Scenes from "La Traviata" Verdi Hershey Sends Its First Missionar y to China A farewell message will be given by Clair Frehn on Thursday evening, June 21, at 7:30 o'clock, at the large tent opposite the Hershey High School building. Mr, Frehn will leave for the Pacific Const in a few days, prior to hie sailing for China as a missionary. Ho was employed In the chocolate factory for Ave years and ia the first person from our town to go aa a foreign missionary, Mr. Frehn has recently finished hia course In the Missionary Training School at Nyack, New York, and he is prepared to go out to preach the Gospel which Is the highest privilege of any one. Coma out on Thursday evening and give Mr, Prthn a good send off, Hersh ey Was Thron ged Dur ing Celebration Hershey's Twentieth Anniversary Cele-bration will go down iin the annals of the chocolate and cocoa town as the most memorable in all its history. It is an impossibility to accurately state the number of persons that came to Her-ahey during the two days of our celebration. It has-been estimated that at least 50,000 persona were in Hershey on Sunday. Others give the figures at 75,000. We believe that 50,000 would be a fair esti-mate. Visitors from all parts of the State thronged the park and town during the two days. On Sunday the P. & R. brought in two excursions—one from Bethlehem and another from Reading and points along the way. Most of the crowd, however, made the trip by automobile and street car. It is estimated that more than 10,000 machines were in Hershey on Sunday. One man counted 920 machines passing down West Chocolate Avenue in one hour in the afternoon , and the procession continued both ways, in and out. up to a late hour on Sunday evening. Crowds Well Handled Ten State police handled the large crowds in a most efficient manner, and the most remarkable feature was that not one accident or case of disorder was reported, which is a remarkable record, considering the size of the crowds handled. The town and the park were beautifully decorated. Throughout the park colored lights were strung all over the grounds, and along the banks of Spring Creek Japanese lanterns were hung, which, when lit on Saturday evening made a most enchanting spectacle indeed. The features of the two days' festivities were the concerts given by the Bach Choir, of Bethlehem, and Creatore's Band. Bach Choir Sing to Big Audience* " The Bach Choir, famed for its annual Bach festivals, sang to the largest audi-ences of its career in its three sessions given in the Hershey Convention Hall. The hall seats 3600 persons, and it was filled to its utmost capacity at each concert. On Saturday afternoon standing room was at a premium, while on Sunday afternoon the music-lovers packed themselves in to almost suffocation. Moreover, they stood on the outside of the doors, on both sides of the hall, in the sun, and we are safe in saying 6000 persons heard the Bach Choir on that afternoon, to share what is not a concert of music merely, but a service of religion. The Bach Choir of 250 voices, led by Dr. J. Fred Wolle, had the effectual aid of members of the Philadelphia, with two soloists, Emely Stokes Hagar, soprano, and Mabel Beddoe, mezzo-contralto. T. Ed-gar Shields was at the organ, with Ruth Becker at the piano. On Saturday afternoon the deep-toned music of the Moravian Trombone Choir announced the beginning of the first session "The Passion of Our Lord" according to St. John. Dr. Wolle, who has been ill, conducted from a chair, but he put all of his character-istic fiery mettle into his guidance. The choir was aflame with zeal of one for a thunderous fortissimo when he willed it or reduced the body of tone at his command to the softest breath of a zephyr. No baton comes between those mobile, plastic fingers and the choral ranks. To the singers before him the least motion of the extended forefinger or the clenched fist tells its own story and has all manner of subtile meaning. Like a consuming fire, the chorus fell upon the opening words, after the trom-bones had sung their annuncigtory chor-ales. The phrase "Lord Our Redeemer," was delivered with a mighty attack, like a blow of a triphammer on a great anvil. Through the intervening passages to a glorius climax at the word victorious, the voices outsoared in ecstasy, receded and were interwoven with a flexible dexterity only to be compassed by constant practice and long association under the guiding genius to whom the singers are devoted. They sing for the music's sake, arid they sing for Bach's canonized memory, but most of all, they sing for Dr. Wolle. The "Mass In B Minor" is believed by singers and listeners alike as the most representative work of the master music-ian, The Mass, as usual, was divided into two parts, the Kyrie and Gloria, sung on Saturday evening, and the Credo given on Sunday afternoon. But in the music of the Mass especially the glory of the music is in the choruses themselves and in the choir as a whole. The one voice is the commingled sound of all the singers and the instruments support-ing, under the dominant spirit of the leader, Dr. Wolle. When the choir rose to sing the chorales, it, was an act of worship. The members of the Philadelphia Orchestra were splendid. The cellos played in well with the" profound organ point of Mr. Shields. One could not In reason ask for better oboe playing and the violins were uniformly excellent. One of the outstanding feature was the second Brandenburg . concerto, with the beautiful solo"Strike, Oh Strike , Long Looked for Hour ,'' sung by Mabel Beddoe, of New York. Miss Beddoe, who Is one of the few Bach soloists who sings entirely from memory, made of the passage a glow-ing, Hying thing of beauty, whoso poignant appeal struck an answering chord in the heart of every listener. Emily Stokes Hagar, of Philadelphia, proved the power and range of her voice, rendering her solos with delicacy and clar-ity. Rising from their seats Sunday after-noon, when the closing number, "The Star Spangled Banner", was eung the 'large audience joined with th« choir, and under the perfect direction of Dr. Wolle, sang as one voice. At the end of the* song, al-though a card prohibiting applause was prominently displayed, it was too much for the audence, which broke out in thunder-ous ovation to the leader and his choir. Proceeds for Hospitals There was no general admission charges to hear the Bach Choir, although there was such a demand for reserved seats that this was done to assure music-lovers the certainty of securing seats. The proceeds from the sale of these reserved seats was for the benfit of the Lebanon Good Samari-tan, Harrisburg General and Polyclinic Hospitals. Creatore's Band Please Throngs Guiseppe Creatore and his band of fifty musicians gave four concerts of popular classics and his audiences filled all the space within hearing. Two hours before each concert was given the seats around the Park Band Shell, where the musicians performed, were filled and by the time the first air was played, it was black with people as far back as the strains of the popular airs could carry. Guiseppe Creatore is a master musician and he gets the highest results and the last atom of feeling and expression from his men and the varied instruments composing his wonderful organization. The thousands of music-lovers who heard the band will attest to the fact that it is in a class by itself, filling an individual niche in America's musical world. The-perfeet-eontroljg ained by Creatore over his musicians, especially in the balanc-ing, of his instrumentation is notable. The wood, reed and brass instruments do most effective work, the ensemble being perfect at all-times. Creatore's Band proved a smashing success at Hershey Park, and his audiences enthusiastically applauded every number. Mme. Delia Samoloff , a soprano, assisted at the concerts. She has a wonderful voice which is of much charm and purity. The consensus of opinion is that Mme. Samoloff is the peer of all singers that have as yet come to Hershey. Baseball On Saturday afternoon the Hershey baseball team played the strong Lewistown aggregation, with their star stabman "Smoky" Smith, on the mound. Owing to Swartz having an injur ed finger he was unable to pitch, and Zimmerman filled his place. "Zinunie" pitched a splendid game and the contest was nip,and tuck during the nine innings. The final score was 7-4 in favor of Hershey^. Other Amusements The Ella Kramer Stock- Company pre-sented the Broadway success "Three Wise Fools", before large audiences. This company is above the average and they presented this comedy most admirably, and the audiences were highly appreciative. The swimming pool was taxed to its utmost capacity, particularly so on Sunday The Hershey Dancing Pavilion was jammed, and it was almost impossible to get on the merry-go-round. The Minia-ture Trolley was filled on its every trip, and picturesque Spring Creek was dotted with canoists and boaters. The Giant Roller Coaster was unable to meet the demands of those who wanted a thrilling ride. The Zoo was thronged, and the kiddies kept the Shetland ponies trotting all day long. Oh, there is no doubt about it—the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration was a gratifying success! Those who were in-strumental in looking after the many details of such a huge undertaking are indeed to be congratulated. As it is, the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration is behind us and the Twenty-fifth Anniversary is before us^aiid as the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration sur-passed the Tenth Anniversary we trust that the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Cele-bration (our silver anniversary) will surpass its predecessors. Hershey s Birthda y Hershey chose an appropriate method of celebrating the twentieth anniversary of its founding as a community by providing the series of musical events by the famous Bach Choir, of Bethlehem and Creatore's Band. The finest tribute paid the Idea was the tremendous crowd which it at-tracted. Had Hershey's observance taken the form of a lot of parades, athletics exhibi-tions, fireworks, some speeches and a picnic, it would have been merely the con-ventional thing. That is what the con-ventional towns do. But Herahey, not being conventional in spirit, landscaping, architecture and 'like matters, natura lly blazed a new trail with obvjoua credit to Itself and enjoyrhent to thousands. It is not strange that Hershey grows and grows more attractive. —from Harrisburg Patriot. Strawberr y Festival on Saturda y On Saturday afternoon and evening, June 23rd, the members of the Bible Class taught by Mrs. Clark Bare, will hold an lce-c earn and strawberry sale on the lawn ot Trinity Lutheran Church. The young ladles of the class assure you that prompt service and satisfaa lon are their motto, and respectfully solicit your patronage, The sale will begin at 2 o'clock, with an adequate supply of cream and berries to satisfy all appotitw. Atmosphere As a Business Asset (By Dr. J. Webster Bailey) This is by no means a plea for fresh au-to office and store and counting room. The importance of that type of atmos-phere is self-evident. There is another sort of atmosphere not quite so tangible as the first, but no less real. Concerning this I venture a few com-ments, in as much as I have asked to say something by way of encouragement and helpfulness to busy men and women. When' I was a boy in school I was re-quired to write an occasional essay on Fri-day afternoon. It was my habit to select a subject , let us say "Birds , and to open up m this fashion: "There are a great many kinds of birds in the world, too numerous to mention, I will name a few". You did the self-same thing, my friend. Remember? By the same token, there are several sorts of atmospheres jn the world, I will mention one. It is that subtile, intangible impres-sion which a man or a number of men, make upon the one who enters their place of business. Probably the psychologists will tell you that it resides in personality. It is the self-expression of one's real indiv-iduality. So be it By whatever name it goes, or whatever its origin, it is a genuine asset in the business world. Some weeks ago I had occasion to write to a certain bank in Ohio with which I had done business as a depositor for some eight months, and I could not refrain from complimenting the bank on the "atmos-phere" which the personnel of its officials had created, and which was inevitably felt by everyone doing business with them The cheerful greeting, accorded, even strangers, the courteous reception for everybody, combined to create an atmos-phere which was consciously felt, tho difficult to define. In a certain inland city in the State of New York are two banking institutions situated on opposite sidesof thesamestreet. These two banks are strongly contrasted in this matter of atmosphere. One is the direct antithesis of the other. In one, the President arid Cashier are both more, stem and unapproachable men, the clerks take their cue from them. They do business there, but not with a smile. And believe me, as the Telephone Company said in one of its ads: "The voice with a smile wins," When you reach the street you feel as if you had escaped some sort of contagion. And indeed you have. With a sense of relief you fill your lungs with the ozone of the outside atmosphere. But note the difference in the case of the other bank. The president looks up with a smile, as he greets you by name. The cashier is urbane and approachable. The rest of the staff, taking the hint from the men higher up, are uniformily cour-teous. You feel comfortable. You like to go in there. Nothing repels. Every-thing conduces to a home-like feeling. You do not sneak out as if you had committed a misdemeanor in asking to have a check cashed. On the contrary, in some mysterious manner, you are made to feel as if you had conferred a favor. You intend to go there again, and you do so many times, as I have seen you doing here in Hershey. There you are. What is it? Atmos-phere. Does it pay? The deposits of that second bank referred to are quadruple those of the other. Let's all cultivate this most valuable business asset. Whether we be managers, clerks, officials, stenog-raphers, mechanics, or what not By every avenue- of approach it pays, and in a score of ways "too numerous to men-tion." This brief article has really been sug-gested by the very pleasing reception I, as a stranger coming into this beautiful town of Hershey, nearly a year ago have received from the first visit I ever made to the local bank, from that day to this I have never had occasion to revise my first opinion. Hershey Baseball Team Needs Something The Hershey baseball team will go to Palmyra on Saturday, and we hope the team will put up a good game of ball, even if they do lose. The game between Klein on Tuesday evening was an Insipid affair. The game should have been won by the home team but through the whole team playing like a lot of school boys, presented the game to the visitors. We hope the lineup will soon be fixed. We hope that we will soon have another pitchers-Zimmerman can't do it all. The fans would like to see Swartz in action—as yet he has pitched but two Innings In Herahey. What's the matter with "Smlthie" off third. He can play ring around the roses with Schaeff er (we believe that is his name) who played on Tuesday. The Hershey fans want to see real base-ball— no grand stand plays—good, clean, snappy playing, and let the best team win. The Ella Kramer Stock Company is presenting a splendid lot of plays at tho Hershey Park Theatre. Tho members of tho company are very capable, and the productions are put on In splendid setting. It seems that the people of this community haven't as yet realized what a splendid stock company wo have with us this sum-mer. Give them your patronage. It is worth it. SPLENDID SHOWS AT PARK THEATRE Hershey Park Roller Coaster a Big Feature One of the special attractions at Hershey Park during Hershey's Twentieth Anniver-sary Celebration was the thrilling ride on the new Roller Coaster, which was put in operation on Saturday for the first time. This Roller Coaster was erected by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, under the personal supervision of Herbert Schmeck, who also designed it. This was a huge and difficult risk to accomplish in such a short time, but Mr. Schmeck was equal to the occasion, and he is to be congratulated upon the excellence of his work. The Roller Coaster is nearly one mile in length, and it has more dips and deeper dips than any of like construction in America. There are longer Roller Coast-ers, but none that will give you more thrills in such a short space of time. When the word was made known on early Saturday that the cars would be run, and that the rides would be free, Young America was on the job to take advantage of this rare treat. So well did the trip appeal to them, that it was necessary to dislodge a number by the use of a crowbar, in order to give others a chance. No ladies were allowed until in the afternoon, and Miss Marion Murrie had the privilege of being the first to make the trip. Later in the afternoon after the cars had been broken in sufficiently well to start, the turnstill began to click and from that time on until late Saturday evening the pleasure-seekers almost, swamped the ticket-takers in order to have a ride. On Sunday the question arose whether or not the Roller Coaster should be run. We are glad to state that the modern view-point won, and the cars were put in opera-tion. If there is any harm in allowing people the opportunity of enjoying them-selves by riding on a Roller Coaster on a Sunday, we fail to see it. Furthermore, we believe the merry-go-round should be run on a Sunday. Many are the kiddies that are disappointed because they cannot ride the hobbies. Surely there is no harm in delighting the heart of the children. The organ could be subdued, and no one would be the worse, but a great many would be the happier. We have these amusements in Hershey Park, so why not make use of them. There is no use of bucking the tide—the people are crying aloud for an opportunity of getting away from themselves—to enjoy themselves, and why should'nt they be given the opportunity. Especially if the amusements are clean and not harmful. Field Mass to Be Held In Hershey on Sunday Everything is in order for the Field Mass to be celebrated on the grounds at St. Joan of Arc Church, on Sunday next, at 11 a. m. High Mass will be celebrated by the Rev. P. J. Phelan, rector of the parish, and a special sermon will be delivered on the occasion by the Rev. R. H. McLaughlin, St. Francis' Church, of Harrisburg. There will also be present other visiting priests. An altar is being erected on the grounds for the celebration, and will be decorated in keeping with the occasion. The Field Mass was very largely attended here three years ago, -when it was sung by the Male Choir of St. Mary's Church, of Lebanon, and it is expected to have just as large a congregation this year when for the first time the local parish choir will render the Mass, supported by several musical in-struments. Tables are set up on the grounds, at which ice cream and soft drinks will be served before visitors and other leave for Hershey Park. Various sub-committees have been named and their duties assigned as follows: Mr. William F. R. Murrie, Chairman. Street and Entrance to grounds: Messrs. J. J. Gallagher, Joseph G. Heichel, Edward Shea, W.. J. Hyland, Martin Sorcsek and John Galletti. Ushers on Grounds: Messrs, G. C, Shearer, C. L. Schmidt, Mario Lanzardo, Frank Magrini, Peter DeSantis and Augus-to Dambrosio.

Mr, Frehn will leave for the Pacific Const in a few days, prior to hie sailing for China as a missionary. Ho was employed In the chocolate factory for Ave years and ia the first person from our town to go aa a foreign missionary, Mr. Frehn has recently finished hia course In the Missionary Training School at Nyack, New York, and he is prepared to go out to preach the Gospel which Is the highest privilege of any one. Coma out on Thursday evening and give Mr, Prthn a good send off, Hersh ey Was Thron ged Dur ing Celebration Hershey's Twentieth Anniversary Cele-bration will go down iin the annals of the chocolate and cocoa town as the most memorable in all its history. It is an impossibility to accurately state the number of persons that came to Her-ahey during the two days of our celebration. It has-been estimated that at least 50,000 persona were in Hershey on Sunday. Others give the figures at 75,000. We believe that 50,000 would be a fair esti-mate. Visitors from all parts of the State thronged the park and town during the two days. On Sunday the P. & R. brought in two excursions—one from Bethlehem and another from Reading and points along the way. Most of the crowd, however, made the trip by automobile and street car. It is estimated that more than 10,000 machines were in Hershey on Sunday. One man counted 920 machines passing down West Chocolate Avenue in one hour in the afternoon , and the procession continued both ways, in and out. up to a late hour on Sunday evening. Crowds Well Handled Ten State police handled the large crowds in a most efficient manner, and the most remarkable feature was that not one accident or case of disorder was reported, which is a remarkable record, considering the size of the crowds handled. The town and the park were beautifully decorated. Throughout the park colored lights were strung all over the grounds, and along the banks of Spring Creek Japanese lanterns were hung, which, when lit on Saturday evening made a most enchanting spectacle indeed. The features of the two days' festivities were the concerts given by the Bach Choir, of Bethlehem, and Creatore's Band. Bach Choir Sing to Big Audience* " The Bach Choir, famed for its annual Bach festivals, sang to the largest audi-ences of its career in its three sessions given in the Hershey Convention Hall. The hall seats 3600 persons, and it was filled to its utmost capacity at each concert. On Saturday afternoon standing room was at a premium, while on Sunday afternoon the music-lovers packed themselves in to almost suffocation. Moreover, they stood on the outside of the doors, on both sides of the hall, in the sun, and we are safe in saying 6000 persons heard the Bach Choir on that afternoon, to share what is not a concert of music merely, but a service of religion. The Bach Choir of 250 voices, led by Dr. J. Fred Wolle, had the effectual aid of members of the Philadelphia, with two soloists, Emely Stokes Hagar, soprano, and Mabel Beddoe, mezzo-contralto. T. Ed-gar Shields was at the organ, with Ruth Becker at the piano. On Saturday afternoon the deep-toned music of the Moravian Trombone Choir announced the beginning of the first session "The Passion of Our Lord" according to St. John. Dr. Wolle, who has been ill, conducted from a chair, but he put all of his character-istic fiery mettle into his guidance. The choir was aflame with zeal of one for a thunderous fortissimo when he willed it or reduced the body of tone at his command to the softest breath of a zephyr. No baton comes between those mobile, plastic fingers and the choral ranks. To the singers before him the least motion of the extended forefinger or the clenched fist tells its own story and has all manner of subtile meaning. Like a consuming fire, the chorus fell upon the opening words, after the trom-bones had sung their annuncigtory chor-ales. The phrase "Lord Our Redeemer," was delivered with a mighty attack, like a blow of a triphammer on a great anvil. Through the intervening passages to a glorius climax at the word victorious, the voices outsoared in ecstasy, receded and were interwoven with a flexible dexterity only to be compassed by constant practice and long association under the guiding genius to whom the singers are devoted. They sing for the music's sake, arid they sing for Bach's canonized memory, but most of all, they sing for Dr. Wolle. The "Mass In B Minor" is believed by singers and listeners alike as the most representative work of the master music-ian, The Mass, as usual, was divided into two parts, the Kyrie and Gloria, sung on Saturday evening, and the Credo given on Sunday afternoon. But in the music of the Mass especially the glory of the music is in the choruses themselves and in the choir as a whole. The one voice is the commingled sound of all the singers and the instruments support-ing, under the dominant spirit of the leader, Dr. Wolle. When the choir rose to sing the chorales, it, was an act of worship. The members of the Philadelphia Orchestra were splendid. The cellos played in well with the" profound organ point of Mr. Shields. One could not In reason ask for better oboe playing and the violins were uniformly excellent. One of the outstanding feature was the second Brandenburg . concerto, with the beautiful solo"Strike, Oh Strike , Long Looked for Hour ,'' sung by Mabel Beddoe, of New York. Miss Beddoe, who Is one of the few Bach soloists who sings entirely from memory, made of the passage a glow-ing, Hying thing of beauty, whoso poignant appeal struck an answering chord in the heart of every listener. Emily Stokes Hagar, of Philadelphia, proved the power and range of her voice, rendering her solos with delicacy and clar-ity. Rising from their seats Sunday after-noon, when the closing number, "The Star Spangled Banner", was eung the 'large audience joined with th« choir, and under the perfect direction of Dr. Wolle, sang as one voice. At the end of the* song, al-though a card prohibiting applause was prominently displayed, it was too much for the audence, which broke out in thunder-ous ovation to the leader and his choir. Proceeds for Hospitals There was no general admission charges to hear the Bach Choir, although there was such a demand for reserved seats that this was done to assure music-lovers the certainty of securing seats. The proceeds from the sale of these reserved seats was for the benfit of the Lebanon Good Samari-tan, Harrisburg General and Polyclinic Hospitals. Creatore's Band Please Throngs Guiseppe Creatore and his band of fifty musicians gave four concerts of popular classics and his audiences filled all the space within hearing. Two hours before each concert was given the seats around the Park Band Shell, where the musicians performed, were filled and by the time the first air was played, it was black with people as far back as the strains of the popular airs could carry. Guiseppe Creatore is a master musician and he gets the highest results and the last atom of feeling and expression from his men and the varied instruments composing his wonderful organization. The thousands of music-lovers who heard the band will attest to the fact that it is in a class by itself, filling an individual niche in America's musical world. The-perfeet-eontroljg ained by Creatore over his musicians, especially in the balanc-ing, of his instrumentation is notable. The wood, reed and brass instruments do most effective work, the ensemble being perfect at all-times. Creatore's Band proved a smashing success at Hershey Park, and his audiences enthusiastically applauded every number. Mme. Delia Samoloff , a soprano, assisted at the concerts. She has a wonderful voice which is of much charm and purity. The consensus of opinion is that Mme. Samoloff is the peer of all singers that have as yet come to Hershey. Baseball On Saturday afternoon the Hershey baseball team played the strong Lewistown aggregation, with their star stabman "Smoky" Smith, on the mound. Owing to Swartz having an injur ed finger he was unable to pitch, and Zimmerman filled his place. "Zinunie" pitched a splendid game and the contest was nip,and tuck during the nine innings. The final score was 7-4 in favor of Hershey^. Other Amusements The Ella Kramer Stock- Company pre-sented the Broadway success "Three Wise Fools", before large audiences. This company is above the average and they presented this comedy most admirably, and the audiences were highly appreciative. The swimming pool was taxed to its utmost capacity, particularly so on Sunday The Hershey Dancing Pavilion was jammed, and it was almost impossible to get on the merry-go-round. The Minia-ture Trolley was filled on its every trip, and picturesque Spring Creek was dotted with canoists and boaters. The Giant Roller Coaster was unable to meet the demands of those who wanted a thrilling ride. The Zoo was thronged, and the kiddies kept the Shetland ponies trotting all day long. Oh, there is no doubt about it—the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration was a gratifying success! Those who were in-strumental in looking after the many details of such a huge undertaking are indeed to be congratulated. As it is, the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration is behind us and the Twenty-fifth Anniversary is before us^aiid as the Twentieth Anniversary Celebration sur-passed the Tenth Anniversary we trust that the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Cele-bration (our silver anniversary) will surpass its predecessors. Hershey s Birthda y Hershey chose an appropriate method of celebrating the twentieth anniversary of its founding as a community by providing the series of musical events by the famous Bach Choir, of Bethlehem and Creatore's Band. The finest tribute paid the Idea was the tremendous crowd which it at-tracted. Had Hershey's observance taken the form of a lot of parades, athletics exhibi-tions, fireworks, some speeches and a picnic, it would have been merely the con-ventional thing. That is what the con-ventional towns do. But Herahey, not being conventional in spirit, landscaping, architecture and 'like matters, natura lly blazed a new trail with obvjoua credit to Itself and enjoyrhent to thousands. It is not strange that Hershey grows and grows more attractive. —from Harrisburg Patriot. Strawberr y Festival on Saturda y On Saturday afternoon and evening, June 23rd, the members of the Bible Class taught by Mrs. Clark Bare, will hold an lce-c earn and strawberry sale on the lawn ot Trinity Lutheran Church. The young ladles of the class assure you that prompt service and satisfaa lon are their motto, and respectfully solicit your patronage, The sale will begin at 2 o'clock, with an adequate supply of cream and berries to satisfy all appotitw. Atmosphere As a Business Asset (By Dr. J. Webster Bailey) This is by no means a plea for fresh au-to office and store and counting room. The importance of that type of atmos-phere is self-evident. There is another sort of atmosphere not quite so tangible as the first, but no less real. Concerning this I venture a few com-ments, in as much as I have asked to say something by way of encouragement and helpfulness to busy men and women. When' I was a boy in school I was re-quired to write an occasional essay on Fri-day afternoon. It was my habit to select a subject , let us say "Birds , and to open up m this fashion: "There are a great many kinds of birds in the world, too numerous to mention, I will name a few". You did the self-same thing, my friend. Remember? By the same token, there are several sorts of atmospheres jn the world, I will mention one. It is that subtile, intangible impres-sion which a man or a number of men, make upon the one who enters their place of business. Probably the psychologists will tell you that it resides in personality. It is the self-expression of one's real indiv-iduality. So be it By whatever name it goes, or whatever its origin, it is a genuine asset in the business world. Some weeks ago I had occasion to write to a certain bank in Ohio with which I had done business as a depositor for some eight months, and I could not refrain from complimenting the bank on the "atmos-phere" which the personnel of its officials had created, and which was inevitably felt by everyone doing business with them The cheerful greeting, accorded, even strangers, the courteous reception for everybody, combined to create an atmos-phere which was consciously felt, tho difficult to define. In a certain inland city in the State of New York are two banking institutions situated on opposite sidesof thesamestreet. These two banks are strongly contrasted in this matter of atmosphere. One is the direct antithesis of the other. In one, the President arid Cashier are both more, stem and unapproachable men, the clerks take their cue from them. They do business there, but not with a smile. And believe me, as the Telephone Company said in one of its ads: "The voice with a smile wins," When you reach the street you feel as if you had escaped some sort of contagion. And indeed you have. With a sense of relief you fill your lungs with the ozone of the outside atmosphere. But note the difference in the case of the other bank. The president looks up with a smile, as he greets you by name. The cashier is urbane and approachable. The rest of the staff, taking the hint from the men higher up, are uniformily cour-teous. You feel comfortable. You like to go in there. Nothing repels. Every-thing conduces to a home-like feeling. You do not sneak out as if you had committed a misdemeanor in asking to have a check cashed. On the contrary, in some mysterious manner, you are made to feel as if you had conferred a favor. You intend to go there again, and you do so many times, as I have seen you doing here in Hershey. There you are. What is it? Atmos-phere. Does it pay? The deposits of that second bank referred to are quadruple those of the other. Let's all cultivate this most valuable business asset. Whether we be managers, clerks, officials, stenog-raphers, mechanics, or what not By every avenue- of approach it pays, and in a score of ways "too numerous to men-tion." This brief article has really been sug-gested by the very pleasing reception I, as a stranger coming into this beautiful town of Hershey, nearly a year ago have received from the first visit I ever made to the local bank, from that day to this I have never had occasion to revise my first opinion. Hershey Baseball Team Needs Something The Hershey baseball team will go to Palmyra on Saturday, and we hope the team will put up a good game of ball, even if they do lose. The game between Klein on Tuesday evening was an Insipid affair. The game should have been won by the home team but through the whole team playing like a lot of school boys, presented the game to the visitors. We hope the lineup will soon be fixed. We hope that we will soon have another pitchers-Zimmerman can't do it all. The fans would like to see Swartz in action—as yet he has pitched but two Innings In Herahey. What's the matter with "Smlthie" off third. He can play ring around the roses with Schaeff er (we believe that is his name) who played on Tuesday. The Hershey fans want to see real base-ball— no grand stand plays—good, clean, snappy playing, and let the best team win. The Ella Kramer Stock Company is presenting a splendid lot of plays at tho Hershey Park Theatre. Tho members of tho company are very capable, and the productions are put on In splendid setting. It seems that the people of this community haven't as yet realized what a splendid stock company wo have with us this sum-mer. Give them your patronage. It is worth it. SPLENDID SHOWS AT PARK THEATRE Hershey Park Roller Coaster a Big Feature One of the special attractions at Hershey Park during Hershey's Twentieth Anniver-sary Celebration was the thrilling ride on the new Roller Coaster, which was put in operation on Saturday for the first time. This Roller Coaster was erected by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, under the personal supervision of Herbert Schmeck, who also designed it. This was a huge and difficult risk to accomplish in such a short time, but Mr. Schmeck was equal to the occasion, and he is to be congratulated upon the excellence of his work. The Roller Coaster is nearly one mile in length, and it has more dips and deeper dips than any of like construction in America. There are longer Roller Coast-ers, but none that will give you more thrills in such a short space of time. When the word was made known on early Saturday that the cars would be run, and that the rides would be free, Young America was on the job to take advantage of this rare treat. So well did the trip appeal to them, that it was necessary to dislodge a number by the use of a crowbar, in order to give others a chance. No ladies were allowed until in the afternoon, and Miss Marion Murrie had the privilege of being the first to make the trip. Later in the afternoon after the cars had been broken in sufficiently well to start, the turnstill began to click and from that time on until late Saturday evening the pleasure-seekers almost, swamped the ticket-takers in order to have a ride. On Sunday the question arose whether or not the Roller Coaster should be run. We are glad to state that the modern view-point won, and the cars were put in opera-tion. If there is any harm in allowing people the opportunity of enjoying them-selves by riding on a Roller Coaster on a Sunday, we fail to see it. Furthermore, we believe the merry-go-round should be run on a Sunday. Many are the kiddies that are disappointed because they cannot ride the hobbies. Surely there is no harm in delighting the heart of the children. The organ could be subdued, and no one would be the worse, but a great many would be the happier. We have these amusements in Hershey Park, so why not make use of them. There is no use of bucking the tide—the people are crying aloud for an opportunity of getting away from themselves—to enjoy themselves, and why should'nt they be given the opportunity. Especially if the amusements are clean and not harmful. Field Mass to Be Held In Hershey on Sunday Everything is in order for the Field Mass to be celebrated on the grounds at St. Joan of Arc Church, on Sunday next, at 11 a. m. High Mass will be celebrated by the Rev. P. J. Phelan, rector of the parish, and a special sermon will be delivered on the occasion by the Rev. R. H. McLaughlin, St. Francis' Church, of Harrisburg. There will also be present other visiting priests. An altar is being erected on the grounds for the celebration, and will be decorated in keeping with the occasion. The Field Mass was very largely attended here three years ago, -when it was sung by the Male Choir of St. Mary's Church, of Lebanon, and it is expected to have just as large a congregation this year when for the first time the local parish choir will render the Mass, supported by several musical in-struments. Tables are set up on the grounds, at which ice cream and soft drinks will be served before visitors and other leave for Hershey Park. Various sub-committees have been named and their duties assigned as follows: Mr. William F. R. Murrie, Chairman. Street and Entrance to grounds: Messrs. J. J. Gallagher, Joseph G. Heichel, Edward Shea, W.. J. Hyland, Martin Sorcsek and John Galletti. Ushers on Grounds: Messrs, G. C, Shearer, C. L. Schmidt, Mario Lanzardo, Frank Magrini, Peter DeSantis and Augus-to Dambrosio.
