THANKSGIVING
: DINNER IS PLAN
FOOD ADMINISTRATORS RIoRDAN
SUGGESTS NOVEL IDEA FOR
CELEBRATION.

CELEBRATION.
Thanksgiving, 1918, will be the
greatest in all history. This year this
memorable day set aside, as of old, for
rejoicing and thanksgiving will be
] made trebly significant through
events of victory and peace. So de-
clares Timothy A. Riordan, federal
! food administrator for Arizona, who is
exceptionally anxious that the occa-
sion be celebrated in the new spirit of
| American thrift.
To this end he suggests an allAri-
IONA Thanksgiving; every item of
which shall represent some Arizona
product and urges that all house
holders and all public eating houses
join in the movement as demonstra-
ton to the world that Arizona is self
supporting.
By statewide adoption of this
plan, it is pointed out, thousands of
dollars will be saved which otherwise
would have been spent in transports
ton Of food commodities from otter
states,
There is plenty of turkey in Arr
IONA; Arizona turkeys are the latest
and best favored in the land. Yes,
and chickens too, instead of beef and
pork which are needed for shipment;
plenty of gravy to save butter for ship
ment: wild rabbit and other game for
those who are fortunate enough to
have them.
Pies will need only one crust filled
deep with fruit and vegetables Gran
berries are taboo; current, grape and
apple jellies will take their place; ma
tive nuts and cactus candy will round
out the menu.
Hotel and restaurant men through
out the state have pledged their sup
port in making the plan success as
far as public eating houses are con-
cerned Many of them have specified
their willingness to serve the official
Thanksgiving menu suggested by the
food administration, which is as fol-
lows:
Arizona Grape Fruit Supreme.
Cream of Chicken.
Arizona Blue Ribbon Celery
Arizona Ripe Olives.
Chicken Patties.
Roast Salt River Valley Turkey.
Roast Salt River Valley Goose.
(Choice of one).
Arizona Currant Jelly.
Arizona Raked Annie.
Flagstaff Baked Potatoes.
Arizona Fried Egg Plant.
Arizona Fruit Salad.
Tempe Fresh Date Pudding-Orange
Sauce.
Arizona Almond Ice Cream.
Arizona Cream Cheese and Crispettes.
Arizona households have not been
forgotten and all loyal families are
expected to plan an all-Arizona
Thanksgiving dinner. The home eco
nomics division of the Food Admins
tration has prepared a number Of

and yet suitable to households who
desire an elaborate dinner. 1t is as

paprika or omit paprika and use fine
ly chopped pimientos. Add enough
