were available in large quantities
as the piece de resistance for the
first peace-time Thanksgiving din
ner in four years.
There we're millions OF turkeys
this years enlarged crop totaled
44,l50, 000-and there were plenty
available IN almost every section
Of the country for the holiday feast.
The crop Is 20 per cent greater
than a year ago and a per cent
more than the 10.year average.
Last year Army requirements,
labor shortages, and other wartime
factors kept the turkey from many
civilian dinnerboards.
Prices were near ceiling in some
areas despite the increased sup
plies. Turkey hungry consumers
bought the birds as they come to
market, Carpenter declared, in
stead OF waiting for the holidays.
In most areas, an abundance OF
chickens also was reported. The
Army hP STEPPED out OF the chicken
market and more birds went d.
rectly TO civilian channels.
