Thanksgiving
This week we celebrate
Thanksgiving officially for
the 111th time. President
Abraham Lincoln, in 1863,
issued the first national
proclamation designating a
specific date for
Thanksgiving. He chose the
last day of November.
Nowadays we celebrate the
fourth Thursday of every
November.
Setting aside a day to offer
thanks to a deity reaches
back to antiquity. It seems
man has always been aware
of the fragility of his
situation, of how dependent
he is upon many cir
cumstances beyond his
control for his food supply.
Early mankind knew
famine and starvation. For
this reason, it isn’t sur
prising that the struggling
early colonists of America

were very grateful when
things went well in terms of
food.
The Bradford Proclamation
Thus, Governor William
Bradford of Plymouth
Colony In the fall of 1621
issued a proclamation to his
people declaring a day of
prayerful thanks-giving for
the harvest of that year.
America’s celebration of
Thanksgiving stems from
that event, when the
colonists feasted on wild
turkey and other foods.
Credit for national ob
servance goes to a woman,
Sarah J. B. Hale, editor of
Ladies Magazine and later
Godey’s Lady’s Book, who
promoted the idea. Through
her efforts, some 30 states
were officially celebrating
Thanksgiving by 1859.

With our overweight folks,
most of the problems are
simply that they eat too
much.
Food Stamps Help
Food stamps, and other
special programs, hopefully
are helping people who
really have severe problems
with the family food budget.
Certainly, America
cannot afford to let any one
of its citizens go hungry.
My prayer is that today
more families are sitting
down to eat together. The
trend has been away from
the family table in favor of
eating at separate times or
eating out, kind of “on the
fly.”
Something “gets lost”
when members of the family
don’t sit down together for at
least certain meals.
Measure Ingredients Properly
Correct measuring of
ingredients for baking and
cooking is important. With
accurate measurements,
you can usually count on
getting top-quality baked
and cooked foods. Mrs. Ruth
Buck, Extension foods and
nutrition specialist at The
Pennsylvania State
University, offers some tips
for more accurate
measuring.
Unless you’re using
presifted flour, you may use
up to two tablespoons more
if you don’t sift the flour
first.
Except for the granulated
variety, always pack brown
sugar into the measuring
cup. When you overturn the
cup, the brown sugar should
hold the cup’s shape.
Pack butter, margarine,

Our family took a day off
and drove to the Blue

they were hunting turkeysbut
Cindy and I Just went along
for a nice day in the woods.
This is the first time that I
didn’t carry a gun and it
really was much more
relaxing as there was no
need to check each tiny
rustle of dry leaves. The sun
shone, the sky was heavenly
blue, the chipmunks were
everywhere and the little
witch hazel trees were
covered with feathery yellow
flowers. We didn’t see any
turkeys but we saw a deer
and had time to notice other
things too.
In the forest one often sees
a young growing tree sup
porting an old fallen one. Its
or other shortening into a
measuring cup to eliminate
any air pockets. Remove
from the cup with a rubber
scraper to get the full
measure.
Measuring liquid
ingredients is simple and
accurate when you look at
the cup measurements at
eye level. You may get too
much or too little if you view
the cup from any other level.
Glass cups with pouring
spouts and handles are ideal
for measuring liquids. Nests
of measuring cups in dif
ferent sizes are good for dry
ingredients because they
permit leveling off with a
knife or spatula. Use stan
dard measuring spoons
instead of tableware for
accurate measurements.

natural growth is affected by
the dead tree. How often
does a young person, in
remembering a deceased
friend or relative change his
decisions and even after his
life by following an almost
imperceptible thought or
idea? Yet, how do we live
after death except in the
minds of those we have lived
among. Let us hope that we
affect folks in a positive
manner.
Speaking of turkeys and
this being the Thanksgiving
season, I am reminded of
turkey round-ups which were
held on our farm years ago.
We had a different method of
raising them, than I ob
served on a turkey farm the
other Sunday.
Each spring we let a

woods and meadows. They
