NOVEMBER 20
Gov. Broughton Follows
Sentiment Of Majority
For 3rd Thursday
North Carolina will . celebrate
ThanksKiving this year on Novem
ber 20 the third Thursday in
November (rovernor Broughton
announced in Raleigh Monday.
Thus, the state for the first
time will follow the precedent .set
by President Koosexelt in advanc
ing the Thanksgiving date by one
week. Former truvernor ' Ho'ey
twice declined to follow the presi
dent, and North Carolina observed
n!d ThanksL'ivinu" in 1939. and
1M0. . v ;
ljroughtoh iued the following
i statement :
"Thursday, ' November 20, w hich
is the third Thursday in Nbvember,
will this year be designated offi
cially as Thanksgiving day in
North Carolina. This will follow
the . precedent set by President
Roosevelt in designating the third
instead of the fourth Thursday of
November as Thanksgiving day. It
is understood that the president
during the remainder of his term
in office will continue to designate
the third Thursday as Thanksgiv
' .ing day.
"1 am making this announce
ment at this time because requests
have come from many quarters
that such information be given.
Schedules of various, events for the
fall are in many cases contingent
m the designation of Thanksgiv
ing day, and many of these sche
dules are printed far in advance.
"While my personal preference
would be for the fourth Thursday
in November, which is the Thanks
giving day to Which, we have been
accustomed, I am yielding my pref
erence to what seems to be an
overwhelming sentiment in favor
of the newly disigaate'd day.
' "Last year 32 states of the un
ion followed the president in des
ignating the third Thursday as
Thanksgiving day. There are indi
cations that even a larger number
this year will follow such designa
tion. 1 have received from every
section of North Carolina numer
ous letters and Other communica
tions about the matter and they
are in the ratio of about ten to
one in favor of the new date. In
deference to this sentiment and
in keeping with the great majority
of other states. I shall follow, this
new designation this year and dur
ing the succeeding years of. my
administration,"
