Harrisburg's quota for the relief funds to aid the Japanese in the earthquake zone is $10,000 according to information re-ceived by the Harrisburg chapter of the Red Cross from the national headquarters division. . The Harrisburg district includes Hum-melstown, Hershey, the upper part of Dauphin County, all of Perry County, the West Shore, including New Cumber-land, Camp Hill, Lemoyne, Eberly's Mills, West Fairview and Endla. Subscriptions are to be made to the treasurers of the auxiliaries in these towns or at the Hbg. Red Cross office at Second and South streets, or to the Dauphin Deposit Trust Company at 213 Market street. Govenor Pinchot has appealed to the generosity of Pennsylvania in a proclama-tion asking the citizens to give "of their plenty" to alleviate suffering in the Orient. He said he or the Red Cross will transmit the offering. His proclamation follows: "The people of Japan are suffering under a disaster whose vastness we at a" distance can hardly appreciate. We are their friends and have been longer than any other modern nation; they need our assistance; and we would like to help. In order to lighten the enormous burden of suffering which now weighs upon them, I appeal to the people of Pennsylvania, whose generosity has never failed, to give of their plenty for the stricken people of Japan. In order to avoid wasted effort, I sug-gest that all contributions be sent either to the chairman of the American National Red Cross, at Washington: to any local Red Cross Chapter; or to the Governor of Pennsylvania. Any of these agencies will see that every sum contributed, however small, is used promptly and effectively for the relief of suffering in one of the most dreadful calamities in human history." Ask $10,000 From This District for Japan Lebanon Male Chorus To Sing at Park Sunday The Lebanon Male Chorus will give another one of their enjoyable concerts at Hershey Park on Sunday afternoon , Sept. 9th, at 2.30 o'clock.

Hepting pitched a great game, striking out 8 men, arid should have been credited with a shutout but Killinger made a beautiful heave to Heffelfinger (mistaking him for Alberts), with two men on bases, two men out, ana two strikes on the batter, resulting in two runs coming in. The other two runs were also free will offerings. The Hershey team was out with their big sticks, swatting out 11 bingles. The score should have oeen larger, but some-how or other the Hersheyites weren't able to do the trick.

Palmyra-Hershey Road Best In This Vicinity In reference to an article printed in last week's issue of the "Press", we have received a letter from the editor of "Motor Mention", which we are pleased to print, as follows: "I drove over this certain stretch of road last evening, August.31, and I am sure I did not get any bumps. I would say that the road is just as smooth as it is possible to make a macadam road. I do not pretend to know how to build a road, but I can see the wisdom of letting a resurfaced road set for such a length of time as is required to work the finer stone down into the coarser stone so that when the binding oil is applied there will not be any soft places underneath for the binder to break and cause small holes. The length of time that is required to cure a road depends entirely upon the amount of traffic which is going over it. In my capacity I have observed several different stretches of road which were built in exactly the same way, and which today after a number of years of use are consid-ered the best road in their respective vicinities, and more, the maintenance cost has been trifling. I am led to think that where the article refers to the number of miles of concrete road that could have been built with the money spent on this Palmyra-Hershey road, the writer had no figures as to the cost of the present road, nor of the cost of concrete roads. When the road is finished, you will be compelled to agree with me that it is one of the best in that vicinity." |With reference to the article in last week's issue relative to the newly surfaced road between Hershey and Palmyra, we wish to state that we were misinformed concerning condition, type and cost of this road, and do not doubt that the road was well constructed and will give good service]. Hershey flolstein Heifers In Big Demand Last week twelve Holstcin heifers were shipped to Raymond DeLong, of Bowers, Pa,, who is a breeder of high-grade cattle. These heifers were an exceptional lot of Holstclns and were a credit to the Hershey farms. There Is quite a demand for these heifers, and the number sold this year totals more than two hundred. loud Speakef To Help the Loan the State administration is laying its plans to carry to the people of the State arguments in favor of authorizing the $50,000,000 highway bond issue at the November election. The State Highway Department is considering sending some of its trucks, equipped with large amplifiers and a battery of speakers, to the county fairs, to harangue the fair crowds on reasons why the road bond issue should bo voted for. , Governor Pinchot will make a speaking tour of the State in the Fall and to expected to Include n plea for the bond Issue in his speeches. Ho is also planning a scries of radio talks and addresses on the subject. It Is said he has also considered pinna of having the various chambers of commerce and similar organizations organize In sup-port of the Constitutional amendment for the bond iMue. Hershey Kindergarten OpensJtertJIonday The Hershey Kindergarten will open on Monday, September 10th, in the Hershey Central Theatre building. The Kinder-garten will be in cliarge of Miss Margaret Good, of Harrisburg, who was in charge last year. More than thirty kiddies have been enrolled. Probably no other part of. the school, system does its work so well as the kinder-garten, which deals with children generally between 4 and 6 years of age. It was planned by a very wise man, Freldrich Frobel, and it has been part of our system for fifty years. Cheap witticisms have often been turned against the kindergarten, with its babies, its enthusiastic young women teachers and its symbolic plays; but it has been a criticism born of igr norance. The principles and practices of the kindergarten rest in a profound knowl-edge of child nature, singularly developed for the time when Froebel lived, and in a wise vision of the meaning of life. Any intelligent observer who watches a good kindergarten for an hour cannot fail to see the children grow into citizenship in the little democracy gathered within the room. And the same qualities will enable the child when a man to be a good citizen of Hershey, of the United States and of the commonwealth of the world. Senator Leland Stanford had one son. who as a little child was sent to a kinder-garten. So profoundly was his father impressed by the training his child received that he devoted his past fortune to the creation of Stanford University, which he conceived as an expansion of the kinder-garten plan to cover the whole period of life. John Hopkins was established on the same fundamental principle. At present this country lack teachers and money for public education and there is a tendency everywhere to cut out expense. School boards are not often made up of educational experts and they are prone to say: "The little ones can wait; they will get it later." All the babies in the United States, American, Irish, Hebrew, German, Czech-slovak and Italian, must be Americanized. As many of their alien parents and friends as can be reached should be drawn to an understanding and acceptance of our national language, ideals and practices. The kindergarten should be extended and strengthened, just now_ as_ never before, because of the needVfor an orderly adjust-ment following the years of disruption through which we have just passed.

This week special pens, coops and tents are being erected to house the hundreds of high-class displays and exhibits which are being gathered from every corner of the county. Hershey School Building Has Become Too Small The Deny Township schools opened the last week in August with the largest en-rollment in the history of the school. In every grade there appeared a shortage of seating room. Due to untiring efforts of the janitors and the Principal these diffi-culties have almost all been overcome. Seats of all descriptions were salvaged and crowded into the rooms and gradings have been re-adjusted to fit the needs but even at this time there are eight little kiddies in one of the first rooms who have no seats and there is no possible way to give them seats. The rooms allotted to the High School originally were designed to ac-commodate 136 pupils and at this date 216 are occupying the same quarters, 57 of whom have no definite place that they can call their own. It is quite evident that additional school facilities will be needed by the fall of 1924. The enrollment by grades follows: 1st Grade, A Miss Dersheimer, teacher 48 B Miss Barton 46 C Miss Bergman 45 2nd GradeA MissDiller 39 B MissStauffer 30 C MissErb 31 3rd Grade A Miss Eckert 46 B Miss Rambo 46 4th Grade,A MissBeale 42 B MissErford : 41 C MissLady 37 5th Grade,A MissByer 44 B Mrs. Edwards 43 6th Grade,A Miss Foreman 39 B (No Teacher) 41 7th Grade,A Miss Hertzler 51 B MissMoore 31 8th Grade.A 90 9th Grade 51 lOth Grade 24 llth Grade 25 12th Grade , 26 Rural Schools: Stoverdale, Miss Fetrow, teacher 31 Waltonville, Miss Hocker, teacher.... 23 Sunnyside, Mr. Balsbaugh, teacher... 18 Gravel Hill, Mr. Hess, teacher 16 Total 1004 Fred Pronio s Orchestra To Give Concert Sunday On Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Fred Pronio's Park Orchestra will give their farewell concert of the season. Mr. Pronio has selected an unusually splendid program, every one of the num-bers beinga big hit. He will play "Yes, we have no Bananas", arid "Barney Google" as encores. There will be no heavy pieces, but all the numbers will be bright and snappy. You won't want to miss this concert, for it will be the treat of the season. It will be a long time until Fred and His Orchestra will be with us again, so let's turn out in large numbers and give the orchestra the glad hand. Fred and His Orchestra have given the music lovers of Lebanon Valley splendid concerts during the entire season, which were much appreciated. The only fault we have to find with the orchestra is that they make us wait too long between num-bers. However, such will not be the case this Sunday, things are going to go off with a vim and a dash—a worthy ending of a successful Park season. "Our Gab" Unanimously Re-elected President Tho he had many times expressed a desire to leave the office of national president of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, Gabriel H. Moyer, of Lebanon, Pa., was literally iforced' to again <take the post last week by the national camp. When the chairman of the meeting announced the nominations for the pres-idency were open, men in all sections of the spacious ballroom leaped to their feet shouting Mover's name. It was as tho some one had pressed an electric button, afar in an instant the entire body of dele-gates, numbering close to 1000, were on their feet applauding and cheering the man from upstate who has led the organization four years. Through all the wild demon-stration Mr. Mover stood on the stage of the ballroom smiling and bowing acknowl-edgement. As soon as order could be restored it was moved and seconded the nominations for the post of president be closed. Thus Mr. Moyer continues to lead for another two years an organization with which he affiliated himself when he was 16 years old. Characterization of Graver Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft-dodger, as a "disloyal coward,'1 and a recommendation for registration and constant supervision of all aliens were high lights of an address de-livered before tho National Camp by Mr. Moyer. He also urged revision of the order's membership regulations to enable naturalized citizens to j oin. "Our opposition to the alien is due to the fact so many fail to become citizens," he said, "and seem utterly incapable of under-standing anything American, This order never has opposed the aliens who have come here to become Americans, in thought and attitude. But we know from experience that many who have found asylum here and amassed fortunes. Have not been of the typo we have wished to welcome. "The notorious Bergdoll proved that even the second generation could bo' dis-loyal and cowardly, Therefore, we must not relax our stand on the immigration question. We concur in the demand of Secretary of Labor Davis that all aliens be registered at the expense of the aliens themselves." Red Cross Meeting The Hershey Red Cross will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday afternoon, September 10th, at their rooms In the Hershey Central Theatre, at which time several very Important matters will be discussed and plans laid to help stricken Japan, It is urged that all of the members Attend tho meeting on Monday afternoon.

Harrisburg's quota for the relief funds
to aid the Japanese in the earthquake zone
is $10,000 according to information re-ceived
by the Harrisburg chapter of the
Red Cross from the national headquarters
division.
. The Harrisburg district includes Hum-melstown,
Hershey, the upper part of
Dauphin County, all of Perry County,
the West Shore, including New Cumber-land,
Camp Hill, Lemoyne, Eberly's Mills,
West Fairview and Endla. Subscriptions
are to be made to the treasurers of the
auxiliaries in these towns or at the Hbg.
Red Cross office at Second and South
streets, or to the Dauphin Deposit Trust
Company at 213 Market street.
Govenor Pinchot has appealed to the
generosity of Pennsylvania in a proclama-tion
asking the citizens to give "of their
plenty" to alleviate suffering in the Orient.
He said he or the Red Cross will transmit
the offering.
His proclamation follows:
"The people of Japan are suffering
under a disaster whose vastness we at a"
distance can hardly appreciate. We are
their friends and have been longer than
any other modern nation; they need our
assistance; and we would like to help. In
order to lighten the enormous burden of
suffering which now weighs upon them, I
appeal to the people of Pennsylvania,
whose generosity has never failed, to give
of their plenty for the stricken people of
Japan.
In order to avoid wasted effort, I sug-gest
that all contributions be sent either to
the chairman of the American National
Red Cross, at Washington: to any local
Red Cross Chapter; or to the Governor of
Pennsylvania. Any of these agencies will
see that every sum contributed, however
small, is used promptly and effectively for
the relief of suffering in one of the most
dreadful calamities in human history."

Hershey Adds Another
Victory To Their String
Hershey defeated West Shore before a
large crowd on Labor Day by a score of 5
to 4. Hepting pitched a great game,
striking out 8 men, arid should have been
credited with a shutout but Killinger made
a beautiful heave to Heffelfinger (mistaking
him for Alberts), with two men on bases,
two men out, ana two strikes on the batter,
resulting in two runs coming in. The
other two runs were also free will offerings.
The Hershey team was out with their
big sticks, swatting out 11 bingles. The
score should have oeen larger, but some-how
or other the Hersheyites weren't able
to do the trick.
The score is as follows:

Palmyra-Hershey Road
Best In This Vicinity
In reference to an article printed in last
week's issue of the "Press", we have
received a letter from the editor of "Motor
Mention", which we are pleased to print,
as follows:
"I drove over this certain stretch of road
last evening, August.31, and I am sure I
did not get any bumps. I would say that
the road is just as smooth as it is possible
to make a macadam road. I do not
pretend to know how to build a road, but
I can see the wisdom of letting a resurfaced
road set for such a length of time as is
required to work the finer stone down into
the coarser stone so that when the binding
oil is applied there will not be any soft
places underneath for the binder to break
and cause small holes. The length of time
that is required to cure a road depends
entirely upon the amount of traffic which
is going over it.
In my capacity I have observed several
different stretches of road which were built
in exactly the same way, and which today
after a number of years of use are consid-ered
the best road in their respective
vicinities, and more, the maintenance cost
has been trifling.
I am led to think that where the article
refers to the number of miles of concrete
road that could have been built with the
money spent on this Palmyra-Hershey
road, the writer had no figures as to the
cost of the present road, nor of the cost of
concrete roads.
When the road is finished, you will be
compelled to agree with me that it is one
of the best in that vicinity."
|With reference to the article in last
week's issue relative to the newly surfaced
road between Hershey and Palmyra, we
wish to state that we were misinformed
concerning condition, type and cost of this
road, and do not doubt that the road was
well constructed and will give good service].

Heifers In Big Demand
Last week twelve Holstcin heifers were
shipped to Raymond DeLong, of Bowers,
Pa,, who is a breeder of high-grade cattle.
These heifers were an exceptional lot of
Holstclns and were a credit to the Hershey
farms. There Is quite a demand for these
heifers, and the number sold this year
totals more than two hundred.

To Help the Loan
the State administration is laying its
plans to carry to the people of the State
arguments in favor of authorizing the
$50,000,000 highway bond issue at the
November election.
The State Highway Department is
considering sending some of its trucks,
equipped with large amplifiers and a
battery of speakers, to the county fairs, to
harangue the fair crowds on reasons why
the road bond issue should bo voted for. ,
Governor Pinchot will make a speaking
tour of the State in the Fall and to expected
to Include n plea for the bond Issue in his
speeches. Ho is also planning a scries of
radio talks and addresses on the subject.

having the various chambers of commerce

Hershey Kindergarten
OpensJtertJIonday
The Hershey Kindergarten will open on
Monday, September 10th, in the Hershey
Central Theatre building. The Kinder-garten
will be in cliarge of Miss Margaret
Good, of Harrisburg, who was in charge
last year. More than thirty kiddies have
been enrolled.
Probably no other part of. the school,
system does its work so well as the kinder-garten,
which deals with children generally
between 4 and 6 years of age. It was
planned by a very wise man, Freldrich
Frobel, and it has been part of our system
for fifty years. Cheap witticisms have
often been turned against the kindergarten,
with its babies, its enthusiastic young
women teachers and its symbolic plays;
but it has been a criticism born of igr
norance. The principles and practices of
the kindergarten rest in a profound knowl-edge
of child nature, singularly developed
for the time when Froebel lived, and in a
wise vision of the meaning of life.
Any intelligent observer who watches a
good kindergarten for an hour cannot fail
to see the children grow into citizenship in
the little democracy gathered within the
room. And the same qualities will enable
the child when a man to be a good citizen
of Hershey, of the United States and of the
commonwealth of the world.
Senator Leland Stanford had one son.
who as a little child was sent to a kinder-garten.
So profoundly was his father
impressed by the training his child received
that he devoted his past fortune to the
creation of Stanford University, which he
conceived as an expansion of the kinder-garten
plan to cover the whole period of
life. John Hopkins was established on the
same fundamental principle.
At present this country lack teachers and
money for public education and there is a
tendency everywhere to cut out expense.
School boards are not often made up of
educational experts and they are prone to
say: "The little ones can wait; they will get
it later."
All the babies in the United States,
American, Irish, Hebrew, German, Czech-slovak
and Italian, must be Americanized.
As many of their alien parents and friends
as can be reached should be drawn to an
understanding and acceptance of our
national language, ideals and practices.
The kindergarten should be extended and
strengthened, just now_ as_ never before,
because of the needVfor an orderly adjust-ment
following the years of disruption
through which we have just passed.

Dauphin Co. Grange
Fair Sept 1244
Every imaginable kind of product from
the forms of Dauphin County, from prlzo
bulls and pedigreed hogs to cluny loco and
apple butter Is to be on exhibition at the
second annual Dauphin County Grange
Fair to bo held September 12, 13 and 14 at
New Pnxtang Park , Harrisburg.
The fair Is being conducted under the
auspices of the Dauphin County Grange
Fair association, backed by 1000 Grangers,
and Is designed as a show place for Dau-phin-
County products, where neighbors
may compare crops and meet friends from
other sections of the county,
With an unprecedented number' of ex-hibits
being entered, the fair promises to
excel that of last year which drew thou-sands
of people from all sections of the
county to the exposition grounds Just eaat
of Harrisburg. This week special pens,
coops and tents are being erected to house
the hundreds of high-class displays and
exhibits which are being gathered from
every corner of the county.
Hershey School Building
Has Become Too Small
The Deny Township schools opened the
last week in August with the largest en-rollment
in the history of the school. In
every grade there appeared a shortage of
seating room. Due to untiring efforts of
the janitors and the Principal these diffi-culties
have almost all been overcome.
Seats of all descriptions were salvaged and
crowded into the rooms and gradings have
been re-adjusted to fit the needs but even
at this time there are eight little kiddies in
one of the first rooms who have no seats
and there is no possible way to give them
seats. The rooms allotted to the High
School originally were designed to ac-commodate
136 pupils and at this date 216
are occupying the same quarters, 57 of
whom have no definite place that they can
call their own.
It is quite evident that additional school
facilities will be needed by the fall of 1924.
The enrollment by grades follows:
1st Grade, A Miss Dersheimer, teacher 48
B Miss Barton 46

Fred Pronio s Orchestra
To Give Concert Sunday
On Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Fred
Pronio's Park Orchestra will give their
farewell concert of the season.
Mr. Pronio has selected an unusually
splendid program, every one of the num-bers
beinga big hit. He will play "Yes, we
have no Bananas", arid "Barney Google"
as encores. There will be no heavy
pieces, but all the numbers will be bright
and snappy. You won't want to miss this
concert, for it will be the treat of the
season. It will be a long time until Fred
and His Orchestra will be with us again, so
let's turn out in large numbers and give
the orchestra the glad hand.
Fred and His Orchestra have given the
music lovers of Lebanon Valley splendid
concerts during the entire season, which
were much appreciated. The only fault
we have to find with the orchestra is that
they make us wait too long between num-bers.
However, such will not be the case
this Sunday, things are going to go off with
a vim and a dash—a worthy ending of a
successful Park season.
