Governor William Bradford proclaimed a Thanksgiving day in the year 1G21 for the Pilgrims to offer thanks for the good har vests, and since 18(53 through ;i decree by President Abraham Lincoln, the celebration has been fixed as a legal holiday by Fed eral or State executives, usually falling on the last Thursday in November. Since that time it has been looked forward to as an annual festival season, a tin v fo‘ -p*‘ cial celebration programs and feasting. Some will have turkey and chicken, while others will have trood fresh hoe- meat on their tables today. The (bailees are that a turkey cobbler will be yours in time for Thanksgiving dinner and whbn you ar eating him you can eele brute with a clear conscience be cause everyone in the armed ser vices will be having ThanksgiV ing turke too. Nevertheless turkey is a sub ject fir speculation because ru mors of turkey shortages are fly ing thick and fast, ltere are the facts as relayed by the Olfice of Price Administration from a re port by the War Pood Adminis There will be a turkey short age in some areas, due to a late hatch, heavy purchase for the Armed Forces at,id hick of labor to dress the birds. Anyhow, from now on, if you do see it turkey in the stoic, lie's legitimate food for civilians, as the embargo on turkeys for civi lians has been lifted. Further more OPA has already establish ed dollars and-ceiits top legal prices on turkeys, whether sold Nutrition exports in OPA Imve worked out a practically “point free” menu for ’llianksgivinn' or Christmas dinner with Kinn Tur key as the center ol' it all With certain minor changes- it can he less point-expensive. You can do it with chicken, too. Point slioppintr list: One li cence package of cream cheese, o, . brown point: one can pump ki :10 15 preen points; and 1 i iwn points for cooking and t. ole fats. If \ou’re sutieczed on most points, drop the cheese from the appetizer sticks. Instead, ehof peanuts, mix with lemon juice enough mayonnaise to make ; paste, spread on bread sticks am pop under the broiler. • And il you make apple pie, sprinklinp the juick tilling generously with choped pecans, you won't ueei that can of pumpkin either.
