Thanksgiving To Be Joyous Holiday Here Local Tastes Divided Between Chicken, Duck And Turkey Presentation to Governor in y Opening of Christmas Seal Sale Lititz’ Thanksgiving promises to be a joyous one with even the weatherman co-operating in pro • viding clear, cold weather to Sharpen appetites. And while the day is tradition • ally known as Turkey Day, Lititz folks this year will divide interests among turkeys, chickens ai.d ducks, it seemed imminent this week. The ladies at the Moravian Hotaie have expressed a preference for chicken while th ladies and gentlemen at the United Zion Home agreed to follow their annual custom of enjoying a duck dinner. Turkey growers, however, reported a spurt in turkey sales with this year’s hales expected to exceed those of the past several years and with prices remaining at about the same level.

The design of the Seal this year is by artist Raymond Lufkin, of Tenafly, N.

Hagar, Deputy Secretary of the State Department of Agriculture, with a sheet of Seals.
