THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Will Be Located at the Corner of Cocoa Avenue and New Street On the first of December last Mr. M. S. Hershey offered1 to the Bishop of the Diocese of Harrisburg two lots for the site of the Catholic church . in Hershey. These lots are on the north-east cornier of Cocoa Avenue and the new street south of Arena, which is yet unnamed. The site is a -most ex-cellent one, being in the path of the fflew residential growth- of Hershey. The deeds for the lots have niot passed, butN it is1 understood that the gift will be acceptable to the 'Bishop. The Catholic population of Hershey and .(the snirrountKng' country continues to increase, and it includes a number of prominent and influential families. Until they get their new church they must worship at Harrisburg or Leba-non. It is probable tha t the church in Hershey will start as a mission ami the cost of the stinie'ture i» expected to foe over $6,000.

Store opened on Tuesday and will continue to the end of the present week. The attendance on the first days assures the success of the under-taking. Among the hundreds of peo-ple who have been present were many from ¦ the surrounding country and nearby towns. All were pleased. For the week the.jGj oceryj'Depart-rnent has overflowed its ample space and has taken 'possession of mos't of the middle and the side aisles. Along these are arranged the exhibits of leading food manufacturers, most of which are la charge of experienced de-monstrators sent to Hershey from the home offices. The Sunshine Biscuit people are represented toy scores of their products. Heinz and his fifty-seven va rieties are all there. Karo and the other products of the Cora Products Refining Company occupy a prominent place. Occident .Flour is de-monstrated in samples of successful baking. The . familiar Grape-nuts and other Postum foods have a table. Graipefruitol a looks very appetizing. The Dromedary Products have one of the . most important . exhibits. The Diamond Match Company puts up a practical proposition. Attractive rep-resentations are the Oleomargarine ex-hibits of AVilliam J. Moxley, the spag-hetti of Foulds and the Teco self-rais-ing pancake flour. Hersto Coffee, the forerunner of a full line of Hershey Store Co. products and it is a good start on a quality line. It is demonstrated ably by Mrs. Lyons, of Harrisburg. Sunkist pro-ducts are well handled by Wltman Schwarz. The Hershey Dairies ex-hibit attracts attention. Cream of Barley, a new cereal , is first to greet you on entering. The fruit and vege table display is exceptional, as the fruit shown is seldom seen in such variety here. On the south aisle is a full exhibit of the Hershey cocoas and chocolates. It attracts as much attention as any of the others even from the people of Hershey, and it is easy to understand why this same exhibit shown in other Food Shows throughout the country-has been so remarkably successful. In honor of the week the Meat De-partment is in gala attire and the win-dow display in the big refrigerator elicits general admiration. Altogether the first annual food show is one of the finest things ever seen in Hershey, an d its success is very gratifying.

In the absence of the regu-lar officers , Elmer Klippinger presided and Bruce B. Lelunan was secretary. The debate was_•; upon the question, "Resolved, That heredity is a more po-tent factor than environment." J. M. Brandau and Edmund U. Smith com-posed the affirmative side, the former taking the rebuttal. On the negative were Dr. H. G. Jlumma and Lynn W. Meekins, and the rebuttal was taken by the latter. The judges, S. D. Clark, George E. Copenhaver and William A. Curtis, decided that the negative side had the better of the argument. In the general debate that followed there was an interesting exchange of views. . Mr. Copenhaver mentioned some facts in favor of heredity. Mr. Snyder took the side of environment and emphasized its practica l import-ance. A question , raised by Mr. Bran-dau in regard tb the spiritual nature of heredity brough t replies from Mr. Clark, Ira Muimna and others. ¦ The Next Meeting The next meeting will be Tuesday-evening, February 15, at S o'clock at the Men's Club.

' There is much interest in the for-tunes of the Debating Society. It can be made a factor in the community and its proceedings are always worth while. All men, especially j 'oung men, are invited to attend. 200 YEARS OLD An Ancient Clock That Still Keeps Excellent Time An old grandfather clock which stands in the home of Hairry G.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Will Be Located at the Corner of
Cocoa Avenue and New Street
On the first of December last Mr. M.
S. Hershey offered1 to the Bishop of
the Diocese of Harrisburg two lots for
the site of the Catholic church . in
Hershey. These lots are on the north-east
cornier of Cocoa Avenue and the
new street south of Arena, which is
yet unnamed. The site is a -most ex-cellent
one, being in the path of the
fflew residential growth- of Hershey.
The deeds for the lots have niot passed,
butN it is1 understood that the gift will
be acceptable to the 'Bishop.
The Catholic population of Hershey
and .(the snirrountKng' country continues
to increase, and it includes a number
of prominent and influential families.
Until they get their new church they
must worship at Harrisburg or Leba-non.
It is probable tha t the church in
Hershey will start as a mission ami
the cost of the stinie'ture i» expected
to foe over $6,000.
