents round trip. Thqrefore , tho round trip fare from Hershey to Lancaster will bo $1.01>, or if tickets are used it will be some-what less, The ride is a beautiful ono and it will bo taken by many for the scenery as well as for business. Trolley Line to Elizab ethtown Will be Open in a Few Days The Busy Men's Class Tho Busy Men 's Class, mooting Monday and Thursday evenings , Is proving quite popular , There are fif-teen members, with ono or two now members added every class night. Tho class begins promptly at 7.45, and as tho men assemble thoy fall into a live-ly game of baseball, Baseball is play-ed for one-half hour; 8.115 class work begins , which Includes calisthonle work , running fancy stops , maze run-ning, mat work, etc.; 8,45 the volley ball outfit is brought forward and tho class is divided in two, Tho playing is fast; and enthusiastic, The Dairy Class Tho class in dairying at tho Round Barn Is increasing in numbers and In-terest, At its mooting last week ton wore present , Including Mr, Reynolds of Dairy 15 and Mr. Howell of Horshoy. The discission was on tho composition of milk. Elinor Klippingor presided. Dairy Farm Sold Tho farm of Mrs., Mary Ann Baker, containing twenty-two aclros, and sit-uate in Dorry township, was spld Sat-urday n't public sale to Absolom llolsoy, who will take possession of the farm on April 1, Its New Reinforced Concrete Building Would be Superior to Any Bombs the Enemy Might Drop. Re- Markable Demonstra-tions of Concrete A detailed statement of the recent Zeppelin raid upon London has reach-ed the Hershey Press and one part of it has local interest. Wherever the bombs fell they wrought great execu-tion^- with one exception. This was the exception : "The third area contains two dam-aged business premises. On the first, a large modern building constructed of reinforced concrete and with steel and concrete roof and flooring, two bombs were dropped, one of them ac-tually on the roof , and one on the pavement immediately beneath the doorway. The bomb on the pavement appears to have explo'ded sideways. At any rate the damage done, which consisted chiefly of broken glass and plaster, occurred mainly in the houses on the other side of the street. The bomb which dropped on the roof of the building itself did little damage." In' the official reports of the great earthquake in Italy it was shown that stone buildings with walls several feet thick were demolished and every sort of structure was laid low—with one exception. A reinforced concrete building was not damaged. It alone stood the test. The splendid new home of the Her-shey Press is the latest word in rein-forced concrete. Neither earthquakes nor Zeppelin bombs could upset it. If Zeppelins Should Come Hershe y Press Would be Safe Fiftieth Anniversar y Educational Committee of Y. W. C. A. Holds Meeting The educational committee of tho Y. W. C. A. met Wednesday afternoon and discussed plans for tho observance of tho fiftieth anniversary of the Y. M. C. A's, of America. During the month of February, 1916, there will bo a nation-wide members' jubilee to bring to every member a knowledge of what tho Association has done for girls the country over. In tho Hershey Association tho first weeks of tho month will bo devoted to a membership rally culminating on the third of March , when suitable ex-orcises for tho fiftieth birthday will bo hold and a national secretary will be hero as tho sneaker for tho occa-sion. During; tho month a Historical Pageant representing tho Girls of Yesterday and Today will bo given.

Governor Brumbaugh Will be the • Principal Orator. Speech by John E. Snyder, Esq. Mr. Her- 0. , shey Will Plant a Tree. Details of Arbor Day The Arbor Day which will be' cele-brated at the Derry Presbyterian Church next Saturday afternoon at 2.15 o'clock promises to be one of the great- days in the life of the historic grove which still surrounds the church. But the older trees have gone and of those which remain not a few show signs of decay within the prospective life of the present gener-ation. It is to perpetuate the grove that the Arbor . Day is being held. "Old Derry," as this church is familiarly called, is the second oldest Presbyterian congregation in Penn-sylvania and the oldest congregation of any denomination in Dauphin Coun-ty. The earliest record is of a "mis-sionating" tour in the "barrens of Derry" in 1720, in which year , the first log building for the worship of God in Dauphin County was erected near the head of Spring Creek on what is now called the Wingert farm. In 1724, several missionaries are known to have held meetings there.. In 1726, Rev. James Anderson, then minister at Donegal, the oldest Pres-byterian congregation in the state, was called upon to give one fifth of his time to Derry and one sixth1 to Paxton. In 1729 or 32, the second log church was erected; this one on the present site. ' In 1732, Rev. Wm. Bertram was called as the first regu-lar minister of Derry. In 1745, Rev. John Roan succeeded him and served till 1775. In 1769 the third building was erected—the weather boarded log church . that was known to the last generation, having been torn down in 1884. In 1775, Rev. John Elder, the famous "Fighting Parson," became minister and served till 1791- It is in honor of Rev. Elder that the Men's Bible Class is named. •Many members and friends of the church have long been interested in the replanting of the ,grove and they are taking part in the ceremonies by furnishing and planting trees. While the actual planting of the trees con-stitutes the climax, as it is the chief point of the celebration , the main in-terest will center round the speakers of the day, of whom the Governor of Pennsylvania will be chief. One of the interesting features of the exer-cises will be the fact that the three men who now occupy the pulpits which, in an earlier day, the Rev. John Elder himself filled will be present an3 take part in the program. "The Fighting Parson " was more intimate-ly identified with the Paxton ChurcTi than with either of the other two. His successor there, Rev. H. B. King, will offer the prayer of the day. The last church which came under Mr. Elder's care was the church at Harrisburg, then Harris's Ferry. This church is now the Market Square Church, of which Dr. George Edward Hawes is minister. Dr. Hawes will deliver tho first address , of the day. Mr. John E; Snyder , attorney for the Hershey interests, will bo the next speaker, and ho will toll of Hershey, the new town that has risen in sight of Old D6rry. It is quite fitting that a member of the Dauphin County bar should be on tho program as Rev. Elder 's son Thomas was for a long time a prominent prncticionor there. Tho third speech will bo by L, K. Mcoldns , editor of tho Hershey Press, who will speak of tho pioneers, Tho address will bo by tho Gover-nor , who as an historian and as u Pennsylvania!!, very happily repre-sents tho larger interests that contor in old Deny—for it is not as a de-nominational or as a local shrine that the church and tho graveyard and tho grovo should bo preserved , but as ono of the historic landmarks of tho Com-monwealth : for hero , along with othov places tho Pennsylvanlans of tho early days received that spiritual inspira-tion which enabled (Jiorn to lay tho foundations of our great Common-wealth with that stable nobil ity which him ebnrai'tomod t|io whole life of tho State. In fow places has tho life of tho state boon so strikingly epito-mized as In tho comhiunlty about tho old Deiiry Church. After the speaking, there will bo music by tho Horshoy High School Chorus and than tho planting of tlio trees. Tho first trees will bo planted by tho Governor and Mr. M. S. Her-shoy. Thou tho Men 's Blblo Glass will plant a troo in honor of tho Rev. John (iOldor , After this there will bo tho simultaneous plantin g of trees by tho Sunday School Glasses and indi-viduals , Tho planting will bo brought to a conclusion by tho planting of (roes by the boys of tho Horshoy In-dustrial School and tho children of tho Primary Department of tho Dorry Sunday School. After the benediction by Rev, Rout/., tho postludo by Mr. Fred D. Pfoiiio , tho fine cornotlnk of tho Horshoy Band , will bring tho ex-orcises to an and. A very cordial Invitation Is extend-ed by tho John Elder Men 's Blblo Glass to all tho people. This Coming Saturda y Will be a Great Day at Old Derry Will be Held at Lutheran Church. Sermon by Rev. George S. Rentz. Services by Rev. Mr. . Meek. Prayer and Scriptures by Rev. Mr. Linebaugh The spirit of union and cooperation in Hershey will be well .shown in the church circles oh Thanksgiving Day.

These services will begin at ten in the morning and all are cordially in-vited tb be present. Rev. John Irwin Meek will conduct the services; Rev. N. L.

When the first street railways were built they were'compelled to adopt the guage of the wagon, because the wagon was the universal street vehicle and it had the right of way. This guage was 5 feet, 2% inches. The steam railroad guage is 4 feet, iVz inches. In the building of the new trolley line the ballast at the Elizabethtown end has been hauled by steam engines and the track had to be made to fit their guage. So, after the construction was completed, it be-came necessary to adjust two miles of the track to the guage of the trolley line, a difference of six inches. The opening will follow. From Elizabethtown to the Hershey Homestead where the new line joins the regular line is 9 and five-eights miles, so that the distance from Eliza-bethtown to Hershey is just about 10 miles. The schedule time for running in either direction will be 30 minutes. The present schedule from Elizabeth-town to Lancaster is 1% hours, but it is generally made in less time. The time from Hershey to Lancaster will be under two hours and probably un-der one and three-fourth hours. The distance is about 29 miles. The fare from Hershey to Eliza-bethtown will be 20 cents each way, or 17 and a fraction cents when tickets, are used. Tho fare from Elizabethtown to Lancaster is 40 cents ono way, or 65 cents round trip. Thqrefore , tho round trip fare from Hershey to Lancaster will bo $1.01>, or if tickets are used it will be some-what less, The ride is a beautiful ono and it will bo taken by many for the scenery as well as for business. Trolley Line to Elizab ethtown Will be Open in a Few Days The Busy Men's Class Tho Busy Men 's Class, mooting Monday and Thursday evenings , Is proving quite popular , There are fif-teen members, with ono or two now members added every class night.

Dairy Farm Sold Tho farm of Mrs., Mary Ann Baker, containing twenty-two aclros, and sit-uate in Dorry township, was spld Sat-urday n't public sale to Absolom llolsoy, who will take possession of the farm on April 1, Its New Reinforced Concrete Building Would be Superior to Any Bombs the Enemy Might Drop. Re- Markable Demonstra-tions of Concrete A detailed statement of the recent Zeppelin raid upon London has reach-ed the Hershey Press and one part of it has local interest. Wherever the bombs fell they wrought great execu-tion^- with one exception. This was the exception : "The third area contains two dam-aged business premises. On the first, a large modern building constructed of reinforced concrete and with steel and concrete roof and flooring, two bombs were dropped, one of them ac-tually on the roof , and one on the pavement immediately beneath the doorway. The bomb on the pavement appears to have explo'ded sideways. At any rate the damage done, which consisted chiefly of broken glass and plaster, occurred mainly in the houses on the other side of the street. The bomb which dropped on the roof of the building itself did little damage." In' the official reports of the great earthquake in Italy it was shown that stone buildings with walls several feet thick were demolished and every sort of structure was laid low—with one exception. A reinforced concrete building was not damaged. It alone stood the test. The splendid new home of the Her-shey Press is the latest word in rein-forced concrete. Neither earthquakes nor Zeppelin bombs could upset it. If Zeppelins Should Come Hershe y Press Would be Safe Fiftieth Anniversar y Educational Committee of Y. W. C. A.

Governor Brumbaugh Will be the • Principal Orator. Speech by John E. Snyder, Esq. Mr. Her- 0. , shey Will Plant a Tree. Details of Arbor Day The Arbor Day which will be' cele-brated at the Derry Presbyterian Church next Saturday afternoon at 2.15 o'clock promises to be one of the great- days in the life of the historic grove which still surrounds the church. But the older trees have gone and of those which remain not a few show signs of decay within the prospective life of the present gener-ation. It is to perpetuate the grove that the Arbor . Day is being held. "Old Derry," as this church is familiarly called, is the second oldest Presbyterian congregation in Penn-sylvania and the oldest congregation of any denomination in Dauphin Coun-ty. The earliest record is of a "mis-sionating" tour in the "barrens of Derry" in 1720, in which year , the first log building for the worship of God in Dauphin County was erected near the head of Spring Creek on what is now called the Wingert farm. In 1724, several missionaries are known to have held meetings there.. In 1726, Rev. James Anderson, then minister at Donegal, the oldest Pres-byterian congregation in the state, was called upon to give one fifth of his time to Derry and one sixth1 to Paxton. In 1729 or 32, the second log church was erected; this one on the present site. ' In 1732, Rev. Wm. Bertram was called as the first regu-lar minister of Derry. In 1745, Rev. John Roan succeeded him and served till 1775. In 1769 the third building was erected—the weather boarded log church . that was known to the last generation, having been torn down in 1884. In 1775, Rev. John Elder, the famous "Fighting Parson," became minister and served till 1791- It is in honor of Rev. Elder that the Men's Bible Class is named. •Many members and friends of the church have long been interested in the replanting of the ,grove and they are taking part in the ceremonies by furnishing and planting trees. While the actual planting of the trees con-stitutes the climax, as it is the chief point of the celebration , the main in-terest will center round the speakers of the day, of whom the Governor of Pennsylvania will be chief. One of the interesting features of the exer-cises will be the fact that the three men who now occupy the pulpits which, in an earlier day, the Rev. John Elder himself filled will be present an3 take part in the program. "The Fighting Parson " was more intimate-ly identified with the Paxton ChurcTi than with either of the other two. His successor there, Rev. H. B. King, will offer the prayer of the day. The last church which came under Mr. Elder's care was the church at Harrisburg, then Harris's Ferry. This church is now the Market Square Church, of which Dr. George Edward Hawes is minister. Dr. Hawes will deliver tho first address , of the day. Mr. John E; Snyder , attorney for the Hershey interests, will bo the next speaker, and ho will toll of Hershey, the new town that has risen in sight of Old D6rry. It is quite fitting that a member of the Dauphin County bar should be on tho program as Rev. Elder 's son Thomas was for a long time a prominent prncticionor there. Tho third speech will bo by L, K. Mcoldns , editor of tho Hershey Press, who will speak of tho pioneers, Tho address will bo by tho Gover-nor , who as an historian and as u Pennsylvania!!, very happily repre-sents tho larger interests that contor in old Deny—for it is not as a de-nominational or as a local shrine that the church and tho graveyard and tho grovo should bo preserved , but as ono of the historic landmarks of tho Com-monwealth : for hero , along with othov places tho Pennsylvanlans of tho early days received that spiritual inspira-tion which enabled (Jiorn to lay tho foundations of our great Common-wealth with that stable nobil ity which him ebnrai'tomod t|io whole life of tho State. In fow places has tho life of tho state boon so strikingly epito-mized as In tho comhiunlty about tho old Deiiry Church. After the speaking, there will bo music by tho Horshoy High School Chorus and than tho planting of tlio trees. Tho first trees will bo planted by tho Governor and Mr. M. S. Her-shoy. Thou tho Men 's Blblo Glass will plant a troo in honor of tho Rev. John (iOldor , After this there will bo tho simultaneous plantin g of trees by tho Sunday School Glasses and indi-viduals , Tho planting will bo brought to a conclusion by tho planting of (roes by the boys of tho Horshoy In-dustrial School and tho children of tho Primary Department of tho Dorry Sunday School. After the benediction by Rev, Rout/., tho postludo by Mr. Fred D. Pfoiiio , tho fine cornotlnk of tho Horshoy Band , will bring tho ex-orcises to an and. A very cordial Invitation Is extend-ed by tho John Elder Men 's Blblo Glass to all tho people. This Coming Saturda y Will be a Great Day at Old Derry Will be Held at Lutheran Church. Sermon by Rev.
