In welcoming to their homes these little boys and-girls from the slums of the nations metropolis the people of Hershey and vicinity are doing a philanthropy, the myriad benefits of which will never be recorded. They are providing for these walled up children of the city streets not only a two weeks' vacation in the country, but an opportunity that will carry with it considerable influence for good as the youngsters go back to the big city's slums.

The pupils will report on Tuesday morn-ing, September 1st. All pupils from the first to the sixth grade inclusive, are to report in the Grade Building and all pupils from the seventh to twelfth grades in the new Junior-Senior High School. It is important that all of the Junior- Senior High School pupils assemble at once in the auditorium on the main floor where the first Chapel exercises will be conducted and necessary assignments to rooms be made. The time set for the 1st assembly will be 9.00 o'clock, and the doors will be opened for the admission of the pupils at 8.45. The pupils will be admitted to the Grade Building at the same time as on previous years—8.25 a. m. and the bell will ring at 8.40. CAFETERIA NOTICE Due to the fact that some of the utensils for use in the Cafeteria have not been shipped, the cafeteria service must be deferred for several weeks.

Noon intermission from 11.50 to 1.00 Afternoon session from 1.00 to 3.50. TRANSPORTATION At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors, Thomas Fox was engaged to transport- three truck loads of school children from the Sand Beach and Bradley Quarry sections of the township, and Joseph Ulrich to transport two truck loads from the Stovcrdale district to Hummels-town and two loads from the Waltonville and Sunny Side district to the trolley at the Valley Road. MILE-AND-A-HALF LIMIT According to law the district is not com-pelled to transport pupils who live less than a mile and a half along the nearest public road from school. In former years pupils living north of Hershey and within this limit were accorded the privileges of the truck so long ns the load was not full. This service must now )>c discontinued to enable the driver to take care of children who live beyond the mile and a half limit. TwoChocola teWorkers Cause Excitement The residents along the Swntnra Creek from Union Deposit down to Falmouth were trented to a rare npectarle on Satur-day nflern cxm when they witnessed large quant it Ich of foam and spray arising from the Hiirface of the Swntnra Creek. A great many questions arose from the spectators as to the reason of the rare phenomenon and ii|xin making further investigation it was discovered that Bill Hlbschiiian and Allan Lingle, two local fishermen , were lashing and splashing the creek with plugs, hoping that keen-eyed bass would lx; attracted to the tempting lure , hut the Ixiys were honest enough this time to admit their trip was a complete failure , MISS MARGARET WHEELER SOJOURNING IN OHIO Miss Margaret Wheeler, the capable and courteous assistant manager of the Her-shey Employment and Information Bu-reaus, is on her annual vacation , sojourning at Shelby, n flourishing and progressive town In the Buckeye State, Hr main direct, according to the postcards that MIhh Wheeler Is sending to her many friends, indicate Hint Shelby is ns iieuceful and as restful n town in which to recuix'r-ate one's health and energy as one might expect to And in all the U.

These girls were trained under the direc-tion of Harry Z. Wilt, of York, Pa., and are 12 in number. They will give a demonstration in life-saving, water safety and First Aid. This exhibition will be free . Optimism Gaining In Business World The feeling of cheerfulness that had its inception in late May and became wide-spread in June, reached notable propor-tions in July, when in a month not usually noted for such developments a really optimistic view as to trade and industry generally pervaded the business world, according to the monthly review of gen-eral business conditions in the current number of Nation 's Business Magazine, published by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. "The fact that industry generally did not , as earlier feared, recede as it did a year ago, thus making for better than expected employment, also helped," it states. "Midsummer retail trade, though below June, was certainly better than a vear ago. fall buvine was more perceptible, business failures and liabilities continued to decrease from last year and the bank clearings outside of New York increased over June. "The apparent illogical situation was noted of trade, impressed by farm product prices, being higher than a year ago, losing sight of the fact that these higher prices were mainly based on smaller prospective crop yields. Americans generally have gotten away from the time when big yields, pure and simple, were hailed as a stimulant to busi-ness. The answer is probably that there never really was any profit in the oldtime burdensome surpluses, except possibly to the railroads in the form of enlarged ton-nage, because the surpluses had to be sold in the world's markets at any price they would bring. "The upward movement in all whole-sale prices, except for farm products, which lx:gnn in May, went further in July to a point indeed higher than at any time since late in 1920. An upward rush of prices may have its drawbacks later. Several times In the last half dozen years the result of these advances have not been such as to commend themselves to ultimate consumers. Speculation as to just where and when the price shoe will pinch suffi-ciently hard , however, remains a problem. There are those who think , however, that consumption would be vastly stimulated if prices generally could lie gotten down uniformly to a lower level. "Crop developments have been closely watched , but the advices from nature s laboratory have not been altogether con-clusive. Alxnit the surest thing involved was that the late, like the early crop season, is nn early one and that'danger from frosts in the North and boll weevil at the South, is rather slight. The promise at present is nlxiut as Indicated a month ago, that Is for a big corn crop, 3,000,000,(XX) bushels, against 2,437,000.000 bushels a year ago. "Spring, like winter wheat, will be Ixslow a year ago. While cotton is indefinite, a crop fully equa l to Inst year 's 13,600,000 hales is prolwble. Potato and tobacco yields will lx> short of last year. "One of the features of the industrial situation which nets It apart from that of a year ago was the failure of the reaction, which Txicnnlc visible In March , to go as far ns it did last summer. As already noted , silk , cement and ruhlxir manu-facturing have broken records this spring. In addition, automobile, plg-lron, steel, cotton and woolen manufacturing and lumber production , to cite a few more prominent Instances, have all exceeded a year ago In output. Thirteen million gold marks (about $3,(XX),000) flow into the coffers of the German post office , annually, In the form of radio license fees. The National Board of Fire Under-write ™ announces that lire destruction In tills country In 1894 amounted to $548,- 810.639—the largest total ever known ThU meant a daily low of •1,600,000. Hershey High School Building Modern From Every Viewpoin t The schoolhouse no longer is just an old brick building, although it has not been many years since it was considered, from an architectural viewpoint, among the least attractive of a community's im-provements. It isn't likely that a score of years ago a community booster would have exploited his town or city by displaying the school building of that time, for while these old structures were substantial in construction they were frequently impracticable and nearly always lacking in beauty. This condition is a thing of the past, however, and the appearance of educa-tional buildings in recent years has ad-vanced in a measure as great as education itself, with the result that the modern school building, from any viewpoint, will more than hold its own with structural im-provements of all types and will be a lasting benefit to the community in which it is built. Hershey's new High School building ranks high in the architectural world, and it will compare favorable with any educa-tional structure to be found in any of the larger cities. Its construction cost close to $600,000. Every facility known to modem times was installed in the building, while its design is destined to make the structure an eventual show place of the town. The High School has three stories and basement, 135 by 235 feet, with three wings. It fronts on Granada Avenue, forming a semi-circle. Construction is of concrete and light buff brick with terra-cotta and limestone trim. C. Emlin Urban , of Lancaster, was the architect. An imposing tower is a feature of the structure. There arc four double doors leading into the building. Inside is a wide stairway, which leads to the three floors. Down-stairs is the large auditorium. This auditorium is, we might say, a knockout in its completeness. It is more like a theatre in its arrangement and appoint-ments than one would expect to see in a school. There are three sections of seats on the lower floor, seating 625 persons. In the balcony there are 190 chairs. From the lofty ceiling hang 15 beautiful chande-liers. The chairs are on an incline, per-mitting an unobstructed view of the stage, which is 20 feet deep by 35 feet in length, enabling presentation of plays of an almost metropolitan aspect. The electrical fix-tures are the latest and most modern. There are four double doors leading into the auditorium and six double doors as exits. On this floor are four study rooms. Here, also is the manual training depart-ment, equipped with 7 machines, each with its individual motor. Here also are 26 large woodworking benches. Adjoining the manual training depart-ment is the cafeteria. The kitchen is equipped with electric ranges, electric dishwasher, electric warmer, refrigerator , and what not. The serving counters are modern, with every facility for quick service. The eating space is large, with 41 marble-top mahogany tables and 164 chairs. On the second floor, is 9 study rooms, and 3 smaller rooms. Here is a large library, which is splendidly arranged , having 7 oak tables and 28 oak chairs. The General office , the Supervising Principal's office and the emergency rooms are close by. Further on is the mechanical drawing room, with 39 desks and chairs. On the third floor is 6 study rooms and 3 smaller rooms. Here is the tyiiewriter room, with 20 desks, and each holding a Royal typewriter. Down the corridor , (acing the north , is the laboratory—which is without a doubt one ol the finest and most complete to be found in any High School in the entire county. The study room is equipped with 18 desks and 36 chairs. In the lecture room is an electric stereoptican , with chairs. The laboratory itself is equipped with every modern device de-voted to experimental study in any branch of natural science, or to the application of scientific principles in testing and analysis or in the preparation of chemicals, etc. Across the corridor is the music room, with 40 chairs and a new Windsor piano. In the eastern wing is the sewing room, with 4 tables, 24 chairs, 5 Singer sewing machines, and other furniture. Close by is the Domestic Science room. Here are 7 electric stoves, with bakers, 12 work tables and 7 sinks, and other furni-ture and appliances. In an adjoining room is the model dining room. Each of the study rooms has its book and cloak closets. An intercommunicat-ing telephone system has been installed throughout the entire building. Sanitary drinking fountains are located just where they are most needed. The fire-fighting apparatus is modern. This beautiful educational building did not cost the taxpayers of Derry Township a single penny. It was erected by Mr. M. S. Hershey, who has donated it to the Derry Township School Board, as he did the Consolidated School building. What a fortunate thing it is for the people of this township that they have Mr. M. S. Hershey living in their midst, who so willingly goes ahead and provides modern educational facilities for their children. We wonder many times just how many there are who really appreciate what he has done and continues to do. Which reminds us of Wordsworth , who says: "I've heard of hearts unkind , kind deeds, With coldness still returning; Alas, the gratitude of men Hath often left me mourning." The Reformers. They have snatched away his beer From the downtrod working man, Now he must make his own The beat way that he can. They have changed the old saloon To a soda fountain ; here For two bits he can buy A bottle of near-beer. They won't let the poor cuss spit On the floors of trolley cars, If caught at this he may Be put behind the bars. They delete the choicest scenes Of the movies that he sees, They 'd like to legislate The skippers from the cheese. They don 't like to see a man ' Steer his auto with one arm , Although the other 's used To keep hia girl friend warm. Now the prohibition fight Is what you might call won, They 're looking round alxnit For pew deeds to l>e done. We have stood for quite a lot From these reforming guys , But patience has Its end And when some poor sap tries.

The darn fool was so monstrous long that on Ills way back from getting a drink at the spring he mot hia other end only halfway down the hill." We suppose you Dauphin Countians have often heard the snake story old Colonel Something-or-other from Up Where I Come From is so fond of telling. Says the Colonel, "In them days 1 was doin' quite a bit of travelin ' and as I had never seen the Capitol buildings at Harris-burg, I went up there one midwinter day. Reno that in a short time people will be calling Reno the Towanda of the West. Inside Information. In her drajicd and darkened tent the amateur palmist was telling fortunes for the charity bazaar . "Ah," she said impressively to a fair maiden who had impatiently waited her turn , "I see by your hand that you are going to be married ." "How wonderful!" breathed the client with a blush and a giggle. "Moreover," continued the scercss. a note of acerbity creeping into her voice. "I see the happy man is to be Mr. Jinks. ") iul nurcly, " exclaimed the maid in real surprise, "you can 't read that from the lines in my hand ." "Lines nothing, " exclaimed the sibyl with sudden scorn. "You are wearing the ring I returned to Mr. Jinks three weeks ago!" As I drew near the Capitol I saw a wonder-ful commotion on the grounds. The snow which was about a foot deep was a dyin ' in all directions, and as I drew still nearer I could make out what the rumpus was about. Right there in midwinter as I said afore, was two of the largest reptiles I have ever laid eyes on, a wraslin' to beat the hand. All to once one reptile grabbed the other 's tail in his mouth. The second reptile grabbed the first reptile by the tail likewise. They formed a sort of a hoop thataways a-rollin ' around and around the grounds, a-gradually catln ' of each other up till as sure as my name's Colonel Some-thing- or-other they tee-totally consumed one another till nary n sixxxlgin of either snake was left. Now sir, my story may seem a hit hard to believe, and to tell the truth the liquor a feller gets now a days ain 't near so gcxxl as It was them days. Howsomever if old Lis Struble was alive I could prove my story beyond the shudder of a doubt because he was the first person I ever told it to." Special Sale A portly lady with a great many bundles, who looked as if she had been buying out the stores, stcxxl in front of a window at a station. "Has the train for S|xxmersville gone yet?" she asked. "No, madam," said the ticket seller. "How far is it there?" was tlie next question. "Alxnit seventy miles, madam." "What 's the price of a ticket?" ' , "One ninety-eight ," was the reply. "One ninety-eight!" she repeated. "I low does it happen to Ixj that?" "I don 't know , madam," answered the ticket seller deferentially mid with a glance at the bundles ," unless it 's marked down from two dollars. " "Now, km," said Old Man Tate of Skunks Corners to his Hitter-Half the other night , "I know you must be |x>w,erful tired lifter ennnin ' so many tomatoes as you did to-dny. Now you just set right down and rest yourself. I'll get supper myself. " Here is how Old Mnn Tnte got supper ; "Judwin , you run down and get some 'taters and |xh;I 'em. Zcli, you fill the tcaketlle and set the table. Obedinh, shake yourself down cellar and slice oil ten or fifteen slices of ham and bring up a can of preserves." After supper, Old Man Tate remarked , "Km, I guess if all men was as handy around the house and as rcwly and wlllln ' to help out their tired wives as I he mine, thero 'd he fewer divorces." You Wouldn 't Believe It. (Would You?) You wouldn 't Ix-'lieve It , would you! But now it Is nearly September.

G. H. Moyer To Speak To Chocolate Company Employees Monday Evening On Monday evening, August 31, at 8.00 o'clock, all employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company, Hershey Depart-ment Store, Hershey Lumber Co., Hershey Transit Co., Hershey Farms and other allied industries, are earnestly requested to attend a "Safety Meeting", at which Hon. G. H. Moyer, who is in charge of the State Workmen's Insurance Fund, will be the speaker. An injury to, or loss of, any part of the human body is always saddening. Sym-pathy is quick to respond to those who are unfortunate thru any form of physical incapacity. But modern industry, while it has done wonders in reducing its hazards, still demands much in the way of pain and suffering from ' those who court her re-wards. New processes and developments in industry have created new hazards yet only a small percentage of the millions of gainfully employed are exposed to them. The bulk of injuries are still caused by hazards which existed long before the age of machinery. Falls of persons and ob-jects have perhaps claimed more victims than wars and automobiles combined yet safety men are still busy teaching people to work and live safely in spite of the law of gravitati on. Flying part icles have caused eye injuries since the stone age but getting men to use protective devices is still an acute problem in many plants. No hazard which still figures in the accident reports is too old or too familiar to be discarded from present and future discussions. It is sure to be new to many while others have forgotten it. We do not need new subjects so much as new ideas, new viewpoints and new presentations of many of our old ones. Mr. Moyer is an able and eloquent speaker, we might say, orator has the happy knack of putting things across. The details of accident prevention have become so familiar to us that we take it for granted everyone else knows about them. Mr. Moyer will tell us how to overcome or safeguard those frailties of human charac-ter which, left without attention, create unsafe conditions and practice which undermine our work. There will be two reels of moving pic-tures. Don't forget the date, Monday evening, August 31st. The hour, 8.00 p. m. The place, Hershey Central Theatre. It is urged that every employee make it a point to be present, women, as well as the rnen. We want to tax the Hershey Cen-tral Theatre to its utmost capacity. "Friendly Enemies ", Now Playing at He rshey Park, Should Be Seen by All Since the memorable night in March 1918, when President Wilson rose in his box at the National Theatre, Washington and publicly endorsed "Friendly Enemies", that play has been establishing itself as one of the greatest popular successes of all times. It has been playing continuously for two years throughout the length and breadth of the United States and the British Isles to audiences that literally cheered in the enthusiasm of their approval. "Friendly Enemies" will be presented at Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday by the Sherwood Players. President Wilson's comment on the play is internationally famous. He said— "All that I can say has already been said most admirably in this beautiful play. All the sentiments I could express have been admirably represented—sentiments that I hope, will soon grip the world." To the President's endorsement has since been added the endorsement of other notable men; the enthusiastic approval of the press of the United States and Great Britain and the applause of millions of playgoers in both countries. The New York Times, one of the most conversative newspapers in the United States called the play, "one of the great theatrical proper-ties of the last decade." "Friendly Enemies" will make you laugh and weep almost at the same in-stant; it will make you feel and it will make you think. A famous critic said "Friendly Enemies Enemies' has the laughs of 'Potash and Perlmutter' and the tears of 'The Music Master.' " No playgoer who is at all interested in the theatre can afford to miss this masterpiece of popular appeal which is making theatrical history. In "Friendly Enemies", there are two Germans, one friendly to Germany, one to America, but each a close friend of the other. Karl Pfeiffer still clings to his German traditions, while Henry Block is a loyal citizen. Eventually, as the interest-ing plot unwinds, Karl also turns against Germany and becomes loyal, but mean-while, they have many arguments.

FRED PRONIO AND HIS ORCHESTRA The crowds of people who have as-sembled to hear the concerts given by Fred Pronio and His Orchestra at Hershey Park this summer afford plenty of evidence both that this is a music-loving community and that we had a good orchestra. The hearty applause that was given upon the rendition of the selections were particularly encouraging. The relation between the orchestra and the community is a reciprocal one. For a thoroly successful concert a good orchestra, is the first essential, and a good audience the second. It is heartening to feel that Hershey Park had both. Mr. Pronio, who had charge of the orchestra this season, as in past seasons, brought to his work not only excellent technical qualifications, but plenty of '. enthusiasm and an attitude that makes for i team work. The members of the orches-tra responded and gave their best. The < orchestra merited the encouragement that' ' ,they received and they responded to it ' whole-heartedly, rendering programs rep- ' resenting the highest type of music, inter-spersed with popular and syncopated j azz, , covering a wide field of musical endeavor, i During the Summer from Decoration < Day to Labor Day the orchestra played < daily, before audiences that numbered up I to the thousands. On*-special occasions ' the large seating area in front of the band- < shell has been taxed to its utmost—which ; clearly shows how much the people of I Hershey and vicinity care for music of a superior sort. Music not only provides education and entertainment, but injects culture into the masses and brings a wholesome, favorable influence into their lives. Music increases contentment and adds enjoyment of life. Its great function is to steady the nerves. It cures hundreds of mental patients who might otherwise remain unresponsive to treatment, and it is reforming derelects in aur reformatories and prisons. It is as 5ssential to the human race as food or Fresh air, especially in these hectic days when life proceeds at a high rate of speed. Good music inspires man with fresh vigor ind energy and sends him to his daily talk with a light heart and willing hands. Fred Pron io and His Orchestra Proved Big Drawing Card

It has been suggested that those who have machines be on h-nd in order to transport the children to tie homes assigned them. In welcoming to their homes these little boys and-girls from the slums of the nations metropolis the people of Hershey and vicinity are doing a philanthropy, the myriad benefits of which will never be recorded. They are providing for these walled up children of the city streets not only a two weeks' vacation in the country, but an opportunity that will carry with it considerable influence for good as the youngsters go back to the big city's slums.

The pupils will report on Tuesday morn-ing, September 1st. All pupils from the first to the sixth grade inclusive, are to report in the Grade Building and all pupils from the seventh to twelfth grades in the new Junior-Senior High School. It is important that all of the Junior- Senior High School pupils assemble at once in the auditorium on the main floor where the first Chapel exercises will be conducted and necessary assignments to rooms be made. The time set for the 1st assembly will be 9.00 o'clock, and the doors will be opened for the admission of the pupils at 8.45. The pupils will be admitted to the Grade Building at the same time as on previous years—8.25 a. m. and the bell will ring at 8.40. CAFETERIA NOTICE Due to the fact that some of the utensils for use in the Cafeteria have not been shipped, the cafeteria service must be deferred for several weeks. It will be necessary therefore , for the pupils to pro-vide their own lunches until proper an-nouncement for the use of the cafeteria will be made. SCHOOL HOURS Morning session, from 8.40 to 11.50. Noon intermission from 11.50 to 1.00 Afternoon session from 1.00 to 3.50. TRANSPORTATION At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors, Thomas Fox was engaged to transport- three truck loads of school children from the Sand Beach and Bradley Quarry sections of the township, and Joseph Ulrich to transport two truck loads from the Stovcrdale district to Hummels-town and two loads from the Waltonville and Sunny Side district to the trolley at the Valley Road. MILE-AND-A-HALF LIMIT According to law the district is not com-pelled to transport pupils who live less than a mile and a half along the nearest public road from school. In former years pupils living north of Hershey and within this limit were accorded the privileges of the truck so long ns the load was not full. This service must now )>c discontinued to enable the driver to take care of children who live beyond the mile and a half limit.

These girls were trained under the direc-tion of Harry Z. Wilt, of York, Pa., and are 12 in number. They will give a demonstration in life-saving, water safety and First Aid. This exhibition will be free . Optimism Gaining In Business World The feeling of cheerfulness that had its inception in late May and became wide-spread in June, reached notable propor-tions in July, when in a month not usually noted for such developments a really optimistic view as to trade and industry generally pervaded the business world, according to the monthly review of gen-eral business conditions in the current number of Nation 's Business Magazine, published by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. "The fact that industry generally did not , as earlier feared, recede as it did a year ago, thus making for better than expected employment, also helped," it states. "Midsummer retail trade, though below June, was certainly better than a vear ago. fall buvine was more perceptible, business failures and liabilities continued to decrease from last year and the bank clearings outside of New York increased over June. "The apparent illogical situation was noted of trade, impressed by farm product prices, being higher than a year ago, losing sight of the fact that these higher prices were mainly based on smaller prospective crop yields. Americans generally have gotten away from the time when big yields, pure and simple, were hailed as a stimulant to busi-ness. The answer is probably that there never really was any profit in the oldtime burdensome surpluses, except possibly to the railroads in the form of enlarged ton-nage, because the surpluses had to be sold in the world's markets at any price they would bring. "The upward movement in all whole-sale prices, except for farm products, which lx:gnn in May, went further in July to a point indeed higher than at any time since late in 1920. An upward rush of prices may have its drawbacks later. Several times In the last half dozen years the result of these advances have not been such as to commend themselves to ultimate consumers. Speculation as to just where and when the price shoe will pinch suffi-ciently hard , however, remains a problem. There are those who think , however, that consumption would be vastly stimulated if prices generally could lie gotten down uniformly to a lower level. "Crop developments have been closely watched , but the advices from nature s laboratory have not been altogether con-clusive. Alxnit the surest thing involved was that the late, like the early crop season, is nn early one and that'danger from frosts in the North and boll weevil at the South, is rather slight. The promise at present is nlxiut as Indicated a month ago, that Is for a big corn crop, 3,000,000,(XX) bushels, against 2,437,000.000 bushels a year ago. "Spring, like winter wheat, will be Ixslow a year ago. While cotton is indefinite, a crop fully equa l to Inst year 's 13,600,000 hales is prolwble. Potato and tobacco yields will lx> short of last year. "One of the features of the industrial situation which nets It apart from that of a year ago was the failure of the reaction, which Txicnnlc visible In March , to go as far ns it did last summer. As already noted , silk , cement and ruhlxir manu-facturing have broken records this spring. In addition, automobile, plg-lron, steel, cotton and woolen manufacturing and lumber production , to cite a few more prominent Instances, have all exceeded a year ago In output. Thirteen million gold marks (about $3,(XX),000) flow into the coffers of the German post office , annually, In the form of radio license fees. The National Board of Fire Under-write ™ announces that lire destruction In tills country In 1894 amounted to $548,- 810.639—the largest total ever known ThU meant a daily low of •1,600,000. Hershey High School Building Modern From Every Viewpoin t The schoolhouse no longer is just an old brick building, although it has not been many years since it was considered, from an architectural viewpoint, among the least attractive of a community's im-provements. It isn't likely that a score of years ago a community booster would have exploited his town or city by displaying the school building of that time, for while these old structures were substantial in construction they were frequently impracticable and nearly always lacking in beauty. This condition is a thing of the past, however, and the appearance of educa-tional buildings in recent years has ad-vanced in a measure as great as education itself, with the result that the modern school building, from any viewpoint, will more than hold its own with structural im-provements of all types and will be a lasting benefit to the community in which it is built. Hershey's new High School building ranks high in the architectural world, and it will compare favorable with any educa-tional structure to be found in any of the larger cities. Its construction cost close to $600,000. Every facility known to modem times was installed in the building, while its design is destined to make the structure an eventual show place of the town. The High School has three stories and basement, 135 by 235 feet, with three wings. It fronts on Granada Avenue, forming a semi-circle. Construction is of concrete and light buff brick with terra-cotta and limestone trim. C. Emlin Urban , of Lancaster, was the architect. An imposing tower is a feature of the structure. There arc four double doors leading into the building. Inside is a wide stairway, which leads to the three floors. Down-stairs is the large auditorium. This auditorium is, we might say, a knockout in its completeness. It is more like a theatre in its arrangement and appoint-ments than one would expect to see in a school. There are three sections of seats on the lower floor, seating 625 persons. In the balcony there are 190 chairs. From the lofty ceiling hang 15 beautiful chande-liers. The chairs are on an incline, per-mitting an unobstructed view of the stage, which is 20 feet deep by 35 feet in length, enabling presentation of plays of an almost metropolitan aspect. The electrical fix-tures are the latest and most modern. There are four double doors leading into the auditorium and six double doors as exits. On this floor are four study rooms. Here, also is the manual training depart-ment, equipped with 7 machines, each with its individual motor. Here also are 26 large woodworking benches. Adjoining the manual training depart-ment is the cafeteria. The kitchen is equipped with electric ranges, electric dishwasher, electric warmer, refrigerator , and what not. The serving counters are modern, with every facility for quick service. The eating space is large, with 41 marble-top mahogany tables and 164 chairs. On the second floor, is 9 study rooms, and 3 smaller rooms. Here is a large library, which is splendidly arranged , having 7 oak tables and 28 oak chairs. The General office , the Supervising Principal's office and the emergency rooms are close by. Further on is the mechanical drawing room, with 39 desks and chairs. On the third floor is 6 study rooms and 3 smaller rooms. Here is the tyiiewriter room, with 20 desks, and each holding a Royal typewriter. Down the corridor , (acing the north , is the laboratory—which is without a doubt one ol the finest and most complete to be found in any High School in the entire county. The study room is equipped with 18 desks and 36 chairs. In the lecture room is an electric stereoptican , with chairs. The laboratory itself is equipped with every modern device de-voted to experimental study in any branch of natural science, or to the application of scientific principles in testing and analysis or in the preparation of chemicals, etc. Across the corridor is the music room, with 40 chairs and a new Windsor piano. In the eastern wing is the sewing room, with 4 tables, 24 chairs, 5 Singer sewing machines, and other furniture. Close by is the Domestic Science room. Here are 7 electric stoves, with bakers, 12 work tables and 7 sinks, and other furni-ture and appliances. In an adjoining room is the model dining room. Each of the study rooms has its book and cloak closets. An intercommunicat-ing telephone system has been installed throughout the entire building. Sanitary drinking fountains are located just where they are most needed. The fire-fighting apparatus is modern. This beautiful educational building did not cost the taxpayers of Derry Township a single penny. It was erected by Mr. M. S. Hershey, who has donated it to the Derry Township School Board, as he did the Consolidated School building. What a fortunate thing it is for the people of this township that they have Mr. M. S. Hershey living in their midst, who so willingly goes ahead and provides modern educational facilities for their children. We wonder many times just how many there are who really appreciate what he has done and continues to do. Which reminds us of Wordsworth , who says: "I've heard of hearts unkind , kind deeds, With coldness still returning; Alas, the gratitude of men Hath often left me mourning." The Reformers. They have snatched away his beer From the downtrod working man, Now he must make his own The beat way that he can.

We suppose you Dauphin Countians have often heard the snake story old Colonel Something-or-other from Up Where I Come From is so fond of telling. Says the Colonel, "In them days 1 was doin' quite a bit of travelin ' and as I had never seen the Capitol buildings at Harris-burg, I went up there one midwinter day.

"Ah," she said impressively to a fair maiden who had impatiently waited her turn , "I see by your hand that you are going to be married ." "How wonderful!" breathed the client with a blush and a giggle. "Moreover," continued the scercss. a note of acerbity creeping into her voice. "I see the happy man is to be Mr. Jinks. ") iul nurcly, " exclaimed the maid in real surprise, "you can 't read that from the lines in my hand ." "Lines nothing, " exclaimed the sibyl with sudden scorn. "You are wearing the ring I returned to Mr. Jinks three weeks ago!" As I drew near the Capitol I saw a wonder-ful commotion on the grounds. The snow which was about a foot deep was a dyin ' in all directions, and as I drew still nearer I could make out what the rumpus was about. Right there in midwinter as I said afore, was two of the largest reptiles I have ever laid eyes on, a wraslin' to beat the hand. All to once one reptile grabbed the other 's tail in his mouth. The second reptile grabbed the first reptile by the tail likewise. They formed a sort of a hoop thataways a-rollin ' around and around the grounds, a-gradually catln ' of each other up till as sure as my name's Colonel Some-thing- or-other they tee-totally consumed one another till nary n sixxxlgin of either snake was left.

Howsomever if old Lis Struble was alive I could prove my story beyond the shudder of a doubt because he was the first person I ever told it to." Special Sale A portly lady with a great many bundles, who looked as if she had been buying out the stores, stcxxl in front of a window at a station. "Has the train for S|xxmersville gone yet?" she asked. "No, madam," said the ticket seller. "How far is it there?" was tlie next question. "Alxnit seventy miles, madam." "What 's the price of a ticket?" ' , "One ninety-eight ," was the reply. "One ninety-eight!" she repeated. "I low does it happen to Ixj that?" "I don 't know , madam," answered the ticket seller deferentially mid with a glance at the bundles ," unless it 's marked down from two dollars.

G. H. Moyer To Speak To Chocolate Company Employees Monday Evening On Monday evening, August 31, at 8.00 o'clock, all employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company, Hershey Depart-ment Store, Hershey Lumber Co., Hershey Transit Co., Hershey Farms and other allied industries, are earnestly requested to attend a "Safety Meeting", at which Hon. G. H. Moyer, who is in charge of the State Workmen's Insurance Fund, will be the speaker. An injury to, or loss of, any part of the human body is always saddening. Sym-pathy is quick to respond to those who are unfortunate thru any form of physical incapacity. But modern industry, while it has done wonders in reducing its hazards, still demands much in the way of pain and suffering from ' those who court her re-wards. New processes and developments in industry have created new hazards yet only a small percentage of the millions of gainfully employed are exposed to them. The bulk of injuries are still caused by hazards which existed long before the age of machinery. Falls of persons and ob-jects have perhaps claimed more victims than wars and automobiles combined yet safety men are still busy teaching people to work and live safely in spite of the law of gravitati on. Flying part icles have caused eye injuries since the stone age but getting men to use protective devices is still an acute problem in many plants. No hazard which still figures in the accident reports is too old or too familiar to be discarded from present and future discussions. It is sure to be new to many while others have forgotten it. We do not need new subjects so much as new ideas, new viewpoints and new presentations of many of our old ones. Mr. Moyer is an able and eloquent speaker, we might say, orator has the happy knack of putting things across. The details of accident prevention have become so familiar to us that we take it for granted everyone else knows about them. Mr. Moyer will tell us how to overcome or safeguard those frailties of human charac-ter which, left without attention, create unsafe conditions and practice which undermine our work. There will be two reels of moving pic-tures. Don't forget the date, Monday evening, August 31st. The hour, 8.00 p. m. The place, Hershey Central Theatre. It is urged that every employee make it a point to be present, women, as well as the rnen. We want to tax the Hershey Cen-tral Theatre to its utmost capacity. "Friendly Enemies ", Now Playing at He rshey Park, Should Be Seen by All Since the memorable night in March 1918, when President Wilson rose in his box at the National Theatre, Washington and publicly endorsed "Friendly Enemies", that play has been establishing itself as one of the greatest popular successes of all times. It has been playing continuously for two years throughout the length and breadth of the United States and the British Isles to audiences that literally cheered in the enthusiasm of their approval. "Friendly Enemies" will be presented at Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday by the Sherwood Players. President Wilson's comment on the play is internationally famous. He said— "All that I can say has already been said most admirably in this beautiful play. All the sentiments I could express have been admirably represented—sentiments that I hope, will soon grip the world." To the President's endorsement has since been added the endorsement of other notable men; the enthusiastic approval of the press of the United States and Great Britain and the applause of millions of playgoers in both countries. The New York Times, one of the most conversative newspapers in the United States called the play, "one of the great theatrical proper-ties of the last decade." "Friendly Enemies" will make you laugh and weep almost at the same in-stant; it will make you feel and it will make you think. A famous critic said "Friendly Enemies Enemies' has the laughs of 'Potash and Perlmutter' and the tears of 'The Music Master.' " No playgoer who is at all interested in the theatre can afford to miss this masterpiece of popular appeal which is making theatrical history. In "Friendly Enemies", there are two Germans, one friendly to Germany, one to America, but each a close friend of the other. Karl Pfeiffer still clings to his German traditions, while Henry Block is a loyal citizen. Eventually, as the interest-ing plot unwinds, Karl also turns against Germany and becomes loyal, but mean-while, they have many arguments.

FRED PRONIO AND HIS ORCHESTRA The crowds of people who have as-sembled to hear the concerts given by Fred Pronio and His Orchestra at Hershey Park this summer afford plenty of evidence both that this is a music-loving community and that we had a good orchestra. The hearty applause that was given upon the rendition of the selections were particularly encouraging. The relation between the orchestra and the community is a reciprocal one. For a thoroly successful concert a good orchestra, is the first essential, and a good audience the second. It is heartening to feel that Hershey Park had both. Mr. Pronio, who had charge of the orchestra this season, as in past seasons, brought to his work not only excellent technical qualifications, but plenty of '. enthusiasm and an attitude that makes for i team work. The members of the orches-tra responded and gave their best. The < orchestra merited the encouragement that' ' ,they received and they responded to it ' whole-heartedly, rendering programs rep- ' resenting the highest type of music, inter-spersed with popular and syncopated j azz, , covering a wide field of musical endeavor, i During the Summer from Decoration < Day to Labor Day the orchestra played < daily, before audiences that numbered up I to the thousands. On*-special occasions ' the large seating area in front of the band- < shell has been taxed to its utmost—which ; clearly shows how much the people of I Hershey and vicinity care for music of a superior sort. Music not only provides education and entertainment, but injects culture into the masses and brings a wholesome, favorable influence into their lives. Music increases contentment and adds enjoyment of life. Its great function is to steady the nerves. It cures hundreds of mental patients who might otherwise remain unresponsive to treatment, and it is reforming derelects in aur reformatories and prisons. It is as 5ssential to the human race as food or Fresh air, especially in these hectic days when life proceeds at a high rate of speed. Good music inspires man with fresh vigor ind energy and sends him to his daily talk with a light heart and willing hands. Fred Pron io and His Orchestra Proved Big Drawing Card |
