Turkey-Day Dinner
ELK RIVER, Minn. (UPI)
r Give thanks to science for all
that lush meat on the holiday
t turkey.
Undoubtedly, the Pilgrims
' were equally grateful for the
turkeys served at that first
festive Thanksgiving but
. those wild specimens must
' have taken long hours of cook
ing and strong jawbones for
eating.
One poultry specialist, Dr.
Norman Magruder of an . ani
mal research farm here, said
the forerunners of today's
quick roasting, plump and
juicy specimens must have
been stringy, tough and dry,
the skin leathery. "They ate
whole grains," he explained,
"and would be greasy from
picking up a lot of resins and
oils that domestic birds don't".
Even bo, Magruder noted,
that early bird had one thing
: going for it the Pilgrims
didn't have to wrestle with
turkey leftovers the week after
the feast. A wild turkey prob-
. able weighed about 10 pounds
on the hoof, which didn't leave
much for the table. It probably
took about 10 hours to roast
it, too. '
The pampered specimens
served up today are the result

of genetics, breeding, disease
control and scientifically form
ulated feeds. They're pamper
ed with soybean meal, corn,
fish meal, animal and vegeta
ble fats, antibiotics, minerals
and generous offerings of pro
tein fortification.
The wild turkey's diet, Mag
ruder figured, was acorns,
berries and wild grains and
the constant foraging for foods
turned him into a sinewy spec
imen. As one Pilgrim wrote, a tur
key could "runne as fast as a
dogge and f lye as well as' a
goose." ,
Benjamin Franklin once pro
posed that the turkey, not the
bald eagle, be the national em
blem, but he did not go so far
as to propose that roast eagle
be favored at holiday time.
He called the eagle a bird of
"bad moral character' 'and
the turkey a bird of courage
that "would not hesitate to at
tack a grenadier of the Brit
ish guard."
MOON CLOCK
NEW YOR K(UPI) The
absence of air pressure on the
surface of the moon creates a
special problem for designers
of a special tuning fork clock
for Project Apollo's moon
landing craft.
The clock will use two tun
ing forks a "master" and
a standard, Bulova Watch Com
pany reports, and the master
fork will be enclosed within a
pressurized chamber inside the
clock case. If unpressurized,
the fork would "gain time" at
. the rate of 21 seconds a day
while on the moon's surface.

By DENNIS SANDERS
Special To The DTH
Hal Carter, Alan Seymour's
buddy, likes Alan's girl,
Madge Owens. Madge's sister,
Millie, likes Hal, but Madge's
and Millie's mother, Flo, dis
trusts him. Howard Bevens
likes fun with no responsibil
ity and Rosemary Sydney,
the old maid school teacher,
is after Howard, her last
chance to the altar.
A merry-go-round? Almost.
In "Picnic," William Inge's
Pulitzer Prize - winning three
act play now at the Raleigh
Durham Barn Dinner Theater,
you can't tell all the players
without a scorecard.
"Picnic" is the light, fast
moving story of what happens
to these small-town Kansans
over a 24-hour period in the
front yard shared by Flo Ow
ens (Joanne Marsic) and Hel
en Potts (Ruth Noble).
It is, moreover, a study in
human nature.
It all begins when a high
school dropout, Hal Carter,
comes to Mrs. Potts looking
for odd jobs, the usual prac
tice of the roaming bum. And
Hal, who is played adequate
ly if not well by Jon Barron,
is a bum, largely through no
real fault of his own. (His
mother ran around on his al
coholic father, who was bur
ied on pauper's row when he
died. This is hardly the en
vironment that gives the
world its best citizens.)
Alan and Madge are two
mis-matched teenagers who
nevertheless are dating stead
ily. He is portrayed, very
calmly and with no fanfare,
by Bill Catusi, as a studious,
mature person who has an
amazing perception of. what is
really going on in the world.
Madge - played by Rosita'
Palabay, an actress with three'
television shows to her credit
ees Madge as a cute, pe
tite and even sexy girl with
love on her mind ... if she
can hunt down the right guy.
Miss Palabay's experience,
clearly shows up in her work
here.
Hal, played by Jon Barron,
who forces his way through
the role with little skill, is the
stranger and is uneasy, but
no more so than Flo, who mis
trusts men in general because
of her own misfortune. She is
a typical mother, looking out
for her offspring, but Joanne
Marsic is too young for the
part. She is probably the
weakest link in the dramatic
chain. ,
Flo and Helen Potts have
scheduled a picnic for t h e
young folks because of t h e
"excitement, and mystery"
such gatherings can generate.
But Hal is afraid to go: "I've
never been m a picnic be
fore." Alan: "You went on some
with the fraternity."
Hal: "But you know what

they turned out to be."
Hal is afraid of himself and
for Jiimself. He is looking for
something more stable than
he, and, for a. while, Alan was
this bench mark. It soon be
comes Madge, and therein lies
the break with Alan, who can
not maintain friendship with
his girl's lover.
The events of the day, in
cluding the picnic, at which
everyone ends up with some
one else, move quickly to the
end of the play.
Stage manager Pasquale
Antoniello has done an excel
lent job with a small stage
bordered by the audience,
which spends a good deal of :
the evening pouring drinks
and clinking ice in glasses.
His props are realistic, al
though they are simple. Di
rector Tony Calabrese's work
is the result of 32 productions
seven for the Barn and
it shows. He keeps the atten
tion focused, not such an easy
job with eight performers on
a small stage most of the
time.
Supporting roles here are
well done, save for Flo's. Mil
lie, the jealous and impish
younger sister of Madge, is
portrayed as a not-so-naive
kid who is ugly at first glance
but grows on you. She is at
her best coughing when she
tries her first cigarette, chok-'"
ing on her first liquor, and
stuffing padding into her dress
just before the picnic.
The interplay between two
characters, though, is worthy
of morej than praise. Rose
mary, the teacher, played by
Carol Sue Maxson, is the per
fect hypocrite; she is pious
and a do-gooder until she hits

A banker today is a lot more than a money
specialist who waits for the community to come
to him. He's a well-rounded, imaginative indi
vidual who knows how to present a package of
financial services' to fill his client's needs. He's
professionally involved with every kind of busi

problems of emerging nations. And he can't be
pigeonholed because versatility is one of the
keys to his success.
He has job status and pride of profession.
And his compensation and employee benefits
are the envy of many.
His training is thorough and guided by expe
