Art Garrison Wins. Employees
Golf Title In Playoff Match
Art Garrison won the 1957 Hershey Employees' Handi-cap
Golf Tournament at the Hershey Country Club last
Tuesday in a four-hole playoff with lefty Bill O'Neal.
The only scratch golfer among the 132 men who partici-pated
in the employees' tournament this summer, Garrison
fired a four-under-par 69.
Long-hitting O'Neal, al-ready
in the clubhouse with a
69 on the basis of a 76-7 han-dicap
combination, had op-portunities
on the first three
extra holes to capture the
title, but his putts failed to
fall. Then on the par four
fourth hole, O'Neal was short
with his second shot, ap-proached
deep to the sloping
green and missed his long par
four effort.
Garrison then canned a
birdie three-putt and won the
trophy.
For Garrison, it represent-ed
the third time in five years
that he has won the cham-pionship,
as he combined on a
72-3 effort back in 1953 and
won the trophy the first year
the handicap tourney, in its
present form, was played at
the long, championship Coun-try
Club layout.
The following year the tro-phy
went to Dick Knoll, who
combined an 83-12 score for
the championship. Knoll was
fo1iowd by Bill Clark who
put together a 100-27 card for
the trophy. Last year the
trophy went to John Baum
who combined an 18 handicap
with his net 89 for a 71 total.
Awarded by Hershey Park,
the trophy this year was pre-sented
to Garrison by James
E. Bobb, Hershey Estates
Yice President.
Garrison and O'Neal also
received four golf balls, the
presentation having been
made by J. J. Gallagher,
Chairman of the Board and
General Sales Manager, Her-shey
Chocolate Corporation.
Mr. Gallagher also present-ed
two balls each to the fol-lowing
golfers: Charles Shaf-fer,
95-21-74; Jim Long, 81-
7-74; Terry Faul, 106-31-75;
Bob Stover, 84-9-75; Royce

Colorful Dutch Days To Be
Celebrated On Large Scale
The Pennsylvania Dutch and their enthusiastic adhe-rents
will soon be "shusseling off" to Hershey Park for the
ninth annual observance of Pennsylvania's original Dutch
festival, Pennsylvania Dutch Days.
Thousands of visitors are expected to be attracted to the
colorful program, which gets under way Thursday, August
22, and continues through Sunday, August 25.
Originated nine years ago
by members of the Penn-sylvania
Dutch Dialec t
Class of the Hershey Eve-ning
School as a means of
preserving the so - called
"lost" arts and customs of
the Pennsylvania Germans,
the program began as a
one - day picnic which at-tracted
25,000 v isit or s.
Since then it has grown by
leaps and bounds until to-day
it embraces four days.
While the program's flavor
remains heavily spiced with
"Dutch" tradition, the cele-bration
has since taken on a

Hershey Girl In Mexico Earthquake
A Hers h ey girl, Miss
Norma Modesti, recently had
a vacation experience she
didn't expect. And she cer-tainly
would pass up any
chances for a repetition.
Miss Modesti, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Alvise Modesti
of 122 West Granada Avenue,
was in Mexico City when the
Mexican capital was struck
by the r ec ent disastrous
earthquake. Fortunately, the
visitor escaped with only
badly shaken nerves.
Miss Modesti is a graduate of
Hershey High School, Hershey
Junior College and the Pennsyl-vania
State University and will
teach home economics at Eliza-bethtown
High School. She and a
Penn State roommate are on a
motor trip which took them to
Mexico City and California. They
left July 8 and plan to return home
on Sunday.
The Hershey girl, in a letter
to her parents, described the sensa•
tion of suddenly finding a modern
hotel building swaying beneath her
feet.
"This is one thing I never thought
would happen to us on our trip,"
Miss Modesti wrote, "and, believe
me, I was never more terrified
in my life."
First indication she had of the
earthquake disaster came when
she thought—but couldn't believe
it—that she saw the floor move.
"Then," Miss Modesti wrote.
"things began happening. The
whole building shook and I could
feel the tile wall swaying back
and forth under my hands, just
like a swing. The lights all went
out, windows cracked, and we
could hear people screaming. All
I could think to do was pray.
"When the shaking stopped, we
Norma Modesti
found our way down to the next
floor. After that, it was impos-sible
to sleep so we all went out
for coffee. I think all of Mexico
City was up.
"The damage was quite exten-sive
in the city, but we were quite
fortunate in our hotel. If I had
stayed in bed a door would have
fallen on me, but outside of that,
we only had cracked glass, broken
plaster and cracked tile.
"I like Mexico but after this ter-rifying
experience, it will be good
to get back to the U. S. again."
AT CHURCH CAMP

the Class A Pony Show con-ducted
by the Pennsylvania
Pony Breeders' Association in
conjunction with the Dutch
Days event.
The Pony Show is sanc-tioned
by the American Horse
Shows Association and the
American Shetland Pony Club,
and will be the biggest Shet-land
pony show in the East.
Children's classes for regis-tered
or grade Shetlands will
be held Saturday, August 24,
starting at 12:30. Hershey
area Shetland owners may
enter the children's class
events as late as the morning
of August 24. There will be
classes for children under six,
and up to eighteen. Registra-tion
point will be located
northwest of the Stadium.
There is no entry fee.
On Thursday, August 22,
and Friday, August 23, the

decided state fair atmosphere.
Several new agricultural
features have been added,
which will give visitors a
bird's-eye view of Pennsylvan-ia's
Farm Show next January.
Highlighting the "Dutch"
aspect of the program will be
the mammoth craft exhibits
in the Sports Arena, where
several hundred artisans will
demonstrate such "lost" arts
as glass - blowing, ceramics,
weaving, candle dipping and
quilting.
Ladies of four area church-es
will be on hand to work on
quilts and the entire craft ex-hibit
will be backgrounded by
a display of some 300 quilts,
believed to be the largest dis-play
of its kind in the world.
In addition to such fa-miliar
farm features as the
dairy cattle show, market
hog show, farm implement
exhibit, hay show and goat
show. James E. Bobb, chair-man
of the agricultural
events, has added two new
events: The Pennsylvania
Plowing Contests will be
held on Thursday and the
Pennsylvania Pony Breed-ers
Association has sched-uled
a show and judging
program which will con-tinue
through Saturday.
Judging of the dairy show,
in which 4-H Club members
will vie with their elders for
$4000 in prize money, and
preliminary judging of entries
in the pony show will be fea-tures
of Thursday's program.
There will also be an address
by former Congressman Guy
J. Swope.
An old-fashioned Pennsyl-vania
Dutch auction, which
will be conducted partly in the
dialect, will open Friday's pro-gram
in the bandshell at
three p.m.
Friday evening, a Dutch re-ligious
service, with the Rev.
Ralph E. Starr, of Werners-ville,
conducting the program
in Dutch, is scheduled for sev-en
p.m. A square dance will
