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, both onierahcy. were united in wedlock at the parsonage of the Church of the Breth-ren, Palmyra, by the pastor. Rev. John C. Zug, Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock. The bride was beautifully dressed In a white loose flowing wedding gown and carried n bouquet of white roses, The couple were attended by Darvln Heisey, brother of the groom and Miss Evelyn Gates. After the ceremony a reception and kitchen shower was hold at the homo of the parents of the bride. Both are employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company, and have a wide circle of friends who wish them every happiness. 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 history as the most successful season that the school ever had. This is evident from the fact that the boys' team lost but four games, out of a total number of nineteen games, played and these four losses were all on foreign floors.

This program has been arranged with a view of stimulating Sunday School Work in this Community. A large attendance is hoped for from every one of the fourteen schools in District. Last year thirteen out of the fourteen were represented, at the Convention held at Rutherford Heights. A detailed program, which includes several special musical selections, will appear in next week's Press. 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. Conewago Communit y Plantin g Trees A demonstration of the proper way to plant trees was held Wednesday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock near the Deodate school house under the auspices of the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Associa-tion. A large number of residents of the Cpne-wago 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 planting; this year following a campaign by the agricultural extension association for the purpose of urging utilization of cut-over and waste land that is unsuitable for any other purpose. Tho Senior Boys of the Hershey High School wore entertained by the Senior Girls at a Leap Year Party on Inst Friday evening in tho High School Dining room, twenty-four seniors attending. Games and music were part of tho evening 's enter-tainment and refreshments were served. ENTERTAIN AT LEAP YEAR PARTY On next Saturday morning the Juniors of the ten o'clock class will compete in a swimming meet at the Hershey Men's Club pool.

SWIMMING MEET AT MEN'S CLUB SATURDAY The Hershey All-Scholastics met defeat at the hands of the Steclton Ycllowjackets on Tuesday evening on the latter 'a floor by the close score of 34 to 29. The game waa well played and dcliglited a crowd of sev-eral hundred fans who turned out to see the battle. This was Hershey 's first de-feat and although it mars their clean re-cord for the season it la not a disgrace to be defeated by the Yellowjacketa, who are claiming the Junior title of Lower Dauphin County. Hershey ia disputing this claim as they have defeated them on the local floor and a third and deciding game has been arranged to be played at Hershey on Friday, April 4th. on the Men'a Club floor, for the alj ove title. A record crowd is sure to b! on hand to give tho fans their money 's worth , a dance will be held on tho same floor a fter the game.

Full Text | 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, both onierahcy. were united in wedlock at the parsonage of the Church of the Breth-ren, Palmyra, by the pastor. Rev. John C. Zug, Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock. The bride was beautifully dressed In a white loose flowing wedding gown and carried n bouquet of white roses, The couple were attended by Darvln Heisey, brother of the groom and Miss Evelyn Gates. After the ceremony a reception and kitchen shower was hold at the homo of the parents of the bride. Both are employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company, and have a wide circle of friends who wish them every happiness. 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 history as the most successful season that the school ever had. This is evident from the fact that the boys' team lost but four games, out of a total number of nineteen games, played and these four losses were all on foreign floors.

This program has been arranged with a view of stimulating Sunday School Work in this Community. A large attendance is hoped for from every one of the fourteen schools in District. Last year thirteen out of the fourteen were represented, at the Convention held at Rutherford Heights. A detailed program, which includes several special musical selections, will appear in next week's Press. 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. Conewago Communit y Plantin g Trees A demonstration of the proper way to plant trees was held Wednesday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock near the Deodate school house under the auspices of the Dauphin County Agricultural Extension Associa-tion. A large number of residents of the Cpne-wago 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 planting; this year following a campaign by the agricultural extension association for the purpose of urging utilization of cut-over and waste land that is unsuitable for any other purpose. Tho Senior Boys of the Hershey High School wore entertained by the Senior Girls at a Leap Year Party on Inst Friday evening in tho High School Dining room, twenty-four seniors attending. Games and music were part of tho evening 's enter-tainment and refreshments were served. ENTERTAIN AT LEAP YEAR PARTY On next Saturday morning the Juniors of the ten o'clock class will compete in a swimming meet at the Hershey Men's Club pool.

SWIMMING MEET AT MEN'S CLUB SATURDAY The Hershey All-Scholastics met defeat at the hands of the Steclton Ycllowjackets on Tuesday evening on the latter 'a floor by the close score of 34 to 29. The game waa well played and dcliglited a crowd of sev-eral hundred fans who turned out to see the battle. This was Hershey 's first de-feat and although it mars their clean re-cord for the season it la not a disgrace to be defeated by the Yellowjacketa, who are claiming the Junior title of Lower Dauphin County. Hershey ia disputing this claim as they have defeated them on the local floor and a third and deciding game has been arranged to be played at Hershey on Friday, April 4th. on the Men'a Club floor, for the alj ove title. A record crowd is sure to b! on hand to give tho fans their money 's worth , a dance will be held on tho same floor a fter the game.
