The Hershey Press 1922-07-06

              The Al. Luttringer Stock Company, at the
Park Theatre, is going srtong in each pro-duction.
They spent a very profitable and
successful season here last year. Their pro-ductions
were firs t class and were thoroughly
enjoyed so that they were able to bid good-bye
at the season's close with the knowledge
that they were leaving a large number of
friends. This circle of friends is growing.a
fact no one will dispute after attending several
of this season's productions. Every per-formance
is of unusually high standard and
all one can hear are expression s of praise for
the work of the entire company.
The latter half of this week will be pre-sented
"The Two Orphans," which for more
than two generations has charmed the theatre
goers in all lands and climes. It has been
translated into all known languages and
generations of playgoers have alternately
laughed and wept through the adventures of
the two blind sisters, Henriette and Louise,
around whom the story revolves. In the
troubles and terrors of these two girls the
play has a strong heart appeal. The cast
will be augmented for this production, stage
settings will be unusually pretty, and each
member of the company will be found in a
role that will perfectly fit them. Everybody
is talking about "The Two Orphans" and
everybody, it seems, is making arrangements
to attend this production, so that a splendid
attendance is expected each evening.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July
10, 11 and 12, "The Heart of the Hills" a
story with a big punch and a neat vein of
clean comedy will be presented. The first
act is laid in a ranch house in Arizona where
is met a number of natural characters of all
classes. "The Heart of the Hills" is a play
similar to the famous play, "The Great Di-vide,"
but it tells a better story and is more
modern in structure. The entire company is
well cast, which is ample assurance, "The
Heart of the Hills" will please.
The latter half of next week Mr. Luttringer
has purchased the rights to produce "Turn
Back the Hours." This play is said to be
more entertaining than "The Eyes of Youth,"
made famous by Marjory Rambo. "Turn
Back the Hours," is a surprise play which
will give Miss Kingsley her best chance of
the season. It is filled with roars of laughter,
thrilling situations and bright lines. Have
you ever thought of "Turning Back the
Hours" in your own life? Some of us would
greatly benefit by doing so. In the plot of
this play Miss Kingsley, a selfish young
society girl is transformed from her above
character to that of a little ragged alley waif
homeless and motherless. However with the
change comes a better woman, one that is
filled with mirth, kind hearted and generous.
Together with the home of wealth, the den
of thieves and crooks, the play has plenty of
color. "Turn Back the Hours" will be one
of the biggest and best plays of the season.
MOTHER'S CLUB WILL OPEN TEA
HOUSE
For the purpose of rendering such aid as
will make possible the continuance of the
Kindergarten School , Mr. Hcrshey will per-mit
the use of the Club House on East.
Chocolate Ave., as a very attractive Ten
House. Mr. Hershey's offer is very generous
for he purposes to practically complete all
arrangements leading up to the establish-ment
of the Tea House which will he con-ducted
and controlled by the Hcrshey
Mother's Club. , . . . .,
A tour, for the purpose of visiting other
Tea Houses that are being successfully
managed, will be made, and nothing will be
left undone that will tend to make of this
Tea House, a very attractive and inviting
place to rest and to aecure delightful refresh-ments,
"if"" . . .
Definite plans will be completed with as
little delay as possible, so that the project
may be gotten under way before jhe summer
season closes. Announcements will be made
as the project develops for it is expected the
entire community will be very deeply inter-ested.

Heavy hitting^featured the game of Friday
evening, when the U. B. handed the Lutheran
a severe trouncing, in a S. S. League contest.
The final score was 13 to 4.
The Lutherans opened, Miller getting a
walk, but was thrown out at second by M.
Swartz on Leithis.er's slow grounder, Bill
reaching first. Bill attempted a steal of
second continued moving when Zimmie's
throw went wild and scored when the ball
rolled through C. Swartz's shins in centre.
Daniels whiffed an3 Alberts poled a long fly
to left that Hoerner pulled in.
C. Swartz, with the count three and two,
nicked a* beauty on the nose, opening the
Brethren half with a three-sacker. Daniels
put on speed and set M. Swartz down on
strikes. E. Zimmerman got a pass and stole
second. Bill was on the job howevervand by
balking a throw to second drew Charley off
third. The ball was shot to Albert who
tagged Charley for a clever out. .Garman
fanned the breeze for the third out.
In the second Paps sent Copenhaver and
Cole back to the bench on strikes. Shultz
was pased, stole second, and went to third
on Mahon's single, a slow roller along third
Shiffer was unable to help his pals along and
flied out to M. Swartz.
Garman walked, Hoerner and Stover were
hit, Aungst ullowed and having over-run the
bag was thrown out on Mahon's quick
return. Paps also poled out a double and
then Daniels retreated, just as Napoleon must
have done when he ran into Wellington at
Waterloo. Copenhaver shouldered the hurl-ing
burden, walked the first man to face him,
and continued the hectic work by heaving
the ball wild at first in a play on M. Swartz,
who continued to second. At this juncture
four runs had been scored, C. Swartz was
on third, and his brother Mark on second,
with another brother Elmer, at the stick.
Miller put a quick stop to the fireworks by
picking off Elmer's hot liner and touching
second for an out on Mark, completing a
pretty double killing unassisted.
The Lutherans got two in their third turn
at bat. Miller and Leithiser were away
when Daniels started things with a double.
Albert drew a pass, and stole second, Dan
having vacated the keystone sack when
Zimmie let a fast one go through him.
Copenhaver surprised by sending a scorching
single through Aungst while Dan. and Al.
scored. Cole whiffed for the third out.
Copenhaver looked about the same to the
hard hitting Brethren and the heavy artillery
bombardment continued. A round-tripper
two three-sackers, a single, two walks and an
error gave them six more runs in this frame.
Pups was working in top-notch form in the
fourth and sat the Lutheran s down in order.
Albert relieved Copenhaver when the U.
B. opened the fourth and seemed to be a
vast improvement. Garmari popped to Al.
Hoerner was walked and stole second, dying
there since Stover could do no better than
pop to third, and Aungst also went out on a
pop to Al.

The holiday spirit brought to' Hershey oil
Tuesday, July 4, a great throng of pleasure
seekers who came from far and near to spend
the day and to be happy amid the good things
provided. There were approximately thirty
thousand visitors to Hershey on this day,
coming in auto, train, trolley and surry, while
many others depended solely upon the good
old fashioned method of transportation—
"Shenk's inare."
Hershey Park once again sustained its
reputation as being an ideal summer re-creation
and amusement centre. Not one
who mingled with the laughing throng would
gainsay the claim that Hershey is becoming
more popular with its thousands of patrons,
as season follows season. The sparkle in
every'eye, the glow on every cheek, the song
on laughing lips,—these were positive indica-tions
of the pure delight and deep pleasure
which filled every heart. Every where one
went, whether to the swimming lake where
thousands refreshed themselves in the cool
pure water and were thrilled by the exciting
ride on the water coaster ; whether to the
theatre, where many others in a quieter way
enjoyed an excellent production of the story
"The Bandit Man;" whether to the mammoth
dance floor where crowds during the day
"tripped-the-light-fantastic" through an
alluring fox trot or a fascinating waltz;
whether to the carrousel, or the zoological
garden, or the canoeing lake, or the miniature
railway, or the concerts, or the ball-game,—
no matter where—one caught the unrhistaka-able
spirit which moved the crowds and with
them laughed and was happy.
One of the chief factors in the success of
the day was the Hershey Transit Co. For
efficiency in operation and all around service
they established a record on this Independence
Day to be prowd of and one to cause other
Traction Companies to become genuine!*'
envious.
Of the thirty thousand people who came
here on Tuesday, the large portion came on
street cars. From early morning till late at
night every available car was pressed into
service and a heavy haul continued through-out
the entire day. A special schedule was
in operation, with extra cars running on each
division. It is safe to say twenty thousand
people rode on Hershey Transit Co. cars on
this day and from all that vast number not
one complaint has been heard nor accident
reported.
It was a great day in the history of the
park and worthy of special mention is the
splendid management evident everywhere
and the excellent service which was accorded
every patron. Capably and wisely had
every necessary provision (or the comf ort
and convenience of a record crowd been
made and the manner in which this vast
number of people was taken care of reflects
worlds of credit upon the management.
HERSHEY BY WIDE MARGIN
Hershey had little trouble defeating the
s'rong Kelker A. C, of Harrisburg, on Tues-day
afternoon, by the score of 7-t. While
local hitters were pounding the ball to every
corner of the lot for a total of thirteen hits,
the visitors were unable to solve the delivery
of youthful J. Zimmerman. E. Swartz at
short played a bang up game, making a
number of big-time stops that made him look
like a Rahhit Mnranville. The score.

Great Throng at
Hershey Park on
Tuesday, July 4
Several of the buildings on the farm of
John H. Moyer, Sr., two mile East of Hershey
were completely destroyed on last Wednesday
evening by a fire that originated in a rather
peculiar way. The son, John- H. Moyer, Jr.,
had completed the day's work in the wheat
field and was returning to the barn, when
with hardly more than a hundred feet to go
the tractor stopped and an investigation
proved the gas tank was empty. Mr. Moyer
came into the garage with the purpose of
securing gas from the tank on his new Stude-baker.
He climbed under the car and as he
turned the valve there was a terrific explosion
and in an instant, seemingly, the entire car
was enveloped in flames. Before being able
to extricate himself, Mr. Moyer sustained bad
burns on the arms and body.
The flames quickly spread to the garage
ahd to a double story corn shed standing
close by. An alarm was telephoned to fire
companies in Hershey and Palmyra, and they
immediately responded, while the flames
shooting high into the air cast a reflection
that was plainly visible for several miles
bringing many farmers to the scene to help
prevent further spread of the fire. Efforts of
the fire fighters were confined to protecting
the farmhouse, barn and other buildings
against the ravaging flames. It was quite
a fortunate thing that the house is of brick
construction and the barn of stone for these
factors were unquestionably the only ones
that prevented greater loss. Without ade-quate
fire fighting facilities it would have
been almost impossible to save these build-ings
it they would have been of combustible
material.
HERSHEY TIES PAXTANG IN FINAL
Hershey met the strong Paxtang club on
Thursday evening on the local field and only
by a desperate spurt in the final frame were
able to turn what seemed to be a sure defeat
into an even break.
The visitors opened in vicious fashion.
Hoblitzel, first man up, went out at first.
Shaffer, Mackie and Ellenberger singled in
succession and scored aided by the miscues
of the local infield. Before "Patty's" squad
started anything, the visitors made it four
by virtue of Ellenberger's four base clout in
the third .
The locals got their first in the fourth.
R • Swartz singled into right garden, stole
second and was caught between the keystone
sack and third when he attempted to go
down on "Haps" roller to the pitcher.
After darting back and forth between enemy
players for several minutes he successfully
negotiated his advance to third when the
ball squirted out of B. Shaffer 's hands, on a
poor throw at the sack. Paps in the inter-im
had advanced to second. E. Zimmerman
poked a hit into centre and Swartz crossed
the rubber, "Paps" pulling up at third.
Hoerner knocked one to short and was thrown
out at first. Paps came in on the play but was
thrown out at the plate, Arnold very effect-ually
blocking him off.
Ilinklc had put the silencer on enemy
artillery and had them tra veling entirely
scoreless in the fourth and fifth . Came the
locals half of the fifth which Hinkcl opened
by going out at firs t, Ellenberger to Zcigler.
J. Zimmerman, who displaced Leithiser at
firs t in the third , registered a hit. Henry
followed with u safety, M. Swartz placed a
pretty bunt along third that was good for a
hit and the sacks were loaded . E. Swartz
Zentmeycr and E. Zimmerman each added a
hit to the column. C. Swartz was safe at
first on u fielder 's choice, his brother Elmer
being nipped al home on the play, I loonier
prevented furl her scoring by whiffing, ending
the inning and scoring also. Three runs were

The Executive Board of the Hershey
Mother's Club held an official meeting on
Thursday afternoon, June 29, to consider the
prospect of continuing the Hershey Kinder-garten.
An effort had been made to have
the Derry Township School Board assume
control of Kindergarten affairs but the
School Board, without funds or facilities ,
were unable to shoulder the responsibility.
The problem, therefor, comes back to the
Mother's Club, and be it said to their honor
and credit that they have courageously
decided to assume the responsibility during
another season.
The Kindergarten -will open again on
September 1. Miss Louise Lubrecht who
has had several successful seasons here, has
decided not to return. It will be hard to
replace Miss Lubrecht for she possesses un-usual
capabilities in this respect. The
Board, however will lose no time in engag-ing
the most capable teacher they can afford
to hire.
In a sense the Kindergarten will lose its
title as the Hershey Free Kindergarten, for
the Board has found it absolutely necessary
that some charge be made. In the next
season parents will be asked to pay the very
small sum of fifty cents per week for each
child, and it is hoped that there may be no
parent who will be unable to sustain this
almost insignificant cost. If there are such
parents it is believed that there will be found
among our citizens persons without children
who will be glad to contribute the necessary
sum so that among our boys and girls of
Kindergarten age there may not be found one
who will be obliged to forgo the advantages
of a Kindergarten training because of funds. lack of
"The Press" commends the ladies of the Mother's Club upon their decision to con- tinue the Kindergarten during another season.
We appeal to the good people to lend their hearty support to the Mother's Club in this splendid service and extend to the Mother's Club a sincere wish that success may reward their efforts.
LOCAL .YOUTH IS RADIO EXPERT
r, , o following interesting story is told by
Paul Seitzinger who lives at 26 Areba Ave., relating how he became absorbed in the study of radio and its development. From a
meagre beginning he now has a standard receiving set and entertains two evenings per week at his home.
The story runs as follows: "I became in- terested in 1914 through reading a series of
lorn Swift books which are of a scientific
nature. After the "radio bug" bit and disease set in, I read books and catalogues
and made use of all the information available.
I was about to install a receiving set when the
war broke out and all radio stations were closed by the government.
"After the war the disease broke out a^ain I got busy. My first set consisted of Ford
spark coil and some wire wound on a porcelain
tube for a transmitter, Another coil of wire and an ordinary "Indian Club" telephone
receiver comprised the receiver. This set was constructed at the electrical shop in the Hershey Store in about 10 minutes.
Tests were made then in which signals were transmitted a distance of 20 feet.
In the fall and winter of 1!)18-J» two sets
were built. The first, n crystal detector set and the second a set using a vacuum tube.
The crystal set was j unked and tho vacuum
tube set sold.
In the fall and winter of 1020-21 a three
tube set wos built and set up at tho II. II. S.
building on March 3, 11)21 the night before
Pres. Harding took the outh of offi ce. As it
was reported that Pres. Harding's address
waa to bo broadcasted by radiophone from
Arlington the set was gotten ready for
the event. All kinds of apparatus was collected for the event including a loud
speaker and dictaphone and a good bit of
"junk ." Everything went fine except
Harding's address was not broadcasted and
about 100 people were disappointed. At
the end of the school term the set was re-moved
and sold.
This winter a (I tube set was started but
due to scarcity of parts only a three tube set,
was built. It lasted one night and the next
part o" it burned up due |0 a short circuit.
About that time the "ling" bit harder and
the "disease" became worse. An elaborate
set was wished for but out of H ight (lack of
funds ) ami the idea of Helling apparatus was
conceived in order to equi p (ho station with
a better set. This idea wiih taken up and at
present, apparatus is being Hold under tho
name of lwiruduy ltadio Mcrvice for the bene-fit
of a bol ter station. Another sot was then
built , and a WeslinghmiHd net was put in as
stock. Now we can receive concert s, base-ball
scores, market rcportH , weather reports,
lectures, time signals, c'lmreh sermons and
numerous other Iliing n ho loud as to be heard
by neighbors who sit at their windows and
li sten.
On Monday night hnw 20 a lecture was
