Turkey Is Still 'King On Thanksgiving Ta By DORIS LEE What are you having for Thanksgiving? Maleagris gallopavo, as usual? Well, why not? It's traditional, and Americans go for traditions. A Maleagris gallopavo is a turkey. It's the turkey that we raise, pamper, fatten, kill, cook and eat every Thanksgiving. St. Pierre's Fryer Farm at 3311 W. Lincoln is gobbling with Maleagris gallopavo these days. They've already been raised, pampered and fattened. Now they are noisily awaiting execution, cleaning, and wrapping for the holiday dinner tables. St. Pierre's is owned and operated by the E. J. Hartson family, who took it over from St. Pierre about seven years ago. They also deal in chickens and other fowl. "We handle about 10,000 turkeys over the Thanksgiving holidays," Mrs. Hartson told the Gazette between telephone calls. "Some people place their order for Christmas right along with their Thanksgiving turkey." During these two seasons, Mrs. Hartson says, chicken sales drop 75 percent.

"California is growing in population at the rate of 60,000 per month. Most of these new citizens are finding their way into southern California, and Orange County leads the way." Cranston declared in discussing his forthcoming visit. "I want to meet with local business, civic and labor leaders throughout the county and devote my attention to possible solutions to these growth problems," Cranston explained. Schedule of stops during Cranston's visit, as announced by William W. Thomson, coordinator of the tour, include an address to the students of Fullerton Junior College, Tuesday, November 28 at 11:00 a.m.; a luncheon meeting with members of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce; an afternoon reception at the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce; and a Tuesday evening dinner address at a meeting of Latin American Citizens. On Wednesday, November 29, he will speak to the Anaheim Board of Realtors at Breakfast; discuss government problems with political science classes at Santa Ana Junior College at 10 a.m.; speak at a luncheon of Orange County labor leaders in Anaheim; visit Ford Americas at Costa Mesa; and conclude the tour with a speech before the Century Club membership at the Balboa Bay Club. Mrs. Hartson told the Gazette between telephone calls. "Some people place their order for Christmas right along with their Thanksgiving turkey." During these two seasons, Mrs. Hartson says, chicken sales drop 75 percent. The birds, Broadbreasted Bronze, are raised in Elsinore and brought in alive to the Fryer Farm where they are killed, eviscerated, cleaned, and wrapped. The Hartson's method of cleaning is so thorough the turkeys are ready for stuffing when taken home. "We found that draining them on crushed ice overnight instead of refrigerating them was more effective in handling them," said Mrs. Hartson. "Next morning they're cold and firm and easy to dry." A special crew is engaged just for drying and wrapping. The demand is big for fresh-killed turkeys, especially from newcomers to the area, according to Mrs. Hartson. Many people refuse to buy the frozen type. Occasionally someone will bring in his own live turkey (probably won in a drawing) to be custom-dressed by the Hartons. "But it's impractical at this time," says Mrs. Hartson," because it would only get mixed up with the others. And you'd be surprised: these people want their own turkey back." Wild turkeys are native only to North America and Central America. North American turkeys once ranged from Maine to South Dakota and south to northern Mexico. The Spaniards first saw them in Mexico. Today they are found in Florida, the southwestern states, especially Texas, and in the Mexican state of Guatemala. All domestic turkeys are descendants of the Mexican subspecies. They are raised in all the states, Texas and California hav- AHEIM GAZETT Anaheim, California, Tuesday, November 21, 1961 Governor Bro Holiday Procl Annual Thanksgiving Service Slated for Anaheim Hi Hall Twenty Anaheim communities will present the annual Union Thanksgiving service at 9 a.m. Thursday in Anaheim High School Auditorium, the Rev.

Lifting their voices in special hymns of praise for bountiful blessings this Thanksgiving Day will be the members of a new church congregation in Anaheim, the Lamb of God Lutheran Church at the corner of South and Sunkist. Foremost among the abundant gifts bestowed upon them is their new sanctuary, completed in September, and in which the Festival of Thanksgiving will be celebrated for the first time. Services are scheduled for 10 o'clock and a most gracious invitation is extended to those in the East Anaheim area to come and worship. "We Thank Thee, Oh God" will be the subject of Pastor Fred D. Dommer's message to his congregation, in which he will remind them of the importance of the true expression of thanksgiving. In keeping with the emphasis on thanksgiving being a "family gathering", all three choirs, encompassing all age groups of the church family, will sing glory and thanks to God this day. "Adoration" will be sung by the children's chorus under the direction of Mrs. Fred Dommer and accompanied by Mrs. Robert Peterson. Directed by Gay Runsvold, the Senior Choir will offer "Prayer of Thanksgiving". Accompanist is Miss Hjordis Dommer. The Youth Choir will add the familiar "Now Thank We All Our God". This group is led by Mrs. Walter Friauf and accompanied by Mrs. LeRoy Machmiller. This special observance of Thanksgiving will serve as a prelude to the approaching Advent season and the Lamb of God congregation will climax its period of dedication and thankfulness on Sunday, December 10 with a congregational dinner commemorating its first anniversary. This will serve as a covenant gathering for the purpose of recommitting themselves to the work of Christ and the church, according to Pastor Fred Dommer.
