- [Announcer] Back in World War II, "Collier's Magazine" gave Emporium a special nickname, and the town became famous.

Do you know what Emporium's nickname was?

(upbeat electro music) You're invited to play "The Pennsylvania Game."

Test your knowledge of the commonwealth's people, places, and products.

"The Pennsylvania Game" is brought to you in part by Uni-Marts Incorporated with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.

(cheerful music) (upbeat electro music) Now let's get the game started.

Here's the host of "The Pennsylvania Game," Lynn Hinds.

(audience applauding) - Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Welcome to another edition of "The Pennsylvania Game."

And let's say thank you again to Pack 44 from Pine Grove Mills.

Guys, it's nice to have you here along with our other studio audience, and along with you to play at home with our panel.

And he's back loving it and ready again for another game, Bernie Asbell.

Let's say welcome to Bernie.

(audience applauding) She's Assistant Manager of News and Information at Penn State University, Vicki Fong.

(audience applauding) Let's welcome Vicki.

And one of my favorite psychologist in the whole world, Stephen Ragusea.

Dr. Ragusea, thank you for being here too.

(audience applauding) All right, let's see if we don't have a question or two.

Some of the most beautiful country in Pennsylvania's up around Emporium.

That's the first question.

- [Announcer] Emporium.

Deep in the mountains of North Central Pennsylvania, is the county seat of Cameron County.

When the dynamite used to build the Panama Canal was made here, they called it Powder City.

But increased production at the Sylvania Electric Plant during World War II caused "Collier's Magazine" to give Emporium a new name.

Did they call it A, Tube Town, B, Girls Town, C, Radio City, or D, Torpedo Town?

- Well, thanks to Betty Manginell.

Betty, I hope I'm saying your last name correctly, it's M-A-N-G-I-N-E-L-L, from Emporium who suggested this question and I didn't know about it until Betty told me and it's a real nice question.

You get a free subscription to "Pennsylvania Magazine."

Thanks to "Pennsylvania Magazine" and WPSX for sending that in.

Emporium, World War II, Sylvania Plant.

What'd they call it, Bernie?

"Collier's Magazine."

You remember "Collier's?"

- Oh, I remember "Collier's," sure.

- [Lynn] Yeah.

- One would think that it stands out as being separate from the rest.

Girls Town.

Maybe Rosie the Riveter worked there.

But I sort of like Torpedo Town.

- [Lynn] Torpedo Town!

- It has a kind of ring to it.

- Yes.

Yes, they had an alley there they call Torpedo Alley.

- Sylvania is my favorite brand of torpedo.

It always has been.

- There you go.

Vicki?

- Well, I've been to Emporium.

My college roommate lived in Emporium.

- Unfair!

Vicki has information.

- But this is a stumper.

- Uh-huh.

- I'll say Tube Town sounds like a good one.

- Tube Town.

We have a difference of opinion.

A Tube Town and a Torpedo Town.

Stephen?

- Torpedo Town sounds too much like the first nickname it had.

Radio City is obviously incorrect.

- There was another town named Radio City, yes.

- There wasn't a music hall there.

And Girls Town was a movie that had Spencer Tracy in it or something like that.

So I'm gonna go with Tube Town because tubes are socks.

- I thought that was "Boys Town" that Spencer Tracy was in.

Tube socks, Sylvania, maker of, I see.

World War II, back to Emporium.

What did they call it?

- [Announcer] The answer is B, Girls Town.

(audience applauding) Actually, Sylvania had employed women since 1904 because of their skill and patience.

They pioneered music to relieve monotony in the 1930s.

But the parade of women grew as men were drafted into the service.

When the old railroad station came to life, as the servicemen came through, the women were there to provide coffee and a friendly smile.

So it was that Emporium became Girls Town, Pennsylvania.

- Should have stayed with it.

- That was Spencer Tracy.

- And you all missed it.

Girls Town was the name of it.

"Boys Town" was the thing Spencer Tracy was in.

- This was Mrs. Tracy.

- I see.

Back to the year 1905 and Governor Samuel Pennypacker had a thing or so to say about this.

- [Announcer] When a reform group wanted it banned in 1905, Pennsylvania governor Samuel Pennypacker said that it was a gentleman's constitutional right and that to forbid it is an infringement of liberty.

Was he speaking of A, wearing a hat indoors, B, spitting in public, C, going without a shirt or D, reading the Police Gazette?

- It's a gentleman's constitutional right and to forbid it is an infringement of liberty.

What was he talking about, Vicki?

Which of those four?

- Well, that could be all four.

- Could be.

- Let's see here.

Well, wearing a hat indoors, spitting, going without a shirt or reading the police gazette.

- [Lynn] 1905.

- Well, let's say, being a a fan of "The Honeymooners" or those kinds of shows, let's say going without a shirt.

- [Lynn] Going without a shirt.

All right, you should not go shirtless in public.

Yes, Stephen.

- That man looked, reminded me a lot of Richard Nixon.

- Did he?

- And Richard Nixon would never go without a shirt.

- [Lynn] I see.

- I don't think he could read.

And spitting in public is just too tacky to consider defending.

- I see, I see.

- So I'm gonna go with wearing a hat indoors.

- Wearing a hat indoors.

A gentleman has a right.

All right.

- Did you say a law was introduced?

- I said they were trying, a reform group wanted it banned.

They wanted a law against this and Governor Samuel Pennypacker said, "It is a gentleman's constitutional right.

You shouldn't ban it."

What is it?

- Well, I know the answer is B.

- [Lynn] Do you?

- But also Oliver Wendell Holmes used to go to a burlesque theater in Washington.

And I have a hunch that this outfit wanted to ban the police Gazette, which was- - [Lynn] It had some racy stuff in it, that "Police Gazette."

- It sure did.

- "Captain Billy's Wizbang" was another one that they showed.

- That's right.

- What's the answer here though?

- [Announcer] The answer is B, spitting in public.

(audience applauding) The spread of tuberculosis created a movement to prohibit spitting.

Town after town did impose a ban on spitting.

The only memento of those days gone by are beautiful spittoons, sometimes called cuspidors, such as these at the Swigart Auto Museum near Huntington.

(soft string music) - I just had to show you those cuspidors or spittoons.

The Swigart Auto Museum has just lots of those around.

And some of them are so ornamental.

I mean, you could hardly imagine, but I guess in those days a gentleman just had to have a place to expectorate and that's what they did.

- Spit is what they did.

- Yeah, they did.

Governor Pennypacker said it was a constitutional right to do so.

Let's talk to our panel a little bit.

How are you, Bernie?

- (laughs) Well, I'm just fine.

I gotta stop doing these near misses and get a couple of hits.

- I gotta tell you, I was in Bernie's home the other day and visited his library, which has an exercise bike in one corner among other things, but it has a whole shelf of books about this wide, all of them authored by one Bernard Asbell.

And I've not read that many books.

And I felt really in the presence of something- - Neither have I.

- Really?

- No.

- [Lynn] You don't read your own stuff?

- Oh, I've read those, but no others.

- Oh, oh, I see.

Vicki Fong is from Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

- Pottstown Pennsylvania.

- Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

And you are now the Assistant Manager of Information and News and that sort of stuff.

- That's right, for Penn State University.

- Universities have large needs to deal with media of all kind, don't they?

- Surely.

- Yeah.

- And a lot of other things we do is to tell media across the state and the nation what kind of good things Penn State researchers and faculty are doing.

- Lots of research and of things, from all the things to fighting disease, to how to find better energy sources.

- Right.

- To everything in the whole world.

- Studying families, cars, all kinds of things.

- Do you find the media sometimes in a bit of a hurry when they want information?

- Oh, everything's yesterday.

- (laughs) Yeah, exactly.

Not like psychologists who say, "Sit down and take your time and tell me about it."

- Would you like to talk for a few minutes?

- No, I would not like to talk for a few minutes 'cause you take notes when I talk.

Let's take a look at a guy named John Fiester, who was a Pennsylvanian of German descent who was something of an artist and a work of art he did.

- [Announcer] It took John Fiester, a Pennsylvania German, 11 years to complete his work of art.

The theme of his work is the betrayal of Jesus by Judas.

Is John Fiester's work of art, A, a clock, B, an oil painting, C, an ice sculpture, or D, a marble mosaic?

- Okay.

John Fiester, Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania Deutsche, German really, took him 11 years to complete this work of art and the theme was the betrayal of Jesus by Judas.

Dr. Ragusea, let's see you outsmart yourself on this one.

- Swedes are famous for marble mosaics.

- Marble mosaics.

- That's right.

And an ice sculpture would take 11 seconds to melt and I don't think he'd spend 11 years on it.

- Unless he had a big refrigerator, which is possible.

Bernie, he says D. What do you say?

- I wanted to say that about 11 seconds to melt.

- [Lynn] Mm-hmm, did you?

Well, why don't you say nine seconds to melt?

- I just really like it being a clock.

- [Lynn] You do?

- A clock would take 11 years by the clock.

- Okay, all right.

Vicki, we've got an A and a D. What do you say?

- I think I'll go with a clock.

If it's anything like the way I knit, I come back once every line, once every stitch, I think.

- I see.

So you think John was- - It would take me 11 years to hand make a clock.

- Took his time because he was making a clock.

Is that the right answer?

- [Announcer] The answer is A, a clock.

(audience applauding) John Fiester's Apostolic Clock, on display at the Hershey Museum of American Life, is more than 100 years old.

Fiester carved and painted nine inch figures of Jesus and his disciples.

The figures are mounted on a circular brass gear so that 15 minutes before each hour wooden doors open and the disciples circle in front of Jesus as he blesses each one.

Peter turns away just as the cock crows.

Then as Satan watches from different places, Judas fails to turn to Jesus.

(soft music) You can see the Apostolic Clock at the Hershey Museum of American Life.

- Boy, that's neat.

- And if you ever get a chance to go to Hershey, don't just go to the amusement park, go to the Museum of American Life 'cause it's got remarkable stuff in it.

We've got a remarkable score.

We've got Bernie and Vicki tied with one a piece.

Let's hear it for these two over here.

(audience applauding) (Vicki laughs) - Sheer luck.

Sheer luck.

- But lurking in the background, (laughs) clue number one for our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

And there'll be three clues altogether.

Clue number one is just after the turn of the 20th century, he returned to his birthplace to build a utopia.

He wanted to build a utopia.

So just after the turn of the 20th century, he went back home, the place where he was born, to try to build a utopia.

That may not give it to you 'cause there's not much of a clue.

But there'll be two more and they'll be a little plainer.

So think, panel.

You'll come up with it.

The name Weaver.

Weaver.

Weaver.

What shall we connect Weaver with?

Weaver?

- [Announcer] Victor Weaver started something in Philadelphia in 1937.

Weaver's name is still connected to that product.

Is the product A, music, B, chicken, C, rugs or D, toupees?

(bright music) - Okay, Victor Weaver, '37, Philly.

Weaver's name is still connected to the product.

What is the product, Bernie?

Is it music, chicken, rugs, or toupees?

Weaver.

- Well obviously a weaver makes rugs and that's why they it toupees.

Weavers, you see.

- I see.

Toupees are called rugs.

- Why, sure.

- I got it.

(audience laughs) That logic is impeccable.

Vicki?

- I think, let's try the obvious this time.

- The obvious rugs.

- Let's try rugs.

- [Lynn] Weaver, Weaver, Weaver.

- I'm going down all by myself with Weaver fried chicken because I know they make fried chicken.

And- - Chicken is B.

- It's a competition.

- You want a B up there.

Steve, you want a B and you put up the C. - [Stephen] Oh, I'm sorry.

- Oh, chicken rugs.

- You know a lot of things, but you don't know your letters real well yet.

There we go.

- I don't wanna be different that much.

- You ever heard of a folk singer named Pete Seeger and a group he sang with called The Weavers?

I wonder if there's any connection here.

Let's see.

- [Announcer] The answer is B, Chicken.

(audience applauding) Victor Weaver started with small poultry shops in Philadelphia.

By the 1950s, Weaver had expanded to the wholesale fresh and frozen cut up poultry market.

(cheerful music) The company moved to New Holland in Lancaster County where each year 26 million Pennsylvania chickens are processed for family tables all across America.

The company slogan is still "Nobody knows chicken like the folks at Weaver."

- Can you imagine processing that many chickens?

I mean, every day they put through hundreds and thousands of chickens and we don't appreciate the farmers that grow them and the processors.

We just buy 'em and cook 'em and eat 'em, but.

- [Stephen] And every one of those chickens was smiling.

(audience laughs) - They, yes.

(Lynn laughing) - Did you notice that?

- [Lynn] And naked.

They were unclothed.

- They were happy about it.

- We gotta put a little warning on this show.

Well, Weaver invented chicken.

Bill Brown of Pennsylvania invented something else.

It wasn't chicken, but we're gonna give you some choices.

Bill Brown's his name.

- [Announcer] Bill Brown was born in Philadelphia in 1911.

He began inventing things when he was just 14.

Just out of high school in 1932, his invention enabled him to win a national competition.

Did Bill Brown invent A, a soapbox derby, B, a pogo stick, C, a gasoline powered model airplane or D, a box kite?

- Bill Brown born in 1911, just outta high school.

1932 he was just outta high school and he started inventing things and his invention enabled him to win a national competition.

But was it a soapbox derby, a pogo stick, gasoline powered model airplane or a box kite?

One, two, three, four, five.

Vicki, it's your turn to start.

- Well, I'm a fan of hula hoops and Slinkies.

Let's try something I think that would delight children, would be a pogo stick.

- [Lynn] A pogo stick.

That's a bouncing answer.

Stephen?

Bill Brown.

It wasn't chicken.

That was Weaver invented chickens.

(Stephen chuckles) - Can I guess chicken again?

- No, no, no, no.

- That was right the last time.

- A chicken pogo stick.

- Box kites have been around for 2,000 years.

So that couldn't have been it.

- [Lynn] I see.

- I don't think it's- - [Lynn] Built with real boxes?

(Lynn and Stephen laugh) - How many Cub Scouts want pogo stick to be the answer?

- Well there's two, three, four.

Not a whole lot.

Five.

- There's six.

- Yeah, okay.

Many of them are putting an answer.

- Okay, they're putting in pogo stick.

- I'm going with pogo stick.

Uh-oh.

- Bernie?

- Well, I believe pogo stick is surely the greatest of those inventions.

- It certainly is.

- But I don't think they would've recognized it and given a prize for it.

- Don't you?

- So I think I'll go with the airplane.

- Okay.

(audience cheering quietly) - [Lynn] Why don't you, why would they have not given a prize for a pogo stick?

- Because they could not recognize soon enough what a great invention it was.

- What's the answer?

- [Announcer] The answer is C, a gasoline powered model airplane.

(audience applauding) Making a gasoline engine light enough for a model airplane had baffled engineers.

Bill Brown invented a miniature engine with 44 parts.

It weighed just 14 ounces, developed 1/10th horsepower with 4,500 RPMs.

His friend Maxwell Bassett built a model plane and the two boys amazed the model building world as they won three first places in a national contest, setting world records for model airplanes.

For the next five years, Bill Brown's company manufactured 5,000 engines a year.

(gentle music) - To hear about how small those little engines were and those little bitty pistons that went up and down, it really was truly remarkable for 1932.

- Sure.

- And nobody had invented a gasoline powered engine that would do.

Well, I said he was lurking, coming on strong.

He's within one, as Vicki is within one of our leader who is Bernie.

Let's hear it for Bernie Asbell.

(audience applauding) The game is not over until the Mystery Pennsylvanian.

And we still, anybody's ballgame here.

Clue number two to our famous, and this is a famous, Mystery Pennsylvanian, born on a Pennsylvania farm just before the Civil War, the Swiss, this Swiss descendant grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch and Pennsylvania Dutch is really Pennsylvania German because the word for German is Deutsche and it's Pennsylvania Deutsche, you see, when we say Dutch.

But this gentleman was born on a Pennsylvania farm just before the Civil War, Swiss descendant.

His family had been Swiss, grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch.

And again, the first clue was he returned to his birthplace to build a utopia.

He wanted to build an ideal community, a utopia.

You are all looking puzzled.

It's a very, it's a common name.

Somebody you've all heard of.

(contestants speaking indistinctly) If you wanna write to us, here's the address.

It's, let me think.

It's "The Pennsylvania Game" and it's Wagner Annex University Park, 16802.

You just write to us and we'd be glad to hear from ya, even if all you wanna do is say, "Hey, we really like the show."

Okay?

All right.

Let's take a look at the next one.

Oh yes, Congress and taxes.

They go together and they started right early.

But what did they start with?

That's the question.

- [Announcer] The constitution gave Congress the right to levy taxes to pay for the government.

The first tax, at the suggestion of Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, was an excised tax.

Did he place the tax on A, cotton, B, lumber, C, stamps or D, whiskey?

(cheerful music) - Okay.

First tax at the suggestion of Alexander Hamilton who was Secretary of the Treasury, I believe, at that time.

Congress said, "All right, we're gonna have taxes.

Let's have 'em."

But the question is, what'd they tax first?

Stephen Ragusea, it's your turn to start.

- Um.

- Uh-huh.

I see.

- I don't think they sold enough cotton to excise tax it and make much money.

At least not in this country 'cause they exported a lot of it.

Lumber seems to me to be a tough product to put an excise tax on because so many people could cut down their own and make their own houses and such with that.

Stamps are by their very nature a tax and therefore not worthy of taxation.

And therefore, booze has always been profitable as a taxable item.

So I'll go with whiskey.

- You went all that ways to get a drink is what you're saying to us.

Bernie, what do you say?

- Can't be stamps 'cause they were not invented until 1840.

Whiskey is the only thing that we have so much of and everybody is against.

- [Lynn] I see.

So tax it.

- He would've taxed it.

That's right.

- All right.

Vicki, what do you say?

- Well, I don't agree with Steve.

I mean before we built highways, condominiums, and swimming pools, there was a lot of lumber and you always tax what you can get a lot for.

Let's try B.

- You're trying lumber.

You say that they didn't, they couldn't tax stamps 'cause that's already a tax.

You said they didn't have stamps till 1840.

Didn't they have a stamp tax and wasn't that one of the things we fought the revolution over?

And wouldn't it be ironical if the first thing they taxed was stamps?

A-ha!

What's the answer?

- [Announcer] The answer is D, whiskey, which led to the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania.

John Neville, commander of Fort Pitt during the Revolution, stayed on after the war.

His estate was burned for supporting the tax.

David Bradford, a lawyer who owned the finest house in Washington, Pennsylvania, supported the rebellion.

Bradford fled to Louisiana territory, never to return, as the militia arrived to put down the whiskey rebellion in Western Pennsylvania.

(pleasant string music) - Nice going.

I gotta tell you that there are some fine places to visit in Pennsylvania.

The Bradford House in Washington, Pennsylvania where the troops were all dressed up like the, that's a fine place to visit.

And the other thing you saw, the Fort Pitt, there is a museum right there at De Point at Fort Pitt Museum in Pittsburgh and it has got some beautiful displays and models and replicas and you really ought to stop and see that.

The Whiskey Rebellion everybody thinks was just about whiskey.

It really wasn't.

It was almost a civil war back in the 1790s, East versus West.

And we came, I mean, that close all up and down 'cause the mountains divided the two.

And the people who farmed in the west had to get their crop to market.

And the only way to get the corn over the mountain was to distill it down so you could move it.

And when the Easterners started taxing their whiskey, it was, it got pretty close to war.

Thomas Slaughter has a new book about it that is just absolutely marvelous.

There's a lot more to it than just booze and drinking.

It's a marvelous history of the time.

Ever hear of the J.M.

Murdoch family of Johnstown?

Just the other day probably you were saying to your wife, "J.M.

Murdoch family."

They did something first back in- - [Bernie] Whatever happened to old J.M?

- Yeah.

- [Announcer] The J.M.

Murdoch family of Johnstown was the first to do this back in April 1908.

First to do what?

A, record a singing telegram, B, fly on a commercial airplane, C, drive an auto coast to coast or D, ride on a Ferris wheel?

- [Lynn] Oh, them Murdoch's were quite a bunch.

Bernie, what did they do first?

They were the first to do this in 1908, in April, by the way.

Singing telegram, fly in a commercial airplane, drive an auto coast to coast or ride on a Ferris wheel?

- I remember Steve and I once settled the whole Ferris wheel questions.

So it can't be that.

Do you remember that, Steve?

- Yeah, yeah.

- [Lynn] Yeah, you did.

George Washington Ferris, I believe is the fellow's name, yes.

A Pennsylvanian who invented it.

- And usually the most bizarre is the answer.

In this case, I don't think it's so.

I think 1908 might be the wrong time for somebody to try riding an auto from coast to coast.

And I think that's what he might have done.

- Okay, 1908.

Vicki?

- Well, let's see.

1908, the airplane's been invented.

That sounds like a fairly adventurous task.

- It sure does.

- Let's try fly on a commercial airplane.

- You don't think a family was, the families were into flying much on commercial airplanes until 1908.

Okay, that's likely.

I mean, that's not unlikely at all.

Steve?

- I don't have any doubt, any doubt but that C is the correct answer.

- I see.

However.

- But I'm going to go with A.

- I see.

- Because I think the whole idea of singing telegrams is great and I think 1908 is a great time to start it.

- Papa sang bass, Mama sang tenor, and the Murdoch family stood there in a booth and recorded.

What is the right answer here?

- [Announcer] The answer is C, drive an auto coast to coast.

(audience applauding) The Murdoch family left Pasadena, California on April 24th, 1908, driving a 1908 Packard.

They arrived in New York City 3,693 miles and 32 days later.

(pleasant music) - 1908, Packard, looked like to me it'd be a right comfortable trip for only about 30, 32 days in a Packard.

- That's about what it would be.

And imagine trying to find gas stations.

- Oh my, or a restroom even.

- That's right.

- Or a restaurant or anything.

How old were folks back when they were fighting the Revolution?

That's the question.

Yeah.

- [Announcer] On July 4th, 1776, our first Independence Day, half the people in the United States were under a certain age.

Was that age A, 16, B, 21, C, 25, or D, 30?

- And I will give you a clue here.

On July 4th, 1776, half the people in the United States were over a certain age and it's the same answer.

Now, Vicki, does that help?

(contestants laughing) - Not much.

- What was the median age in 1776 in this country?

- Well lifespan probably wasn't quite as long.

So they had to enjoy it as much as they, as much as they can, as fast as they can.

So let's say B, because that seems to be an age for driving, drinking.

- Okay, 21.

- Or voting.

- So the young people were saying, "Never trust anyone over 21."

Okay, Stephen?

- I'll go with C. - [Lynn] You're going with 25.

- They're all very close.

Everybody was very young at that time.

- [Lynn] So you say the 25.

Okay, Bernie?

- Well I heard that half the people in those early elections didn't vote.

So they must have been under 21.

- [Lynn] Because you couldn't vote until you were over 21, I see.

- That's right.

- Don't tell us it's 16.

- 16 would be awful young, wouldn't it?

What is the correct answer, sir?

- [Announcer] The answer is A, 16.

Three quarters were under 25.

(triumphant music) George Washington was a relatively old 43 while three of his ableist generals were in their early 30's and the fourth was just 25.

Alexander Hamilton was not yet 21.

And the Marquis de Lafayette was only 19.

The venerable Ben Franklin at age 70 was the elder statesman of the group.

- 70 was just sort of outta step with the whole population.

- Now he said that 3/4 were under 25.

So I think I deserve half credit.

- Well, okay, we'll give you half credit.

Steve is sneaking up, but not quite enough.

Bernie has really sneaked ahead a good bit.

Let's hear it for Bernie Asbell.

He's leading.

(audience applauding and cheering) You see, it's not about how many you get right.

It's how funny your answers are.

Let's go to clue number three.

- [Bernie] We all should have known it was 16.

- Listen to this.

The monuments to his memory include an orphanage, an amusement park, and a medical school.

He returned to his birthplace to build an ideal community, a utopia.

He was born on a Pennsylvania farm, of Swiss descent, grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch, and the monuments to his memory include an orphanage, an amusement park, and a medical school.

Stephen, it's your turn to go first.

What do you got?

- Mr. Hershey?

- [Lynn] Mr. Hershey.

Vicki, you get it?

Bernie, what do you have?

- I just realized it was Mr. Hershey and I did, it was too late for me to write it.

I get no credit.

- Do you think that Mr. Hershey might be the answer to it?

Is it?

Let's see.

- [Announcer] Although he had dropped out of school in the fourth grade, Milton Hershey was confident he could build a utopia.

(pleasant music) In 1903, ground was broken on 1200 acres near his birthplace.

In 1906, a contest was held to name the town with the prize going to a woman from Wilkes-Barre for Hershey Cocoa, shortened by the post office to just Hershey.

The chocolate factory made enormous profits and Milton Hershey put his money to work.

He bought another 486 acres to build an orphanage.

In 1933, in the midst of The Depression, he built Hotel Hershey to keep his workers employed.

Hershey Park is famous worldwide for its delightful entertainment.

And Penn State's Milton S. Hershey Medical School is another fitting tribute to the man behind the chocolate bar.

Milton Hershey, a famous Pennsylvanian.

- Thanks, panel.

Thanks Troop 44, studio.

Thanks to you.
