VALUE OF CHOCOLATE
Hershey, in Pennsylvania, must be one of the most fortunate towns in the whole wide world. It is named after Mr. Milton Snaveley Hershey, a chocolate manufacturer. He has made an enormous fortune there, and 10 years ago he handed over £12,000,000 to found an industrial school for orphan boys. Now a great six-storey building called a community house is to be erected, containing a theatre, a gymnasium, a swimming bath, and seating accommodation for Hershey’s 2500 inhabitants. Mr. Hershey, who is now 71, has also made a gift to his fel-low-townsmen equal to £2 a .lead for each man, woman and child.
