Ralph Fiore Performed a Herculean Task—More Than 300 In Line Patriot ic Demonstrat ion The Italian parade last Friday ev-ening was one of the big Hershey surprises. Ralph Fiore, our ever-alert officer of the law , had been telling everybody what a wonderful affair the Italian parade was going to be, and we took all that he told us with a grain of salt. However, Ralph went about the task and as he said, worked three days, 24 hours each day, and on Friday went without breakfast, dinner and supper, until he was assured that everything was exactly as he wanted it. Ralph said that the parade would start promptly at 7 o'clock, and it was the only parade we ever heard of that came any-where near the schedule time, as the par-ade did start but a few minutes after the hour set, and this was occasioned by the photographer taking a little more time in photog raphing the group tha n Ralph thought would be taken. At a few minutes after seven o'clock the parade began to wend its way from beautiful Hershey Park, and it was then that we knew th at Ralph had told us no fairy tale, for the parade was one of gorg-eousness and charm. At its head was Ralph all decorated with badges and looking at his best. He was followed by ,the flag bearer who held aloft a monster American flag, with no other support thjan his arms. The pole was unusually strong and this flag bearer must have, been a Samson to have gone the full length of the parade without fal-tering. The Hershey Boy Scouts came next and came along with a dash and vim all of their own, being led by the Italian band playing characteristic Italian airs. The secpnd division of the parade was led by a bevy of Hershey Red Cross girls consisting of Misses Bessie and Minnie Whittle, Mary Kauffman, Ruth Shultz, Mildred Killian, and Katherine Snavely, and they made a very pretty picture. The Hershey Boy Scout Band followed, leading the Italian representatives of Democracy, of nearly three hundred strong. One of the attractive parts of the parade was that participated in by five Italian girls att ired to repres ent the Allies, and carrying large flags. The parade was formed in Hershey Park, then passed through all of the prin-cipal streets of Hershey, then to Swatara, where a patriotic demonstration was held, and then proceeded to the quarries and down the Union Deposit road to Derry Church and then to Hershey Park where the parade disbanded. About five miles were traversed and the Hershey Red Cross girls did not need any walking exercise the next day. \ Ralph Fiore is to be congratulated upon the manner that he handled the parade, as he had all of the details to do himself. Hershey, Pa., May 25, 1918. Pure la Colonial Italiana di Hershey e Swatara indistintamente non e venuta meno a rendere il suo contribute patriot-tico nel festeggiare il 24 maggio giorno in cui 1' Italia per giuste ragioni politiche ed economiche dovette coinvolgersi nel grande massacro. II 24 maggio, che per la nostra Italia rappresenta nella futura storia la piu grande pagine e questo per piu ragioni lo pretendiamo perche da sola pote re-sistere per lunga durata e con coraggio incalcolabile al grande impeto del nemico non curandosi dei grandi sacrifici, non facendoli nessuno ostacolo ne spavento le magne fortezze i tanti monti da alcui ben minati non curandosi della grande e difficile impresa da sorvarcare perche fortemento animata da quell amor di patria onde affrangere quel nemico in-civile quella stirpe crudele e malvagia ed alleggerire una volta almeno i nostri fratelli irredenti che da anni ed anni sono talmente gravati da quel giogo cosi pesante di cui gli Asbury loro imponeva a che oggi a squarcia gola implorano pieta e soccorso. II 24 Maggio sara per noi Italian! la grande ricono scenza e simpatia di tutto il mondo civile se verra fatto eco all az-ioni del govemo di allora ed il valore del nostro Esercito. Se si considera che 1' entrata in guerra dell Italia salvo i nostri alleati da una grande catastrofe, ed al tempo stesso mise in condizioni i due illusionist! imperatori di dover cambiare i loro piani teste fatti in precedenza colla convinzione di avere la nostra Italia sua alleata. E' stata il piccolo ma forte Regno d' piu solenne diquanto fu, concorrendovi in misura non prevista di donne bambini e uomini di tutti ceti, innestando ciascuno il tricolore con l'annessa bandiera Amer-icana.

Un fervido ringraziamento al nostro compagno di lavoro Sig: ^Latino Corsi che in oc-casione pronuncio un acclamatissimo dis-corso rammentando i fasti valorosi df Italia fin dal 1848. Infine e da lodarsi la patriottica fanfara di Swatara che voll4 con maggior sacrificio onorare tale storica giornata. I Italia da sola a sopportare la disfatta di Caporetto, una tuttocio non si rese mai vile di fronte al memico, non perdette mai quell' animo patriottico come difatti lo si vide poco dopo che da sola medesima riusci a fermarli e respingerlo oltre il Piave dicen doli—di qui non si passa. Casa vogliamo di piu dai nostri fratelli che da tre anni combattono, stanchi ed affaticati pur pensando alle loro madri alle loro spose ai loro figli?

The quota for the Red Cross campaign was $2,000, quite some quota for a town the size of Hershey. But the committee under the able leadership of Mrs. W. R. Esbenshade, went to work with a vim, and seemingly had little difficulty in rai s-ing the allotment. In fact when all the returns were in, more than $10,000 hzd been subscribed.
