Red Cross Roll Call Now in Progress; Have You J oined? The fourth Annual Red Cross "Roll Call" is now in progress and will continue until Thanksgiving Thursday, November 25. A drive by the local chapter was opened on Monday of this week. Solicitors are canvassing the entire community. Have you joined? Perhaps you were missed for some reason or other, which , however, should not act as a deterrent in your desire to join. You surely owe it to your-self and to your fellow-beings to become a member of this wonderful organization of mercy,—one of the greatest institutions God has ever prompted mankind to per-petuate. Any member of the local chapter will be glad to receive your contribution which will enroll you as a member. Or there are agencies anywhere which will be glad to accommodate you. The extent to which the American Red Cross has entered into the lives of the people at large is not generally known. In Pennsylvania and Delaware alone, during the past year, the first full year of operation under the comprehensive peace program, this great organization has given aid to more than a half million of people. At present, of these activities, the public health and nursing service is the most far-reaching in its effects. The Red Cross is actively co-operating with Dr. Edward Martin , State. Director of Public Health , to aid in the betterment of public health and he recognizes the power for good, of the organization. Nursing ser-vices have been established by many Chapters throughout the state. During the first six months of the year in the nursing service in Pennsylvania , the public health nurses made 44 ,537 visits. There arc now sixty-five nursing services established and eighty-fou r nurses are employed in tin. public health service. Kach nurse has averaged 115 visits per month to sick who are unable to secure proper attention Jor themselves. Pennsylvania ,>as a great manufacturing and mining state has annually about 8500 fatal accidents and about 45000 non-fatal ones. A non-fatal accident may easily result in deatl) of the victim unless prompt and efficient aid be given and this is what the Red Cross First Aid teaches. A very considerable number of lives are saved annually by means of the Red Cross First Aid service. During the fust six months of 1920, the Red Cross conducted 41 First Aid classes in which were 1245 students , of whom 711 received certificates of graduation. This number will be greatly increased before the class of the year. No stronger evidence of the efficiency and preparedness of the Red Cross can be shown than in the influenza epidemic of two years ago. Due to the Red Cross nursing resources thousands of lives were saved in Pennsylvania. They gave food,' fuel and money where necessary until the unfortunates were again self-supporting. During the first six months of 1920, the Red Cross conducted 226 classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, 77 in-structors teaching 3845 students most of whom passed satisfactory examinations. In the first part of 1920 Home Service has been rendered in about 20,000 cases and including various entertainments given by the Red Cross, the Home Ser-vice alone came in contact with almost 200,000 persons in the state. The Red Cross pays special attention to the health of the baby and in the first half of 1920 baby welfare centers were opened by 30 chapters with enormously good results. It is impossible to say how many little lives were saved by the Red Cross and how much suffering prevented but the number is undoubtedly very large. Many special activities are also con-ducted. The Delaware Chapter main-tains an efficient Motor Corps which takes the nurses from place to place, rushes desperate cases to the hospitals and gives pleasure rides to the aged and the poorer children. Hygiene dispensaries, dental clinics, free community centers and rest rooms, continuation schools to enable those who must work to continue their studies, suppl ying needy children with clothing, nurses recreation house at hospitals, organization of Little Mothers' League, First Aid Tents at County Fairs, Health Centers with Health Nurses, furnishing food , fuel , garments and other supplies to families in distress—-these are some of the special activities which various Chapters throughout the state are con-ducting. And the good thus accomplish-de can hardly be measured. On these wonderful achievements the Red Cross asks the people for their indorsement in the present Roll Call. This splendid record has been made on one dollar memberships. Every resident of Pennsylvania who has at heart the welfare of his Community and of his fellow-men should withou t hesitation join the Red Cross in the 1920 Roll Call. A wedding of interest throughout Hershey, was solemnized on Wednesday morning, November 17, at 10:00 o'clock , at the St. Mary 's Catholic Church , Lancaster , when Miss Mary Kauffman became the bride of Mr. Charles Wid-myer. The bride is I lie. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Kauffman , of Lancaster. She has been employed in Hershey for about, six years. She had been cashier at the Cafe and Dining Room and later on the personnel of the Sales Record De-pa! tment , in the office of the Chocolate Company. While here she won and held a host, of friends. She was of sunny disposition , always cheerful and possessed many rare charms and capabilities. To know her was to admire her. She was an active member in I lie T. A. A. Club of (he Y. W. C. A„ which organization sadly misses Iter since she has gone. The most sincere wishes for a long life filled with health , success and happiness, in abund-ance, are bestowed upon her by these many Hershey friends. After a wedding trip to New York City, the newly weds will be at home at 411 Si. .Joseph Street , Lancaster , Pa. MISS MARY KAUFFMAN A BRIDE "Humoresque" is a most appealing story from the pen of Fannie Hurst. The intensely human atmosphere of the novel has been incorporated into the picture with wonderful success. The story centers around Leon Kantor, a boy of the Ghetto, who shows an intense love for music. His mother- who has always wanted a musician-son, is de-lighted and on his seventh birthday buys him a violin. Leon's playmate is pretty Gina Ginsburg. Fifteen years later, Leon is a recognized genius. On the night of his triumph at a big concert given for his people of the Ghetto, he enlists. Leon returns from France with a shattered shoulder and it is said that he will never be able to play the violin again. Leon's music is his all. He becomes morose and discouraged . Before the war he had be-come engaged to Gina. Now he wishes to release her from marrying him—a cripple. But in a very wonderful way he is restored to full strength and , to the joy of his mother and Gina, turns toward new con-quests in the realm of music. It's a picture that makes the hopes and joys and tears of plain folks live on the screen. It contains more pathos than "The Music Master." It has more whole-some fun than "Potash and Perlmutter." "Humoresque" is very close to every human heart, and is one of the photoplay masterpieces of all time. It will be exhibited at the Central Theatre on November 24 and 25—don't fail to see it.

Fitting Service Held in Com-memoration of Armistice Day a full confidance that they would remain the strong, right arm of the government in preserving peace, justice and the great principals of democracy. As a member of Congress, it was very fitting he should present to each ex-service man present the Victory Medal, which has been given by Congress, as a token of the debt the government owes to its veterans of the World War. Seventy men received their medals, each , in turn , receiving the applause of the house, as they briskly stepped to the front. • The special musical numbers were ex-ceedingly, pleasing and were as follows : Piano Solo, Mrs. J. Landis Zimmerman : Vocal Solo, Miss Martha Keeney ; Vocal Duet, Mrs. W. F. Harvey and Miss Anna Harlan; Instrumental trio, the Misses Angeline, Josephine and Adeline Ferucci. The selections were beautiful and ren-dered in an expecially delightf ul way. The large crowd accorded each selection spontaneous and prolonged applause and would not desist until encores were given . Miss Lydia Weltmer very ably accom-panied the vocalists. The song-fest, led by Mr. Charles F. Zeigler, was a distinct feature of the pro-gram. With an enthusiasm, as when during the war, every person present joined in this happy feature. "There Are Smiles," "There 's a long, long trail ," "Pack up your troubles," etc., were sung in most impressive manner and every soul felt the thrill and joy of the moment. Mr. Clark Bare presided at the piano dur-ing the "Sing." Rev. R. H. Taylor , rendered the invo-cation and also the Benediction. Altogether it was a splendid evening, full of good things for every one present. The program was immensely enjoyed and it is safe to say every one who partici pated in t his Armistice Day Service , felt im-measurably benefited thereby . The boys were so well pleased that they are already looking forward to a greater Armistitte Day in 1921. As a national day it has come to stay. The succeeding years will tend only to make it more sacred and more memorable to us all. To those good people who so kindly subscribed by lending their splendid talent , to the success of this service, Hershey Post , of the American Legion, herein extends its most sincere gratitude. A very fitting and altogether appro-priate service, in Commemoration of Armistice Day, was held in the Central Theatre, on Thursday evening, November, 11. The service was held under the auspices of Hershey Post, No. 386, of the American Legion. A committee, ap-pointed from the Post ,- made all necessary arrangements and very successfully was their work done. Though the meeting was arranged by the local Post, of the American Legion, it was really a Community service and not a distinctive meeting for any particular organization. Splendidly did the Com-munity respond for the theatre was well nigh taxed to capacity. Ex-service men to the number of seventy, attended as a body and occupied a reserved section of the theatre. A generous outburst of applause greeted them as they marched down the middle aisle to their seats. They were firm of step, with the lustre of youth sparkling in their eyes, while their buoyant spirit seemed to charge the atmosphere with the joy and happiness of the occasion. Mr. William H. Earnest, was first speaker of the evening. He appeared in response to a call from Mr. W. F. R. Murrie, who was unable to attend on account of unavoidable reasons. Mr. Earnest, very appropriatel y assigned the Preamble to the Constitution of the American Legion, as a basis for his re-marks. Briefly, he analyzed it , phrase after phrase, in a very interesting and impressive fashion. His address, all too brief , was thoroughly enjoyed. Hon. A. S. Kreider , of Annville , for almost an hour held the close attention and interest of the crowded house. He related experiences encountered during a tour of the battle-torn and devastated sections of France and Belgium and of a further journey into Italy, Germany, England and other sections, which were "back areas" while hostilities were in progress. He spoke in terms of greatest praise for every man of the A. E. F. and extoled their valor, lie spoke highly of the great service rendered by the many who, unable to cross the seas, served in this country with the same zeal and willing devotion-. He charged all ex-service men with the vast responsibilities confronting them during times of peace, and expressed The John Elder Men 's Bible Class, with pleasure announce the second number of their Lyceum Course, for Thursday evening, November 18. Miss Athel Lin-dor l't , harpist , and Miss Florence Zander , reader and impersonator known to the Lyceum world as "The Zandorff Enter-tainer 's," are engaged for this occasion. The harp has always held a deep place in the hearts of the people. It is among the earliest known of all musical instru-ments. But the harp of today is much different from that of early times. The modern harp possesses three thousand separate pieces of mechanism and there are few who master it in all its complexity. Miss Lindorff is fast becoming known as one of America 's talented harpists. She is hailed in Chicago and other large cities its <i most successful entertainer. Miss Zander is a clever character im-personator who has hud » successful Lyceum and Chautauqua experience. Her readings and impersonations never fail to entertain and also to provide food for good, clean thought. The program of these two gifted enter-tainers is notable for its verve and variety. Everyone who attends the Central Theatre on November 18, will find the Zandorff Entertainers an attraction which pleases thoroughly , It is assured their Concert will fully' measure up to the finest a I ler-shoy audience has ever listened to, ' Program will start at 8:15. Tickets and reserved seats may be secured at box office of theatre. SECOND LYCEUM COURSE NUM-BER ON THURSDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 18 Adj. Mease, who is arranging the basketball schedule for the Post team, is having no trouble in securing first class attractions. He has received so many requests f or a place on the schedule that quite a number of them had to be nega - tived. This circumstance , however, has enabled him to arrange games with only the better class of teams and as a conse-quence , Hershey will be treated to some good basket-ball during the coming months.

Full Text | Red Cross Roll Call Now in Progress; Have You J oined? The fourth Annual Red Cross "Roll Call" is now in progress and will continue until Thanksgiving Thursday, November 25. A drive by the local chapter was opened on Monday of this week. Solicitors are canvassing the entire community. Have you joined? Perhaps you were missed for some reason or other, which , however, should not act as a deterrent in your desire to join. You surely owe it to your-self and to your fellow-beings to become a member of this wonderful organization of mercy,—one of the greatest institutions God has ever prompted mankind to per-petuate. Any member of the local chapter will be glad to receive your contribution which will enroll you as a member. Or there are agencies anywhere which will be glad to accommodate you. The extent to which the American Red Cross has entered into the lives of the people at large is not generally known. In Pennsylvania and Delaware alone, during the past year, the first full year of operation under the comprehensive peace program, this great organization has given aid to more than a half million of people. At present, of these activities, the public health and nursing service is the most far-reaching in its effects. The Red Cross is actively co-operating with Dr. Edward Martin , State. Director of Public Health , to aid in the betterment of public health and he recognizes the power for good, of the organization. Nursing ser-vices have been established by many Chapters throughout the state. During the first six months of the year in the nursing service in Pennsylvania , the public health nurses made 44 ,537 visits. There arc now sixty-five nursing services established and eighty-fou r nurses are employed in tin. public health service. Kach nurse has averaged 115 visits per month to sick who are unable to secure proper attention Jor themselves. Pennsylvania ,>as a great manufacturing and mining state has annually about 8500 fatal accidents and about 45000 non-fatal ones. A non-fatal accident may easily result in deatl) of the victim unless prompt and efficient aid be given and this is what the Red Cross First Aid teaches. A very considerable number of lives are saved annually by means of the Red Cross First Aid service. During the fust six months of 1920, the Red Cross conducted 41 First Aid classes in which were 1245 students , of whom 711 received certificates of graduation. This number will be greatly increased before the class of the year. No stronger evidence of the efficiency and preparedness of the Red Cross can be shown than in the influenza epidemic of two years ago. Due to the Red Cross nursing resources thousands of lives were saved in Pennsylvania. They gave food,' fuel and money where necessary until the unfortunates were again self-supporting. During the first six months of 1920, the Red Cross conducted 226 classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, 77 in-structors teaching 3845 students most of whom passed satisfactory examinations. In the first part of 1920 Home Service has been rendered in about 20,000 cases and including various entertainments given by the Red Cross, the Home Ser-vice alone came in contact with almost 200,000 persons in the state. The Red Cross pays special attention to the health of the baby and in the first half of 1920 baby welfare centers were opened by 30 chapters with enormously good results. It is impossible to say how many little lives were saved by the Red Cross and how much suffering prevented but the number is undoubtedly very large. Many special activities are also con-ducted. The Delaware Chapter main-tains an efficient Motor Corps which takes the nurses from place to place, rushes desperate cases to the hospitals and gives pleasure rides to the aged and the poorer children. Hygiene dispensaries, dental clinics, free community centers and rest rooms, continuation schools to enable those who must work to continue their studies, suppl ying needy children with clothing, nurses recreation house at hospitals, organization of Little Mothers' League, First Aid Tents at County Fairs, Health Centers with Health Nurses, furnishing food , fuel , garments and other supplies to families in distress—-these are some of the special activities which various Chapters throughout the state are con-ducting. And the good thus accomplish-de can hardly be measured. On these wonderful achievements the Red Cross asks the people for their indorsement in the present Roll Call. This splendid record has been made on one dollar memberships. Every resident of Pennsylvania who has at heart the welfare of his Community and of his fellow-men should withou t hesitation join the Red Cross in the 1920 Roll Call. A wedding of interest throughout Hershey, was solemnized on Wednesday morning, November 17, at 10:00 o'clock , at the St. Mary 's Catholic Church , Lancaster , when Miss Mary Kauffman became the bride of Mr. Charles Wid-myer. The bride is I lie. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Kauffman , of Lancaster. She has been employed in Hershey for about, six years. She had been cashier at the Cafe and Dining Room and later on the personnel of the Sales Record De-pa! tment , in the office of the Chocolate Company. While here she won and held a host, of friends. She was of sunny disposition , always cheerful and possessed many rare charms and capabilities. To know her was to admire her. She was an active member in I lie T. A. A. Club of (he Y. W. C. A„ which organization sadly misses Iter since she has gone. The most sincere wishes for a long life filled with health , success and happiness, in abund-ance, are bestowed upon her by these many Hershey friends. After a wedding trip to New York City, the newly weds will be at home at 411 Si. .Joseph Street , Lancaster , Pa. MISS MARY KAUFFMAN A BRIDE "Humoresque" is a most appealing story from the pen of Fannie Hurst. The intensely human atmosphere of the novel has been incorporated into the picture with wonderful success. The story centers around Leon Kantor, a boy of the Ghetto, who shows an intense love for music. His mother- who has always wanted a musician-son, is de-lighted and on his seventh birthday buys him a violin. Leon's playmate is pretty Gina Ginsburg. Fifteen years later, Leon is a recognized genius. On the night of his triumph at a big concert given for his people of the Ghetto, he enlists. Leon returns from France with a shattered shoulder and it is said that he will never be able to play the violin again. Leon's music is his all. He becomes morose and discouraged . Before the war he had be-come engaged to Gina. Now he wishes to release her from marrying him—a cripple. But in a very wonderful way he is restored to full strength and , to the joy of his mother and Gina, turns toward new con-quests in the realm of music. It's a picture that makes the hopes and joys and tears of plain folks live on the screen. It contains more pathos than "The Music Master." It has more whole-some fun than "Potash and Perlmutter." "Humoresque" is very close to every human heart, and is one of the photoplay masterpieces of all time. It will be exhibited at the Central Theatre on November 24 and 25—don't fail to see it. "Humoresque " Film of Intense Appeal to be Shown Here MRS.

Fitting Service Held in Com-memoration of Armistice Day a full confidance that they would remain the strong, right arm of the government in preserving peace, justice and the great principals of democracy. As a member of Congress, it was very fitting he should present to each ex-service man present the Victory Medal, which has been given by Congress, as a token of the debt the government owes to its veterans of the World War. Seventy men received their medals, each , in turn , receiving the applause of the house, as they briskly stepped to the front. • The special musical numbers were ex-ceedingly, pleasing and were as follows : Piano Solo, Mrs. J. Landis Zimmerman : Vocal Solo, Miss Martha Keeney ; Vocal Duet, Mrs. W. F. Harvey and Miss Anna Harlan; Instrumental trio, the Misses Angeline, Josephine and Adeline Ferucci. The selections were beautiful and ren-dered in an expecially delightf ul way. The large crowd accorded each selection spontaneous and prolonged applause and would not desist until encores were given . Miss Lydia Weltmer very ably accom-panied the vocalists. The song-fest, led by Mr. Charles F. Zeigler, was a distinct feature of the pro-gram. With an enthusiasm, as when during the war, every person present joined in this happy feature. "There Are Smiles," "There 's a long, long trail ," "Pack up your troubles," etc., were sung in most impressive manner and every soul felt the thrill and joy of the moment. Mr. Clark Bare presided at the piano dur-ing the "Sing." Rev. R. H. Taylor , rendered the invo-cation and also the Benediction. Altogether it was a splendid evening, full of good things for every one present. The program was immensely enjoyed and it is safe to say every one who partici pated in t his Armistice Day Service , felt im-measurably benefited thereby . The boys were so well pleased that they are already looking forward to a greater Armistitte Day in 1921. As a national day it has come to stay. The succeeding years will tend only to make it more sacred and more memorable to us all. To those good people who so kindly subscribed by lending their splendid talent , to the success of this service, Hershey Post , of the American Legion, herein extends its most sincere gratitude. A very fitting and altogether appro-priate service, in Commemoration of Armistice Day, was held in the Central Theatre, on Thursday evening, November, 11. The service was held under the auspices of Hershey Post, No. 386, of the American Legion. A committee, ap-pointed from the Post ,- made all necessary arrangements and very successfully was their work done. Though the meeting was arranged by the local Post, of the American Legion, it was really a Community service and not a distinctive meeting for any particular organization. Splendidly did the Com-munity respond for the theatre was well nigh taxed to capacity. Ex-service men to the number of seventy, attended as a body and occupied a reserved section of the theatre. A generous outburst of applause greeted them as they marched down the middle aisle to their seats. They were firm of step, with the lustre of youth sparkling in their eyes, while their buoyant spirit seemed to charge the atmosphere with the joy and happiness of the occasion. Mr. William H. Earnest, was first speaker of the evening. He appeared in response to a call from Mr. W. F. R. Murrie, who was unable to attend on account of unavoidable reasons. Mr. Earnest, very appropriatel y assigned the Preamble to the Constitution of the American Legion, as a basis for his re-marks. Briefly, he analyzed it , phrase after phrase, in a very interesting and impressive fashion. His address, all too brief , was thoroughly enjoyed. Hon. A. S. Kreider , of Annville , for almost an hour held the close attention and interest of the crowded house. He related experiences encountered during a tour of the battle-torn and devastated sections of France and Belgium and of a further journey into Italy, Germany, England and other sections, which were "back areas" while hostilities were in progress.
