              Was a Fine September Sunday
Every Hour Was Interesting
Typical Sunday in Hershey Shows the
Unusual Activities of This Center
of Lebanon Valley Life. Ser-vices
in All the Churches.
Thousands in Hall
.It was a typical September Sunday
in Hershey and all through the day
thousands came and enjoyed the ser-vices
and the facilities of the model
town.
In.early morning were the Sunday
School services in the various
churches, and later came the regular
services and at each church the'con-gregation
was large. There are five
congregations in and around Hershey
and three of them have beautiful
churches with able pastors in charge.
Last Sunday the International Bible
Students Association under the presi-dency
of Pastor Russell brought its
week's conference to a climax. It
had over 800 persons at its morning
service in the Hershey Park Theater,
over 2,000 at the Hershey Convention
Hall in the afternoon and over 2,000
at its moving pictures and, overflow
meeting at Hershey Park Sunday
night. Pastor Russell spoke for two
hours in the afternoon and there were
people from distant points. : At night
the Hershey Park Theater could not
hold all who came to see the illustrat-ed
lecture with moving pictures and
an overflow meeting vf as held in front
of the bandstand.
It was a record September Sunday
for automobiles. There were hun-dreds
of them from every direction,
many from distant cities. At one
time more than two hundred were
lined along the Hershey streets and
roads. Harrisburg, Lebanon - and
Lancaster were largely represented.
The procession of machines along
Chocolate Avenue in both directions
began at sunrise and continued un-til
after midnight.
The Hershey Cafe had a record day.
It served hundreds of full meals and
it was crowded most of the time. The
quick lunch and the park restaurants
served thousands. It was also a very
busy day for the cafeteria of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-tion.
The Zoo had streams of visitors
from early morning until evening.
All .the recreations were enjoyed. The
swimming pool had a crowd, and the
boys and young men in bathing suits
invaded the diamond near by and
played a happy game of baseball.
Hundreds went to the round barn ,
the Industrial School and other points
of interest. Many machines visited
Highland Park to see the view and the
new work around the reservoirs.
In addition to all this the hundreds
of Hershey homes entertained scores
of callers. Every room in the Inn and
the Young Women 's Christian Asso-ciation
and the Men 's' Club was taken.
The band .concert was given in the
Park in two parts and it was thor-oughly
enjoyed by large audiences,
And all through the day there was
not a sign of disorder or an unpleas-ant
incident.
Too Hot For the Children
Was Necessary to Dismiss Them
Early Several Days This Week
It has boon about the hottest week
that Ilcrshoy has ever known in Sep-tember
and one of the most trying of
the whole summer, but most of the
time there has boon a breeze and the
cool nights made sloop possible. The
cities have suffered keenly and while
llorshey bus been fortunate the heal;
has boon more than it is accustomed
to.
It was advisable to dismiss tho
school children early on several of thn
warmest days. Principal Peters is
strongly opposed to anything that will
interrupt , the school program mil: il;
has boon uncomfortable for the chil-dren
to remain longer than was neces-sary
and so thoy wore sent homo,
Tlio school continues to grow.
Since last week 12 new pupils brought
the total up to fifi?.
The boys wore culled together for
athletics. Not enough boys w6uld
jo in to malto a football team, Their
parentH objected to football. The

Best Pictures Ever Seen Here
Here is a Test as to Whether or Not
the Public Wants Them
Beginning this week and continuing
into next week the Hershey Park
Theater, is presenting Paramount pic-tures.
This means the theater is giv-ing
for five cents the identical attrac-tions
that cost from 25 cents up in
every other place in America. In
fact the company did not want to al-low
the pictures to be shown at so
low a price. ¦
But it was explained that the Her-shey
Theater had received calls for a
finer grade of motion pictures and it
desired to try out the best in order
to find just what the public .would
support. The test is now going on
and the'public will show by their pa-tronage
whether they like it or not.
The pictures shown thus far have been
beautiful and wonderful. They al-most
speak. They tell big stories,
with great plots and the leading art-ists
of the stage. There is nothing
cheap or tawdry or common about
them. They , are a treat and a de-light.
The list of them will be found in
the advertisement on the last page of
today's Press. They have been ex-tensively
advertised and the people
know about them. Perhaps you are
among those who have called for bet-ter
moving pictures. ¦ Well, they are
here. Are you seeing them ? If not,
you are missing an opportunity.
Meetin g For Choral Society

Will be Held Next Tuesday
The meeting to organize a Choral
Socie ty in Hershey was announced in
the Press for next Monday evening at
the Hershey Central Theater, which
is the theater in the old school build-ing
at the corner of Chocolate and
Cocoa Avenues.
That is the night Dr. Stough will
preach in the Hershey Park Theater.
His coming here has been arranged
since the choral meeting was an-nounced.
As everybody will want to
hear Dr. Stough, Director Harry G.
Witmeyer thinks it advisable to
change the night for the choral socie-ty
meeting to Tuesday, September 21,
or one day later than was first an-nounced.
"From all indications we. will have
a very large membership," says Mr,
Witmeyer. All who have voices are
invited to be present. The plan is for
the new society to..present "The Holy
City" and to make it the most am-bitious
musical effort in Hershey's
history,
The meeting Tuesday evening next
will be in the Central Theater—the
uptown theater opposite the post-office.

Mr. Meck's Success
His Charge of the Local Lutheran
Church Happy in its Results
John Irwin Meek left Hershey this
week to complete his . theological
course, but it has been arranged that
he shall come back here once a month
and preach.' His charge of the Luth-eran
Church of the Holy Trinity for
the summer has been a very unusual
success. Mr. Meek attracted people
from the start and the first impres-sions
made by his personality deep-ened
and increased. He conducted the
services with fine spirit and he
preached excellent sermons. As a
consequence both the membership and
the attendance of the church grow
and there have been uniformly large
congregations all through die wurm
weather season. What Mr. Meek did
in Hershey ho also did for the .hurch
in Palmyra. The termination of his
summer service, therefore , was an oc-casion
of compliments aiid regrets.
On Sunday Mr. Meek said in part :
"Hershey is a remarkable town,
With its beautiful homes and wide
avenues, with its healthful climate
and ideal location , it ranks as one of
the prettiest communities in America,
Much has been done by Mr. Hershey
for tho material comfort of his work-ers,
' Nor did he stop there. What
impi esses one who spends a short
time here , as I have done , is tho in-terest
and attention Mr. Hershey is
giving to the social and intellectual
life of the town. The Men 's *Club ,
the Women 's Christian Association ,
the Free Li bra ry, tho Park, tho pro-posed
community building—all those
prove that actions speak louder than
words. But while nil this has been
done for the community, yot it is for-eign
to Mi', Ilorshey 's thought and
plan that ho do everything and the
peop le do nothing. Ho wants them
to co-operate with him. This only
can be' accomplished when they as-sort
themselves,
"In no other way is this mnnlfont
than In things religious , This is a
country whore ouch one can worship

She Vastly Enjoyed Her Visit to the
Model Town and She Writes an
Enthusiastic Appreciation
Which Touches Its Main
.Attractions. Points
A Philadelphia lady who spent
Labor Day in Hershey has sent to.the
Hershey Press this, account of her
experiences and impressions:
"Just having returned from Her-shey
with but one. regret, namely, not
being able to go through your wonder-ful
factory, as it was closed Labor
Day, I feel I want to tell you my im-pression
of the town, on a first visit.
Most of us form an opinion , but the
town was so different , that I have
since been wondering what place I
could have been thinking about. Our
guide and friend took Us to. all your
places of interest. First, the Mansion
on the Hill is a structure of most
beautiful architecture. But while I
stood looking over that beautiful Park
that , surrounds it, the little ravines,
lakes , fountains, flowers that by a
skillful hand have been brought to
perfec tion, the magnificent tropical
plants, I thought it must have been
in just such a place that the poet
wrote,
The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth—
One is nearer God's heart in a Garden
Than any place else on earth.
"Your greenhouses show the master
hand of one who knows just what is
required to bring them to the highest
standard. Your little Zoo makes me
think that' if after all there might be
some truth in the belief that in ages
to come we return in form of some
beast (which Quakers do not believe)
when it came our turn to be landed in
some place—how lovely if Hershey
Zoo would be our fate, for we "were
told that the keeper was such a jolly
kind hearted person.
"I must say everything around
there looked content. One thing is
very evident. . Every one seemed hap-py.
Even when we went through the
store (of which all Hershey may well
be proud) the, butcher was cutting
meat on a holiday for someone who
had forgotten to order their dinner
but he was smiling just the same.
Your bank though plain but elegant
looking outside is simply magnificent
in the interior. The wood work,
drapery and furnishing throughout
are things that put to shame much
larger towns, and when you enter the
Directors' rooms you have but one
wish, 'Oh if I were only a man, and a
director in the Hershey bank'.
"Then we went through the Cafe.
Not to cat, but to see—for our host
was a good provider. I thought if
the Manager can provide as well as
he can decorate, you must get good
things to eat in that Cafe.
"I could not help but admire the
charming little home Mrs. Hershey
lives in, The little rustic house in
the back ground and every thing is
most unique. Your magnificient pub-lic
school , is a monument that will
boldly stand to the front when this
generation has passed to higher life.
All Hershey seems to mo like a great
big famil y with Mr. Hershey at the
holm, Having known him by reputa-tion
for more then thirty-five years,
how he has gone on , willing to bravo
the storms that encounter a business
man 's l i fe, not for himself alone but
also for his followmen.
"A little poem comes into my mind:
For life is the mirror of King and
Slave—
It is j ust what you are and do,
Then give to the world the host you
have—
And tho best will come back to you,"
—Ono Who Admires Your Town.

Music. His Theme Will be
"The Tragedy of Russel-ism."
Big Crowd
One of the largest audiences of the
year is expected next Monday ' eve-ning
when Evangelist Henry W-Stough
Will deliver, a militant sermon
on "The Tragedy of Russellism," and
when his party will be heard in a
special program of music.
At present Dr. Stough is conducting
a new campaign in Lebanon and is
drawing large crowds. After the con-ference
of the Russellites last week
and when it was known that they
would keep up their work in Dauphin
and Lancaster and Lebanon counties
certain chtirch members of Hershey
got together ' and arranged - for the
meeting next Monday night.
All the church influences of Her-will
be centralized in making this
meeting about the livest thing of its
kind Lebanon Valley has ever known.

in it and his friends say his ser-mon
will be hot all the way through

oratorical lightning and thunder.

Rev. N. L. Linebaugh speaking for
the local 'committee says: "Hershey
will be highly favored next Monday
evening, when • Evangelist Henry W.
Stough will be present and deliver one
of his great lectures. He is the
greatest evangelist in the East at
this time. There is only one who sur-passes
him in America, and that is
'Billy ' Sunday. It was Dr. Stough
who last Winter stirred Harrisburg
as it had never been before on the
subject of religion. Then he went to
conservative old Lancaster and awoke
the forces of righteousness until his
tabernacle was too small to accomodate
the crowds. Next he attacked Read-ing,
and in the face of the greatest op-position
ever met by any man in that
city, he won his way into the think-ing
of the entire community. He is
now in the beginning of what orom-ises
to be one of his greatest victories
in the city of Lebanon. "
Dr. -Stough was born nenr Bryan ,
O., and was educated at Oborlin Col-lege,
later graduating from tho Chi-cago
Theological Seminary, He spent
