cocoa in the world.
Dr. Tosta visited Hershey for
three days during which time he
discussed with officials of the
Chocolate Corporation the outlook
for cocoa production.

to speak before the Hershey Rotary
Club. He told the Rotarians that
he is convinced that the world's
cocoa production is on the rise and

Ironhorse Ramble
By Reading Will
Stop In Hershey
The giant Reading Com-pany
steam locomotive, No.
2124, and a 16-car excursion
train will visit Hershey thrice
within two weeks this spring,
stopping over two hours on
each occasion enroute to
Gettysburg, on an Ironhorse
Ramble.
On Saturday, April 30, and Sun-day,
May 1 and 8, the train will be
parked near the Hershey Station
while the engine takes water and
coal at Rutherford. During this
period the passengers, coming
from many states of the Union,
will have the opportunity to visit
Hershey Park and see other sights
of the community.
The train is scheduled to arrive
in Hershey at 10:45 a.m. on April
30 and 10:10 a.m. on May 8. In each
case, departure will be exactly two
hours later.
George Bartels, park manager,
announced that the park's amuse-ments
will be open for the use of
the passengers.
Revival of the steam locomotive
for passenger •excursions by the
Reading Railroad was brought
about by the request of lovers of
the steam engine. The company
brought the giant iron horse No.
2124 out of long retirement last
fall. An average of more than 900
person; rode each of the three sub-sequent
trips.
Because old No. 2124 is one of
the very last of a breed of loco-motion,
throngs of people turned
out to watch the train huff and puff
along its routes last fall. Many
more are expected to watch for the
iron monster on these next trips.
Highlights of the excursions are
the "movie" or "speed" picture
stops. On these, the train stops on
a wide, sweeping curve, detrains
its passengers, and backs up a mile
or two.
Then it comes forward again,
whistle blowing, smoke flying from
the stack, for the benefit of camera
fans — a predominant group
among the passengers.
No. 2124 was built 15 years ago
in Reading, weighs 400 tons (in-cluding
19,000 gallons of water and
26 tons of coal).
