The Hershey Press 1920-05-13

              Judging from present indications a
capacity house will greet the Men's Chorus
on the occasion of the Spring Concert
which they will render on May 20. Every
member of Hershey Post of the American
Legion, which organization will receive
the proceeds from this Concert, is a self-constituted
ticket agency, full of action
and pep. Tickets, at 35c, have been on
the market since April 27, and the sale
thus far has been very gratifying.
However, as the date set for the concert
draws closer, more vigor and more en-thusiasm
will mark the campaign. The
fellows are vying closely with each other
for the stellar honor of completing the
largest individual sale. A systematic
canvass of the community will be made
so that everyone will have the opportunity
of securing tickets. If you have not
already purchased tickets, do so without
much further delay.
The reserved seat chart will open on
May 15, at the Men's Club. Many
ticket-holders are already waiting for this
chart to open and appearances indicate
that to secure best reservations, early
action will be necessary.
Many out-of-town friends of the Ameri-can
Legion will be present at this Concert.
In Hummelstown, tickets are on sale at
Hocker's Confectionery Store, and in
Palmyra, at Bundel's Drug Store. Out-of-
town patrons may make reservation of
seats by phone and tickets for same
secured at theatre door on evening of
concert.
Every assurance is extended that this
concert will prove better than any which
a Hershey audience has ever listened to.
The program, published in last week's
issue of the Press, is absolutely and by far,
the most beautiful of any ever arranged
for male concert work in Hershey.
The Chorus, consisting of thirty-five
voices is the largest male chorus ever
assembled in Hershey. The men have
been faithfully attending rehearsals for
they are, each one, conscientious in their
endeavor to make this concert the biggest
musical event ever staged by a local
organization.
Miss Irene Kreidler , soprano soloist ,
from Philadelphia , is quite anxious to
appear once more before an audience in
Hershey. As those, who hea rd Miss
Kreidler 'in the February concert , were so
tremendously impressed with the power
and beauty of her voice, so was she im-pressed
with the intelligence and whole-some
reception accorded her by the
audience. Quite anxious therefore , is
Miss Kreidler to sing to another Hershey
audience and everybody may feel safel y
assured Miss Kreidler will give only the
very best of her wonderful talent. The
members of the chorus and the members
of the Legion , are in close accord in the
assurance that Miss Kreidler alon e will
be worth the price of admission and to
an y, who do not think so, after they have
heard the concei t , a refund will lie cheer-fully
made.
Charles F. Zeigler , with indefatigable
zeal , is rapidly rounding the chorus into
positive form. He, more eamcslly than
any other , is striving to make this concert
one which will be considered the acme
of attainment in the musical circles of
Hershey. Mr. Zeigler has very carefully
considered and weighed every circum-stance
leading up to a successful culmi-nation
of effort and is confident , everybody
will be immeasurably delighted and
plea sed willi (his conceit.
•May everybody then carefully mark
the date , - Mny 20, the place , Uershey
Park Theatre , the time ,—8:15 o'clock.
And remember ,¦-¦every ticket you buy is
helping Hershey Post of the American
Legion , an organization which needs and

in close harmony that this

to a professional chorus, but by untiring
effort , study and application, these num-bers
will be sung with ease. The entire
program will prove a continuous round of
unequalled delight to the large audience
which will be present.

institution affords,—the Social betterment
it is responsible for, the tremendous
influence for the welfare of the entire
country, the uplift and moral help to
everybody,—these things are known to
everybody. And these same wonderful
stabilizing influences, this great sisterhood
wants to carry to foreign lands. As our
sisters and mothers are helped here so
are the sisters and mothers of other lands
to be helped. This is truly a noble cause
and one which merits the generous support
of every man , woman and child. You
can help by coming out to this concert
or by at least, purchasing a ticket. Will
you help?

Bazaar a Success

was realized.

There still remain for sale, in the hands
of the committee, aprons, laundry-bags,
clothes-pin bags and various other very
useful articles. Anyone desiring to pur-chase
any of these articles may do so
through Mrs. J. E. Field , Mrs. W. W.
Mish , Mrs. Bert C. Ritz , Miss Edna

Among the many features which are
introduced by the Hershey Department
Store, the Baby Festival ol last week
proved one of the most interesting ever
submitted. • It was held on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday and one hundred
and thirty-five babies under three years
of age, were registered.
Prizes to the fortunate registrants,
holding the lucky numbers, were issued.
Miss Fay Royer, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Royer, of Palmyra, won first
prize. Miss Emily Jane Goho, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Goho, of Paxtang,
won second prize. Master Earl William
Houser, son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Houser, of Derry Road, Hershey, won
third prize. Capturing of these honors,
secured the privilege ol purchasing without
charge, merchandise for the baby, to the
value of and in respective order, five
dollars, three dollars and two dollars.
One of the interesting features of the
festival was a play-ground which had
been constructed for the kiddies enjoy-ment.
Here, in a space thirty-five feet
square, was found sand with shovels and
pails, chute-the-chutes, see-saws, hobby-horses,
tricycles, kiddie-cars and many
other forms of amusement. Here the
kiddies romped and played and had a
perfectly enjoyable time.
As another feature of the occasion was
introduced the Hershey Boys Band. This
was their first appearance in public and
they were well received. Every member
of this organization is but a youth and
though they have been practicing but a
few months acquitted themselves in a
most creditable fashion.
This Baby Festival proved a most
successful undertaking. Much enthus-iasm
and interest was manifested, not
alone by the kiddies but by many grown-ups.
A remarkable degree of success
marked every detail and the plan in its
entirety, reflecting a great deal of credit
upon those who conceived the idea and
carried it into such a successful realization

A HERSHEYITE AND HIS HOE
These days of daylight saving—indorsed
by many; opposed by a few—are being
filled up with scenes that inspire, however
familiar they may be. As one wanders
aimlessly about , if in the long hours of
twilight,—can be seen many thrifty citi-zens
of this community, industriously
employing the time, tilling the soil and
planting seeds,—potatoe, red-beet , radish,
cabbage, onion, lettuce, corn , cucumber,
peas. Many plots of good rich soil , thus
utilized , dot the landscape, and one is
inspired thereby.
Many are the reasons which form the
back ground for this inspiring picture and
volumes could be written on this vast
garden project of which Hershey is but a
small unit. However instead of enumer-ating
and expanding thereon , there has
been prepared a thesis on "Why I Garden. "
It is not the work of one who toiled many
days and nights in the preparation thereof,
nor is it very exhaustive. It is, however,
one which should hold the interest of all.
In brief it is contributed to by many who
devote spare moments by virtue of the
Daylight Saving plan inaugurated in
Hershey, (o the cultivation of a garden ,
proving themselves thereby, thrifty citi-zens
and as such , worthy citizens of a real ,
live progressive community such as is
Hershey. Following is submitted the
herein mentioned "thesis, " for your
approval:
Roy Lloyd:—"I love nature , and in
watching things grow , like to study the
methods of nature. Like to devise means
of helping nature in her methods of restor-ing
and creating a larger and belter life
to plants and vegetables. "
//. A. Newton :—"I like to see the stuff
grow."
Daniel S. Graejj :—"To help satisfy my
desire for out-door life. "
Charles F. Zei tiler:—"To help ward off
starvation during the long winter months. "
Mrs. Phoebe Whittle:—"To help batter
down the strongholds of king 11. C. of L."
PaulG. SluUtz: "To help fill the empty
market basket with fresh vegetables and
for out-door exercise. "
F. W. Piij ih: —"To get thin and acquire
the intricate art of planting spuds. "
A'. S. Woomer'.—"To secure some good
wholesome food and invigorating fresh air
while exercising. "
A. W, Suavely:—"To afford my son an
opportunity to familiarize himself with
the habits of the potato-bug. "
Win. F. A'. Mujrie:— "To obtain fresh
vegetables in copious portions and to help
the fight against the II. C, of L."
J ohn N. Smith:—"For exercise and to
frustrate food borders in their efforts to
"hold-up" the public. "
A. Bowman Suavely :—(Thte contribu-tion

plant n garden Is that 1 have no kitchen
to boil the beans and potatoes I might
grow,"
