Place on Monthly
Honor Roll Won
by Honest Effort
That Hershey will have a base ball team
this coming season is almost an assured
fact . Two enthusiastic meetings, which
were well attended , were held last week
at the Men's Club and plans formulated
to put this community back on the base
ball map.
The plan is to use in so far as is practical ,
only "home town boys." This it seems,
should prove wise and will help in a large
measure to assure the whole-hearted sup-port
of everybody. The inter-department
contests of last year served to bring into
the limeligh t many promising ball players,
whose homes are here. All of these
fellows will be given every encouragement
to make good on the representative team
to be organized.
However, it is anticipated that the team
will have weak spots and the general plan
includes measures for necessary patch-work.
Money will not be expended for
distant "stars" because in the first place,
such action would be altogether un-necessary
and secondly, there are in sur-rounding
towns a surplus of good players
who are willing to play here for a nominal
consideration.
The plan , primarily, is to work towards
the goal of establishing a first class "home
team." This may require several years
but every circumstance indicates success
for the plan. With this purpose in view,
inter-department contests will again be
encouraged during the coming season.
Every department, whether in the factory,
or outside should organize a ball team if
at all possible. Give the men, and more
particularly the boys, an opportunity to
play ball for it is only through constant
playing that good players are developed.
And even though no "stars" may be
developed, the plan will not have failed .
Each man who partici pates will have
gained , throdgh the wholesome recreation
and exercise afforded , and thus will be-come
better citizens by virtue of their
improved physical condition.
Everybody should heartily rally to the
support of this project. Every village
and hamlet in the United States is repre-sented
in this great national pastime and
there is no reason in the world why Her-shey
should prove an exception in this
respect. Let us each do whatever is in
our power to help put a Hershey base b^ill
team on the diamond. Watch for further
developments and decide to become a
boost er .
ONE MORE ACCIDENT AT CHOCO-LATE
AVENUE BRIDGE
The record of accidents which is estab-lishing
the Chocolate Avenue bridge over
Spring Creek as a most dangerous point
on the Wm. Penn Highway, was increased
by one on Monday evening. This is the
third auto in the past two months which
met its Waterloo here.. That 's a record
which any brid ge might envy, granting
auto destruction to be the underly ing
principle in bridge construction.
But we are all aware of the fact that
bridges are built for more useful purposes.
They are not planned to destroy transitive
property and to endanger human life but
to be of important service in the progress
of mankind.
Therefore , we are pleased to announce
that plans are now under way for the
proper reconstruction of the bridge in
question. The County Commissioners
have been properly and intelligently in-formed
of the exact state of affairs and
they, conscientiousl y responsive to duty,
have planned to build a bridge which will
meet every demand of the traveling public ,
This work will be started as soon as
certain conditions will permit and it is
thought that before summer has gone, a
new bridge, thorough in every detail ,
will have displaced the present one and
the existing menace will have been ban-ished
for all lime.
Thomas Mef ghan , or rather his machine,
was the victim , of the accident which
prompted this article. Me was driving
slowly down East Chocolate Avenue , and
was blinded by the lights of a machine
'approaching fro m the opposite direction.
In his effort to keep properly to the ' sido
of the I'oad, he failed (o notice his danger
and ran 'onto the railing, battered and
wrecked from previous collisions, stopping
only when bin machine hit a concrete post
about the middle of the bridge. This
post in all probability prevented a more
serious accident , for according to circum-stances
he would liuyo run off the side of
the bridge, into the creek below , if his
machine had continued n few feet fartror.
Very forunatcly, Mefghan sustained no
physical Injury but his car was very badly
damaged ,
Hershey Will Have
Base Ball Team
Coming Season
This week is proving of unusual interest
to all patrons of the Hershey Department
Store. In fact , it is the most active week
from a patrons standpoint especially, in
the history of this great institution. Two
big events, each of vast importance to this
entire section and each lasting a period of
three days, are being crowded into this
week.
The demonstration of farm implements,
held at the mammoth implement house on
West Chocolate Ave., is one event. It is
the most pretentious demonstration of
farming implements ever attempted in this
valley. It is attracting farming men from
far and near. Wednesday, the opening
day, was a big day with hundreds of farm
owners and farm operators in attendance
with Thursday and Friday promising to
be larger.
Representatives, of the manufacturing
houses, men who are experts in handling
and explaining the numerous implements,
are on hand and are affording a genuinely
first class demonstration. In addition the
motion pictures, "Soil Service," "Tractor
Farming," and "The Golden Harvest,"
are helping in a positive way to afford a
more thorough understanding of the very
best farming methods of the day. The
pictures are extremely interesting and are
proving their value in a demonstration
of this kind.
Many copies of the book, "Soil Sense,"
written by the eminent agriculturist, Dr.
Taylor, of Moline, 111., are being given
away. It is a book of immeasurable worth
to every tiller of the soil and every farmer
should possess one. It is altogether safe
to assume the man who applys "Soil
Sense" to his farming efforts will bless
the day this valuable book came into his
possession.
This demonstration is proving one of the
most attracting events ever staged in this
section. It is full of genuine good and
will undoubtedly prove a boon to every
farmer who was fortunate to attend.
Of equal importance and interest is the
annual Spring fashion show being staged
on the second floor of the store. It is
elaborate in every detail, with two shows
daily, at 2:30 and 7:30, on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. These three days
promise to set a new mark of achievement
in the splendid record of this rapidly ex-panding
institution.
With living models will be displayed the
widest and finest line of apparel and dress
accessories, delineating fashion's newest
decrees, which has ever been seen here.
The display will be complete in every
respect. Girls, misses and ladies, boy s,
young men, and men- there will be some-thing
here to interest each one of you .
The modes by which t he spring season will
be governed will be attractively presented
and in a way that will be not only enjoy-able
but profitable as well.
A special orchestra has been secured lot
this remarkable occasion. They will play
at each show and will add greatly to you)
enjoyment.
The setting for the fashion show will be
a revelation of beauty. It is lacing de-signed
by Mr. D. Fred Bolts, decoratoi
and advertising manager of the store. He
has been inspired with the desire to make
this setting more elaborate and beautifu l
than ever and has been painstakingly
devoted to the task .
During these three big days the store
will be open each evening until nine
o'clock. Each department in this wide-awake
store will continue the business of
the day. Prices everywhere will be
marked clown very attractively thus per-mittin
g you lo make this visit one of thrift
as well its pleasure.
Surely you won 't want lo miss this
Spring opening and Fashion carnival.
Turn to other pages of this issue and read
carefully all lhat litis been planned for
thin big event . Visi t Ihe store each one
of these three epoch making days. You 'll
find much of interest and heart )' welcome
awaiting you.
CAKE AND PIE SALE
The Diakonia Hlblu Cliiss, of Trinity
Lutheran Church , announce they will
hold a home-made pie and cake sale, on
Saturday, March 19, at the parsonage on
Grenada Ave. This will be a uplendld
opportunity for you to equip the larder
for the week-end with a supply of "Nono-bcttor-
than-these " pastry. You know
(hero is neith er cake or pie made anywhere
thai is better than those made by the
Hershey house-wife, Delicious and tho-roughly
wholesome is every morsel and
possessing a richness that Epicurus never
kn ow. You won 't want to miss this stile.
Your patronage will be appreciated,
Week of Unusual
Interest to Every
Patron of Store
The Red Cross Dance, first real social
event following the close of the Lenten
season, will be held on Thursday, March
31. The dance will be conducted under
the auspices of Hershey Chapter, of this
great American institution and , without
much further discussion is surely worthy
of your whole-hearted support.
At the dance will be sold a wonderfu l
assortment of home-made sweetmea t s-cakes,
candies, etc. Everyone is familiar
with the marvelous worth of these delic-acies
for on numerous other occasions the
public has been granted a similar privilege.
You are therefore acquainted with the
achievements and the unusual capabilit ies
of Hershey 's culinary experts and know
that the opportunity to purchase Hershey
home-made cake or candy, is a rare
privilege indeed.
The funds realized from this affair will
be used to create a community nurse fund.
The organization has already secured a
community nurse and on Monday, of this
week, Miss Elizabeth High, assumed the
duties attached to this office. The idea
is part of a comprehensive nation-wide
campaign to elevate the United States to
a higher level of health. It will probabl y
startle you—at any rate, it should- to
know that in health, th.c United States
ranks fifteenth among the nations of the
earth. You will readily recognize this
condition as one that needs immediate
consideration. There is every reason to
assume that the United States, leader
among nations in prosperity, wealth , in-telligence,
religion, civilization and power,
should also lead in the vital question of
health. It is absolutely deplorable that
this, the greatest nation of them all ,
should in this one respect rank no higher
than fifteenth. Federa l and State govern-ments
are giving more careful attention
than ever to this quest ion and its a ques-tion
in which every one of us should be
interested.
Let each one of us here, resolve to give
more though t to this question in its local
aspects, particularly. Let us pledge our
support to the Hershey Chapter , which
organization is leading in Ihe good fight
in our own community. May they know
we are with them in the establishment of
the Community Health Center with its
several departments. May we show this
new desire by helping them to realize un-measured
success in all their efforts.
When asked to buy tickets for this dance,
buy, not one, or two, or more, but as
many as you think vou can afford.
