and Susie so they won't demand too
much turkey and so defeat your grand
plan to use the royal bird econom-
ically. There is a big tomato crop
this year and the juice is not expen-
sive. Or have vegetable soup, buy
ing a dimes worth of soup vegetables
or a can of mixed vegetables, to put
with meat stock if you have it on
hand.
Then, necessarily, there must be
something to De nibbled while Father
carves the turkey. Sailed peanuts
a few cents worth. Radishes, made
into attractive radish roses, if you
have time; some of your own good
homemade pickles. You don't have
to serve celery and olives if you wish
to cut corners-theyu never be
missed.
When 1t comes to deciding on the
vegetables, you can make some changes
from last years menu and have a
meal just as well balanced. Sweet po-
tatoes are plentiful and low priced
this year, and almost everybody likes
them. Take your choice of candied
sweets. sweet potatoes scalloped with
canned pineapple or raisins or apples,
Evening star., 1935-11-24

or just boiled sweet potatoes, mashed
and reheated in a baking dish until
they are nicely Drowned. These are
good ways to cook sweet potatoes even
if the turkey does fill up most of the
oven, because they can be boiled first
and finished of in the lower oven,
or in the upper oven after the turkey
is taken out. Wen get around to the
management of the dinner later.
Ifyou have sweet potatoes, you don't
need white ones. People used to think
that by serving both kinds they were
having two different vegetables. But
the food values of white and sweet
potatoes are so similar, especially with
regard to starch, that serving both is
like serving two helpings of either
one. 1t is true that white potatoes
have a little iron and other minerals,
but sweet potatoes have one food
value that white potatoes lack-their
rich vitamin A content, in common
with other yellow fleshed- vegetables.
Of course the giblet gravy which you
will probably make goes particularly
well with mashed or baked white po-
tatoes and stufing. As for that stuff
fng-make any kind you like, only

sauce. OF these, the cabbage and car
rots are the best from the vitamln
standpoint. Beets look attractive, but
do not have much food value. If
you decide on beets it would be well
to serve small salad of chopped raw
vegetables. not as a separate course,
but as side dish which is eaten with
the main course. A little salad like
this adds to the appearance of the
table If it is in place when dinner is
served, as well as the appetizer or
tomato juice cocktail, and does not
require serving separately. Choose two
or three kinds from shaved cabbage,
grated carrot and turnips, celery cubes,
minced green peppers, and thinly
sliced onions, and place them, mixed
with French dressing, on q lettuce
leaf. And don't forget that cranberry
sauce contributes some vitamins.
All these suggestions about vege-
tables are on the economy side, yet no
one can feel that the meal is not in
teresting or bountiful. Almost too
bountiful for those who are saving
some room for dessert. Traditionally
that dessert will be pumpkin pie-both
economical and toothsome. If you
don't care for pumpkin pie, you might
have mince pie, or cranberry and
raisin pie Gin which case you don't
need the cranberry sauce. No dupli-
cations in a good menuD If you
choose cranberry and raisin pie, you

plenty Of 1t, and remember when serv-
ing that stufing adds to the starchy
foods of the meal along with the po-
tatoes and whatever kind of bread
you have. Be liberal-but not too
generous-with these starchy foods.
THE second vegetable should supply
some of the other vitanin values
every ell-balanced meal should have.
At other Thanksgivings you have per-
haps featured brussels sprouts, or
broccoli or cauliflower. Broccoli is not
unduly high this year, as there is a
good crop. Spinach is abundant and
good, too, at this time of year. Per-
haps you can chop it fine and cream
it, in the French way, or make an at
tractive mold of spinach that will seem
out of the ordinary and not cost much.
Brussels sprouts and caulihower re-
main in the list Of scarcer vegetables
from year to year, apparently, so If
you must really economic, you will
turn to other garden favorites. Or
possibly you can depend on some OF
the vegetables you have stored. just
dress them up in new clothes and
they'll solve the problem.
For instance, cabbage au gratin

grated cheese and crumbs on top);
large onions scalloped or stuffed with

and ~. S.-Commercial" (C). Young
and mature birds must be so labeled
And, as we are interested in an eco
nomical buy, a mature hen Of (B) or
Co grade will be satisfactory.
Turkeys in these grades must be
plump and well-fleshed on the breast,
thighs and back; it may have more
pin feathers than grade (A) bird,
and possibly one or two skin abrasions
or slight discolorations, but these de-
fects will not interfere with its eating
quality although they will influence
the price. The turkey should not have
broken wings or legs or a crooked
breast bone that would make it hard
to carve. A good many turkeys have
slight dents in the breast bone, but II
not over half an inch deep, these do
not disqualify them.
A MATURE hen turkey will weigh
IA from 12 to IS pounds. Allowing
from one-half to three-quarters pound
per person in the market weight this
turkey will permit 20 or more servings.
Or, put it this way: If you have eight
at the table on Thanksgiving Day you
can most certainly count on turkey
for two other dinners If you buy a
IL to IA pound turkey.
The next problem is what to serve
with the turkey. Beginning the meal
with an appetizer or soup course is a
good idea for several reasons, among
them that it gives holiday air to the
occasion. It makes the table look fes-
tive. And it helps to satisfy little Bill

That this was a harvest festival
cannot be disputed, comments DR..
w. De Loss Love, jr., in Fast and
Thanksgiving Days of New England" !"
But" he continues, sit has generally
been termed the first autumnal
Thanksgiving in New England, and
some have supposed that it was the
Inauguration of a continuous series
of thanksgiving occasions. Such Is
not the fact It was not a day
set apart for religious worship, but
whole week of festivity. No religious
service is spoken Of, and it is not
likely that any was held, other than
the customary morning devotions.

bounded the week were probably per-

the greatest of apprehension, for the
colonists well knew their very lives de-
pended upon what would be brought
forth. Autumn came and the harvest
was bountiful enough to revive the
dropping spirits of the Pilgrims.
What followed then is described in
Mourt's Relation, or Journal Of the
Plantation at Plymouth. in these
words:
"Our harvest being gotten in, our
Gouvernour sent foure men on fowl
ing, that so we might after more
special manner reiouce together, after
we had gathered the fruit Of our

traces its beginnings back to the Sax
ons. In some parts of England there
still are found picturesque survivals Of
the customs relating to the feast.
TRADITION dates the American
Thanksgiving back to 1921, the
year following the landing of the Pill
grims, and the impression has attained
vitality through the fact that the New
England calendar recognized the holi-
day long before 1t became general
through the country.
During the Winter" writes Robert
Haven Schauffler, ''the little colony
had been sorely tried. Only IS of the
101 settlers remained alive. They had
suffered cold, hunger and disease, and,
as one Of them confesses, they had
been terrified by the roar Of lyons.
Wolves had sat on their tayles and
grinned at them while the Indians
had proved still more formidable"
Most of the 1921, following this soul
chilling Winter, was one Of anxiety in
Plymouth. The seed which had been
sown in the Spring was watched with

peared later among the Hebrews as an
act of worship to Jehovah and was
called the Feast of Tabernacles. In
Deuteronomy, Moses gave specific di-
rections for It's keeping, while In Levitt
icus the command is, when We have
gathered in the fruit and the land, ye
shall keep a feast unto the Lord"
Pagan Greece and Rome, too, had
their Thanksgiving season in honor of
the harvest deities, nor was 1T un-
known to the aborigines of the New
World. At Athens, in November, this
feast, called Thesmophoria, was cele-
brated by married women only, and
two wealthy and distinguished mem
bers of the sex were chosen to prepare
the sacred meal, which corresponded
to the Thanksgiving dinner Of today.
The Romans, on each october 4. wor-

ball game-and that Is no Thanksgiv-
ing at all!
Now, with the things all definitely
settled in our minds let's go out and
look the field over with our practical
home economic expert. All meals, says
she, should be as good as possible. And
that goes for this occasion as well as
others. Wise buying, careful planning,
good cooking and seasoning will do the
trick.
The first thing to be considered is
the turkey. How large should it be?
Let us take tip from the crop report
above. 1t says that heavier, more ma
ture birds will cost less per pound
than lighter, younger ones. So let's
find out the point at which the lower
prices begin and buy the smallest ma
ture bird we can find, counting ou the
extra poundage, If the turkey weighs
more than we need for Thanksgiving
dinner, to go for some Of the days fol-
lowing Thanksgiving. One housewife
always expects to serve turkey pie the
Sunday afterward, and turkey hash
and soup as long as the turkey lasts.
With a good refrigerator and we'll
cooked bird there should be no diff
Guilty about this.
Now comes the selection of the tur-
key. Do you know how to do this to
your advantage? Well, the very first
thing is to ask to see Government
graded turkeys. These should not cost
any more than the others and you are
sure of what you are getting. If you
are not fortunate enough to find these,
then use the same general points for
judging what your dealer has to offer.

THANKSGIVING in Plymouth Had Origin Among Ancents

but Bradford's History and Mout's
Relation indicate that it took place
between September 23 and November
II, probably in November.
There is extant no copy Of the
menu on that historic occasion, but
there seems ample evidence that the
viands were bountiful and diverse.
The colonists had made the acquaint-
ance Of the oyster, which the Indians
brought, and they had doubtless also
made known to the settlers the best
varieties of fish. Game was brought
in from the woods in abundance, from
partridge to venison, and, above all,
turkey, which became the central
symbol Of Thanksgiving and has re-
manned so to this day, in spite Of
hiatuses in observance Of the holiday.
There were barley loaves and cakes
of Indian meal and vegetables Of
many kinds. The season of most fruits
had departed. but there were still

YITH logically less elatlon
than the rest of humanity,
wv the housewife looks forward
to next Thursday. To the
members of her family, relatives and
friends, Thanksgiving may be a ira
ditional feast day, but for the house
wife it is a day of serious RESPONSE
bility.
Come next Thursday afternoon or
evening, and the fanished family and
friends will pour in upon her. They
will come from the foot ball stadium,
the race track, the woods, where they
have been hunting, and the dozen and
one other places of play for those to
whom Thanksgiving is truly holiday.
The housewife must be ready for
them. She must have set the stage
for one of the most complete feasts
of the year-and her arrangements
must have been perfected down to the
smallest detail.
Central figure in the drama which
the housewife is directing, of course,
Is the turkey, the essence of the tradi-
ton of Americas day of gratitude.
Down at the Agricultural Depart
ment specialists say that, If you plan
to have turkey this year, you must
expect 1t to cost rather more than last
year. But-and this is comforting
thought-there are ways to keep down
expenses to moderate amount.
The reason for the probable higher
price of turkeys this year, say those
experts whose duty it is to keep tab
on such things for Uncle Sam, is that
there are fewer of the birds, especially
the smaller family size. Texas and
North Dakota in particular, both great
turkey producing States, have much
reduced crops. A good deal of the
decrease is centered in the farm focks
rather than the commercial f1ocks, but
the latter now have mostly heavier
birds.
Commercial turkey raisers disposed
, of many of their smaller birds last
year on account of the drought. And
ordinarily the large, heavier birds are
bought by restaurants and hotels. It
is the smaller bird that goes to the
family table.
However, says Mrs. Government E;x-
pert, interviewed on the subject of the
Thanksgiving dinner. get turkey. but
make what savings you can on the
rest of the dinner. Or. If this does not
seem to fit in with your scheme of
things, get large chicken, a pair of
ducks, roast of veal, or lamb or
beef; or-else-and or-go ahead and
splurge on dinner-get your turkey
and all>the nice trimmings you have
in mind for it and then hold the fam
lily down to the carcass for the next
week.
THE first plan seems to be the most
- practical and is likely to be the
one followed by the majority of Wash
ington housewives this year. For what
is Thanksgiving without turkey?

can have one of your own good jellies
with the turkey.
All through the meal every one will
enjoy drinking cider, and grown-ups
will want their coffee, either with the
turkey and vegetables or at the end
of the dinner.
TT HAS been customary in some fami.
lies to have big colorful fruit cen-
terpiece on the Thanksgiving table and
after the dessert to offer the fruit to
those who care for it. Either our
capacity is less than it used to be or
the modern American knows better
when to stop eating, for very seldom
does any one want a piece OF fruit
after the pumpkin pie. Even the nuts
and raisins go begging. so the eco.
nomical planner will simply leave out
these items entirely. Or have them in
place of a regular supper. late in the
day, perhaps in front of an open fire

observance, they will be carrying on q
custom almost as old as the human
race itself.
There exists, of course, the wide
spread notion that Thanksgiving Is
distinctively an American holiday,
founded by the Pilgrims, but this is
only partly true. The fact is, the
fundamental idea of the feast may be
traced back through the ages to dis
tant Biblical times. Concerning the
Canaanies, from whom the Children
of Israel derived some of their prac-
tices, we find In the Book Of Judges
the following:
"And they went out into the fields
and gathered their vineyards, and trod
the grapes and held festival, and went
into the house Of their god, and did
