The Hershey Press 1919-05-01

              The members of The Victory Club of the
Y. W. C. A., will hold the first of a series of
entertainments Thursday evening May 8,
in the Central Theatre. The affair will be
in the nature of a moving picture and vaude-ville
performance.
The vaudeville will include musical num-bers
and various other acts, all by local
talent. The price of admission has been
fixed at a very nominal figure for the calibre
of the entertainment proposed.
The proceeds will be used to further the
purposes for which the club was organized,
that of securing various forms of educational
entertainments for the girls who make their
home in the Y. W. C. A.
The management is rather reticent in
regard to the program as far as the specialty
numbers are concerned as the final plans
have not as yet been completed. It is cer-tain
however to be a treat for the patrons.
For the moving picture attraction,r"Littie
Miss Hoover" featuring
^
Marguerite' Clark,
has been secured.,«^1ie mere mention of the
fact that Miss" Clark will appear on the
^
acpen^iS^e'Vidence that the picture is a
^
i- world beater. • Few screens have ever en-
>* joyed the popularity such as is possessed by
Miss Clark. Assisting Miss Clark is Eugene
O'Brien whose very name is a byword in
the movie world.
In this play Miss Clark is shown as a
Washington Society girl who resolves to do
her bit toward winning the war by enlisting
in the army of . the Food Administration.
Accordingly she buys a few pedigreed White
Leghorn hens and goes farming. In the
course of her efforts she reunites her grand-father
with her grand-uncle who had fought
on opposite sides in the Civil War, changes
a fading Maryland estate into modern win-the-
war farm, gets rid of a suitor to whom
she had promised herself, annexes a gentle-man
whom she had grown to love, eventually
making everybody happy.

MAY HOP TO BE BfiST EVER
The announcement by the park manage-ment
to the effect that the Banjo-Saxo Or-chestra
of Harrisburg, has been secured to
play at the May Hop, Wednesday evening,
May 21, will undoubtedly be highly welcome
to the many who anticipate attending. This
orchestra which was organized last year, is
beyond any doubt, one of the best in the
state. So popular has it become since its
organization that it is already booked for
many appearances in numerous cities of the
state.
Arrangements are being made to handle
a large crowd as the annual May Hop has
always been a gala occasion to the dancers
in this section, attracting patrons from Har-risburg,
Lebanon and all the surrounding
towns.
The hall will present an unusually pleasing
spectacle this year. Electrical and floral
effects will be used in the decorations. In
addition to these novelties, carnations will
be presented to every lady in attenance.
RUMOR BOY FM RH.OH TEERLS HTEOY BFEA LESREECTED
The story recently published in the Phila-delphia
papers and also in a Harrisburg
evening paper and a Lebanon paper to the
effect that M. S. Hershey would erecf a
large hotel in Atlantic City has been flatly
denied by officials here. According to one of
the executives, there is absolutely no truth
in the report, nor has there ever been any
foundation for the rumor. How or where
the story originated is a mystery but it is
attributed to the wild romancing of some
imaginative newspaper reporter in Phila-delphia.
OLIVETS vs. EAST END
The Olivet Baseball team will oppose the
East End team of Harrisburg, Saturday
afternoon on the Park Diamond. East End
will present a strong line-up and a good
game is expected.
The visitors team will include some of the
stars of the Alison Hill Twilight League. In
alt probabilities Challenger will pitch.

Are You a Pennsylvania!!?
Show It—Buy Bonds _
V "We're from Pennsylvania, the good old Key-
Stone State. " With chests expanded and eyes shin-ing,
thousands and thousands of boys of the 28th and
• 79th Division have thus replied to the many com-ments
of praise for the.rvaJ[oj^^lisp|ayed on the field
^
o,f-battle.. - 'With'tfiat^simple stafemenw^e^^ve^e,
"content. And was . it not enough? Through the^^
long years since the landing of William Penn, the
men and boys of this state have set examples that
have carried the country through the most trying
of times. In the War of the Rebellion, in the Civil
War, the Spanish-American conflict , the men, wo-men
and boys of the old Keystone State played an
• important part. And then in the great World War,
it remained for the boys of the 28th and 79th. Divi-sions
as a whole, to pave the way for the final victory
of the Allies.
And now the boys are. coming home. Already the
majority of the 28th have.landed in Philadelphia
and the 79th mi\ quickly follow. " Many of their
heroes lie beneath the sod of France. They will
never be forgotten. The other heroes' who were
spared in the conflict will give fitting testimony to
the courage and sacrifice of those who perished . And
now it is up to those who remairied behind to extend
a royal welcome to the returned heroes.
Can you imagine, the first question that will be
asked ? Formed on their lips will be the query,
"Have you in this country stood by the boys across
the sea ? Have you bought your share of Liberty
Bonds? " Can you picture the look on his face as
he reads his answer? *
These boys who fought and bled that we might
live in comfort are certainly deserving of anything
that we can possibly do for them and the least of
these things is to back up their work by subscribing
to the Victory Loan and show that we too are from
Pennsylvania.
Already the time set for the floating of th# loan is
half over and the Hershey District is lagging far
behind. People of Hershey and Vicinity, do we
want that stigma on the fair name of Hershey ? The
a nswer is evident. We do not.
There is but one thing to do and that is to get to-gether
and push this proposition over the top.
Don't hang back and soothe your conscience with
the consoling thought that someone richer than you
will bear the burden. Every person must do his or
her part. Do it and do it now.
Remember too that in addition to .helping the
boys who helped you, you are at the same time help-ing
yourself. You are investing in a safe proposi-tion
and drawing a fair rate of interest.
