The Hershey Press 1921-07-21

              The time is rapidly approaching for the
celebration of the annual community
picnic which the people of Hershey expect
to enjoy with the people of the com-munity.
This is an occasion when every
one should plan to meet his neighbor and
friend in a day's outing. Good fellowship
and freedom from restraint for at least one
day should better fit a man or woman to
meet the issues of the following days.
The call of the woods and the stream is
upon us. Let us answer the call and go
picnicking on Wednesday, Jul y 27.
The place chosen for the merry making
this year is Boiling Springs. The train
will leave Hershey at 7:45 a. m., Standard
Time and will stop at Hummelstown to
take on our friends from that place. After
that there will be no delay on our journey
through part of the beautiful Cumberland
Valley until we arrive at the Park. In the
evening the train will leave Boiling Spring
Park at 7:45 p. m., returning the pic-nickers
at a very seasonable hour.
The committee in charge of the sports
was never in better shape to offer amuse-ments
to all, both young and old, with a
generous lot of prizes for the winners.
The ticket sellers are now busy offering
tickets for the excursion to the people.
You can make it easy for the canvassers
if you will give, them a definite answer
when they call upon you the first time.
Please buy your tickets in advance. It is
almost impossible to accommodate every
one at the station on the morning pf the
picnic. The town has been divided into
sections and two ticket sellers provided
for that section.
The Basket Committee has made
arrangements to take care of the lunch
baskets. Specific places have been desig-nated
as centers where the baskets will be
collected and to which places they will
again be returned in the evening. These
places will be announced in all of the
Sunday Schools next Sunday morning.
Movements are on foot to provide
Orchestra music for the day. This is a
very desirable feature of a picnic. It is
sincerely hoped that the musicians of the
community will respond.
Six more days from the issue of this
paper until the date set for the picnic—
Wednesday, July 27. Begin now to get
ready for the gala day.

COUNTS VEHICLES AND PEDES
TRIANS
One day of each summer, David S.
Blauch , at his home, 646 N. Railroad
street, Palmyra, sitting "by the side of the
road" watches "the race of men go by. "
Vehicles of every sort and description ,
autos of many different models, motor-cycles
and bicycles—all go spinning by
carrying their precious cargo. Others,
less fortunate, use the more common
method of transportation and at a slower
gait they go walking by. Thus it was
that we find our good friend occupied on
Sunday, July 17. Autos 607, Trucks 56,
motorcycles 71, bicycles 14, teams 36,
pedestrians 253—these were tabulated
during the hours 5:30 a. m. and 8:00 p. m.
All hurrying by to unknown destinations.
The majority pleasure seeking, while
others perhaps on a more serious mission
bent. An interesting task and hobby
this. What an interesting study if one
should know the history of each, the
secrets, the passions, the desires, the inner
life of heart and mind of each one who
passed by in this Sunday 's caravan!
COMMUNITY SING
Don't forget the Community Sing to
be held on Friday evening, July 27, in the
Park. It will start at. 6:15 under the
direction of Mr. Charles F. Zeigler, who
is extraordinarily fitted to act. in thin
capacity. Song sheets will be distributed
Each song was carefully selected and you
may bo assured will prove catchy, singable!
and possessing a certain punch. A good
crowd is anticipated. Come out—sing
nhd he glad.

elected pastor ot Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church, was formally installed into the
pastorate on Sunday morning, July 17.
Dr. H. J. Waller, President of the Synod,
was unable to be present and deputized
the Rev. Frank Croman, of Elizabethtown,
President of the Lancaster Conference, to
preside at'the installation service.
Rev. Croman delivered the charge to
the congregation in a very intelligent and
understandable fashion. His remarks made
a firm impression on the large assembly
and were duly appreciated. Rev. H. H.
Krause, pastor of the Lutheran parish,
Auburn, Pa., was present and delivered
the charge to the pastor.
The choir under the direction of Mrs.
D. S. Graeff, rendered a very beautiful
anthem, "I will be Exalted." The attend-ance
numbered one hundred and fifty-nine,
this assembly being one of the largest
which has ever attended a church function
at Trinity Lutheran.

SWIMMER SUSTAINS SERIOUS
INJURY ' , , '
Our community means you—each one
of us—all of us. It is and can be a real
community only to that degree which the
least active and least helpful resident in it
is willing to make it. A chain is only as
strong as it 's weakest link and a com-munity
is only as strong,- only as enthusi-astic,
only as advanced in the things which
go to make up a pleasant, helpful, health-ful
and safe place to live, as each single
individual—you, make it.
A Community Nurse is yours. She
must mean to you who are enjoying health
in fullest measure an ever present necessity
for the hour of need. She must mean to
you who are sick, a daily visitor bringing
cheer and help. The healthy one may
never call upon her services and may
excuse himself or herself from the duty of
lending financial aid and assistance to
keep her in our midst. But the fact that
we have never had a fire and suffered a
single dollar's worth of loss, does not make
us cancel our fire insurance or cause us to
cease paying for the protection and the
fact that we have never had an accident
does not make us cancel our accident and
health insurance. We can't afford to take,
a chance. Neither can we afford to take
the chance of being without a Community
Nurse now that we have one in our com-munity.
The local Chapter of the Red Cross
secured a very competent nurse, Miss
Elizabeth High, and for the past six
months have supported her out of its
funds, giving to the Community her
services at no cost to any single person for
the many things she has accomplished
among the well and the sick. That the

"The Love of Su Shong," presented by
the Luttringer Stock Company at the
Park Theatre the first three nights of this
week, was a play of unusual merit and
appeal. A great deal had been claimed,
in advance notices, for this story of
Oriental atmosphere, but no one antici-pated
witnessing such a splendid produc-tion.
It was all and more that had been
claimed for it, for it may be safely said
that this story of the far East was the most
pretentious, the most difficult, and at the
same time, the most delightful offering
of the Luttringer Company since their
coming to the Park Theatre.
Miss Kingsley, as "Su Shong," the very
pretty daughter of "Tai Ling Chou"
(Kenneth Fleming), about whom revolved
in rapid fashion this story of love, hate,
fidelity, cruelty and treachery, was more
charming than in other character she
has yet been seen here. Her work was
excellent, absolutely without flaw, and
deserving of highest praise and commen-dation.
As "Patsy" in "That Girl Patsy," she
was adorable, as "Tessabel" in "Tess of
the Storm Country" she was decidedly
lovable, but as "Su Shong," she excelled
all preceding successes. On stage almost
through the entire course of the play, her
part was heavy, yet every line was in-telligently
read. Obliged to follow a wide
circle of human emotions—love, hate,
happiness, sorrow, pain, anxiety, sacrifice,
resignment, ultimate joy—she did so in a
fashion genuinely real, indelably imprint-ing
on the minds and hearts of all who saw
her, a picture of this storm-tossed, sun-kissed
beautiful little maiden of far off
China. It was the very finest bit of
acting we have ever seen here and as an
appreciation thereof, we earnestly hope
unmeasured success may follow her always.
Mr. Luttringer as "Richard Taber,"
the wealthy American who-finally won the
heart and hand of pretty "Su Shong,"
was splendid in his part, although com-paratively
light, it made no great demands
of his qualifications.
William Laveau, as "Fong Kee," the
villain of the piece, carried his part with
customary excellence and shared in the
generous applause which was accorded
throughout the play.
John Rowe, as "Bobby Blake" and also
as "Priest of the Temple," Kenneth Flem-ing
as "Tai Ling Chou," father of Su
Shong, Patricia Rand as "Wan Lou,"
H. H. Fish as "Zung Woo," Caroline
Morrison as "Second Wife of Tai Ling
Chou," Fred Harvey as "Song Sing,"
and William Henderson as "Johnson, the
butler," each carried their respective parts
in creditable style and contributed to the
success of the piece.
The play was admirably staged and
evidenced the hard work and conscientious
endeavor to afford a genuinely first class
production. Unusual lighting effects en-hanced
the beauty and attractiveness of
the settings. Costumes were new and
colorful , lending exceptional charm and)
atmosphere to the production. In fact
every detail was emphatic evidence of the
desire to afford to Park Theatre patrons a
better class of plays than has ever been
presented here.
The Luttringer Company deserve a
capacity house at every production.
Their plays are refine'd, clean, well-staged,
excellently presented and afford an even-ing
of most wholesome pleasure and
recreation. We are glad they will remain
with us through the entire summer season.

Merit and Appeal
HOMES MUST HAVE MAIL BOXES
Postmaster Cope announces that pa-trons
who have not provided suitable
private mail receptacle must do so within
thirty days or delivery service will be
withdrawn from their residence. Follow-ing
this period , in the future, no mail will
be delivered until proper receptacles are
provided to receive same.
Street letter boxes have been placed
throughout the town. The carrier will
not collect mail from private boxes'except
when he has a delivery to make' in any
particular instance. . ,
PALMYRA THURSDAY EVENING
On the local diamond, Thursday even-ing
at 5:30, the local team will meet an
olcl rival—Palmyra. The first game in
an important series. Manager "Mac"
has a bunch of "fire works" up his sleeve
for this game and says 'we surely are going
to cop.' A fast traveling aggregation,
this Palmyra team, leaders In the Lebanon
County League. Como over—Watch our
boys take the wind out of their sails.
The special concerts presented by the
Park Orchestra, on each Sunday are grow-ing
in popularity and favor. Each suc-ceeding
Sunday afternoon finds a larger
crowd occupying the benches in front of
the band shell enjoying a splendid concert
excellently rendered.
The large crowd last Sunday afternoon
was especially delighted with the special
Zylophone selections played by Mr. Louis
Colangelo. They applauded generously
requiring three encores before permitting
the artist to retire. Mr. Colangelo will
be presented as solo cornetist on next
Sunday 's program. He has selected the
old familiar Southern melody—"Old Ken-tucky
Home." Mr. Colangelo is a cornet-ist
of exceptional merit and his interpreta-tion
of this number will assuredly prove
delightful.
The Orchestra—best that has ever
played here—is proving a big factor in
attracting Sunday crowds to Hershey
Park. In fact , we believe more people
come here particularly to listen to these
excellent concerts, than are attracted by
the swimming pool or other features com-bined.
Of course the young folks enjoy
the pool but on last Sunday afternoon , in
response to our inquiry, many persons
remarked their only motive in coming to
the Park during the afternoon was to hear
a program of unusually' enjoyable music.
This circumstance is greatly encouraging
to the members of the orchestra and they
will continue to expend their very best
effort and study to afford Park patrons
concerts of a strictly high class nature,
each Sunday afternoon.
For Sunday, July 24, they have pre-pared
the following program :

March—Arcade Girl Pryor
Overture—Merry Wives of Windsor
