The Story of Milton Hershey by Phil Shapiro Milton Hershey 1857-1945 1 Almost every kid in this country has at one time or another eaten a Hershey chocolate bar. Hershey chocolate has become famous around the world. But did you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is only about one hundred years old? And did you know that the founder of Hershey Chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures in business before he started his famous company? 2 Milton Hershey grew up in the rolling farm country of Pennsylvania. Before he became interested in making chocolate, Milton Hershey trained to become a printer. He worked for a small newspaper at first, and then decided that printing was not the right profession for him. 3 Then he got a job at a candy factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a few miles from his home. After working a few years at the candy factory, he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia. His first business had to close down because it was not making money. After closing down his first business, he traveled to Denver, Colorado, to learn how to make caramels. Copyright © 2012. All rights reserved.

But this second business also failed. 5 Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to the farm hills where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolates. The area where he lived had lots and lots of dairy farms, so he had a large and easy supply of fresh milk. 6 And he could get other supplies, such as sugar, from nearby Philadelphia. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy per year. Since his chocolate-dipped and his chocolate-flavored caramels were the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself. 7 By experimenting, Milton Hershey learned how to make delicious chocolate by using fresh, sweet condensed milk. His milk chocolates were so popular that he sold his caramel factory and focused his business on making chocolate only. 8 In 1903, the same year the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane at Kitty Hawk, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire town to go with it. The town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, had a streetcar line, schools, library, sports arena, community center and a special school for needy children. 9 Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you ever visit, you can smell the delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town. 10 The factory is not so hard to find. Just travel down to Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at the traffic light and just follow your nose. Hershey’s Kisses were first introduced in 1907. Copyright © 2012.

A Bear of a Job by Peter Winkler Introduction: In late 2010 the pair of giant pandas’ 10-year loan arrangement with the National Zoo expired. However, Chinese officials reached an agreement with the National Zoo to keep the pair of giant pandas in Washington, D.C. for five additional years, until December 2015. 1 Can the National Zoo’s new pandas help their endangered Chinese cousins to survive? 2 Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are giant pandas that were born in China, the only country where wild pandas live. China has lent the pair to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., for Mei Xiang and Tian Tian eat together at the National Zoo. ten years. In exchange, the zoo will contribute a million dollars each year to help protect wild places, plants, and animals in China. 3 Two million people have lined up to watch the furry celebrities since they went public last January. Zoogoers see incredibly cute animals who play and wrestle. But is that all? Scientists hope that panda fans will also see the face of an animal that needs our help. People Pandas 4 What makes pandas so popular? For starters, they’re rare. Only five other pandas live in the entire United States—two in Atlanta and three in San Diego. Copyright © 2011. All rights reserved. Educational institutions within the State of Washington have permission to reproduce this document. All other individuals wishing to reproduce this document must contact OSPI. 25 NON-SECURE MATERIALS MAY BE COPIED BY WASHINGTON STATE EDUCATORS FOR INSTRUCTIONAL USE 5 Some scientists see deeper reasons for pandas’ popularity. Strange as it sounds, the black-and-white critters may remind us a little of ourselves. Like humans, pandas can sit up straight. They have clear personalities, and they seem to share our boundless curiosity. 6 Pandas also have round heads, fat cheeks, and big eyes—as do human babies. And, like kids learning to walk, pandas have their awkward moments. Add lots of fur, and the animals seem cuddly. Two “Thumbs” Up! 7 There’s another reason why pandas fascinate us—their “thumbs.” Each front paw has five “fingers” plus a lump of bone that sticks out like a thumb. Panda “thumbs” don’t move, but they’re very handy. The animals hold things by bending their “fingers” toward their “thumbs.” 8 Scientists believe that panda “thumbs” are an adjustment to living in China’s bamboo forests. Pandas use their paws to grasp, break, hold, and eat pieces of the wild grass. 9 Bamboo Cage For Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, bamboo is just one tasty item on a menu that zookeepers provide. They also get special biscuits and treats. But for pandas who live in the wild, bamboo is Panda Habitat in China life. Each day, an average adult crunches 25 to 100 pounds of bamboo. Wild pandas eat almost nothing else. Because of this limited diet, pandas must live where they are surrounded by bamboo. The animals cannot survive anywhere else. 10 Pandas once lived in much of eastern China. But the country’s human population grew rapidly. People needed space for farms and towns, so they cut down huge portions of the bamboo forests. In the past 25 years, pandas have lost half their habitat. 11 CHINA Areas where pandas live today Areas where pandas once lived 12 Protecting Pandas As their world disappears, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian’s wild relatives have become endangered. Only 1,000 or so of these beloved bears remain in the wild. Some scientists wonder how long the animal group can survive. Copyright © 2011. All rights reserved.

Working with conservationists, Chinese officials have developed plans for protecting pandas. 14 The heart of the plan is preserving panda habitat. To create larger reserves, or safe places, for pandas, the Chinese government sometimes pays farmers and loggers to move somewhere else. 15 Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are part of the plan, too. These clowns have two big jobs while they’re in Washington, D.C. First, wildlife experts hope the dynamic duo will promote interest in saving pandas. And then everyone hopes they’ll start a family.

Fishing Is for the Birds by Susan Day 1 2 If you go fishing at a pond, lake, or bay and think you are alone, think again. You might have a fishing buddy you didn’t invite—the feathered kind. Some birds fish, too. You probably use various lures and bait to catch your fish. Fishing birds also use a variety of ways to catch their fish. Great Gulp! Depending on how tall you are, one of the most common fishing birds might be almost as tall! The great blue heron is easy to remember because it is great—almost four feet tall with gray-blue plumage (feathers). Great blue herons are called wading birds. A great blue heron walks slowly in shallow water and stops when it finds a good fishing hole. It patiently stands still until a small fish or frog swims past. It grabs the fish with its long dagger-like bill and flips it into its mouth. Then, with a big “Gulp,” the fish is eaten! Great Blue Heron Green Football Fisher Another bird that spends a lot of time near water is the green-backed heron. This chunky bird looks sort of like a dark green football when it crouches in the water fishing. Green-backed herons are harder to find than great blue herons. They perch on low twigs or branches of trees and bushes along the shore. They’re very patient and stay in the same position for a long time waiting for a fish to swim by. When it does, they grab it with their sharp, pointed bills. Egret Rockers Sometimes people try all sorts of fancy tricks Green-backed Heron to catch fish. Fishing birds have some tricks of their own. One of the oddest bird fishers is the snowy egret. It dips its long black bill into the water to catch the fish. Up and down. Up and down. It looks like a graceful white rocker going up and down in a weird egret ballet. Other times, it walks quickly in the shallow water and drags its feet to stir up fish. Copyright © 2010.

The wing casts a shadow. Fish swim under the shadow for shade. And guess what? The egret gets dinner! 6 Can you guess why they’re called snowy egrets? Because they’re as white as snow! 7 Bill Like a Spoon Do you know which wading bird has a bill shaped like a spoon and is rosy-colored? A roseate spoonbill! This bird “feels” for food in shallow water, moving its bill back and forth looking for fish. When it senses a fish, it snaps its bill shut. Roseate Spoonbill Belted Kingfisher Snowy Egrets Dive Bombs and Belly Flops Other birds catch fish using the dive-bomber technique. Bald eagles and osprey circle high above the water using their eyes to spot fish. Osprey are sometimes called fish hawks because their entire diet is fish. They dive straight down, feet first, and snare the fish with the sharp talons on their feet. Bald eagles glide over the water; in a graceful, downward swoop, they grasp the fish with their feet. Both bald eagles and osprey carry their meal to a tree or land before they eat it. Kingfishers, brown pelicans, and gulls also fish from the air. But they swoop down and catch fish in their Osprey mouths instead of with their feet. The bird that even has fish in its name—the kingfisher—eats only fish. Kingfishers hover over the water flapping their wings. Then they dive headfirst to snatch a fish. When a brown pelican dives, it makes a giant splash that sounds just like a belly flop when it lands on the water. Then it scoops the fish into its big pouch and swallows. American white pelicans don’t dive, but swim together in groups and skim fish with their huge bills. Copyright © 2010. All rights reserved.

Loons, grebes, and puffins are excellent swimmers. First they float on the surface. Then they dive and swim underwater to catch their fish. They can stay down for almost a minute while they follow the fish. Then their heads pop up above the water. They don’t even need diving equipment! Common Puffin 11 The anhinga and cormorant are two other examples of fishing birds. They dive, and then swim with their heads barely below the surface. Like herons, they catch their fish with their bills—only anhingas and cormorants do their fishing from under the water. Then they perch on low branches with their wings spread out to dry before they can fly again. 12 Don’t get discouraged if you go fishing and fail to catch lots of fish. Birds don’t always have great fishing luck either. They just keep trying until they’re full. Sometimes you may not catch fish, but you just might catch a look at a bird catching a fish! And that may be just as much fun. Head of Cormorant Anhinga Wings Copyright © 2010. All rights reserved.
