Big Dance at Men's Club Frida y Evening So successful was the first Mid-Winter Dance that was held at the-Hershey Men's Club several weeks ago, that, owing to the popular demand, another one will be held on Friday evening of this week. The committee of arrangements have spared no expense in which to surpass their previous efforts, and as a result the orches-tra furnishing the music on Friday evening, will be a jim-dandy. The musicians will be seven in number, and they are the cream of Phil. Fisher's Peerless Orchestra. These lads certainly can syncopate a joyful medley that makes the most blase of modern dancers keep a stepping whether they are so inclined or not. As last time, a crowded floor is antici-pated , and the committee promises every-one attending on Friday evening, a regular, honest-to-goodness good time. Join the crowd on Friday evening, and by so doing help swell the treasury of the Hershey baseball team. Admission, 50 cents. There will be "eats." At Last , "Hunchback of Notre Dame" to be Shown Sere Af ter months of readin g of the greatness of Universale "Hunchback of Notre Dame," Hershey will have a chance to see this classic, as it is booked for showing at the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20th and 21st. The engagement will be limited to two days. Lon Chaney is the star and his interpretation of the role of "Quasimodo" is said to be the greatest piece of work that he has ever accomplished. The cast is one of the finest ever gathered together and includes such well-known artists as Ernest Torrence, Patsy Ruth Miller, Nigel de Brulier , Brandon Hurst, Kate Lester, Gladys Brockwell, Eulalie Jensen, Tully Marshall and John Cossar. The entire production was made at Universal City, Calif ornia , and is the crowning achievement in a long list of superlatively fine film productions made by Carl Laemmle. Miss Verna Mae Hershe y Announces Engagement The apartment of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Evans, of Lebanon, was the scene of a very pretty party Friday evening at which time the engagement of Miss Verna Mae Her-shey and Henry Kuntzelman was an-nounced. The table was very appropriately deco-rated for a Valentine Party. The an-nouncement was made in a rather unique way. Immediately following the luncheon each guest was given a cross word puzzle in which the news was concealed. No date has been set for the wedding. The guests included Verna M. Hershey, Helen Her-shey, Lucia Jones, Lydia and Kathryn Weltmer, Harry Hocker, Harold Risser, Henry Kuntzelman and Dr. and Mrs. Charles Evans Miss Hershey is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Hershey, of Elizabethtown, and former residents of Hershey. She is a graduate of Elizabeth-town High School and Temple University and is now employed as teacher of Domes-tic Science at the Junior High School, of Lebanon. Mr. Kuntzelman was formerly a resident of Tower City and a graduate of the High School of that city and also of Lebanon Valley College. He is also a member of the Junior Hi gh School faculty at Lebanon and teaches mathematics. Their many friends wish them a bright and prosperous future. Scranton Easy for Hershe y Travelers The famous Scranton I^acc Co. basket-ball team went down to defeat at the hands of the fast going Hershey Travelers on Friday evening, Feb. 6th , on the Men's Club floor , before a lar ge and enthusiastic crowd of rooters, by the one-sided score of 54 to :!6. The Travelers displayed the beat brand of basketball which they have exhibited this season. The passing and shooting was accurate at nil limes. The Scranton team came here with a enviable record to their credit and the local team can feel justly proud of defeating this com-bination. Jones wan the high scorer for Scranton, accounting for fourteen of their IK)intB , while Purcell and Gcrlnch were the shining lightH for Hershey. At half time Sam Curry and Julie Purcell indulged in the heftiest bout of the Reason, which was declared a draw after three rounds.

The credit for the development in the work goes to Alex. Magrini, who has given untirinl gy of his time, ability and energy to further the cause. When Mr. Magrini took hold of this work a little less than a year ago, organiz-ing the Scout movement in Hershey, he found little or no encouragement. Un-daunted, he undertook the work, and the movement finds Hershey with a Troop second to none. Hershey is indeed fortunate to have a Boy Scout Troop with such a leader as Alex. Magrini. Hershey can show its appreciation in many ways, but lending a helping hand and a word of encouragement is the best way. Mr. Magrini did a good deed when he organized a Boy Scout Troop. There is room for other troops in the town, but? there is a lack of scoutmasters—clean, self-reliant, young leaders who can organize and build up a troop. This is the biggest handicap Scouting has everywhere, and Hershey is no exception. Tuesday was the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scout move-ments which was founded by Sir Robert Baden-Powell, an English general, right after the British-Boer War, in which he served with distinction. The idea of scouting was born through an interesting circumstance. Recruits sent to General Baden-Powell from England were found utterly unable to take care of themselves in the open. The General began their training by a series of experiments that later developed into the Boy Scout pro-gram. He is today known as the Chief Scou^x>f. the, World. --The" scouts have grown to be a mighty organization in the 15 years of their exist-ence in this country. Today there are 21,922 troops, with a membership of 542,218 scouts, with 154,053 adult volun-teer leaders. There are 2,000,000 men in the United States who are former scouts, and the program of the week had for its working slogan, "Once a Scout, Always a Scout," with the keynote of its purpose the renewal of the scout associations of these former members. The following are among the major objectives of the scout movement. To promote, through organization, and co-operation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance and kindred virtues, using the methods which are now in common use by Boy Scouts by placing emphasis on the Scout Oath and Law for character-develop-ment, citizenship-training and physical fitness. To reach with a high quality of leader-ship the utmost number of boys. To hold permanently in the membership in some capacity, every boy who joins a troop. To persistently enroll new scouts and find places for them in troops. To secure steady advance by scouts toward the rank of Eagle Scout. To secure for every boy opportunities for a large measure of educational and recreational outdoor activity particularly hikes, over-night camps, and participation in standardized Boy Scout summer and winter camps. To have every scout properly uniformed as a help to him and an aid in maintaining public interests in him as a scout. To maintain conditions so that boys actually intensely desire to be scouts and so that men are willing to give volunteer service as scoutmasters, assistant scout-masters, troop committee men and mem-bers of local councils. Last, but yet first, to promote the Daily Good Turn and Troop Civic Service and Community Betterment Good Turn, Travelers Avenge Former Defeat On Wednesday evening, Feb. 4th , the Hershey Travelers defeated the Berks team, of Lebanon , by the score of 26 to 25, in the most s|j ectacular game seen on the Men's Club floor this season. The Berks boys started off with a rush , and assumed a four point lead , which the Travelers managed to cut to two by half time. The beginning of the second half was a repetition of the proceeding one. With ten minutes left to play, the Trave-lers called time out , and when play was resumed they started to cut into the Berks lead until the score was tied. From then on until the last minute of play, f irst one and then the other team would forge into the lead. With one minute lef t , Berks was leadin g by one point, when Fasnacht shot a sensational field goal, annexing the game for the Travelers . Almost immediately after the next tap-off , the whistle blew ending the game. In picking out the stars of the game, there was one who towered nlxive the others, who played so hard that at the finish of the game it wan necessary to carry him off the (l<x>r , due to his exhausted condition , and that was Hair y Fasnacht . "Fausty " was in every play, both de-fensively nnd offensively, nineteen of the Travelers jx>intH going to his credit. For the Berks team, Mentzer, Dissinger and Deck were the stars.

Hallgren Vividly Describes His Tri p to the Holy Lands After a whole night s travel from Jaffa I for his return trip to Jaffa. We paid him to Arimathea, over the plain of Sharon and through the valley of Ajolort our three-horse bus very early on a crisp November morning reached the top of a high hill from where .;the road went in numerous zigzag curves down in a deep valley to a little bridge over the creek Kidron, where we stopped to water the horses and where we in the meantime refreshed ourselves with a cup of tea in a little shack labeled "Hotel." The present name of the place is Ammoaz and is known from the Gospel of St. Luke as Emaus. Here it was where David gathered small stones for his fight with Goliath and as a commemoration thereof the Russian pilgrims today gather and carry with them home as souvenirs small f lat stones f rom the bottom of the creek. After half an hour's rest we resumed our journey, all wide awake and exceedingly anxious to get the first glimpse of the great, famous and perhaps the world's oldest city to-day, Jerusalem, which has passed through periods of unparalell pride and glory, stages of indescribable misery and scenes of earthly Hell. The road was steadily ascending among the mountains, a cool morning breeze was doing its best to dampen our enthusiasm, but the rising sun throwing its golden rays over the floating clouds made us feel inspired as the crusaders of old, who hundreds of years ago tramped this same road . What a tremendous travel and varied history this road has passed through in its existence! Here came the Roman cohorts with their soldiers, horses -and chariots! The hundreds of thousands of crusaders, the Mohammedan conquerors and today the thousands of pilgrims, who make it their life's aim and goal to see Jerusalem and pray at the sacred me-morials and last but not least the inter-country travel for the past 3000 or 4000 years! After a long uphill drive we suddenly passed through the suburb of the city, situated on the hills where the Roman Emperor Titus had his headquarters when he besieged and destroyed the city 70 A. D., and not very far away the great old western wall flared in the morning sun as a stretch of unbleached circus canvas. Most of the buildings here are comparatively new and in European style and a few modern hotels are also here situated for the benefit and comfort of wealthy travel-ers. We proceeded , however, to the Jaffa-gate, near the tower of Zion, where the driver stopped at one of the caravansaries to feed and rest his horses and get ready 3 midjidies and lugged our belongings with us up to Khan Copti in the western part of the City within the wall, where we got a "furnished room" with light for 4 piaster per day, i. e., about 15 cents in U. S. coin, and as we were three to share the burden it amounted to 5c per day individ-ually. But the furnishing was a la Turque, two matting rugs and a water jug", and the coveted privilege of free light meant free oil for a little greasy kerosene lamp. A little iron gratin g served as a window and ventilator and down below in the yard was a concrete waterbasin , its surface, covered with duckweed and pondweed. From this little den we made our excursions over the city and the surrounding country and here in the evenings on the grass rugs around that little lamp we were jotting down our observations and experience of our daily tramps. The city is in regard to layout and style of building strictly oriental, with narrow, ugly alleys and winding paths; only a few thoroughfares deserving the names of streets but there the traffic was limited to travelers on foot and riders on camels and donkeys, only an occasional bus or carria ge now and then was seen to pass through the great multitudes of all nations that rolls steadily back and forward as the strollers on a boardwalk. First among the sacred spots we visited was the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, its cupola arising in the western part of the city. Its exterior is dull and gray but impressive and in its interior has the Catholic tradition placed the .most im-portant events in the drama of the suffer-ings of Christ. We descend a few steps and stop at the entrance involved in the mysterious twilight and the chilly at-mosphere from inside. All daylight is from here excluded and hundreds of wax-candles supply the illumination, some lights having been kept burning for cen-turies back. A moment never to be forgotten is the rehearsing of the Catholic mass, read in chorus by Franciscan monks, audibly over the whole church. The praying multitude is standing still until they finish when the monks give everyone a lit candle. The incense is ignited by an old priest and everybody falls to the floor and kisses the old flagstones. Then a procession is formed , led by the priest and the monks and prayers repeated at every sacred nook and corner where tradition has placed a happening or an incident in the mournful story of the Redeemer. At last we are going up the steps to a large balcony called Mount Cavalry or Golgotha. The song of the choir vibrates lamenting and mournful and holds the same strain while we descend and stop while the incense is burned before a rectan-gular pinkish marbleslab on which Christ is supposed to have been embalmed after taken down from the cross. We proceed now to the tomb from where he is said to have arisen after 3 days and 3 nights and now the downcast features of the pilgrims are suddenly changing to happiness and the hymn of sorrow and lamentation is followed by an aria of joy and praise. Again the multitude goes down on the knees kissing the floor and then scatters giving room f or another audience following in their footsteps. In spite of this church being considered as the Sanctum Sanctissimum of Christianity many a regretful occurence takes place from fanatical jealousy between the different sects whb enjoy the freedom of their ceremonies at fixed hours daily, witnessed and stopped by the Mohamme-dan soldiers, who silent and still are placed on guard to prevent bloodshed. As we emerged from the cool and damp edifice the heat outside felt rather oppres-sive but we proceeded to the Mosque of Omar, one of the most ornamental of Mohammedan sanctuaries and said to be situated on the same place where once stood the famous temple of Solomon in its wonderful glory and also on the rock that most likely did contain the tomb of Christ, but we had no opportunity now to get a glimpse of the interior so we continued to the place of lamentation in the old city wall where the Jews every Friday came together to cry and pray to Jehovah for the redemption of Canaan to the tribes of Israel. It is a heartrendering and miser-able spectacle to see the old Jews in their long coats and furtrimmed caps tearfully reading the Scriptures rocking their bodies back and forward while the women with a loose shawl over their shoulders are kiss-ing the old wallstones in their wailings. Even the gold has for this moment lost its attraction and a proffered coin is scornfully refused. Leaving here, we passed through the Via Dolorosa (the road of sufferings) where Christ carried his cross on his way to Golgotha. On an old building where he was sentenced by Pontius Pilatus the following inscription is read: "Ad arcum ecce homo, ubi Pilatus Christum Judaeis tradidit , ut cruet ficeretur." Through the strolling mass of humanity we continued out through the Jaffa-gate to get a survey over the surroundings. (Concluded Next Week) Buck Jones in "The Man Who Played Square " Tuesda y In what will go down in motion picture annals as his very best picture, according to the claims of William Fox and his associates. Buck Jones the popular western star, will be seen at the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday evening, Feb. 17th, at 7.30 o'clock. This new release is called "The Man Who Played Square" and it is described as "a classic in thrilling romantic melodrama," and, it is said to provide the good-looking Buck with more opportunities for ingratiating acting, ex-citing fighting and daredevil riding than any of his previous pictures. It is a story of the most stirring days in the gold-mining country of Northern California and it has to do with a he-man's battle royal against the great odds of veritable packs of bru te-men of every description and pro-pensity. William Wallace Cook is the author of the story and Al Santell directed the picture. An unusually brilliant cast has been assembled for the production, notably with Wanda Hawley in the leading femi-nine role and with Hank Mann delineating a comedy character of wide appeal with consummate finesse. David "Red" Kirby also distinguishes himself , it is said , with one of his best villainous characterizations. Ben Hendricks, William Scott and Howard Foster have the other principal roles. The outstanding features of this pro-duction , according to advance reports, are the remarkable fights Jones has with various strong adversaries, his daring horsemanship and the charm of a romance such as is seldom undertaken in a western film. The comedy element has not been neglected either and it is promised there will be plenty of occasions for the heartiest kind of laughter , provoked chiefly by I lank Mann, who long since won a world-wide fame as a comedian per excellence. John Elder Men s Bible Class Hold Meetin g The John Elder Men's Bible Class held its regular meeting Monday evening at the home, of Irvin 11. Slesser , 36 West Choco-lat e Avenue.

Of all the institutions Dr. Formnnova- Novakova has visited , none, so she slates, has (he home atmosphere, so much re-quired and so Utile attained , as has the Hershey Industrial School, and she places it foremost of its kind of any in the world. FOREIGN EMISSARY VISITS HERSHEY IND USTRIAL SCHOOL Big Scare at Department Store On Tuesday Tuesday, the tenth, will always be remembered by H. W. Geesey of the Hard-ware Department as one' of the most ex-citing in his varied career. It was the noon hour rush, and the department was busy filling the needsof itsmany customers. There was nothing unusual in the air to give warning that anything out of the ordinary was to take place. But this story, by good rights, belongs to Mr. Geesey, so we shall let him tell it: "Well, sir, I had just filled a coal oil can and was ringing up the sale when Shorty Hostetter nudged me, and motioned in the direction of the new electric washer we are demonstrating. There I saw two men, of tough appearance, apparently much in-terested in the workings of the washer. But they didn 't fool me. I could tell by their suspicious actions and their whispered consultation that they were up to some kind of dirty work, and my eye was quick enough to see that both of them had arms. 1 went on with my work as usual, but 1 sent David Buck out through the Drug Store to call Chief Lafferty. Just about the time I figured the dirty work was going to be pulled off , an officer of the law was on the job. I never saw two men more taken aback. The biggest one fled , but the other, a short chunky fellow in a brown overcoa t, stood his ground. "Come with me," said Lafferty, "and don 't open your mouth, or I'll crown you." "By this time the man in the brown overcoat had lost most of his tough ap-pearance, and he began to plead with the officer to let him go. "Here ," he said, "I ain 't done nothin ," and he handed Officer Six Sixt y Six a g<xxl cigar. Six Sixty Six examined the hand careful , saw the cigar was a Golden Lion , and filed it away in his pocket to be used as evidence. Then he took the man's name, which he gave as Hen Spangler , of Mount Pleasant, who wants to know. The name and address Six-Sixty-Six wrote in his note book. "By this time quite a crowd had gath-ered and some expressed the opinion that the stranger should be disarmed. To this the man objected on the ground that his occu pation was such that he must use both arms every day. He was then re-leased. "No trace has been found of his com-panion. It is not known what action will be taken on the case, but we presume Mr. Spangler will be arrainged in the spring at the first session of the Tennis Court." Mrs. Herman Luckcnbnugc, Iuisl 2nd street, Iliimmelstown, was hostess at a dinner parly on Feb. 4th. In keeping with the Valentine season favors were given in the form of small hearts in which were concealed the announcement of the engagement '"of Miss Huldah Romain Scliaeffcr , of Carlisle , formerly of this place, tl Lieutenant Allen Burt Elliott , of Water-loo, la. Miss Schaeffer nnd Mr. Elliott will be married In the near future and immediately after the wedding they will leave for Miami, Fin,, where they will spend some time before going to their new homo at Waterloo, la.

CLASS MEETS AT WELTMER HOME Gloria Swanson in "Manhan dled" on Saturda y Evening "Manhandled," Gloria Swanson's new Paramount picture, which comes to the Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday evening, Feb. 14th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, was produced by Allan Dwan from Frank Tuttle's adaptation of Arthur Stringer 's story that ran serially in The Saturday Evening Post. Miss Swanson has the role of a shop girl in a department store, whose desire for beautiful clothes and a so-called good time leads her into free and easy contact with so many men that her reputa-tion is tarnished. She learns that the love of good man is more precious than ex-pensive jewelry and gorgeous furs. In preparation for the part Gloria spent several strenuous days of closeup study of how shop girls in New York live. She worked for a day in one of New York's largest departments, rode in the subway, ate her meals in a boarding house and went through the general routine the average sliop girl follows during the day. Mr. Dwan has surrounded Miss Swan-son with an excellent cast for this picture. Tom Moore plays a mechanic, and others in support are Lilyan Tashman, Frank Morgan, Ian Keith , Paul McAllister , Frank Allworth , Carrie Scott , and Arthur Housman. Ann Pennington and Brooke Johns are also a part of the cast and furnish some very lively film entertainment. W. E. Tobias Tells About Spring Styles in Footwear W. E. 'I obias, manager of the Shoe Department of the Hershey Department Store, after returning from a few days' trip to Atlantic City, where he attended the convention and Spring Style Show, held by the Pennsylvania Shoe Retailers ' Association, states that the newest thing in ladies' f<x>twcnr for Spring, which was shown on the runway awl for which the demand was greatest , is the new Naco tan calf pump. Some of these styles are shown with small narrow st raps, other s in open work effect. Gore effects are also ixmular. The latest for Easter will be a two-tone effect pump in patent and grey. This will be very )x>pulnr and is the newest thing shown at the style shoe. Second to this is the ri ght tan and patent pump witli narrow strap effect. The blond satin and apricot satin pumps will rate the third in demand as shown at the show. The blond satin will he very IMipular alxml one month after Easier , and there will be quite a few while pumps worn tills season due to a change from former years as was shown on the runway. Duo to the ladi es skirts being worn shorter the coming season, the heels have chan ged considerable, Almost all heels will be slightly higher , (lit! new spike heel belng 'vcry |x>piilnr with 21 lli-K heel next in demand. Mr. Tobias was fortunat e is seeing one of I. Mill er Sons pumps shown on the runway, which retails at $108.00, The pump was of silver and gold cloth with a tint of black.

A cordial invitation Is extended to all to OYSTER SUPPER %>¦ mm f ^11 ^H^ IS ^ H ^11^ II ^ M^ H^i l*^IP ^llf I The Smokestack J \ &y 'Dee f ay Qee \ Every column, whether read by millions or by only a few hundred thousand, should strive to point a moral. The moral should be well concealed beneath a surface of pleasantry and so-called humor. Every tale should have a moral, and every kite should have a tail. Economy is the tail of the kite. Prosperity. If Prosperity be not attended by Economy, then Prosperity staggers and falls. That is why we feel it our duty to insert this little editorial, or what-you-may-call-it. When we have finished we hope you will never again take exception to the statement, "A penny saved is one (1) cent earned." You may have thought, previous to reading this what-you-may-call-it, that economy was invented by Cal. Coolidge ; but, as a matter of fact, economy has been practised from the beginnings of the race, tn the early days, we are told, men and women were very sparing in the use of water. They used very little, either for bathing or for drinking. But we need not stir the ashes of the dead to find examples of economy. In 1925, we have the woman who boasts of having used the same broom for seven-teen years. She says the broom is still as good as new. While we may not admire her housekeeping, we certainly must hand it to her lor being economical. Let us not forget Cyrus Higgins, who has worn the suspenders he was married in ever since that fatal day, fourteen years ago. Cyrus smokes' ten ten-cent cigars a day. Whenever his wife suggests a new piece of furniture it is his delight to men-tion the fact that he has not had a new pair of suspenders since he got hooked up. But the man who had economy down to a fine art was old Clint Smith. One day he, and his boy, Clint, Jr., brought the week's laying of eggs to the general store. As the clerk was counting them out, his girl came in the door, and in his excitement he let fall a hen fruit. "There goes three cents," said Clint, Sr., with a groan. "Look, papa," said Clint, Jr., "eggs is yaller on the inside, ain't they?" This last mentioned anecdote is gospel, as we were in the store at the time, and if the good guardian of the gate himself were to question me on the subject, I would raise my right hand, and my left, if he so insisted, and as he asked, "E)o you swear?" I would say, "occasiona lly." Now, if Cal. Coolidge gets the govern-ment economy proposition down as fine as Clint Smith, Sr., we will all rise, and in one voice acclaim him the champion long distance economizer of all time. Auto Fever The motor cars go speeding by, And how I wish that I was in 'em, It fills me full of envy green And makes me sort of sot agin 'em. I hate to see the neighbor's folks Ride out while I am home a-grubbin ', I'm jealous like and I've a mind To try and trade my old boss. Stub, in. If they will take old Stub in trade For a go-devil, 1 will swap him, And in the bargain I'll agree To show them how to start and stop him. In one of those flights of fancy where the mind outstrips the body, we walked the streets of Hershey, and in pensive mood, beheld the wonders of Nature and Art therein. We beheld the historic Spring Creek, the stately mansions, the huge chocolate factory ; and about this time it would seem, as. above suggested, our mind began to outstrip our physical powers, and we soared high in the air. We were propelled by one of those new-fangled airplanes which can be strapped on the back. We tacked and veered , careened and hovered above the town for sometime, and the view was much better than can be had from one of Yost's planes. But our joy was not to last for long. The motor coughed, and expired. We tugged frantically at the parachute, but the thing wouldn't open. We had what is sometimes described as a sinking feeling. We met our end in a rather ajj cctacular manner. As we came hurtling down through the sky, our collegiate trousers fil led with air and swelled out to immense proix>rtions. We were falling straight for one of the Hershey chimneys. Already we could feel ourselves cracking against the top, or worse fate yet, falling directly into it. Nearer and nearer and nearer. Then Stopl! It seemed our neck was broken, so quickly was our descent cut off. The aforementioned collegiate trousers had caught by the seat on one of the lightning rods which adorn the to]) of the smoke-stack. There we hung (or is it hanged), saved by a miracle and a pair of trousers, whil e the smoke curled calmly round. We saw below us a large electric sign which flashed on and off like the one at the Pilling, Station. We tried to make out what it spelled. We swung ourselves on our pivot to get a better look. The sign Dashed 011 again: "SMOKED HAMS" While Lincoln and 1 )ougl»s were engaged in their scries of debates on the slavery question , they spent , when not spcaldng, some friendly hours together. In a certain t own they met a man whom, because of his zig zag walking, th ey had difficulty to pass. "Well ," said Lincoln , "there goes a good Democrat. " "That 's no Democrat ," said Douglas, "I'll prove it. My g<xxl man, what is your politics?

Big Dance at
Men's Club
Frida y Evening
So successful was the first Mid-Winter
Dance that was held at the-Hershey Men's
Club several weeks ago, that, owing to the
popular demand, another one will be held
on Friday evening of this week.
The committee of arrangements have
spared no expense in which to surpass their
previous efforts, and as a result the orches-tra
furnishing the music on Friday evening,
will be a jim-dandy. The musicians will
be seven in number, and they are the cream
of Phil. Fisher's Peerless Orchestra. These
lads certainly can syncopate a joyful
medley that makes the most blase of
modern dancers keep a stepping whether
they are so inclined or not.
As last time, a crowded floor is antici-pated
, and the committee promises every-one
attending on Friday evening, a regular,
honest-to-goodness good time.
Join the crowd on Friday evening, and
by so doing help swell the treasury of the
Hershey baseball team. Admission, 50
cents.
There will be "eats."

Hershe y Boy Scout
Movement Shows
Splendid Gain
Scouting has made rapid strides in
Hershey during the. past few months. The
credit for the development in the work goes
to Alex. Magrini, who has given untirinl gy
of his time, ability and energy to further
the cause.
When Mr. Magrini took hold of this
work a little less than a year ago, organiz-ing
the Scout movement in Hershey, he
found little or no encouragement. Un-daunted,
he undertook the work, and the
movement finds Hershey with a Troop
second to none. Hershey is indeed
fortunate to have a Boy Scout Troop with
such a leader as Alex. Magrini. Hershey
can show its appreciation in many ways,
but lending a helping hand and a word of
encouragement is the best way.
Mr. Magrini did a good deed when he
organized a Boy Scout Troop. There is
room for other troops in the town, but?
there is a lack of scoutmasters—clean, self-reliant,
young leaders who can organize
and build up a troop. This is the biggest
handicap Scouting has everywhere, and
Hershey is no exception.
Tuesday was the fifteenth anniversary
of the founding of the Boy Scout move-ments
which was founded by Sir Robert
Baden-Powell, an English general, right
after the British-Boer War, in which he
served with distinction. The idea of
scouting was born through an interesting
circumstance. Recruits sent to General
Baden-Powell from England were found
utterly unable to take care of themselves
in the open. The General began their
training by a series of experiments that
later developed into the Boy Scout pro-gram.
He is today known as the Chief
Scou^x>f. the, World.
--The" scouts have grown to be a mighty
organization in the 15 years of their exist-ence
in this country. Today there are
21,922 troops, with a membership of
542,218 scouts, with 154,053 adult volun-teer
leaders. There are 2,000,000 men in
the United States who are former scouts,
and the program of the week had for its
working slogan, "Once a Scout, Always a
Scout," with the keynote of its purpose the
renewal of the scout associations of these
former members.
The following are among the major
objectives of the scout movement.
To promote, through organization, and
co-operation with other agencies, the
ability of boys to do things for themselves
and others, to train them in Scoutcraft,
and to teach them patriotism, courage,
self-reliance and kindred virtues, using the
methods which are now in common use by
Boy Scouts by placing emphasis on the
Scout Oath and Law for character-develop-ment,
citizenship-training and physical
fitness.
To reach with a high quality of leader-ship
the utmost number of boys.
To hold permanently in the membership
in some capacity, every boy who joins a
troop.
To persistently enroll new scouts and
find places for them in troops.
To secure steady advance by scouts
toward the rank of Eagle Scout.
To secure for every boy opportunities
for a large measure of educational and
recreational outdoor activity particularly
hikes, over-night camps, and participation
in standardized Boy Scout summer and
winter camps.
To have every scout properly uniformed
as a help to him and an aid in maintaining
public interests in him as a scout.
To maintain conditions so that boys
actually intensely desire to be scouts and
so that men are willing to give volunteer
service as scoutmasters, assistant scout-masters,
troop committee men and mem-bers
of local councils.
Last, but yet first, to promote the Daily
Good Turn and Troop Civic Service and
Community Betterment Good Turn,
Travelers Avenge
Former Defeat
On Wednesday evening, Feb. 4th , the
Hershey Travelers defeated the Berks
team, of Lebanon , by the score of 26 to
25, in the most s|j ectacular game seen on
the Men's Club floor this season. The
Berks boys started off with a rush , and
assumed a four point lead , which the
Travelers managed to cut to two by half
time. The beginning of the second half
was a repetition of the proceeding one.
With ten minutes left to play, the Trave-lers
called time out , and when play was
resumed they started to cut into the
Berks lead until the score was tied. From
then on until the last minute of play, f irst
one and then the other team would forge
into the lead. With one minute lef t ,
Berks was leadin g by one point, when
Fasnacht shot a sensational field goal,
annexing the game for the Travelers .
Almost immediately after the next tap-off ,
the whistle blew ending the game.
In picking out the stars of the game,
there was one who towered nlxive the
others, who played so hard that at the
finish of the game it wan necessary to carry
him off the (l |
