set aside for that purpose, to the
end thnt the whole city pause in
it's festivities for that time to
offer silent prayer for our soldiers
in France and on the Seas; for
those of our allies and for the
success of cur Arms and the full
attainment of our war aims.

At Hershey's Creamery
The club met last evening as the
guests of Eli \. Hershey, who is
both the president of the club and Ot
the Hershey Creamery Company, at
the new plant of the company in
South Cameron street. Previous to
the meeting and following it Mr.
Hershey escorted the Rotarians
about the plant. which is made en-
tirely of concrete and steel and
equipped with the most modern
machinery for the making of ice
cream and the churning of butter.
Making Ice Cream
From the time the milk enters the
plant until it is drawn from the ice
cream freezers into the cans by
means of spigots, it is not exposed to
contamination of any sort. Steel
pipes, which can be sterilized when
empty by a flow of scalding water
convey the milk from tank to home
genizer, where the fat globules are
crushed as a grist mill crushes wheat
in order to make the ice cream per-
fectly smooth, thence to the pastuer-
izers, to the cooling tanks and cold
storage where it is held at a safe
temperature until ready to be made
into ice cream. The freeZers have
a capacity of six gallons of ice cream
minute. The plant makes it's ow1
ice and has its own cold storage fa-
hibits being an apartment in which
are stored some fifteen barrels oi
crushed fresh Strawberries which are
used throughout the year to make
fresh strawberry ice cream, the ber-
ries being as sweet to the taste and
as free from fern entation or the eff
fects of preserving at the end of the
season as when they were first stor-
ed. The Rotarians sampled them
last night and found them delicious
The employees of the plant all weaI
white suits, all utensils are sterilized
constant tests of milk and other pro.
ducts are made and special locker
rooms, with shower baths attached
are provided for the nearly fifty EN-.
ployes, so that the clothing and shoes
they wear to and from work MAY
carry no dirt into the manufacturing
rooms. The factory is one of the
most complete in the state. Ice
cream, strawberries and rich, fresh
milk were served as refreshments
The club last evening voted to ap-
propriate S25 toward the insurance
necessary for the delivery car recent
ly purchased by the Motor Messen-
gers for canteen and general Rec
Cross work.
