Imperial Valley press., 1943-11-25

day this year cannot be a day of
joyous reunion since transportation
difficulties will keep many away,
while others, who are in the service,
cannot return for the holiday.
Still. in nearly every home, the
spirit of festivity will prevail. with
a deep feeling of thanksgiving for
those blessings which the nation
still enjoys.
Butt er may De scarce or entirely
missing, turkey may not be plenti..
ful. but dinner tables Thursday will
still preSen. a picture of abundance,
proof of the ingenuity of valley
homemakers in providing dolectable
substitutes for the traditional
Thanksgiving delicacies.
To those who have members of
the family in the service, and also
to those who have nCt, an appeal
has been made. TO share their
Thanksgiving with Servicemen in
the valley, either by inviting them
to join in the family celebration, or
by sending a slice or two of turkey
with a bit of cranberry sauce to the
SCrvicemen'S canteen where hos
tesSeS will make sandwiches for the
men. Cookies, cakes, pies, any
other good things to eat will be well
coined also.
To be sure the various camps are
featuring Thanksgiving dinners for
the men, but when they visit the
city and find that someone has re,
membered them on Thanksgiving
day, that thought means much II
the lonely men who would love tc
be at home themselves on this
American holiday.
