Meanwhile, weathermen ad vised that Thanksgiving "day should be generally fair but un seasonably cold across much of the nation. Mild, rainy weather was ex pected from Alabama and Geor gia into the mid-Atlantic states Thursday while snow flurries were forecast for the Great Lakes' region and the central and northern Appalachians.

I Long-Time Favorite Turkeys have been, the over whelming favorite at the Thanksgiving table ever since 1621. Turkey consumption in the U.S., the country that made the gobbler famous tit has been sug gested as the national emblem to replace the eagle), has been rising -steadily through the years. This year, according to the Department of Agriculture, tur key consumption will average 5.4 pounds for every man, wom an and child in the country. That compares with 3.2 last year and 2.1 pounds in the years prior to W orld War II. Actually, the turkeys you'll eat this year are a far cry from the long-legged, scrawny, tough old birds the Pilgrims chomped on back in the 17th century. They don't even look alike. The fact that gobblers are bet ter tasting today than ever be fore is no accident. More Eating Experimen tation in the breeding and feeding of turkeys has resulted in birds with shor ter and thicker legs, heavier and meatier breasts and better fla vor. Turkeys today are milk fed and often receive a diet fortified with vitamins. Greatly improved methods of processing now are opening up a year-round market. Tur keys killed now can be quick frozen and sold six or nine months later. Turkeys, in a sense, are frauds. They got their names as a result of a misunderstanding. The birds at first were confused with the guinea fowl, a delicacy imported from Africa into Eu rope through Turkey. Thus the name.

RUGS & UPHOLSTERY Cleaned by the Rogue Duraclean Service Use Again the Same Day PHONE NO 4-2043 ited States Shrugs Off Soviet Anti-West Tirades Washington (U.R) The United States is shrue ein? off Soviet Communist boss Nikita Khrushchev's latest anti-Western tirades at Moscow recep tions. The bitter words are. being credited by U. S. officials to merely a combined attack of vodka and frustration over Sov iet reverses in Eastern Europe. Walked out of Range Khrushchev gave out last week end with one anti-Western tirade at a reception honoring Polish officials at the Kremlin and another at a reception at the Polish Embassy. U. S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen and other Western diplo mats walked out of range as Khrushchev stormed about "in trigues of imperialists" in the Middle East and Hungary. The walkout let the Russians know how the Western diplo mats felt. But the State Depart ment doesn't think the incident worth carrying any further. No Longer Cuts Deep That is what World War II and the cold war have done to ward toughening the hide of international diplomacy. Harsh and insulting language no long er cuts as deep as it once did. In years not far back the re action would have been sharper. Old style diplomacy probably would have called for a protest, envoys would have been ordered home for "consultation" and dip lomatic relations might have been cut. But the United States today re gards the keeping open of dip lomatic relations an important way to watch for trouble and possibly to prevent it.

'!U.R) A small army of firefighters massed forces today to battle a wind whipped brush fire which has gutted more than 7,000 acres, claimed one life and burned seven other persons. Gusty winds fanned the blaze into an inferno along two fronts but the more than 1,000 fire fighters hoped to contain the western front some time today. The eastern flank was burning out of control in nearly inacces sible terrain. Two Critically Burned Two firefighters were critical ly burned Tuesday when leaping flames broke through lines in the Plunge creek area. Three others also suffered burns in separate mishaps. Edwin D.
