Thanksgiving Turkey Reflects On the History of His Holiday
By JANET DEARDUFF
Mr. Turkey Gobbler's days are numbered. With two more chopping days 'till Thanksgiving, he may mournfully reflect upon the history of his holiday.
Although Mr. Turkey first entered the story around 1621, thanksgivings have been celebrated since the time of the early Hebrews. For years Constantinople observed a special day of thankfulness in honor of the victory of Constantine.
Citizens of Alexandria expressed their gratitude for the cessation of earthquakes each July 21. Because a plot to blow up the King and House of Lords failed, England had a national holiday for over two centuries. Neverthless, the United States is one of the few modern lands which has publicly set aside an annual day of gratitude.
The Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving in New England is the familiar tale of Indians and colonists gathering together after a bountiful harvest. Following this precedent, Presidents Washington and Madison proclaimed national Thanksgiving days during their administrations, but, in general, states decreed their own individual celebrations.
Strangely enough, the influence of the editor of "Godey's Lady's Book," Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, caused President Lincoln to issue the first permanent order for a national holiday. In her widely-circulated magazine she published sentimental editors upon the subject, then bombarded state governors and the President with letters.
So in 1863 official Thanksgiving services were held in churches across the nation, and families met for traditional feasts of roast turkey and pumpkin pie. The dinner was far pleasanter than most of the sermons which usually consisted of several hours of political oratory.
Thanksgiving may one day become worldwide. Since 1909, Latin American representatives have regularly met on the 4th Thursday in November for international services.
Theta Phi Alpha sorority held its annual Thanksgiving dinner at the chapter house Saturday night. Guests were entertained by group singing between courses of the dinner.
