The Hershey Press 1920-02-12

              The Hershey Male Chorus made its
debut into the social realm of Hershey in
a blaze of glory at the concert given in the
Central Theatre Thursday evening. The
entire program was one continued triumph
and demonstrated that the musical talent
of Hershey will compare favorably with
that of a city many times its size.
The unfavorable weather conditions
and the fact that street car service was
nearly at a standstill prevented many
persons from attending but notwith-standing
these handicaps, a fairly good
sized audience greeted the initial appear-ance
of the Chorus and what the audience
lacked in numbers was more than counter-balanced
by appreciation of those present.
All of the numbers were exceptionally
well rendered and the solo numbers by
Mr. Robert H. Sattazhan and Miss Irene
Kreidler were especially well received.
Miss Kreidler proved to be a decided
treat to those fortunate enough to be
present. Young, carefree, charming in
manner, a lover of her art and with a
voice, rich, sweet and sympathetic, she
soon made her audience forget the un-pleasantness
of the weather and the deep
snow they waded through to get there
to hear her. She was very enthusiastic-ally
received and was compelled to respond
to several encores after her last number,
singing as a last encore the beautiful and
popular "Somewhere a Voice is Calling."
Her first number, Sanderson's "Spring's
Awakening" was of course used by the
singer to display technique, but at no time
was this exaggerated or tiresome. Her
tones, as in all her singing, were round ,
clear and resonant and in this number the
flexible voice of the singer and the author-ity
with which she sings were clearly
demonstrated. For one so small of
stature it is to be wondered from where so
big a voice comes. She sang John
Prindler Scott 's "Come Ye Blessed ' with
great breadth and dignity and gave new
meaning to the words "Come Ye Blessed
of My Father, Inheri t the Kingdom pre-pared
for you." In singing Miss Kreidler
uses no tricks or mannerisms so often
apparent with singers, but it is always the
singing of one who loves to sing. She
has consented to come to Hershey again
at some future time and she will without
doubt be greeted with a capacity house.
Considerable credit for the masterly
manner in which the concert was given
belongs to Mr. Charles Ziegler , director ,
and to Mr. Chirk Bare, pianist.
The Chorus will give a concert this
evening in Lebanon under the auspices
of Lebanon Post American Legion.
Male Chorus Scores
Trium ph in Concert
Thursday Evenin g
On Sunday Feb. 15, the 10th Anniver-sary
of Holy Trinity in Hershey, will be
celebrated.
Ten years ago Rev. Fegley, field miss-ionary
of the Lutheran Church , ,visited
this district and with the help of Gabriel
H. Mover, then of Palmyra, the first
Lutheran Bible School in Hershey was
formally organized and held in the P. O.
S. of A. Hall on Sunday, Feb. 15, 1910.
The Lutheran Congregation as a unit of
the Minister ium of Pennsylvania was not
formally organized until August 4, 1910.
The membership of both Bible School and
congregation was not over 20 and from
this nucleus developed the present con-gregation.
After the short pastorate of
Rev. Fegley he was followed by Rev.
Krapf who remained here as pastor con-jointly
with the Palm Congregation of
Palmyra for 4 years.
It was during Rev. Krapf's pastorate
that the congregation and Bible School
began to grow and temporary arrange-ments
were made to hold our services in
the Reading room of the Men's Club until
the present church building was completed.
The present building was dedicated
August 4, 1914, a day memorable not
only in the history of the congregation,
but a day made memorable as the be-ginning
of the late World's war.
After a pastorate of 4 years Rev. F. C.
Krapf resigned in April, 1915, and Rev.
Jno. I. Meek, of Philadelphia, accepted
the call to the Palmyra-Hershey parish
one year later. Meanwhile the parish was
supplied by Prof. J. D. M. Brown of
Muhlenberg College.
Rev. Meek resigned as pastor on Jan.
15, 1917, afterwhich, by a resolution of a
joint council meeting of both Palmyra
and Hershey it was agreed that the parish
be separated and Hershey became a dis-tinct
congregation partially under support
of the Home Mission Board. It then
called the late pastor , Rev. Samuel
Games, who accepted the call and was
installed May 1st, 1918. After a very
short pastorate of 6 months, God in His
wisdom saw fit to give him a higher call
and on Dec. 5th , 1918, he passed into his
eternal reward. During his short pastor-ate
the congregation experienced its
greatest impetus largely due to the fact
that they were no longer connected with
the mother congregation at Palmyra , and
to the renewed interest of the member-ship.
Shortly after Rev. Game's demise the
congregation declared itself self-support-ing
and having previously purchased a
parsonage the congregation is now a dis-tinct
unit of the great United Lutheran
Church of America , is self-support ing and
working out its destiny for the extension
of God's Kingdom in the community.
Tenth Anniversary
of Trinity Church
Sunday February 15
Schools throughout the United States
and many patriotic and civil organizations
will hold special exercises today in com-memoration
of the anniversary of one of
America's foremost leaders—Abraham
Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the
United States.
Every child, old enough to read and
write, is familiar with the history of that
grand old man ; historians are all united
in declaring him to have been the means
of having preserved the Union , of carrying
on his shoulders the burden of preserving
a nation during its darkest hours.
Bom in obscurity, he cleared obstacles
that would have discouraged a genius,
and finally by strength of will power and
determination, he reached the highest
pinnacle of fame and attained the greatest
honor within the power of a great nation
to bestow-^-that of the Presidency of the
LInited States.
Having attained that goal , his greatest
trials were to come; trials that tested
every nerve in his being and brought to
the realization of the people the wonderfu l
powers of the man as a leader and man of
God. Throughout the darkest hours and
threatening days and despite the criti-cisms
ol the numerous factions which
threatened to destroy the country, he
continued with his policy for the good of
the nation as he saw it and finally had the
gratification of bringing peace out of
chaos.
Struck down by the assassin's bullet
he did not live to enjoy the fruits of his
work. Friend and foe alike united in
their grief for in his death the nation had
lost one of the greatest men of all times,
a friend to one and a friend to all.

Lincoln Day To
Be Observe d By
American People
After one of the fastest games ever seen
on the local floor, the Hershey Olivets were
forced to taste defeat at the hands of the
Tremont Five Friday evening. The final
score was 41 -36. This was the second time
this season that the Tremont team showed
their heels to the local boys, the first
victory coming several weeks ago on the
Tremont floor.
The game started off with a great spurt
on the part of the visitors and before the
audience was fairl y awake to the fact
that the game had started , had gathered
eight points while the score of the Olivets
was nil. Just to even up matters they too
staged a spurt and when they were finally
stopped tempqrarilly they had accumu-lated
ten points on their side of the ledger.
The visitors then struck their stride and
gathered several more points and man-aged
to retain a small lead throughou t the
balance of play. At the end of the first
period the score stood 26-22.
With the beginning of the second half
both teams began a fierce battle with the
tide ebbing from one side to the other.
The visitors however always seemed to
be favored with the breaks and succeeded
in keeping in the lead.
Both teams pulled off • a number of
pretty plays that won the admiration of
the spectators. The entire Hershey team
played good ball with Strine and Stover
tallying the most points. Clark's floor
work, as usual, was exceptionally fast .
Wolfe, the Galahad star, who was holding
down the pivot position for the Tremont
five was1 the star for his team with a total
of six field goals to his credit.
The attraction tomorrow evening will
be the York Professional Five which de-feated
the Olivets several weeks ago on
the York floor by a close score. The
York five claims victories over some of
the fastest teams in the state although
they were defeated by the Tremont team
Saturday evening by three points. Her-shey
is out to avenge the defeat and will
certainly give the York boys a stem chase
for the bacon .

"Don't wait for an Income Tax man to
pull your door bell or your coat tail. He
is too busy these days to seek you out ;
but he is where you can find him if you
need his help. "
This bit of advice is contained in a
statement given out today by Collector
of Internal Revenue, Lederer. The state-ment
continues:
"Everybody who had an income during
1919 must now determine whether his or
her net income was sufficien t in amount to
require an Income Tax return. The best
way to find out is to get a Form 1040A
and follow the instructions printed on it.
That form will serve as a reminder of
every item of income; and if a return is
due, it tells how to prepare and file it .
One of the important points to keep in
mind is that a person's net income is
found by a computation prescribed in the
law, and that each item of income trom
every source must be considered , unless
specifically exempted.
Another thing to be remembered is
that the personal exemption allowed tax-payers
by law has no relation whatever
to the requirement to file return. This
exemption is not to be considered until a
person has figured out his net income and
determined whether it was sufficient to
require him to file a return. Then, if a
return must be filed , he should read care-fully
the instructions for claiming exemp-tion,
and complete his return.
If in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, a person may secure free
advice and aid from the Deputies stationed
throughout the District. Many banks
and trust companies are also furnishing
similar service during banking hours.
Early callers are getting better atten-tion
than those who rush in just before
the filing period ends on March 15. Tax-payers
can help the Government and
themselves by coming early for any needed
advice or aid , and by early filing of re-turns
and payments.
