The Hershey Press 1921-12-15

              On Monday evening the Hershey High
School football boys and . the members of
the High School faculty were royally enter-tained
at a ban quet in the High School
Domestic Science' room. ;
At 6:30 the guests filed into the dining
room, which had been artisticall y decorated
with: plants and the high school colors.
However , the most attractive feature was
the spacious table most tastefully arranged.
In a short time the guests had found then -
places and less talking was heard tho the
ja ws continued to operate. Such a feast!
Those who were present shall ever remember
and the absent ones shall ever regret .
The Sophomore girls were the pretty
waitresses and assistants of Miss Floren ce
Derscheimer, the cateress. Too much credi t
can not be given this competent lady and
her force of "willing workers ," for without
them, the banquet would have been im-possible.
All the boys realize the practica-bility
of the domestic science department and
recommend to all the advisability of pursuing
a course under Miss Derschei mer.
The following menu was served:
Rice Consomme
Roast Chicken
Filling Giblet Gravy
Mashed Pot atoes Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Hot Rolls Beets
Peas
Waldorf Salad
Neapolitan Ice Cream Wafers
. . . C ake . " Coffee
Finally all were satisfied and then Mr.
Williams,, the toastmaster and princi pal
speaker of the evening, reviewed the indi-vidual
qualities of the players and the con-sistency
of their playing during the past
season.

resulted in the election of Chester Swartz .
Swartz played a consistent game at end
during the past season and also did splendid

High School Grid
Team Banquet on
Monday Evening
The following statemen t is issued by
Collecto r <of Internal Revenu e' Blakely D.
McCaughn , the 1st District of Penna.
"Enactment of new revenu e legislation
has brough t to the offices of Collectors of
Internal Revenue a flood of inquiries regard-ing
various provisions. The Revenue Act
of 1921 became effective November 23, 1921,
"unless otherwise provided for. "
"To avoid error in the preparation of their
returns and later difficulties with the Bureau
of Internal Revenue , taxpayers are advised
to carefull y note the changes and when they
become effective. "
"The exemption allowed for a dependent
is increased from $200 to $400. Married
persons living with husband or wife and heads
of families are allowed a personal exemption
of $2,500 (instead of $2,000 ) unless the net
income is in excess of $5,000, in which case
the personal exemption .is only $2,000. The
act provides that in no case shall the reduc-tion
of the personal exemption from $2,500
to $2,000 operate to increase the tax which
would be payable if the exemption were
$2,500 by more than the amount of the -net
income in excess of $.5,000. This is to over-come
the disparity in the case of two tax-payers
, one of whom is just within the lower
$2,000 exemption and the other just within
the higher $2,500 exemption. "
"Sing le persons and married persons not
living with husban d or wife, are allowed an
exemption of $1,000. Non-resident aliens
are allowed a single personal exemption of
$1,000. Persons having gross incomes for
1921 of $5,000 or over are required , to make a
return , regardless of the amount of net in-come."
"The new act provides that no taxpayer
shall be subjected to unnecessary examina-tions
or investigations and only one inspec-tion
of his books of accounts shall be made
for each taxable year unless the taxpayer
requests otherwise , or the . Commissioner
notifies the taxpayer in writing that an
additional inspect ion is necessary.
"The period for filing returns on the calen-dar
year basis is from January 1 to March 15,
1922. This year , as last , the tax may be
paid in full at the time of filing the return
or in four equal installments ,.due on or before
March 15, , June 15. September 15 and
December 15.
"Copies of the revenue act may be had
by app lication to this office. "

New Provisions
Income Tax Law
Effect Nov. 23
A real treat is in store for patrons of the
Central Thea tre,'on Saturday, December 17,
when the new Mary Anderson production ,
"Too Much. Married ," wjll be the feature
attraction. The picture is a rapid fire comedy
drama with loads of suspense and all the
other 'qualities . that go to make up good
entertainment. '
"Too Much Married " tells the amusing
story of Betty ,Colford , a bride of a day, who
loses her husband in a series of mishaps and
is forced to introduce another man, a com-:
plete stranger , as the one she has promised to
love, honor .and obey. From this time on
Betty is beset with misfortune after misfor-tune
with each scene increasing in merriment
for the spectators.
"Torch y's. Double Triumph ," a splendid
comedy will also be shown.
Tom Mix, the William Fox cowboy star ,
believes that the ' day is coming when cow-boys
will use airp lanes and autos on round-ups,
in additions to horses. He exhibits this
belief in his latest Fox picture , "After , Your
Own Heart ," which will be shown at the
Central Theatre next Tuesday, Tom, having
been a cowboy, is always interested in pro-gressive
methods ' for the range. He has
known the days of hard riding to locate
cattle spread over a wide territory and he
knows that an airman could locate the cattle
quickl y, signal the men in autos and on
horses , and do the work in less time than
by the old method.
Having had this in mind for some time,
Mix is quite in sympathy with the use of the
modern vehicles in "After Your Own Heart ,"
the story of which was written by William
Wallace Cook. Ora Carew is Mix's leading
woman in this picture.
Seventh episode of Hurricane Hutch will
help make this eveningm pleasant one.

Santa Claus , friend of all but especially
good and kind to the kiddies , made his first
visit of the season in -Hershey on-last Satur -
day. He made the Hershey Department
Store his head quarters and throughout the
day he was kept constantly busy meeting his
many little friends who live here. He was
just as jovial and as cheerful as always , his
smile radiating a spirit of gladness and hope-fulness
for the Christmas season now at hand.
The store w.as thronged with the little
folks, each one of them fairl y bubbling over
with excitement. Their little faces were
aglow with merriment and joy in the knowl-edge
that their dear old friend Santa had
come back to spend another Christmas
season with them. Each little tot had ' a
message to deliver , in which was revealed
their hopes and fondest wishes, and Santa ,
with an ever enduring patience listened
intentl y to or carefully read each expression.
How completel y did he seem to understand
each little heart; how kindly did he receive
each kiddie. Surely one could not help but
feel that Santa is still one of the very best"
friends the litle folks have, for as each one
came to him, out of a great bag of good things ,
he gave to each a little gift.
Incidentally this was one of the largest
business days in the history of the store.
It is approximated that two thousand chil-dren
and six thousand grown-ups visited the
store during the day.
For the benefit of our out-of-town cus-tomers
;the store will be open each evening
starting Monday, December 19, until eight
o'clock. On Saturday evening the store will
not close until nine o'clock. Santa Claus
will visit the store each evening during this
mammoth gift sale and on Saturday will be
here all day ; Parents are urged to bring
the children to, greet old Santa and to deliver
to him their message of Christm as hopes.

The joint musical recital in which •were
pre sented Miss Ruth Irene Spancake and Mr.
Robert Jacfc ,. ut the Central Theatre : oh
Wednesday evening, was attended 'by fi ;ve'ry
appreciative audience. The affair was1 held
under the auspices of the Hershey Volunteer
Fire Company, who refrained from making
an active community canvass for certain
reasons . and as a result every seat was not
occupied. However, the f act that no cnii "
vass was made is not sufficient reason for the
absence of many who should have been there.
A good percentage of the Fire Company
members themselves were not in attendance
and there were also many folks throughout
the community who could possibl y have
been there but remained away for reasons of
their own. '
Every seat in the theatre should have been
occupied. Standing-room-onl y signs should
have been hang ing on the door , not alone
because the benefit to the Fire Company
would have been greater , but for the addi-tional'
reason that in this joint musical recital
this community was given, perhaps , the
rarest treat of any it has been our privilege
to enjoy A pleasant evening was of course
antici pated but we did not expect to hear
such an- artistic , such an unusuall y delightful
concert. We were tremendousl y surprised
and were given ample reason to marvel at
the wonderful achievement , the, exceptiona l
attainment of these artists. ¦'
Mr. Robert Jack is a bass of great merit
with a voice deeper- in tone than we have ever
heard on a Hershey platform . Very un-fortunatel
y he was handicapped by a severed
cold which quite noticeabl y effected his work.
He very courageousl y sang through the first
part of the program but the strain was too
great and he was obliged to omit Several of
his numbers in the second part , to the
extreme regret of the audience. We hope
the good privilege to hear Mr. Jack when he
is not thus handicapped may be our s some-time
in the future.
Miss Spancake , whose home is in our
neighboring village, Palmyra , possesses in
our opinion the very best soprano voice that
has ever been heard here. Her voice is sweet
whether on low or high tone , it is extremel y
colorful and wide in range , it is of unusual
power and at all times it is under absolute
and unerring control , which in itself is a
supreme gift. We have heard Alma Gluck,
Tetrazinni , Melba , and various others whose
artistic lights do not gleam so brightly but
in sincere and truthful manner do we un-hesitatingl
y say that this youthful artist 's
work was to us just as pleasing and richly
enjoyable. She sang each number with a
simplicity anil graceful ease that is typical
of the true artist. A personality that radi-ates
cheerfulness , a charm that fascinates , a
winsomness that cannot be denied ,—these
also are hers and are-attributes to her success.
For her the future is exceptionall y bright
with promise for a wonderful care er and
"The Press " wishes to he numbered among
those friends who wish for her unmeasureable
success. We earnestl y hope she may return
to Hershey many times in the coming years.
Madam Ada Turner Kurtz , under whose
direction Miss Spancake and Mr. Jack are
study ing, was at the piano. Her accompani -
ments were truly artistic in every respect
and were contributory to the delight and
success of the evening. Madam Kurtz ,
during the World War , was in service over-seas,
using her remarkable talents in th at
important service of keeping the boys smiling
and thereby helping them carry the burden ,
hard ship and sacrifice that was their daily
portion. She interestingly told of several
experiences while in this service. As wo
wish Mr. Jack and Miss Spancake may retur n
to us, so do we sincerely wish Madam Kurta
may come again to Hershey to cheer, to
gladden and to inspire us.
The members of the Fire Company ap-preciate
the support that was accor ded
them in this occasion and respectfull y tender
their thanks.
