PLENTY OF TURKEY
FOR THANKSGIVING
SAYS FOOD HEAD

WASHINGTON, November 25-
Plenty of turkey for Thanksgiving;
also chickens, ducks and geese.
This is the comforting assurances
from the United States Food Admins
tration today. And the statement was
not made until after a survey Of the
poultry situation in all parts of the
country.
The Food Administration was
prompted to make an inquiry into the
available supply of turkeys and other
poultry by numerous requests from
virtually every state for Thanksgiv-
ing dinner menu in keeping with food
conservation for world relief. To pre-
pare a universal menu it was neces-
sary to know what supplies were in
reach for the annual feast With this
information in hand. the following is
suggested for family of five or six
persons:
Roast turkey, chicken, duck, goose
or game, if the state law permits, with
bread dressing, made from leftover
dried bread, or Oriental stuffing.
Mashed potatoes, mashed turnips,
baked tomatoes (home cannedD, cram
berry sauce, lettuce or fruit salad,
pumpkin pie or steamed pudding.
Where there happens to be a short
age or over-supply of poultry or vege-
tables in certain localities, changes in
the menu in keeping with the local
situation should be made. Use of To-
cal products is advocated so as to les
sen the burden of rail transportation.
