To Hold Big Meeting
Friday, Dec. 12

flower fund , the meeting adjourned.
Revival Meetings At
U. B. Church
Draw Big Crowds
¦ The revival meetings in progress in the
United Brethren Church are very interest-ing
and helpful.
Rev. and Mrs. C. S. Thompson are
splendid Gospel singers. Mr. Thompson
has charge of a large choir. He is a master
in leading. He makes every body sing by
his sweet, fascinating style. Mrs. Thomp-son
accompanies him on the harp, which
she artistically plays, also using the harp
for their duet work. Mrs. Thompson also
presides at the piano. The Thompsons
have just closed a successful campaign of
four weeks in the Penbrook U. B. Church,
where the crowds filled that large new
church nightly. They are just about to
arrange snother engagement at a Metho-dist
Church in Harrisburg later in the
season.
Those who appreciate good gospel sing-ing
should not fail to hear these sweet
spirited singers. They will be here every
evening except Saturday, for a few weeks.
On Wednesday night the Penbrook folks
turned out in great numbers to give the
Hershey people a much appreciated visit.
Hershey s On The
Silver Sheet
With the passing of the Army-Navy
game recently at Baltimore it is quite
interesting to note the keen competition
between these two branches of the service
in other things outside of the realm of
sport. Recently Hersheyites have read in
these columns of the Navy's pride Shenan-doah
being supplied with "Hershey's",
now comes Richard Barthelmess in "Class-mates"
which is a story of cadet life at
West Point , the representative school of
our Army. "Dick" when entering West
Point is relieved of the contents of his
pockets and as he throws a package into a
large basket a package of "Hershey's"
Croquettes can be plainly seen in this
basket. This is probably the only recog-nizable
thing in the miscellaneous collec-tion
brought with this allotment of cadets
who are just entering West Point.
"Classmates" is an "Inspiration Pic-ture"
and is a superb production , just as
"Hershey's Chocolates ' have proven by
their popularity to be superb products.
Pupils Take Census
Of Derry Township
The pupils of the eighth grade of the
Derry Township Schools have taken as one
of their projects in Community Civics the
taking of a complete census of the popula-tlon
of Den y Township. After the pro-ject
is completed it will make available an
alphabetical list of the names of all of the
people of the township from the youngest
to the oldest member of every family.
Such a list ought to be quite valuable to
the SCIHXJIB ;w well as for other purposes as
there is no up to date list available at this
time.
The pupils will work in pairs of two and
will visit every home. II is ho|>cd that
the people will co-operate cheerfully with
the schools in this work and will he kind
enough to help the pupils obtain such data
as .they have been instructed to obtain
which will consist of course of all of the
names of the members of the household
and the date of birth of all of the children
up to sixteen years of age. This work is
being conducted under the direction of
Miss LnRue E, Cress.
Sale of Christmas
Seal Stamps
This la the week for the annual sale of the
Christmas Seal Slumps. The pupils oft he
fifth , sixth mid seventh grades are busily
engaged delivering stamps to their patrons
unci friends. The money realized from
the Hale of Chrlsliwis Seals IS used lo sup-ply
suitable clothing and railroad fare for
adults and children sent to the Stale
Sanatoria unable to finance this expenses;
to organize Modern I Icitlth Crusade In the
schools: and to employ a nurse who devotes
her entire time to health work t hroughout
the county,
A year ago the wile of the Christmas
Soul Slumps In Deny Township amounted
to ID, 107. While this seems a consider-able
number, nevertheless, this was an
average of only four and one-half stamps
per capita for our district. We ought to
make an effort lo raise this very low
average for the present year. Any one
desiring to purchase stumps can.secure

Former High School
Principal Has
Faith In Flapper
The flapper , that strange captivating
individual who for months has been stoical-ly
meeting ridicule and veiled threats of
extinction from the ranks of reactionaries
has found a defender. A defender who
does not believe that she is too far morally
gone to be saved; a champion who sees in
her the essence of youth, and a girl that is
not the inferior, morally, of her sister of
twenty years ago, says' the Lancaster New
Era. ¦
This man is Stacy E. Peters, principal of
the Stevens High School for girls, of Lan-caster,
and principal of the Hershey
Schools for a number of years. It was to
him who daily comes in contact with the
representative youthful flapper, the in-quisitive
one turned in the quest for infor-mation
about the girl of today.
Prof. Peters, apparently, has implicit
faith in the modern girl. Particularly is
he convinced that her morals have not
retrogressed. Close observation has given
him the data from which he has formed
this conclusion.
- As an illustration that the school girl,
the young flapper , is honest and sincere he
told the following story of a conversation
he recently had with a young girl.
"I asked her if she smoked," he said.
She replied that she did. "Do you like
it?" I asked her, and she said that she was
not particularly attached to cigarettes, but
that she smoked because she thought it
was smart. But she told me she wouldn't
"smoke before boys," because she was sure
they "wouldn't like it."
"Now would a girl do that, talk like that,
if she weren't honest? he asked.
The cigarettes of today are not unlike
the cigar when mother was a girl, according
to Prof. Peters, who declared that twenty
years ago, when stogies were all the rage,
he knew young women to sneak them into
a quiet place and indulge in a smoke.
"But", he says, "they wouldn't admit they
had smoked a cigar , even though their
mothers were smoking pipes."
The school, first last and all the time, is
the medium through which education is
dispensed but the schools through science,
have been aided tremendously by the
advent of the radio, the newspaper and
photography, according to the High School
principal. Not only are these inventions
bettering the intellectual status of the boy
and girl of the school age, but their benefits
are being reaped by brother and sister and
mother and father, he said. As a result of
all this, the average boy or girl of fourteen
years knows more than the boy or girl of
the same age twenty years ago, he declared.
Also, compulsory education has entered
into this state of affairs. Before the enact-ment
of the compulsory education law,
children did not have to attend school.
They would quit when they wanted to, or
when they were most needed at home.
The girls that went to high school in those
days were after education and those who
weren't interested stayed at home. <¦
Laws, however, according to Prof.
Peters, have succeeded in changing the
situation. Now all must go until they
reach a certain age, and until they attain
the measured number of years, they attend
classes and are bound to learn something,
although all might not study diligently.
The man at the head of Lancaster's
High School for girls is ever awake to
suggestions which, if applied, will better
fit the school girl for her place in life. One
of the educational departments nearest his
heart is the Home Economics, or home
arts course, or what ever you chose to call
it. Principal Peters is so vitally interested
in the home arts course because he can
find nothing more beneficial to the Ameri-can
girl than a complete course embracing
such subjects, he says.
A large percentage of American women
are married before they are 25 years old ,
and in thousands and thousands of cases
they are thrust into a home with no train-ing.
Such a situation is akin to a calamity,
he declares.
The Destruction Of
Christmas Trees
In the interest of forest conservation,
President Coolidge thinks it would be a
gcxxl thing to abandon the Christmas t ree
slaughter. Everybody agrees that the
slaughter should cease. Nothing pains
the heart of a conservationist so much as
one-time beautiful evergreens, decapitated
by ruthless an wieldcrs, says the "Harris-burg
Patriot."
'1 here are others who will agree with the
President that the tree itself should be left
standing in the forest instead of in the
living room or the parlor.
Perhaps a compromise can be reached.
I low would it be to bar the Christmas tree
from all childless homes and permit them
only in households with boys and girls up
to twelve years of age? That was once the
custom. Only in comparatively recent
years have all homes admitted the Christ-mas
tree. As a consequence, the destruc-tion
of these greens has reached amazing
and dangerous proportion)!, calling for
some such suggestions as the President has
made.
But it will require a lot of mental and
moral exertion to give assent to the idea
that the kiddles to whom the Christmas
tree is the symbol of all that is g<x>d and
worthwhile in life should be denied the
gaily trimmed and illuminated monument
of the merriment of a Santa Claus world.

Holiday Classic Won
By Cedar Rapids
Over Tech Team
Tech lost its second annual battle on
Thanksgiving Day on the Island to Cedar
Rapids, 19 to 0, but if ever a team was
great in defeat it was the stalwart Tech
eleven.
Matched against a team that appears
headed for the throne room of national
scholastic champions, the rejuvenated
Tech eleven fought a furious battle that
would have spelled victory over any com-bination
less capable.
Cedar Rapids was checked at every turn
throughout the first quarter, but the
Tigers, with dreams of their national title
dissolving, swung into high gear and
compiled three touchdowns in the remain-ing
quarters, two coming after concerted
advances and the third on the blocked
punt.
The eleven brought to Harrisburg by
Coach Leo Novak lacked the individual
brilliance of the team that defeated Tech
last year, but it was a coherent combina-tion
with a brilliant offensive that achieved
its plays with a machine-like precision.
And although Novak sent substitute
after substitute into action, the fresh
material did not hinder the performance
nor interfere with the team work.
Elmer Marek, now at Ohio State and
who gave local devotees the greatest ex-hibition
of open field work they have ever
seen in a schoolboy game, is gone, but
Coach Novak during the game introduced
several performers capable of replacing his
departed wonder.
Hahn, with a high stride and stiff arm
that threatened to spill heads around the
field , came out of the engagement wearing
the greatest honors on his perspired brow,
while Stamats was another wonder per-former.
Zvacek, a versatile player and
who punted with either foot, depending
upon conditions, was a spear head on the
offense, while his ferocious tackling checked
many Tech assaults.
Upwards of 10,000 persons were massed
in the Island field, about 500 of these
coming from Hershey, where Novak and
his charges have prepared for both games
played here. The loyal Hershey sup-porters
came with the Palmyra band.
which they hired, and undoubtedly aided
the Tigers with their constant cheering. A
touch from the middle West was blended
into this eastern gridiron classic when the
Palmyra musicians marched across the
field playing "We're From Iowa" rolling
from their shining instruments.
Although the victory gf the Tigers was
decisive, a summary of the game proves
the power of the array opposing them. Ten
first downs were compiled by the local
eleven, only one less than was credited to
the Tigers. In line plunging Tech enjoyed
a slight advantage, five of their first downs
being earned by concerted attacks on the
middle. The Tech forwards yielded four
first downs.
Tech, desperate over the closing minutes,
unloosed an aerial attack in an effort to
score. Thirteen forwards were tossed by
the Maroon, the majorit y of these coming
in the last period , when Tech tried the air
irrespective of the down. But the vigilant
secondary defense of the Tigers repulsed
the aerial attack, only four being com-pleted
, with five dropping to the ground
and four being intercepted. The Tigers
went into the air on only four occasions,
complete in one of these efforts and having
one intercepted , while two were batted to
the ground by the Tech backs.
With both teams displaying a stubborn
defensive game except at intervals, punt-ing
played a big role. Buser, who went in
for Graham shortly after the game opened,
booted on even terms with Zvacek and
Hitchcock, the average for each team
being forty-five yards. The kickers were
getting plenty of altitude and the returns
were at a minimum as the ends were often
awaiting the safety man.
Although the action throughout was in-tense,
the game was the cleanest played in
Harrisburg this season, with the total
penalties being fifteen yards. Tech suff-ered
ten yards on two offside offenses,
while Cedar Rapids was detected offside on
only one occasion and paid five yards for
this.
After the game the Misses Goldie Ha-becker,
Dorothy Hyland , Alma Drescher,
Miriam Snavely, Ellen Leithiser and Lois
Gilman, holding the Cedar Rapids banner,
followed by the Palmyra band, which
played the stirring "March of Plenty, " the
Iowa State air , playing it with right good
will , followed by Wm. Leithiser, Wm.
Hyland, Geo. Lafferty, Chance Phillips
and Win. Curtis, and several hundred
rooters, paraded the streets of Ilarrisburg,
making much noise by their hilariousness.
It has been announced by E. E. Knauss,
the faculty director of athletics at Tech,
that Tech would not meet the Cedar
Rapids aggregation next Fall in an Inter-sectiona
l football game. The reasons for
the action on this matter , according to Mr.
Knauss are fourfold.
Coe College is located at Cedar Rapids
and the Washington High School officials
cannot arrange their schedules until Coe
has completed hers so tha t the high school
officials may know what dates will be o|)on
for games at Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids has no eligibility rules to
compare with those of the P. I. A. A. and
the local officials believe that this presents
too serious a handica p for Tech teams,
Cedar Rapids insists upon the best
officials in the East and West for thittgnme
and this entails so grea t an expense that
the local authorities feel that it Is an un-warranted
ex|)eiiditiire .
In the fourth place' the local athletic
officialsbelieve that Cedar Rapids is out of
Tech 's class.

Vivid, Thrilling
Depiction Based
On Father Love
For You My Boy," the special feature
attraction at the Hershey Central Theatre
on Thursday evening, Dec. 4th, is an
unusual and different picture from the
average offerings that are seen upon the
screen. It deals with that little depicted
subject, fatherlove.
"For You My Boy," is vivid, thrilling
entertainment from start to finish and
from the time-the first picture appears upon
the screen until the final fadeout the action
is tense and dramatic to say the least.
The picture was written, directed and
produced by William L. Roubert, who has
to his credit several well known successes,
including the popular picture based on
Willard Mack s story, "Heritage. " It is a
picture of emotional realism, the kind of a
picture that sends you out of the theatre
talking about the chain of events that have
been unfolded on the screen before you.
Few people ever realize that the emo-tional
reactions of a father are just as
strong and vivid as those of a mother, that
the tie that binds a mother to her boy is no
whit stronger than the bond of sympathy
between father and son. The only diff-erence
is that the father represses and con-ceals
his emotions and does not let them
come to the surface. But he feels them
just as tensely and his degree of suffering
in case of trouble-or misfortune to his boy
is just as keen.
So with a strong dramatic theme for the
basis of his story, Mr. Roubert has fabri-cated
a picture that not only holds the
interest from an entertainment standpoint
but gives a place in the hall of dramatic
expression to the long suffering father,
who in too many cases is merely looked
upon as a machine to work and pay the
bills.
The picture has been beautifully
mounted and is exceptionally well
photographed. It has been produced with
an all star cast including such well known
people as Matty Roubert, Louis Dean, B.
H. Lewin, Jean Armour, Gladys Grainger,
Schuyler White, Scott Hinchner and
Franklin Hannah.

First Men s Meeting
Addressed By
Splendid Speaker
Rev. W. S. Dunlop, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, of Harrisburg, was the
speaker at the men's mass meeting that
was held in the Hershey Central Theatre
on Sunday afternoon . There were about
one hundred men present and about the
same number of young men from the
Hershey Industrial School.
Rev. Dunlop likened the first of these
men's meetings to that of the pioneers who
blazed the way to and beyond the frontiers,
laying much stress upon the great need of
meetings such as these, particularly at this
time, when we have seemed to have
wandered from the faith of our fathers, and
he hoped that the meetings would be
continued knowing that they would be the
means of doing great good and adding
much to the spiritual needs of the Nation.
The speaker told of the great need of
men to take up the work of the Christ, for
there was much to do, emphasizing that
the world was crying aloud for men of
character, of virile manhood, to help bring
about the reclaiming of Man's salvation.
He compared in a most forceful manner
of the fleeting pleasures that the world has
to offer, which brought nothing but grief
and despair, _to the lasting and great
happiness of those'who worked in the
Master's Vineyard.
Rev. Dunlop is an eloquent and in-spiring
speaker, holding the attention of
his hearers to the very last. Those who
heard him on Sunday afternoon, received
much that was good and helpful.
Rev. Paul M. Kinports, pastor of the
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, offered the
opening prayer ; Rev. A. G. Nye, pastor of
the First United Brethren Church, read
the scriptures; and Rev. R. H. Taylor,
pastor of Old Derry Presbyterian Church,
pronounced the benediction.
Special musi|c on 'he piano and violin
was rendered by Ml j ind Mrs. Myrl Smith.
The young men from the Hershey Indus-trial
School, accompanied by Earl Stable,
sang two selections in a splendid manner,
showing excellent training.
Rev. James B. McClure, who is very
much back of these meetings, in fact , we
might call him the promoter, led the sing-ing,
and he did so in a most spirited and
joyous manner, almost like Ira Sankey,
and the Hershey Central Theatre resound-ed
as it had not resounded for many a day.
Rev. McClure told how pleased he was
at the splendid success of the first meeting,
and he stated that it was now up to the
men of Hershey and vicinity whether or
not these meetings were to be continued.
The first meeting has been held, a goodly
number of men were present, and the col-lection
was such that all expenses were paid
and a sufficient amount left over to enable
Treasurer Ivan Mease to open up another
bank account.
It seems to us that it is now up to Rev.
McClure to secure a speaker and hold the
second meeting, and by the attendance will
he be left known whether or not the meet-ings
are really wanted.
Dr. J. Webster Bailey
Dr. J. Webster Bailey^ a formeivpastor
of the First Congregational Church of
Ottawa, 111., who died on Friday, Nov.
24th , at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Everitt A. Sherwood, of Oak Park, 111.,
had been in poor health since the spring of
1923, when he suffered a serious attack of
pheumonia while residing in Hershey.
Few clergymen ever assigned to churches
in Ottawa attained a greater degree of
popularity among persons of all creeds and
all walks of life than did Dr. Bailey, says
the Republican Times, of Ottawa. Hold-ing
to the view that if people would rather
go to the theatre than to church , the best
way to get them to think along religious
lines was to hold services in the threatre,
Dr. Bailey conducted Sunday afternoon
meetings at the Gayety theatre. The plan
met with instant success, and at most of
the services, which were known as
"people's meetings," standing room was at
a premium.
Dr. Bailey was an able preacher— a man
who had the ability to present his message
in a way that crept deep .into the con-sciousness
of those who heard him.
He remained in Ottawa as pastor of the
Congregational church for seven years,
leaving this city in 1913. Subsequently
he had a pastorage in I^ockixirt , and
during the war was engaged in Y. M. C. A.
work among the soldiers. He also was
chaplain on passenger boats which plied
the Hudson river. In recent years he had
been engaged in evangelistic work for the
Presbyteria n church.
Surviving he leaves his widow, two
daughters, Mrs. Ruth Sherwood, of Oak
Park and Mrs. Vance (Irene! Nelson, of
Chicago, and a son Hugh , of Chicago.

Tabert Case Is
Basis For New
Legion Picture
—* * Based upon the sensational Tabert case,
the facts of which were recited at great
length in the daily press, "The Whipping
Boss," heralded as "the most unusual
photoplay ever produced," is arousing
public opinion throughout the United
States against barbarous penal systems.
"The Whipping Boss" will be exhibited
for the first time in Hershey-at Central
Theatre, Friday and Saturday, December
12th and 13th. It will be presented by
Hershey Post of The American Legion.
Although based upon a harsh theme, the
producer of the film has made an ac-ceptable
audience picture. The film is
crowded with action and is tense but not
harassing. To relieve the story's tense-ness
somewhat, a love theme has been
woven into the scenario. The cast is
headed by such stars as Lloyd Hughes,
Barbara Bedford , Eddie Phillips and
Lydia Knott.
It will be recalled that the American
Legion played an important part in the
investigation into Tabert's death. The
Legion Post at Langdon, N. D., co-operat-ing
with the Commercial Club of that city,
collected funds for the investigation and
prosecution.
Martin Tabert was the son of a rancher
residing near Langdon. Like many other
boys, young Tabert heard the call of the
open road and made his way South. On
his way northward again he was arrested
for stealingfa ride on a freight train. With-in
a few hours he had been convicted of
vagrancy and fined $25.00 with the
alternative of ninety days in prison. In-deed,
young Tabert had gone into a lumber
camp where prisoners slaved under a
whipping boss. For two months the boy
worked on, although his mother had for-warded
$25.00 to the sheriff so that her son
might be released.
One day when his feet were covered with
sores he asked the whipping boss for larger
shoes. The next instant the whipping
boss was upon him. Testimony of eye
witnesses placed the number of lashes
between forty and one hundred.
Three days later Martin Tabert died.
Forty-seven days after The American
Legion and other organizations began
investigation, the. convict leasing system
was abolished in Florida. The lash was
forbidden by law; the sheriff was arrested ,
and the judge who sentenced Tabert was
ousted. The climax of the investigation
was the convicting of the whipping boss,
who was found guilty of manslaughter,
and sentenced to serve twenty years in
prison.
Cedar Rapids Juniors
Play Last Game Friday
The Cedar Rapids Juniors will play the
last football game of the season on Friday
at 3.00 o'clock, when they will play the
strong Hummelstown team.
The Cedar Rapids Juniors have won ten
straight games, losing but one game to the
Palmyra Juniors. A great deal of credit
to this big string of victories is due to
Schaeffer , Purcell and Robertson, all of
whom are stars.
The Cedar Rapids Juniors is without a
doubt the best team in their class that
Hershey ever had. All of these players
will go to the Hershey High School next
season, which will mean that next season's
team will be a flashy one.
The Cedar Rapids Juniors pride them-selves
upon their creditable record , espec-ially
as they had no Novak to coach them
and are particularly elated over their
victories, feeling that they have not dis-graced
the team for which they are named
after , and which all of them consider the
greatest team in all the world.
Schaeffer , the full back, has one great
ambition, which is, to move to Cedar
Rapids, so that he might join the Novak's
stars.

International Golden
Rule Sunday For
Near East Orphans
Sunday, Dec. 7th , is observed as Inter-national
Golden Rule Sunday for the
strengthening of international friendship
and co-operation and the practical appli-cation
of the principles of the Golden Rule
to at least some of the world's problems.
That the care of orphaned children of
the Near East be considered an inter-national
obligation, resulting from the late
World War in which nearly all nations
participated , and it has been urged that
there be international participation in the
support of these orphans through the
international observance of Golden Rule
Sunday or such other means as may appeal
to the people of various countries.
In 1923 Golden Rule Sunday was cele-brated
in fourteen countries by the might-iest
and the humblest folk—from kings,
presidents, and prime ministers to deaf-mute
children in an American School and
poor mission fields in Japan, Korea, China
and India.
All that is asked of people on December
7 is to imagine themselves for one day, nay,
even for one meal, in place of one of those
little orphan children in the Near East ,
and live with them, share with them the
privations of life which a cruel world has
imposed upon them. You are asked to
eat, on a Sunday between Thanksgiving
and Christmas,—between fasting and
luxury and good times just gone and
feasting and luxury and good times to
come—, the plain dish of rice pilva , cocoa
and bread , and send the difference between
the cost of your regular Sunday meal and
this seventeen-cent one to the Near East
Relief. If you eat such a meal once, or
for one day, it will mean that the children
of the Near East Relief will be able to eat
this meal every day of the year.
Is this an altogether cruel world? Alto-gether
so cold that little children starve
and freeze outside the gates of our beauti-ful
homes and prosperous lands? Side by
side with a world of cruelty which has
destroyed the homes of little children,
killed their parents, devastated their
homelands, is there also a world of love, of
mercy, of generosity to save what the
other half of the world has tried to de-stroy?
