WhaiVWhajt and Who's Who Last Christmas Mr. and" Mrsi" P. W." Pugh received an unusual gift from Santa. Glaus. - It was a large tropical or sub-trop-ical American brilliantly colored arine par-rot:' It had a long hooked bill, and a very long wedge-shaped tail. From that time on it was hot necessary to have a Big. Ben in the Pugh household. Instead of being awakened by the tingleof Big Ben's greet-ing, or the melodious strains of a pipe organ as was Andrew Carriegiej the stentorian squawk: orthe Macaw^did the trick. So persistently did Santa Claus' gift keep on the job that one fine day the Macaw was found in the flershey Department Store, where he was quite the rage fpr about one week. Later on we found the Macaw housed in the'Hershey Zoo. where his shrill notes melded in with the cooing of the dove, the yelping of the hyena, the mooing of the Zebu, and the neighing of the Shet-land ponies. George: Kreider, who is the attendant at the Zoo, took a fond liking to the Macaw, and in his spare moments he taught the Italian nightingale (as he some-times called the Macaw) a few phrases—in English and Pennsylvania Dutch, such as "Shut Up," "Polly Wants a Cracker", "Polly Don't Want a Cracker", and "Who Do You Think You Are, Valentino"? So accomplished has the Macaw become that possibly the Zoo visitors will find him among the missing some day and, perhaps, he will be sitting on a nice little perch, on the Pugh lawn and will greet you with a "Well, here I am again—you can't keep a good fellow down". Roy Sternberger told Oscar Bordner and John Walters, the two most noted Nimrods of Hummelstown, that his old home up in Perry county was a hunter's paradise, and he pictured it so vividly that the Hummels-townians were exceedingly anxious to visit this happy hunting ground. So bright and early on Saturday morning they poured gas in Oscar's Chevrolet and away they started, and they arrived at their destina-tion just as the sun was peeping over the Perry county hills. Some how or other the rabbits were conspicuous by their ab-sence as were the squirrels and the wild turkeys. They did espy a few rabbits, however, and "Roy, being a good sport, left the two Hummelstownians do the pep-pering. George Shearer, who is another Perry countian, went a gunning for several days last week. He tells us the woods are full of squirrels. In fact, he got the limit every day, as did the others in the party. So many squirrels did he get that the Shearer family will sure get their fill of squirrel pie. Wm. Curtis went out gunning on Satur-day afternoon, and he got a rabbit. He tells us that this surpassed his fondest ex-pectations, for all the farms are closed in this vicinity. He furthermore tells us that there is something wrong, in Denmark, for he pays his good dollar bill to the Lebanon Valley Fish and Game Protective Associa-tion every year, to help stock the woods and farms with rabbits so that he can go gunning in the fall. As a consequence the farmers are getting the benefits of his dollar while he has to hunt in the lanes, and other nooks and crannies. Bill says, "It ain't right." After Sir William had gotten his rabbit, he hurried to his apartments, changed his togs and wasn't long after that he was on his way to Reading, where he was an invited guest to a social function. Mr. and Mrs. W. Ross Esbenshade witnessed the Republican parade in Lan-caster on Saturday evening. Mrs. John Shay was a visitor to Phila-delphia on Saturday witnessing the mat-tinee production of "Sally." The Hershey Sunday School Baseball League will hold a banquet"aTGrantville on Tuesday evening, November 14th. All members of the four teams and officers, are requested to meet in front of the Hershey Men's Club at 7:15 o'clock sharp, where there will be plenty of machines to convey the party to Grantville. The Ladies' Guild of the Derry Presby-terian Church gave a farewell party to Mrs. R. F. Hull on Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cassidy. All guests were in costume, and everybody had the time of their lives. Refreshments were served. Those present were: Mrs. Harry Miller, Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Taylor, Mrs. J. W.

Healey, State commander: v "The day is drawing near when the Nation will observe the fourth anniversary of the dawn of a victorious peace. The President of the United States and the Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn-sylvania have called upon our citizens to commemorate the day with a reverence in keeping with the spirit that manifested itself when right was victorious and peace came to the nations which had so coura-geously struggled in the defense of human liberty and justice. "In Pennsylvania, as is fitting, the men whose efforts aided in making a glorious peace possible should take the lead in ob-serving Armistice Day. Every post of the American Legion in this Commonwealth should mark the day with ceremonies that will direct attention to the brave deeds of those who gave their all and who enabled us to look forward with confidence to the dawn of an era where their sacrifices will find recompense in a world of peace. And in honoring the dead the living should not be forgotten. We owe it to those who made the supreme sacrifice to care for our disabled comrades. The legion has dedi-cated itself to this task. Let every true Legion member with a spirit of unselfish-ness pledge himself to lend his assistance to our programme formulated in the interest of the disabled. Let every Legion member observe the day with solemnity and dignity that will impress his community with the importance of the anniversary." Hoist the Stars and the Stripes, let the colors fly, What a thrill to our bosom it gives, As a token of joy, that will never die As long as the nation lives, Over armistice day, when the whistles blew From the East to the, West for hours; While the glorious message broadcast flew : "It is peace and the victory ours"! What a memorable day, 'mong the can-nons and Shell Where the orders were: Capture and kill "Cut them up, give them poison and send them to hell"! When the armies were told to be still! When the boys who were fighting from ARMISTICE DAY Teutonic lands, While fixing their packs for retours Came over the trenches to ours and shook hands: "It is peace and the victory yoursl" What a mountain-load from our minds it threw When we all were living to fight! It seemed at the moment the whistles blew That the darkness was changing to light. On the furrowed features of mother and wife What a heavenly lustre It gave, When the heroes they loved, who were yet in life Now were safe from a barbarous grave. Hoist the Stars and the Stripes, let the colors fly, What a thrill to our bosom it gives, As a token of joy that will never die As long as the nation lives, Over, Armistice Day when the whistles blew From the East to the West for hours While the glorious message broadcast flew : "It Is peace and the victory purs!'' , , , J ohn Hallgrtn.

Among those in the supporting cast are Charles Richman.Lew Cody, David Proc-tor, Augustus Balfour, Mack-Barnes, Helen Weir, Robert Agnew, .Martinie. Burnlay, Paul McAllister, Lew Hendricks and Wal-ter Bussel. The production is released by Associated First National Pictures, Inc.

Miss Talmadge is seen in the role of Ann Hunriiwen, a-pretty stenographer, who becomes the wife of "Lafe" Regan, a man of high social and business standing. As the result of an innocent escapade before her marriage, she becomes involved in a tragic situation when the son of her former employer is killed in a struggle with her husband. To shield her husband, who does not know that she has witnessed the tragedy, she calls the police and assumes the blame for the incident. The situation takes an extraordinary turn when the district attor-ney steps in, clears the mystery and re-stores the happiness of the Regans.

Zundel Organ Postlude Fire Company to Hold Banquet The Hershey Vol. Fire Co. held their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday eve-ning, November 7th, with the" following members present: Paul Edris, Henry Henny, Chas Black, Geo. Schroll, Chas. Palmer, Jos. Nestler, Alvin Flowers, Tom Black, Dave Ditzler, Frank Kegerreis, Wm. Hyland, Walter Ashenfelter, Harry Rudy, John Conrad, Harry Hocker, Geo. Grimm, Joe Brewer, Fred Gipe, Jacob Ebersole, J. R. Kreider, John Gordon, Wm. Brinker, John McKinne, Walter Leibfreid , Irvin Gordon, Jerome Hostetter, J. Werner, Stewart Mahon, J. F. Snavely and J. R. Snavely. J. F. Snavely, as chairman of the Fair committee, stated that $1,579 had been cleared at the Fair held October 21 to 28. He thanked the members of the Fire Com-pany who helped make the Fair the success it was. It was decided to pay $1300 on the new fire engine, which will leave $500 yet to be paid off. It was decided to buy 10 rubber coats and hats to protect the men who do the fighting. It is just as essential to have the men equipped in order that they may be able to fight a fire efficiently, almost as im-portant as the fire engine. We think it wise for the committee appointed for this purpose to include boots, as well as coats and hats. There isn't a fire that at least one member of the Company hasn't a suit of clothes, or a pair of shoes ruined. The Fire Company does not pay for suits or shoes that are ruined—the fire fighter risks his life, his time, and then ruins his cloth-ing— a nice piece of business indeed. It was decided to hold a banquet, in honor of the Committee that did the work at the Fair. This Committee will be the guests of honor, while all the others attend-ing will pay for their plates, which will be $1.25. There are, 325 members of the Fire Company and there should be at least 100 of these men attend the banquet. Hand In your name to Tom Black, who is chair-man of this Committee, with your dollar, as a retaining fee. This is going to be a reg-ular banquet, and you won't want to miss it. It will do you good to get out with the bOys once again. See Tom, he will toll you all about it. There was an election of officers , as fol-lows: President, Wm. Brinker ; vice Pres-ident, Wm. Fredericks; Secretary, A, W. Flowers; Treasurer, J. R. Kreider; Chief, John Conrad; Assistant Chief, J. F. Snav-ely. To keep a rein on a lot of "young bloods" who think they ore the whole cheese, a House Committee was appointed, as fol-lows: George Schroll, Henry Henny, Chas. Black, Harry Hocker and J. R. Kreider. It is the Intention to have these unruly members live up to the Constitution and By-Laws of the Company. Otherwise, It will be the'ash can for them. A. Bowman Snavely, who is chairman of the fire whistle, was not present, the ques-tion as to what'b the matter with the whistle, which docs, not blow when there la a fire, and when it is blown is so full of water that It sounds ns though it had a cold In the head, was, tabled There were other discussions, too, and it might bo well if a, few other worthy mem-bers of the Fire Company would attend these monthly meetings—they are held on the first Tuesday of every month. Let's have a regular fire company—and don't forget the banquet. The names of Leo Poorman and CyruB Garman were inadvertently ommlttcd from the list of the subscribe™ to the foot-ball season ticket sale, Each of these gentlemen bought a season ticket for $1,00.

WhaiVWhajt
and Who's Who
Last Christmas Mr. and" Mrsi" P. W."
Pugh received an unusual gift from Santa.
Glaus. - It was a large tropical or sub-trop-ical
American brilliantly colored arine par-rot:'
It had a long hooked bill, and a very
long wedge-shaped tail. From that time
on it was hot necessary to have a Big. Ben
in the Pugh household. Instead of being
awakened by the tingleof Big Ben's greet-ing,
or the melodious strains of a pipe organ
as was Andrew Carriegiej the stentorian
squawk: orthe Macaw^did the trick. So
persistently did Santa Claus' gift keep on
the job that one fine day the Macaw was
found in the flershey Department Store,
where he was quite the rage fpr about one
week. Later on we found the Macaw
housed in the'Hershey Zoo. where his shrill
notes melded in with the cooing of the
dove, the yelping of the hyena, the mooing
of the Zebu, and the neighing of the Shet-land
ponies. George: Kreider, who is the
attendant at the Zoo, took a fond liking to
the Macaw, and in his spare moments he
taught the Italian nightingale (as he some-times
called the Macaw) a few phrases—in
English and Pennsylvania Dutch, such as
"Shut Up," "Polly Wants a Cracker",
"Polly Don't Want a Cracker", and "Who
Do You Think You Are, Valentino"? So
accomplished has the Macaw become that
possibly the Zoo visitors will find him
among the missing some day and, perhaps,
he will be sitting on a nice little perch, on
the Pugh lawn and will greet you with a
"Well, here I am again—you can't keep a
good fellow down".
Roy Sternberger told Oscar Bordner and
John Walters, the two most noted Nimrods
of Hummelstown, that his old home up in
Perry county was a hunter's paradise, and
he pictured it so vividly that the Hummels-townians
were exceedingly anxious to visit
this happy hunting ground. So bright and
early on Saturday morning they poured
gas in Oscar's Chevrolet and away they
started, and they arrived at their destina-tion
just as the sun was peeping over the
Perry county hills. Some how or other
the rabbits were conspicuous by their ab-sence
as were the squirrels and the wild
turkeys. They did espy a few rabbits,
however, and "Roy, being a good sport, left
the two Hummelstownians do the pep-pering.
George Shearer, who is another Perry
countian, went a gunning for several days
last week. He tells us the woods are full
of squirrels. In fact, he got the limit every
day, as did the others in the party. So
many squirrels did he get that the Shearer
family will sure get their fill of squirrel pie.
Wm. Curtis went out gunning on Satur-day
afternoon, and he got a rabbit. He
tells us that this surpassed his fondest ex-pectations,
for all the farms are closed in
this vicinity. He furthermore tells us that
there is something wrong, in Denmark, for
he pays his good dollar bill to the Lebanon
Valley Fish and Game Protective Associa-tion
every year, to help stock the woods
and farms with rabbits so that he can go
gunning in the fall. As a consequence the
farmers are getting the benefits of his dollar
while he has to hunt in the lanes, and other
nooks and crannies. Bill says, "It ain't
right." After Sir William had gotten his
rabbit, he hurried to his apartments,
changed his togs and wasn't long after that
he was on his way to Reading, where he
was an invited guest to a social function.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Ross Esbenshade
witnessed the Republican parade in Lan-caster
on Saturday evening.
Mrs. John Shay was a visitor to Phila-delphia
on Saturday witnessing the mat-tinee
production of "Sally."
The Hershey Sunday School Baseball
League will hold a banquet"aTGrantville on
Tuesday evening, November 14th. All
members of the four teams and officers, are
requested to meet in front of the Hershey
Men's Club at 7:15 o'clock sharp, where
there will be plenty of machines to convey
the party to Grantville.
The Ladies' Guild of the Derry Presby-terian
Church gave a farewell party to Mrs.
R. F. Hull on Thursday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cassidy. All

John Hettinger is the champion hunter
of those employed at the Hershey Transit
Company's car barn. He went out one
earjy morning and came back with five—•

kittens, arid the others wormy.

fittingly observe Armistice Day.
The following proclamation has been is-sued
by Sergeant William B. Healey, State
commander: v
"The day is drawing near when the
Nation will observe the fourth anniversary
of the dawn of a victorious peace. The
President of the United States and the
Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn-sylvania
have called upon our citizens to
commemorate the day with a reverence in
keeping with the spirit that manifested
itself when right was victorious and peace
came to the nations which had so coura-geously
struggled in the defense of human
liberty and justice.
"In Pennsylvania, as is fitting, the men
whose efforts aided in making a glorious
peace possible should take the lead in ob-serving
Armistice Day. Every post of the
American Legion in this Commonwealth
should mark the day with ceremonies that
will direct attention to the brave deeds of
those who gave their all and who enabled
us to look forward with confidence to the
dawn of an era where their sacrifices will
find recompense in a world of peace. And
in honoring the dead the living should not
be forgotten. We owe it to those who
made the supreme sacrifice to care for our
disabled comrades. The legion has dedi-cated
itself to this task. Let every true
Legion member with a spirit of unselfish-ness
pledge himself to lend his assistance to
our programme formulated in the interest
of the disabled. Let every Legion member
observe the day with solemnity and dignity
that will impress his community with the
importance of the anniversary."
Hoist the Stars and the Stripes, let the
colors fly,
What a thrill to our bosom it gives,
As a token of joy, that will never die
As long as the nation lives,
Over armistice day, when the whistles blew
From the East to the, West for hours;
While the glorious message broadcast flew :
"It is peace and the victory ours"!
What a memorable day, 'mong the can-nons
and Shell
Where the orders were: Capture and kill
"Cut them up, give them poison and send
them to hell"!
When the armies were told to be still!
When the boys who were fighting from
ARMISTICE DAY
Teutonic lands,
While fixing their packs for retours
Came over the trenches to ours and shook
hands:
"It is peace and the victory yoursl"
What a mountain-load from our minds it
threw
When we all were living to fight!
It seemed at the moment the whistles blew
That the darkness was changing to light.
On the furrowed features of mother and
wife
What a heavenly lustre It gave,
When the heroes they loved, who were yet
in life
Now were safe from a barbarous grave.
Hoist the Stars and the Stripes, let the
colors fly,
What a thrill to our bosom it gives,
As a token of joy that will never die
As long as the nation lives,
Over, Armistice Day when the whistles
blew
From the East to the West for hours
While the glorious message broadcast flew :
"It Is peace and the victory purs!'' , ,
