Visit of John Spicer , Chemical En-gineer
of the Department of Labor
and Safety. His Lecture at the
Hershey Central Theater
A Large Audience ,
One of the largest audiences of the
winter filled Hershey Central Theater
last Thursday night and found an even-ing
of unusual interest in the films of the
State Department of Labor and Industry
and the accompanyingiecture of John S.
Spicer, chemical engineer of the depart-ment.
All seats were taken and many
stood .

department cooperating with the Hershey
Chocolate Company and it covered sub-jects
on accident and lire prevention.
It lasted an hour and a half and was one
of the best exhibitions ever seen in Her-shey,
While picturesque it was intensely
practical and everyone gained points on
proper care. Some of the reels, such as the
fire in New York and the work of the
Kodak department , were thrilling and
they evoked general applause.
Mr, Spicer repeatedly cautioned his
hearers to pay prompt attention to slight
hurts and scratches and he drove home
the lesson by pictures of cases of blood
poisoning. He asked all when ever they
saw hoards with nails protruding to turn
them over ho that they would not injure
anyone. The importance of details was
effectively emphasized, In fact, the lecture
and the pictures made a liberal education
in accident treatment and lire preven-tion.
At the end of the lecture the reels of
the roof factory at York were shown.
Altogether the entertainment , lasted about
two hours,
During his slay in Hershey Mr, Spicer
made a tour of the Hershey Chocolate
factory. He was surprised and delighted
to find the extent and completeness of
this safety , equipment and he praised it
highly. Ho found the plant exceptionally
satisfactory in all its apparatus ;ukI es-pecially
in Its hygiene,

THE BIRTHDAY SERVICE
Their Tributes to the Value and In
fluence of the Young Women 's
Christian Association. Where-in
They Have Found it
Useful to Them
At the Jubilee Vesper Service members
of the Hershey Young Women's Chris-tian
Association held an experience meet-ing
and told of the benefits they had re-ceived
from the association. These tri-butes
show the fine spirit which pervades
the organization and accounts for its
new activities, The members whose
names are attached spoke as follows:
The Association has helped me in
many ways. It has broadened my . views
in many things , It has taught me how to
take care of myself physically and it has
been a good home to me for the past
three years.—Pearl Holly.
Being a member of the Ayuda Club has
helped me to take more interest in the
Y, W. C. A, work,—Lillian Gresh.
The Association has meant a great deal
to me along social and physica l lines.
In 1913 I was sent as a delegate of the
Camp Fire Girls to Camp Nopnlnvin.
While there I met a large number of girls
from different slates.
I being the only girl from Campbell-town
in the Y, W, C, A, The Ayuda Club,
consisting mostly of IlummelHlo wn girls ,
look me in as a member of their club,
1 have taken a great interest In phy-sical
training , 1 came to gym, as regularly
as I could mid also to the other different
things. 1 have come to the Association
two and three evenings ever since 1
Joined. If I lived in Hershey and had the
opportunities most girls have, I would
take more Interest In the work than
most of thorn do, They do not know what
they are missing,—Jusllna Disslnger,
1 am confident you are taking a good
step when you step into Association
work, To my knowledge it Is more bene-ficial
to us girls than gold, because lo me,
and many others, it. has meant, a homo,
and a good one, loo, 1 often said tho minds
of our secretaries must be crowded with
ideal thoughts and exceptional ly good
Ideas, because we uru taught , lo do many
useful llilngH, The himuly unci Jiwti/ilng
part of this Association is thai wo develop
morally as well as socially, Mhkl rules tho

body and if we keep our thoughts good
and pure we are so much happier and
more contented.
Then to speak about kindness, just
stop and think of the amiable hospitality
that was shown the tirne the grip epi-demic
passed through Hershey. Why,
there was any amount of kindness shown
to the suffering ones, including myself
when I bad a broken thumb. I also could
mention many more things, but to make
the story short I wish to impress upon
you all, that I am going to speak a good
word for the Association wherever I go.—
Elizabeth Pfautz.
The Association has meant "Home
Sweet Home " to me.—Elizabeth Pats-chke.
When I came to Hershey 1 had one
friend who took me to the Y. W. C, A,
and persuaded me to become a member.
I became a member and found the Asso-ciation
to be more than a place to go to,
1 have found it to be a place where I
could make friends,
Club life has meant a lot to me because
it has brought me in close fellowship with
the other girl, One week at Camp Nepali'
win with its spiritual teachings and its
friendships with other people has meant
more to me than I can tell, The asso-ciation
certainly needs more girls, The
work is so wonderful, Once interested you
will never give up,—Edna Decker,
The Y, W. C. A, has given mo a wider
circle of friends than any organization
could possibly give. These friends are
all worth while, We have been fortunate
enough to secure secretaries and girls to
work among us who live lives that are
motlelH to mould our lives after , They
have many attractions which make the
Y. W. C, A. favorable place to live,—
Ir ene Gorhur.
1 have been a member of the Y. W, C.
A, ttlnco It was first organized when thoy
held their meetings in Ilio park build-ing.
This organization has helped mo In
many ways. Gymnasium exercises, basket
ball and long hikes havo helped mo phy-sically,

As a member of this Association 1 was

the Association, and It is hero I want to
thank ihti ones tvlio have made It posHiblo
