with additional facilities.
One of the newest innovations in
thrill rides, the Aero-Jet has been
erected on the site of the former
Aerial Joy Ride which was disman-tled
last season after 22 years of serv-ice.
The Joy Ride was purchased by
Hershey from the New York World's

East End Apartments at Java Avenue. The John Stapf Companies have been awarded the contract
calling for grading the site and macadamizing the new parking area. Present plans call for the new
lot to tie into the existing parking area located at the southeast corner of Homestead and Chocolate
Avenues. Access to the new lot will be through this existing lot. Work is expected to be completed
by the end of the factory vacation this summer. The photo above shows the area being cleared
and prepared by the razing of houses to make way for the new parking lot which will be used to
augment the parking space for the Hershey Chocolate Corporation Employes,
son of operation last year. Also in full
swing are the park's two miniature
golf courses, driving range, two fun
houses, the kiddies' playground, nu-merous
skill games, free zoo and the
popular penny arcade. The penny ar-cade
this year is equipped with a
brand new, extended battery of skee-roll
alleys and several new coin-op-erated
devices.
Outstanding musical attractions

free of charge on Sundays and ,
holidays throughout the season. In-cluded
among these are Little Nick
