Monster Booster Meeting Will be Held in May by Hershey Volunteer Fire Company MISS KATHRYN WELTMER HONORED Miss Kathryn Weltmer was honored on Wednesday evening, April 6, when a number of friends gathered unexpectedly at the Weltmer home to celebrate Miss Kathryn 's birthday. These good friends brought with them beautiful gifts , bestow-ing them upon the honor guest of the evening, who was sincerely glad for the kindness thus extended. The evening was jovially spent , games and contests of various kinds claiming the attention of every one present. Music and dancing was also very much enjoyed and a delicious course of refreshments was served. Present were: Isabclle Buchanan , Lu-cille Gilman , Sara Christ , Sara Stauffer , Eva Runkle , Mildred Miller , Dorothy HorBtick , of Palmyra; Lydia Weltmer , Howard Silil<s , Lloyd Gilman , Earle Hack-man, William Belser , Frank Edrin , Clar-ence Wiley, Harry 1 locker , William Leil-hitter and Harry Wolfe , of Harrisburg. , Prizes were won by Miss Buchanan and Mr. Siliks. The Annual Clean-up Week and fly campaign is on. It opened on Monday, April 11 and will continue in its national scope during this entire week, closing on Saturday, April 16. The local campaign has been organized by Health officer , John Allwine, who is being assisted in this good work by H. N. Herr a;id A. T. Heilman. They, of course, need the heart y cooperation of everybod y in order that our community may quite effectively and thoroughly be cleaned of all filth , dirt , garbage, etc. They antici-pate your willing assistance and are confident no one will refuse to help along in this important question. The fundamental and basic reason for a clean-up campaign is to eliminate and to exterminate the fly. The success of the campaign therefore depends upon the results of our efforts in this direction and going another step farther , these results are contingent upon the success realized in destroying the breeding place of the fly. Flies breed in filth- therefore , filth should be removed. Ninet y per cent of House Flies are bred in the manure of horse stables and hog pens. Manure should be removed twice a week during the fly season. Privies to which flies have access afford the double danger of offering a breeding place and focus for the spread of disease. If we would get rid of (lies the rational thing to do is to completely re-move every manure heap, to empty privy vaults , to promptly remove garbage, to clean up all filth and dirt before the flies begin to breed. Fly traps should be placed in locations where conditions attractive to flies exist. They are easy of construction and should be kept baited at all times. A piece of banana peel (moist), a little syrup that has started to ferment , or the head of fish make excellent bait. Sticky fly paper will materially help to reduce the adult fly population. Strips suspended from the ceiling, are the best fly catchers. All doors and windows should be screened. Every house should have one or more swatters and they should be used at every opportunity. Flies are a dirty, filthy dangerous enemy of mankind. It is decided economy to wage a clean-up fly campaign as the money spent annually in doctor bills for preventable diseases carried by Hies would more than repay for the complete eradi-cation of every fly breeding place. Then come along. Lets all help to clean up and swat the pesky fly. Let 's help to make Hershey a lilthiess , dirtless , gnrbagoloss and (lyless community in the interests of belter citizentthip and better health. CLEAN-UP WEEK AND FLY CAM-PAIGN ON: ARE YOU HELPING The marriage of the "Midgets" or "The Tom Thumb Wedding " is an enter tain-ment of proven success.

Mrs. Mc- Sherry is now living in Harrisburg so that Mr. Hershey was able to forward the information asked for. The acknowledg-ing letter is printed herewith. There are many here who well remember "Jim" McSherry, and the other members of the McSherry family, and will accordingly be interested to read the following letter which explains itself. Mr. Ezra F. Hershey, Dear Sir:— In school this morning your friend Mr. I. D. Shoop, gave me your letter , and I wish to thank you for notify-ing Mr. McSherry, and also for your interest in the matter . As James-and I wei e Company runners, we came to know each other ver y well, and naturally became buddies. When we arrived in France, we were put on duty at company headquarters, so we had to relieve each other. Somehow or other Jim always talked as though he would not come back , and I tried to discourage him in this subject , but he always talked about it , so one day while " we were in Reserve back of Chateau-Thierry, he said he did not think he would get through the drive, so he asked me to let his Mother know how it happened. This was about a week before we went up to the lines. The night of July 23, '18, we moved up to the front and made ready to relieve the troops in front , when at twelve o'clock we drew back and at four thirty the morning of the 24th , we moved up again. We were in a patch of woods north of a town called Cirgey. About nine thirty they began shelling us, and in the confusion we became lost from "Lieut. Kriechbaum " (who was from Chambers-burg). We had to be with him , so we started forward to find him, when they began shelling more heavily. We dropped when a shell struck close to us, and then got up and st arted forward , when another hit directly in front of Jim. (A fragment struck me in the right hip and knee which caused the amputation of my right limb) . I became unconscious, and when I came to , 1 saw Jim 's lips moving, so I crawled over to him , and he said , please tell my mother. So 1 tried to get in touch with her , but it seems no one knew , so when I came here I met Mr. Shoop, who said , he would help me. Thanking you again for^your interest . Respect fully yours, Mr. Clyde E. Rankin.

MISS BESSIE WHITTLE A BRIDE
Miss Bessie Whittle , daughter of Mrs.
Phoebe Whittle, became the . bride of
Ralph M. Maulfair , of Reading, on Thurs-day,
April 7. The ceremony was held at
12:30 noon in the Lutheran Church, of
Chester, with the pastor, Rev. John I.
Meek, a former pastor at Trinity Lutheran
officiating. The couple were unattended.
They will reside at 1346 Good street ,
Reading.
The bride was one of Hershey 's most
estimable and charming young ladies.
Her friends and admirers are legion.
At work she was capable and during a
period of eight successive years her services
in the Sales Department were valued
highly. She was active in the social life
of the community, was deeply interested
in the local Y. W. C. A. and prominently
affiliated with the T. A. A. Club.
Mr. Maulfair is also well known not
only in Hershey but throughout this entire
section. He is the son of Mrs. Annie
Maulfair and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs.

He had been a member of the Hershey

happiness and success throughout the
span of life , and in these wishes "The

The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
met in regular session on Tuesday evening,
April 5, at the Fire Company room. It
was the most enthusiastic meeting held
in many months for an unusually large
number of members had turned out to
make this meeting a red-letter event in the
history of the institution. Each one in
attendance seemed imbued with a new life
which fact had an electrifying effect, upon
the activities of the evening.
After current business matters were dis-posed
of the members launched into a
vigorous discussion of questions pertaining
to the vital needs of the Company. Fire
protection as afforded by the present
equipment of the Company was carefully
studied and after a lengthy discussion it
was unanimousl y decided that the Comp-any
is urgently in need of improved fire
fighting apparatus. A number of encour-aging
suggestions were submitted by
various firemen which resulted in making
definite arrangements to procure the much
needed apparatus.
Every citizen of Hershey is (if sufficient
thought is given) intensel y interested in
the fire protection this community has.
Of the more than five hundred families in
Hershey almost half of them are property
owners- these especially should be vitally
interested in this important question of
fire protection. And every other member
of the community is nigh as equally
interested. Fire means loss, waste, de-struction
, to homes, factory, churches,
etc., and every good citizen proves himself
a good citizen by his interest and efforts
in the prevention of and protection against
fire.
Therefore a big BOOSTER MEETING
is being planned for some time in May, at
which occasion the Fire Company desires
to have every citizen of Hershey present.
It is purposed to make this'a real , honest -
to-goodness town meeting, the like of
which has never been held before. You
will want to be there- old and young,
ladies and men, girls and boys- and bring
the babies along too. Let 's make it a
regular family affair , a sort of indoor
picnic with everybody doing a bit to help
along and to boost a worthy idea into a
genuine record-smashing success.
Yes, there 'll be eats and drinks in
bountiful measure and wholesome. There
will be splendid music and good addresses.
Doesn't that sound like a picnic, a regular
old-fashioned town picnic? Why, you
simply can 't miss it. We're all going to
be there and we're all a-going to have
