              Big Attraction s For
Hersbey Park This Year
John R. Zoll, manager of Hershey Park,
states that the season of 1924 will surpass
that of previous years, not only in the
number of picnics, but in the number of
attractions as well. Altho the season is
early, nevertheless a score of picnics have
, already been booked,'which is rather un-usual
for this time of the year.
Fred. C. Hand, of the Keystone Amuse-ment
Co., of Reading, has joined the Her-shey
Park organization and he is busily
engaged making arrangements to present a
number of attractions, which will be held
in the Convention Hall.
The Convention Hall is a prominent
object in the landscape of Lebanon Valley.
It is of steel and hollow tile on a concrete
base and no expense was spared to insure
its safety and permanence. It has a seat-ing
capacity of 5000 and will hold 7500.
Its main auditorium is 365 feet by 156 feet.
The stage is 33 feet and 60 feet. There
are 18 doors, each six feet wide,
When the Convention Hall was con-structed,
which was in 1915, it was planned
to use the building for the staging of farm
shows, consequently the pit was never
floored. However, this year a double
flooring of maple has been put in, and
theatre chairs placed in position. It is so
arranged that these chairs can be removed,
enabling the floor to be used for dancing
purposes.
A sounding board has been erected in
the rear of the stage, which will make the
acoustics of the Hall well-nigh perfect.
Curtains will be placed so as to prevent the
glare of the sunlight annoying those seated
in the pit. Drinking fountains supplied
with ice-cold water will be installed, and
additional drinking fountains supplying
filtered mountain water will be placed in
different parts of the park.
On Decoration Day it is planned to
either nave Paul Whitman's Orchestra or
the Philadelphia Orchestra play in the
Hall, being definitely decided upon this
week.
Mr. Hand is endeavoring to sign con-tracts
with Sousa's Band, Washington's
Marine Band, Paderwiski, Gallu-Curci,
and other notable stars.
On June 4th to the 14th the General
Conference of the Church of the Brethren
wul be held in the Convention Hall. This
Conference met in Hershey in 1921 at
which time the crowds were estimated at
50,000. The General Committee who are
working out the details of the Conference,
state that there is every indication of there
being a larger number of delegates at the
1924 Conference than at any Conference
yet held by the Brethren.
The decision to come to Hershey was
unanimous upon the part of the General
Committee, and the Hershey Park manage-ment
is giving its fullest co-operation in its
effort to make the Conference a most suc-cessful
one.
Hugh Wagner To
Enter Candy Business
Hugh Wagner, who for the past thirteen
years has been an employee of the Hershey
Chocolate Company, has tendered his
resignation to take effect April 1. Mr.
Wagner will return to his home in Belle-fonte,
where he will take over the wholesale
and retail candy business of John D. Sour-beck,
of that place, and which was estab-lished
fifty '/ears ago by Mr. Sourbeck and
Mr. Wagner's father, John A. Wagner.
During his residence in Hershey, Mr.
Wagner made many friends who will regret
to see him leave, and he will take with him
the best wishes of his many fellow employ-ees
and friends for success in his new
venture. "Slim" as he is more popularly
known, is Hershey's premier fisherman
having won the fishing contest of the
Hershey Store several years in succession
and his prowess in this line as well as his
wood-craft in general is highly respected
in this section. With the departure of
"Slim", Hershey's amateur trout fishermen
will now have the trout streams in this
vicinity to themselves and it will be inter-esting
to note who the new champion fish-erman
will be that will carry away the fish
contest prizes offered by the Hershey
Dept. Store.
Two Young Men
Leave Organization
C. J. Speicher, of Lebanon, and L. B.
Shoap, of Hummelatown, who have been
employed in the offices of Mr. Wm. F. R.
Murrle, president of the Hershey Choco-late
Company, have tendered their resigna-tion
to become effective on or about April
1st. It ia their intention to enter a part-nership
in a publication business, with
offices at Lebanon, Pa. Both young men
wish to express thru the columns of the
Press their sincere appreciation for the
courtesies extended by their employers
and associate employes during the period
of their employment.
Messrs Speicher and Shoap have been
associated with the Company for a number
of years, and in that time have proven to
be clean-cut, genial, capable, trustworthy
and efficient co-laborers, and they will be
missed by the organization .
They have the well wishes of the entire
organization in the success of their business.
Miss Mary K, Miller, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Michael Miller, and Arthur G.
Heiscy. son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Helaey,

kitchen shower was hold at the homo of the
parents of the bride. Both are employees
of the Hershey Chocolate Company, and

MISS MARY MILLER AND ARTHUR
HEISEY WEDDED
A Little Bit Of
This and That
Did you ever wonder what day your
birthday would fall on if you lived until
the year 2924 ? Ask Lawrence Galebaugh,
he can tell you.
Did you ever wonder how many miles
the wind would be blowing at the Equator
if it were blowing 90 miles on Part's Hill?
Ask Lawrence Galebaugh, he can tell you.
Did you ever wonder if you dropped an
almond bar from an aeroplane and it fell
16K feet the first second, and 32 1-6 feet
more each second than the one preceding,
how far does it fall in 10 seconds? Ask
Lawrence Galebaugh, he can tell you.
It matters not what your problem may
be, if it is mathematical, Mr. Galebaugh
will solve it for you. To him the art of
computation is as easy as falling off a log.
In fact, the fundamentals of his day s
work is that of notation and numeration,
addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division, with a few fractions and decimals.
Instead of reading a book of adventure, he
carries Einstein's Theory reading it with as
much interest as Wm. Curtis reads about
the Oil scandal.
Do you know where the Almond river is
located? Ask Roy Sternberger, he can
tell you.
Do you know where Lake Dora is lo-cated?
Or where Foul Isle is located? Or
where King's Bay is located? Or the
Northern Mountains? Ask Roy, he can
tell you quick as a wink.
Not only will he answer these questions
but any that you might choose to ask him,
if it is geographical. As Mr. Galebaugh is
of a mathematical turn of mind so Mr.
Stemberger is geographical. He can
visualize the whole world at a glimpse, and
even a little bit of the Milky Way. There
is no'doubt about it he is a wonder, as is
Mr. Galebaugh.
Some of these fine evenings, next Decem-ber,
for instance, it might be well to stage
a theatrical event with Mr. Galebaugh and
Mr. Stemberger as the stars. "Baby
Dodo" went big, so why should not these
two big men go bigger. It's a thought
well worth considering. Inasmuch as it
would be educational it could be given for
the benefit of the Hershey Free Library,
which seems to have been forgotten, but is
doing good work nevertheless, but could
give much better results if some little as-sistance
were given it.
We believe there hasn t been any curve
or campaign for the library since Mr.
Murrie's Goat was stolen about 10 years
ago.
We look through our rag bags for cloth-ing
to send the heathen, so why not look
over our bookshelves and send a few vol-umes
to the Library.
Basketball Summar y
The 1923-24 Basketball season of the
Hershey High School goes down in school

games, played and these four losses were all
on foreign floors.
The following is the summary of the

Sprin g Opening Brought
Lar ge Crowds
It was the unanimous verdict of the
thousands who attended the Hershey De-partment
Store's annual Spring opening
and fashion review last week that it ex-celled
by far those held in previous years.
The Egyptian scene was colorfully
beautiful and imaginative to the last de-gree,
creating a brilliant stage setting for
the beautiful models who, as they wistfully
minueted up and down the fifty-foot runa-way,
entranced the feminine assemblage
with Dame Fashion's latest decrees, and
making the male portion wishing that Mr.
Fred Botts had reserved i bald headed row
for them.
Mr. John Zoll, the manager of the Store,
was highly elated at the success of the
Spring opening, for the store was filled
with Buyers, not only from Hershey, but
from Lebanon and Harrisburg as well,
taking advantage of the many bargains
that each department had arranged.
The Wecker's Imperial Orchestra had
been engaged for the Spring opening, and
they more than pleased.

County Agricultural Extension Associa-tion.

Community witnessed the demon-stration,
which was conducted by C. R.
Anderson, of the State College Forestry
Department.
Between 30,000 and 40,000 trees have
been ordered for Dauphin County fanners

for the purpose of urging utilization of cut-over
and waste land that is unsuitable for
