Payroll Savings
Plan Offered To
Hershey Workers
Hershey Chocolate Corpor-ation,
Hershey Estates, and
Milton Hershey School em-ployees
will be afforded an op-portunity
to further partici-pate
in the Payroll Savings
Plan for U.S. Savings Bonds,
with the current campaign
kick-off scheduled for May
9th.
On the theme, "Share in Amer-ica,"
bond drive canvassers will be
stressing the importance of invest-ing
in the nation's strength and
peace power.
The United States must remain
strong in modern military defense
in order to deter aggression and
to assure our future freedom. In-vesting
in the Share-in-America
Savings Bonds program is a sure
way to help our nation directly.
Insofar as personal advantages
of the payroll deduction plan of ac-quiring
Series E Savings Bonds. are
concerned, studies show that Amer-icans
are using the system with en-thusiasm
in saving for definite ob-jectives;
The children's future ed-ucation;
the purchasing of homes;
the rainy-day nest-egg.'
Sounding the keynote of the cam-paign
will be letters mailed to all
employees from S. F. Hinkle, Pres-ident,
Hershey Chocolate Corpora-tion;
John B. Sollenberger, Presi-dent..
Hershey Elates; and James
E. Bobb, Chairman, Board of Man-agers,
Milton Hershey School.
So successful was the Payroll
Savings Plan campaign two years
ago, that Hershey Chocolate Cor-poration
and Hershey Estates were
cited for their continued efforts in
behalf of the U.S. Savings Bond
program.
More than 50 percent of the em-ployees
at Hershey Chocolate Cor-poration
and the Hershey Estates
already participate in the payroll
deduction program.
Employees of the Chocolate Cor-poration,
Estates and Milton Her-shey
School can take pride in their
record of $15,000,000 in total bond
purchases through the Payroll Sav-ings
Plan since 1941.
Regular bond-buying by these
employees demonstrates their rec-ognition
of this sound and easy to
do system of saving.

BLOSSOM TIME
Hershey Orchards are a riot of
color at this time; what with the
peach and cherry blossoms in full
bloom.
Manager Ray L. Kirkpatrick ex-pects
the beautiful pink and white
apple blossoms to be at their height
this week-end.
Dependent upon weather condi-tions,
the apple blossoms remain
in full bloom some three days; and
retain their beauty anywhere from
five to ten days.
Hershey Orchards are located on
Route 743 (Airport Road) west.
LET 'EM ROLL. Adding authenticity to Hershey Park's new
Turnpike Ride is the toll gate being installed by employees of
Hershey Lumber Products. On the roof are Toni Teahl (left) and

indicates that the midgets will roll over the half mile concrete
strip this weekend. .

Reading Company Plans To
Improve Derry Crossing;
Township To Widen Road
Application has been submitted
by The Reading Company to the
Pennsylvania Public Utility Com-mission
for permission to improve
its tracks, roadbed and protection
at the Derry Road crossing. Level-ing
of the tracks, resurfacing and
widening of the roadbed are pro-posed
to provide a smoother ve-hicular
crossing and an outlined
footway for pedestrians.
Vehicular and pedestrian gates,
automatic bell and flashing lights
are planned.
The flashing lights would be
somewhat like those used at grade
crossings over state highways. For
example, on Route 422 East of the
Route 230 bypass.
Darkness in the crossing area
would be remedied by the instal-lation
of two additional lamps of
the newer street light type.
The crossing has been a scene
of several accidents; including a
double fatal accident approximate-ly
four and a half years ago.
It has been learned that, school
buses do not cross the tracks at
this point. School children living
East of the crossing have a paved
footway available along Mansion
Road to the sidewalk on Chocolate
Avenue.
Children living in the block West
of the crossing have a route via
Trinidad and Park Avenues to
Chocolate Avenue.
If the Commission approves, the
abrupt concave approach on the
West side of the crossing will be
made a more gradual one.
Coinciding with improvement of
the crossing, the Derry Township
Supervisors plan to widen and re-surface
Derry Road both East and
West of the tracks.
Last summer the Pennsylvania
Department of Highways improved
the portion of Derry Road between
the Laudermilch Road and Route
422 at the "Triangle".

Hershey Chocolate Corporation Offers
High School Seniors Opportunity Of
Analytical Look At Business In Action
To provide a specific occasion for high school seniors to
take an analytical look at our American business system in
action, the Hershey Chocolate Corporation conducts special
tours for ACES (Americans for the Competitive Enterprise
System, Inc.).
The ACES program generally is
divided into four phases. The stu-dents
are greeted by President S.
F. Hinkle, who describes the growth
and past history of the Chocolate'
Corporation together with its meth-ods
of operation.
Following the extensive plant
tours, the students reassemble in
the Office Conference Room for a
brief discussion on the Corpora-tion's
financial operations.
A representative of the Person-nel
Department outlines policies
and procedures connected with per-sonnel
and industrial relations as-pects
of the Corporation.
In addition, all commercial class
students are provided a special tour
of the Corporation's modern of-fices.
During the period March 29
through 4, the seniors of the
M. S. Hershey Jr.-Sr. High School
visited the plant under the ACES
program. There were 100 academic
and 75 commercial students this
year from the Derry Township
school system.
Then, too, some 70 vocational de-partment
juniors will participate in
the ACES program.
From the Milton Hershey School
this school year, 103 boys have vis-ited
the plant.
In its well-rounded program,
ACES provides teachers and ad-ministrators,
through Teacher-In-
Industry Day, with the opportunity
of spending one day as guests of
local industry for a "behind-the-scenes"
study of the American
competitive enterprise system as
it functions in their communities.
This year, seventeen teachers
from the Shippensburg Area Joint
School System visited the Hershey
Chocolate Corporation.
When the exchange students were
in Hershey from concord, Mass.,
they also were given a special tour
of the plant; although this group
does not come under the ACES
program.
Melvin J. Freeman is Executive
Director of the Central Pennsyl-vania
Chapter of ACES. President
S. F. Hinkle is a member of the
Board of Directors; and Assistant
to the President, Harold S. Mohler
serves as President of the Chapter.
PLANT ENGINEER George T. Bohner explains the Kiss packaging
operation at the Hershey Chocolate Corporation to students from
the M. S. Hershey Jr.-Sr. High School. Accompanied by faculty mem-ber,
George W. Kunkle, the students were visiting the Plant under
the program of ACES (Americans for the Competitive Enterprise
System, Inc.)
