tributor, that year-round demand
has grown continuously. This
years crop, estimated at SO million
birds, has exceeded all previous
records.
The average American now eats
twice as much turkey as he did
a dozen years ago. In the years
between 1859, per capita con-
sumption of turkey was 2.6 lbs.
as compared to 5.6 pounds esti-
mated for 1862.
Development of smaller turkeys
is responsible for growing share
of the year around volume. In New
York City last year, for example,
turkey sales were split about $3.50
between the Thanksgiving Christ
mas holidays and the rest of the
year.
Advent of broad-breaster tur-
key in the 1905 set off a miracle
in the turkey industry which has
grown to multi-million dollar
business. 1t also revealed the pos
sibilities of improving meat-type
chickens and inspired A & P to
sponsor the famous Chicken-of-
Tomorrow program for the breed
ing of better meat chickens.
Most housewives are beginning
TO realize that turkeys give them
more value for their food dollar.
The modern turkey is highly nu-
tritive, its meat easily digested
and because it has a greater pro-
portion of meat to bone and other
waste parts, it stretches the dollar
! spent on turkey little more.
! People like their turkey in diff
ferent ways in different sections
of the country. There is a grow
ing trend toward ready-to-cook
turkeys, both fresh and fresh
frozen, especially during holiday
seasons. The armed forces are
/ sending ready-to-cook tur k e y S
overseas this year. Some people,
particularly in New York and the
northeastern states, continue to
! prefer dressed birds.
In many markets the housewife
can buy turkey already prepared
for roasting and in some stores she
] may buy separate parts such as
breasts, second joints, drumsticks
giblets, necks and backs and smok'
ed turkey.
The industry also is cutting up

Sometimes when the weather is
hot we like at least one hot food,
but don't want to put forth much
effort to fix it. Broiled sandwiches
are ideal on such days. They are
easy, hot and appetizing. They add
just the right touch to salad and
on a cooler day they go well with
a cup of hot soup.
Meal-in-One Sandwiches
bread slices
slices boiled or baked ham
large or 18 small tomato slices

EVEN TURKEYS HAVE CHANGED
SINCE FIRST THANKSGIVING

Getting ready for Thanksgiving
is a lot easier today than it was
when the first Thanksgiving Day
was celebrated 331 years ago in a
bleak, New England wilderness.
Preparing the Thanksgiving
meal in the old days was a lot of
hard work for pioneer housewives.
They gathered pumpkins from the
fields, wild berries from patches
and fruits from the woods. They
ground their own corn for corn
bread stuff.ng and dug their own
potatoes.
But the toughest job was the
turkey even though wild turkeys
abounded in the nearby forests.
The wild turkey was bony, long
llegged creature with q gamy flavor
that would sh't fHw p.csent-day
palates. 1t had little meat and was
so Light it was capable Of flying
