Hershey Harmony Broadcasters, and there
will be a singer to enliven things up: a bit.: A
large attendahce is very much desired by

of this dance jsvill be devoted to the
support of the Hershey Kindergarten.
/ The Third annual .Washington's Birth-day
dance of the local American Legion
Post, No.. 386, will be held on Thursday
evening, February 22nd, in the Hershey
Winter Dance Hall. The Banjc-Saxo
orchestra, of Harri^burg, will furnish the
music. Cakes, candy, ice cream and
cigars will be oh sale. There will also be a
"500" card party. This will be the gala
event of the season.
The next time we have another fall of
snow, kindly do not throw the snow around
the fire plugs. A number of people do this,
and they do it unthinkingly. If there
should be a fire, and your particular fire
plug would have to be used, valuable time
would be lost by the firemen who would
have to clean away the'snow. At the fire
in Palmyra last week the Lebanon Fire
Company lost fifteen minutes before they
were able to get.their hose coupled to the
plug. Don't let us Hersheyites let any-thing
like this come to pass. Besides,
there is a State penalty for doing this.
The Hershey Transit Company has been
on the job this Winter, as it always is, and
all cars have been running on schedule
time. The snow plow had to be brought
put several times, and it certainly makes a
dean sweep. The Hershey Transit Com-pany
is certainly well managed, and man-ned
by a lot of effiafct employees.
The Hershey Department Store will
discard the use of the familiar yellow and
black trucks. In fact, one of the new
ones, painted maroon with silver letters, is
now on the streets. It is a great improve-ment
over the other crude color scheme.
The new meat truck is now in service, and
there should be little occassion for patrons
to kick about the meats not being properly
displayed from now on—if they are, tell
the management—don't tell your neigh-bors.
Edwin Harkins motored to Lebanon on
Saturday evening in his Buick. It matters
not whether it rains or snows, the Buick
runs along serenely free from, care, like a
bird in the air, If you want to really
enjoy motoring, buy a Buick, says Brother
Harkins.
FOR SALE—Remington repeating rifle,
22-calibre, will shoot short, long and extra
long rifle cartridges. Rifle in first-class
condition. Price only $15.00. Apply,

Valentine Day will soon be here, and if
you want to show your sweetheart how
much you love her, the Hershey Depart-ment
Store will make it easy for you. Myrl
Harris, who knows just the kind of valen-tines
the sweeties like, has on display a
wonderful assortment—they are going like
hot cakes, too.

The Hershey Volunteer Fire Company
will hold their regular monthly meeting on
Tuesday, February 6th, at which time
plans will be laid for another fair, which
was decided upon at their last meeting. We
trust that the Fire Company will let this
matter lay. over until next Winter. The
people of Hershey have had enough Fair
for awhile, and if the firemen really decide
to hold it this Spring we can see a nice
failure staring them in the face, and in-stead
of cleaning up the Fire Company
will be cleaned up. We would suggest sit-ing
tight for awhile.

Miss Stanley to
Addres s Red Cross
The members and friends of the Hershey
Red Cross will have an opportunity to hear
Miss Anna Stanley, head of the State
department of school nursing, who will give
an interesting and profitable talk at the
monthly meeting of the Red Cross on
Monday afternoon, February 5th, at 2:30
o'clock, in the Red Cross rooms, second
floor of the Hershey Central Theatre.
The two classes of school girls in home
nursing, under the direction of Miss Eliza-beth
High, will give a demonstration of
some of their work. The mothers will be
very much interested in this demonstration
and a most cordial invitation is extended
to all of them to be present on Monday
afternoon.
The Red Cross is very desirious of having
a large attendance to greet Miss Stanley,
and every member is urged to do her part,
by being present, and if possible, ta bling
along a friend.
The Red Cross is still sewing on Wednes-day
afternoon in the school house. There
is an average of ten and twelve ladies
present on these afternoons, and there is
always room for one more. If it is not
feasable for some of the members to attend
on .Wednesday afternoons, possibly these
members might want to sew at home. The
Red Cross has a few garments to make
before they can ship their box to the
Smyrna children.
H. 0. A. Class to
Present Play
The members of the H. O. A. Class of
the Trinity Lutheran Sunday School will
present a musical entertainment, entitled
"The Minister's Wife's New Bonnet,"
under the direction of Mrs. Jno. F. Snavely
at the Hershey Central Theatre on Mon-day
evening, February 12th.
. We have all heard our grandmothers
speak of the old-fashioned little church of
her day, and how hard they worked to
keep up the church, and the minister and
his wife worked hard too arid received little
in return for his service.
As we picture that little town on the hill-side
with its little church and old fashioned
people. We see the sewing-circle gather-ing
for their weekly meeting in the church
parlor and so we take a peep into the room,
we see "Agatha," the village gossip;
"Eephe Hardahear," who is deaf; "Cay-enne
Pepper," who stutters; "Penelope
Perkins", who is so precise; "Nodanna
Simplins", who is always asleep. The
president of the sewlng-clrcle, "Samantha
Slick" and Rev. Grundy" and "Hepsibah",
his wife, form the center of this interesting
circle.
Later on the improvement committee
comes in and we have "Knoxit", who is a
man of middle-age with a good voice and
a big heart* "Billy Butcher" and "Hugh
Howler", the country sport; "Vivian
Walker", the city milliner. Then wp have
Prof, Highvolce, leader of the choir who is

Holler have the leading roles, and you will
find them very capably enacted.
Oscar Laucks and Miss Ruth Ebersole
have the comedy roles, and you will enjoy
their work immensely. Laucks, as Josiah

show in himself. Miss Ebersole, as Mrs.
Poplin, a widow, with a pension and
"symptons", will also tickle your funny
rib. *«?¦ -<*"» •

Laucks have the character roles, while

young ladies, as follows: Grace Hoerner,

' '"
Hershe y Defeats
Millersville
There is an old saying The bigger they
are the harder they fall", which applied to
the Millersville game on Friday evening
when the Olivets played ring around the
rosies with the leaders of the Professional
League, trimming them to the tune of 40 to
27.
When the Millersville team walked on
the floor, six strapping big fellows, it
looked as though they would run away
with the Olivets. But the Davids put a
good pebble in their sling and laid the
Goliaths low.
It was a game that kept the rooters on
their toes from start to finish , it was full of
thrills, lightning plays and real team work.
At times the Millersville were dazed at the
splendid passing of the ball by the Olivets,
and they were at loss how to break it up.
It is rather a difficult matter to pick out
any individual member of the Olivets who
was the star of the evening—as we saw it,
they were all stars. Every member of the
team played to win, and they won because
they excelled the Millersville team in every
phase of the game.
We want to say a kind word for Dissin-ger,
who referred the game. He is fair and
square all the way through—he sees every
play from a referee's viewpoint, and he acts
accordingly.
The summary:
Olivets Millersville

Field goals—Strine, 1; Clark, 1; Leit-hiser,

Olivets To Play
Marietta Friday
The Hershey Olivets will play the strong
Marietta team on Friday evening, Feb. 2nd
at the Hershey Men's Club.
Marietta has one of the strongest teams
in Lancaster county, and they have not
been defeated this year. The Olivets lost
to this team earlier In the season, and they
are out to avenge this defeat.
The lineup for Marietta will consist of
Garvey, formerly with St, Joe, of Lancas-ter;
Walters, one of the fastest basketball
players In Lancaster; Erb, who will jump
center, formerly with Lancaster All-Stars;
Shank, star of Ellzabethtowh, and Hoover,
an old F. & M. College man.
This will be another good game, and we
are quite sure that the fans will got a run
for their money. Let's see a big crowd
out on Friday evening to Witness this game.
Referee Dissinger will be on the Job to
keen order.

French Novel Big
Hit onscreen
« The distinctly French atmosphere, the
rare descriptive phrases, the tense drama-tic
sequence and the many typical chara-ters
of George Ohhet's celebrated novel,
"Dr. Rameau," are aptly visualized in the
William Fox special production, "My
Friend of the Devil," the big feature at the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, February 3rd, at7:45o'clock.
Although the famous French author
probably never dreamed his favorite story
would some day be shown to millions
throughout the world through the medium
of the motion picture, it contains such a
wealth of screen material that one watch-ing
it unfolds its story on the silver sheet
would almost believe it was written espec-ially
for this type of entertainment.
The manner in which William Fox has
followed the original story, the way in
which it 'brings out the bits of philosophy
so characteristic of the works of Ohnet, the
many tense dramatic situations, which
easily could have been overdone with less
capable talent and the manner in which it
builds up to a crashing climax through a
serie; of dramatic sequences proves beyond
doubt the value of this kind of literature
for screen purposes.
The story deals with the atheistic beliefs
of a man, whose faith in God was crushed
when, while he was still in his teens, his
mother was struck by lightning while he
was praying that his cruel step-father be
taken.
This man became a great surgeon and he
professed faith in only one thing—the
power of science. Although an atheist he
devoted his entire career to the aid of
humanity, always lending a helping hand
to someone less fortunate than himself.
He saves the life of a young artist and
gives him an opportunity to continue his
career, only to learn many years later that
his wife, whom he loved above all else, had
become a victim of a clandestine love affair
with the artist.
How, despite the many things that came
up during his life to further kill his faith,
he finally is forced to acknowledge the
Divine power, provides th a theme for one
of the most dramatic climaxes ever shown
upon the screen.
Charles Richman is seen in the role of
the unbelieving doctor. Others in the cast
include: Peggy Shaw, Barbara Castleton
and William Tooker.
See ' Top of New
York " Tuesday
There s a bit of everything for everybody
in "The Top of New York," the May
McAvoy Paramount feature which will be
shoWn at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Tuesday evening, February 6th, at 7:30
o'clock.
There is wonderful "kid" appeal in the
huge toy shop with its thousands of toys
and the appearance of May McAvoy as an
animated doll, to the delight of the Xmas
shoppers.
There are thrills in the scenes where the
heroine is saved from committing suicide—
and a rousing fight between Edward Cecil
and Walter McGrail.
There is comedy relief by the Irish
characters impersonated by Carrie Clark
Ward and Arthur Hoyt.
There's real pathos and drama revolving
about the Christmas rush in the toy depart-ment
and the home experiences of the little
sales girl who makes such a plucky fight
for the happiness of her crippled brother.
"The Top of New York" is an entertain-ing
story which splendidly fits the winning
human appeal of May McAvoy whom
playgoers remember for her gripping work
as "Grizel" in "Sentimental Tommy."
The star does a convincing bit of work and
she is supported by an excellent cast in-cluding
Walter McGrail, Madame Mar-stini,
Charles Bennet, Edward Cecil, Pat
Moore, Carrie Clark Ward, Arthur Hoyt
and Mary Jane Irving.
Credit for the excellent direction belongs
to the late William D. Taylor whose final
production it is. This is the second picture
starring Miss McAvoy which Mr. Taylor
directed, the first being "Morals," which
made an instantaneous success.
Presb yterians

In and Around I
Lebanon Valley
Buildings in the vicinity of the State
Printery in the Cameron street section
have been denounced as fire-traps and a
municipal investigation has been ordered.
There are a number of industries in that
part of the city, whichis developing rapidly
into a factory section. , .
The Medical Society of the.State of
Pennsylvania has bought a large residence
on State street, within a short distance of
the State Capitol, as its headquarters. It
is the first organization of State profes-sional
men to make such an investment
here.
The Pennsylvania State Chamber of
Commerce is arranging to build on the
property it recently bought on Third
street fronting Capitol Park, which will be
one of the first , structures devoted to a
State-wide organization to be erected in
that neighborhood.
Students of the Harrisburg Academy are
arranging a series of tours which will take
them through industrial establishments of
the city and vicinity during the late winter
and spring. They will go through the
Pennsylvania and Reading yards in one of
their trips.
So much damage has been done by gases
from locomotives to the structure of the
Mulberry Street Bridge that the concrete
has been eaten away and the steel work
exposed. The city will let a contract to a
firm handling cement guns to make repairs.
The work will cost thousands of dollars.
Calder Post of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars has named committees to arrange for
the meeting of the national camp in Harris-burg
on June 14 to 16. National officers
are expected to attend National Guards-men
and Boy Scouts will be invited to
participate in the parade.
Twenty applicants have registered for
the examinations for places on Harrisburg's
police force. This is the largest class to
take the examinations in years.
Dauphin county poor directors have
determined to make no reduction in the
number of physicians employed for out-door
relief or the care of indigent at their
homes. The same staff as in 1922 has been
engaged, so far as numbers go.
A. B. Parker, the new general superin-tendent
of the Pennsylvania Railraod,
began his tenure of office with a general
inspection of the station and yard facilities
at Harrisburg. Enlargements of the
Enola yards are under way and will
materially increase the size of the classifi-cation
sections by the middle of summer.
Hundreds of dollars worth of wheat
could not be salvaged when nine cars of
grain were wrecked near Halifax and the
contents fell into the old canal bed. The
cars were on a fast freight train and the
track was torn up for 100 yards. The ^rain
caused flocks of crows and other birds to
gather and farmers secured some of the
damaged grain for feeding chickens.
Dauphin County is starting the new
year with a larger balance than it has had
for a long time and with its debt cut down
materially. The balance on hand is shown
by County Controller Henry W. Gough to
be $422,841.17, as against $317,399.47 a
year ago. It is planned to make a bond
issue of $300,000 or so, for bridge construc-tion
and to engage extensively in road im-provement
during the year.
Autoists have started a controversy over
methods of running machines in Market
square at Harrisburg and vigorous protests
have been made to Mayor George A. Hov-erter
against the re-establishment of last
year's system of running cars around the
square, instead of through the centre, or
where Market street bisects it. During
construction of the comfort station at the
north side of the square cars passed thru
Market street. This move proved so pop-ular
that a petition for its continuance has
been submitted. The Mayor ordered the
old system restored. Motor organizations
have protested.
Elmer W. Ehler and R. Sherman Care,
two Dauphin county lawyers, will leave to-morrow
for a tour around the world. They
will be gone several months'. J. L. Shearer
and George S. McGowan also of Dauphin
are touring the West Indies.
Estates adjudicated in Lancaster county
during the past year totaled $7,663,688,82.
An idea of the wealth of the county may be
gained by the average amount of each
estate distributed, which is given as $14.-
514.56. Compared to other counties this
average ranks high, and last year was even
larger than this.
Residents of the Riverside district and
the city authorities of Harrisburg are
having a hard time to agree on sidewalk
regulations for Front street, one of the
most traveled highways in the city. Years
ago a building line was laid out, and it was
followed out,, but when traffic began' to
increase it was found the original measure-ments
would not suffice and new lines were
suggested, Property owners have objected
and the matter may go to the courts.
Ice has gorged along the) Susquehanna
River, several miles west of Marietta, and
has caused a higher rise in the water than
