The Hershey Press 1921-02-03

              From every viewpoint the Spelling Bee
held in the Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, under the auspices of the S. S,
Games Memorial Men's Bible Class, of
Trinity Lutheran Church was a splendid
success. The theatre was almost filled
and much enthusiasm and interest was
manifested throughout.
The opening numbers of the program
were received with much appreciation.
The piano solo by Miss Neva Wiley, the
singing by the sixth grade pupils under the
direction of Miss Brandt, with Miss Anna
Cole as accompanist, and the readings by
Miss Lillian Shope, delighted the large
audience.
The judges, H. N. Newton and Elmer
Gingrich were then directed , to assume
official positions and the call for the first
class was made. This class included all
children under twelve years of age, and
they responded readily to the call.
When Miss Sarah Foreman, who was
to dictate the words, assumed her position,
the stage was crowded with forty-eight
eager youngsters, twenty-five girls and
twenty-three boys. They each were
cheerfully confident of spelling down the
entire rest of the class and thereby winn-ing
a prize. However, their ranks were
slowly thinned out until only six, five girls
and one boy, remained. In brief time
three more were counted out and the
three prize-winners stood alone. The
prizes were won by Miss Catherine Cope,
first; Miss Emma Miller, second ; and
Miss Verna Boltz. thi rd.
When the call for the Adult class was
sounded, twenty-four ladies and fifteen
men responded . Many of this number
were but girls and boys in their early teens
for the age limit started from twelve.
Prof. A. M. Hinklc dictated to this class.
Of the last six to remain on the stage,
three were ladies and three were men.
Special mention is deserving to the little
lady who won first prize in this class. She
will not be thirteen years of age until
March , yet she fearlessly, with a sure
confidance and with ultimate success
spelled them all—old and young— off the
stage. Her name is Miss Ellanore Claire
Wolfinger , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. W.
Wolfinger , of West Chocolate Ave. Se-cond
prize went to Roy Sternberger and
third prize to Miss Anna Cole.
Many amusing incidents prompted the
entire audience to hearty laughter. One
young fellow , to whom was assigned the
task of spelling the word "women," quite
evidently registered his perplexity. He
got as far as w-o and then scratching his
head and otherwise registering his per-plexity,
decided the plura l was too much
for him. The introduction , quite un-announced
of an old-fashioned school bell ,
by someone in the rear of the audience,
during the proceedings, was also acknowl-edged
as an appropriate and humorous
incident by the general mirth provoked.
Numerous other incidents occurcd which
combined with the whole to make the
affair thoroughly interesting and amusing.
The stage was crowded in response to
the announcement of the class in General
Information. Questions were dictated
by C. A. Wiley. This class rapidly
dwindled as question after question ,
seemingl y simple, yet puzzling, were
asked unti l , Dr. 11. G. Mumma stood
alone. The other two prize winners were
Miss Mildred Kohr , second , and Lloyd
Cilman , third.
Three ever-ready pencils, three one-pound
boxes of candy and three books,
were the prizes, one of each to each class.
The winners were privileged to choose
their prize, according to rank.
The entire evening was a source of
ixwitive enjoyment to all. The members
of (he Men 's Class were highly gratified
with the success realized and desire to
express to everybody, their earnest ap-preciation
for the splendid support given
them.

Big Crowd Attends
the Spelling Bee at
Central Theatre
. MRS. GERTRUDE TOWNSEND
This Community was shocked and
saddened on Saturday evening upon re-ceipt
of the news that Mrs. Gertrude
Townsend had passed away at the Harris-burg
Hospital, at 3:30 o'clock the same
afternoon , ;death being due to Brights
disease. She had been afflicted with this
dread disease for seven weeks, spending
only the last week of this period in the
hospital . She had been given every
possible care and attention by friends,
relatives and physicians but their efforts
were thwarted by the "Grim Reaper,"
whose mission can never be stayed.
The funeral services were conducted
on Thursday, February 3, at Neely 's
Undertaking apartments, 908 North Se-cond
street, Harrisburg. Rev. R. H.
Taylor , pastor of Dcrry Presbyterian
church , of Which church deceased was a
steadfast member was the officiating
clergyman. Interment was made in the
Paxtang cemetery.
Mrs. Townsend was fifty-two years ol
age. Surviving her are : a sister, Miss
Minnie Miller , of Hershey; two brothers,
Charles Miller , of Pittsburgh , Pa., and
William Miller , of Wenatchee, Washing-ton
; and a son, William Kissinger, of
Harrisburg.
Mrs. Townsend has been a resident of
Hershey during the past eight years, the
latter seven years of which she was matron
at the Hershey Inn. She was faithful in
her duties to the church and was likewise
as faithful and loyal in the performance
of her daily tasks. She was respected by
all who knew her for she possessed all of
the finer womanly qualities. She will be
missed very much in the community and
to the sorrowing relatives is extended the
very sincere sympathy of entire Hershey.
HENRY HENNY HAS HERSHEY
AGENCY FOR "INSYDE TYRES"
Henry Henny, better known as "Doc, "
has taken the agency for "Insyde Tyres. "
"Insyde Tyres" are made of especially
tough fabric vulcanized together over tire
molds so that they will be shaped to (it
exactly the inside of the casing for which
they are made. This prevents wrinkles
which might pinch the tube. The outside
is coated with rubber , which vulcanizes
itself to the inside of (he casing to prevent
slipping. The part of "Insyde Tyres"
which comes in contact with the tube is
coated with rubber and so treated with
the lube cannot stick.
"Insyde Tyres" reinforce the lire casing
and protect the inner tube. If used in a
casing its life will be prolonged from 100
to 5000 miles.
"Insyde Tyres " eliminate 90 per cent of
all punctures by preventing sharp nvllelvtt
from reaching the lube.
"Insyde Tyres " save their small cost
in a shorl time and may be used over and
over again in several casings.
If you want to forget blowouts and
punctures , jot a line to "Doc " and he will
be wiping his shoes on ybur door mat in 'n
very short lime, \\m\ he will eloquently
tell you all about the "Insyde Tyres. "

The Anniversary service of the Otter-bein
Men 's Bible Class, of the First
United Brethren church , on Sunday even-ing
was an occasion of great interest. The
audience, which crowded the church well
nigh to capacity was composed mostly of
men, although everybody was heartily
welcomed.
Lieut. Gov. E. K. Beidleman, of Harris-burg,
was the principal speaker of the
evening. His address was not confined to
any one particular subject but was more
in the nature of a talk in which he empha-sized
the importance of the church in the
community and in the state. He pointed
to the principals which William Penn de-creed
this state should be built upon. He
pointed to the motherhood of the state and
how devoutly is instilled at an early age
into the lives of the boys and girls of the
state, the principals of right living. He
plead for law-observation and cited the
fact that the Dauphin Courts have fewer
cases from this community than from any
other section of the county. He stated
that in the many years he has been prac-ticing
law in the Dauphin County Courts
never a single seriou s criminal case has
been presented from this community. He
cited these facts as a tribute to the splendid
citizenship of Hershey and that we, herei
not only understood the principals of right
living but that we made them a part of
our lives.
Prof. E. F. Slichter . in his presentation
of the Class History, read some very
interesting facts. The class was organized
in 1909 with but five members. To-day
the enrollment is seventy-nine. They
have an average attendance of seventy-nine
per cent and represent almost thirty
per cent of the entire Sunday School
attendance. Its present officers are: Presi-des,
