Thanksgiving Day Made
Official 100 Years Ago
Thanksgiving Day exactly a
century ago was a very special
holiday indeed. Its unusual
quality was not apparent at
first glance, however. Families
gathered, just as we do today,
to feast on plump turkeys gar
risoned by platters of vege
tables, cranberries and mince
pies. Nevertheless, Thanksgiv
ing, 1863, was unique: the day
had at last become a regular
national holiday, destined to be
celebrated every year from that
date on.
True, Thanksgiving had been
observed many times by Ameri
cans in the years since the Pil
grims Thanksgiving of 1621,
but its celebration had been
haphazard. Even in Plymouth
Colony,, as in succeeding Ameri
can colonies, Thanksgiving was
held irregularly and at varying
times of year, sometimes falling
in July.
Proclamation
George Washington pro
claimed a national day of
Thanksgiving in 1789, the year
of his first inauguration. He is
sued a proclamation, calling
upon the people to thank God
for a constitutional form of gov
ernment. A national observance
of the day was again celebrated
in 1815 . by proclamation of
President Madison. Otherwise,
Thanksgiving was left to the
discretion of state governors
with the obvious result.
A permanent, yearly Thanks
giving Day was one of the fond
est dreams of one tiny, persis
tent New Hampshire lady. That
woman was Sarah Josepha Hale
who saw Thanksgiving Day as
the great home festival. Born
in 1788, Mrs. Hale had been wi'
dowed at the age of 34 with five
small children to support. She
soon developed into a proline
writer and later became the
first editor of the first ladies'
magazine, Godey's Lady's Book,
pace-setter for 'the nineteenth
century woman.
Sarah Hale emerged as one
of the most influential women
of her era. From 1846 until
1863, she used that influence in
an unswerving campaign to put
Thanksgiving on the annual
holiday calendar. For seventeen
years, letters went out in her
own hand to governors, presi
dents and thousands of other
distinguished persons. Editorials
in Godey s urged nay, pleaded
for an established Thanks
giving Dny.
Mrs. Hale s campaign tor a
national Thanksgiving was one
of the few issues on which all
states seemed to be in har
mony. Indeed, it was because of
this that President Abraham
Lincoln finally capitulated on
her demands. In a country torn
with war, he hoped that the
holiday might help to unite the
nation once more. In 1863, he
proclaimed the last Thursday in
November as a day of national
Thanksgiving. The date was no
accident. Taking Washington's
lead, Lincoln selected the last
feast day of the church year.
Day Remains
Thanksgiving did not slip back
Into national obscurity. By
means of her pen and prestige,
Mrs. Hale saw to it that the
holiday was kept in the public
conscience. The following year,
Lincoln again set aside the date
as a day of Thanksgiving. It
was a tribute to the little lady
from New England that the New
York Times reported on Novem
ber 24, 1864: "Yesterday was
more generally observed as a
national holiday than any pre
ceding Thanksgiving day we re
member." The editor of the Times also
observed that the day itself had
been fair and sunny. Whether or
not the beauty of Indian sum
mer extended to the Civil War
botllefields, many soldiers and
sailors did enjoy a Thanksgiving
dinner. Over forty thousand
dollars, said the stalwart Times,
had been collected to send
Thanksgiving feasts to the
fighting men.
There were turkeys thous
ands of them and barrels of
sweet potatoes, tomatoes and
apples, all supplied by tho gen
erosity of folks back home. And
there was coffee, the mainstay
that could warm tho spirits on
the chilly wastelands of the
battlefield.
Brews Ills Own
For the most nart. the food
was prepared by the camp
cooks, but the eolfee was
John D. Billings in his Civil War
memoirs, Hardtack and Coffee:
"I think the soldiers, as a
whole, preferred to receive
their coffee and sugar raw, for
rough experience in campaign
ing soon made each man an ex
pert in the preparation of this
beverage. Moreover, he could
make a more palatable cup for
himself than the cooks made
for him."
Even in the bitterness of
war, that battlefield Thanks-

giving may have come closer to
the feast of the Pilgrims than
any other that year. Perhaps
there was even time to observe
the beauty of the landscape as
the Pilgrims had so long ago.
Of the first Thanksgiving,
one nineteenth-century author
wrote, "The Pilgrim from over
sea fell in love then and there
with New England and the
bride, clad in her cloth of gold,
had been waiting many years
for such a suitor. So it hap
pened that there was a wed
ding feast."
In 1863, Sarah Josepha Hale
saw that feast of Thanksgiving
firmly established as an annual
national holiday. One hundred
years later, it is a cherished
holiday for everyone in the
nation.
Medford Man's Recipe

A quantity recipe for salad
furnished by George W. Swin
ney, 1013 West Ninth Street, is
featured in the December issue
of Sunset Magazine, which went
on sale Wednesday, according
to a release from the magazine.
Published under the section,
"Chefs of the West," the recipe

ions, celery and bananas. Add
other ingredients and toss thor
oughly. Receives Book
For furnishing the recipe to
the magazine, Mr. Swinney re
ceived a copy of a "Chefs of the
West" cook book. -
Mr. Swinney said yesterday
that he first made the salad in
1949 and 1950, when he was em
ployed as a lumber scaler for the
Kogap Lumber Company at the
firm's logging camp in the Dead
Indian section of this county.
Since there was no camp cook,
the men prepared their own
meals and this was one of Mr.
Swinney's contributions.
He is a Boy Scout committee
man and last June when he ac
companied a group of Boy
Scouts and Scoutmasters from
here on a trip to Yellowstone
salad for the erouo.
Mr. Swinnev. who has lived in
this area since 1945, worked for
a number of years for the lum
ber firm including about four
years at the Kogap camp above
Trail. For the past three years
he has been sexton at the East
wood Oddfellows Cemetery.

Mistakes Resblted
In Two All-Time
Favorites in Candy
Two all-time candy favorites
are a result of mistakes, the
Catholic Digest reports. The first
known fudge was a batch of
caramel gone wrong. The head
cook in a Philadelphia factory
tasted the rich unchewy stuff
and exclaimed with disgust,
"Bah! Fudge!" (The diction
ary defines fudge as a 17th
century interjection meaning
"stuff and nonsenes!") The
name stuck. Fudge makers
ever since have been working
hard to keep their candy from
turning into caramel.
Peanut brittle, too, was an
error. In the 1890s a New Eng
land housewife was making
peanut taffy. The syrup was al
ready bubbling on the stove
before she realized that she
had forgotten to add cream of
tartar. In her confusion, she
seized the baking soda instead.
The result was a candy so hard
that there was nothing to do
but call it peanut brittle. It
was lucky she remembered just
how she had made her mistake.
Shower
Mrs. Clayton Miller, 1404
Myers Lane, Medford, was guest
of honor at a surprise layette
shower Tuesday evening when
friends called on her. Hostesses
were Mrs. William Redmon,
Talent and Mrs. Jerry Denham,
Phoenix. The honored guest was
presented gifts.
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
motion that blindness produces
a sharp ening of remaining
senses seems to be based on
fact, say University of Califor
nia researchers.
In experiments with rats the
research team headed by Dr.
David Krech found that blinding
stimulated growth along with
increased chemical activity in
that part of the brain which
registers impressions of bodily
sensations. Because the sense
of touch is relayed to this area,
the scientists feci their results
support the belief that blindness
causes a compensatory sharpen
ing of the sense of touch at
least.
