"O the grand old pilgrim father
William Bradford, governor OK
the original New England colo
MES, belongs the honor Of being
the first to proclaim in America gen
eral thanksgiving day which should be
a festival as well as day Of thanks
giving. The month Of November, 1923,
had been weary one to the bitterly
tried pilgrims. Their months Of toll
and patient waiting for the ingathering
of the harvest seemed about to end in
the deepest disappointment. The earth
was parched, the whole land cried out
for rain. and the crops were being
ruined for lack Of moisture. It was
under these depressing conditions that
Pilgrim Father Bradford called together
the little band Of settlers and set apart
q day to be devoted to fasting and
prayer that the CLASSY skies might be-
come cloud covered and the windows
OF heaven be opened to give life to the
thirst dying fields.
It did not look promising for a day
Of thanksgiving, and yet circumstances|
changed the day appointed for fasting
and prayer to one Of rejoicing, feasting
and thankfulness. The pilgrims were
in the very act of praying for rain

when rain came. It came in such
floods and 1t came so OPPORTUNITY that
the pilgrim fathers were convinced
that Providence had smiled on the little
band Of forlorn men, women and chill
dren who. driven from their own homes.
had been forced to pitch their tents on
the wild and inhospitable shores Of q
foreign land.
William Bradford in his proclama-
ton had called the day a feast OF
thanksgiving, and the best hunters In
the colony had been securing the adj
iacent woods for wild turkeys and
other game to supply the wants Of the
colonists and their guests. The
Kitchens Of the pilgrims were crude
and rough, but the good danes did
their best, and the result was a repast
satisfying and sumptuous enough for
the most exacting. The menu con-
sisted Of roast turkey dressed with
beechnuts, venison pasties such al
the pilgrim mothers knew SO well how
to make. sayory meat stews with
dumplings Of barley -four. clam chow
der served in enormous bowls with
sea biscuits floating on the surface.
roasts of all kinds. broiled fish. salads.
cakes and plum porridge. Lastly.
there was a bountiful supply Of
oysters, the contribution Of Massasoit
and his ninety warriors to the drst
Thanksgiving bin Of fare. The great
est dinner Of the festival was given on
Saturday. the last day Of the celebra-
ton. History chronicles that it was
one of the loveliest days of the In
dian summer. and 50 mild was thei
weather that the good pilgrim damest

all our own. He was not known until

was first seen In the Carolinas. and
when specimens were carried over to
Europe they were hailed as 1.-The most
beautiful present made by the new
world to the old" 1t Is curious fact.

vailed as to the true source of the fowl.

the turkey as ''larger domestic fowl.

what were any Of these as compared
with the American turkey?

TWO bridges instead of three, and
brings the people to the wooded por-
