At Plymouth, Mass., where turkey di i all the fixings, traditional football Tivairies and special church serv- ives. But only at historic Plymouth is witnessed the annual trek of Pil- grim descendants up Leydon Street for a memorial service in the old burial ground. In the bleak Korean hills, with the battle lines comparatively quiet troops relished their furkey din- ners complete from shrimp cock- tail to nuts, The Americans shared their boli- day fare with United Nations com- rades and Korean war orpha i.

However, changes have been made to make an evener appor- tionment of the city’s voters to enable election workers to handle the vote more conveniently, Under the new ordinance, there will be an average of 500 voters in each precinct. Some areas, with a large number | of voters in comparison with others have been split up to form other districts.

VISITING CELEBRITIES (Continued From Page One) Court Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr. is joining with his wife’s family for dinner, and his family for Warren and son Billy, are dining | with Mrs, Warren’s daughter and son-in-law Comdr.

President Truman had his Thanksgiving dinner last year at the Little White House during his second to last working vacation, The town was loaded with his staff, secret service men, and the White House Correspondents. Today the Little White House is empty of either the out-going Pre- sident or incoming President Eisen- hower who has been invited to Key West but so far has not been able to accept. Key Westers have more reason to be thankful than their fellow- Americans in frozen New England where the holiday was started by the Pilgrim Fathers. Today’s Northerners are shuddering in temperatures down to 7. While we in Key West can swim, fish, or sunbathe in a tem- perature of 80. This reporter is additionally thankful that Key West, not New York, Philadelphia, Washington or Boston is the locale of her Thanks- giving. Two years ago today I became a resident of Monroe County fly- ing down from New York after the northern hurricane that swept Man- hattan. Like so many Northerners, a pro- jected stay of a few winter months turned into a permanent residence. I cam efor the geographical climate but remained for atmos- pheric climate which is a wholly unique combination of the best qualities of a small town, a boom Tesort, a cosmpolitan sea port and the gateway to the West Indies, the Gulf and other far off places. No nostalgia have I for the groaning board in Massachusetts, Meryland, Connecticut or Pennsy- IWania.

She’s about six months old, affectionate and playful as her lamblike appearance indi- cates. Released from her little pen, she leaped -happily into The Citizen car and invited us to join her, hoping that at last someone had turned up who would like to return the affec- tion she wants to give. All you have to do to make a pooch’s Thanksgiving less lonely is to call the Humane Society, Phone 1637 and ask for an interview, which, if it turns out right for both you and the prospective adopted dog, will result in hap- piness all the way round. The fee is a dog tag and a reasonable donation, not very much, to the Society which is badly in need of funds to carry on the good work ... like caring for this wist- ful dog who wants a home. TURKEY COST (Continued From Page One) toms at 59 cents; a California im- port at 73 cents for hens and 67 cents for toms. Just plain “turkey” was 59 cents a pound. New gimmicks included putting on the counter “ready-to-roast” turkeys already stuffed. Some, ac- cording to AP, came cooked with bags of gravy on the side.

A Patrol leaders’ training course will be held on January 23, 24 and 25 at West Summerland Key Boy Scout Camp. Next week a Camping Merit Badge camp will be held at the camp on December 6 and 7. A committee to make a scout calendar of events for 1953 was set up with A. Bozo, G. West, and a Mr. Rizner appointed. Bozo will serve as chairman. The Scout leaders named Archie Potter as District Commissioner for December. The meeting was chaired by vice-chairman B. Frank entering an unheated room.

Originally Senator Kilgore came to Key West to recover from a bout of flu, five year: ago. Today he finds the place so grown up it seems like a different city, he said, The interview which took place on the Casa Marina dock was paced to the senator’s fishing. He studied the blue water carefully as he cast his line with shrimp bait on it. He concentrated on the shrimp as if to urge it to become a luncheon for a nice big barracu- a. He had already caught a few ner so that dinner was assur- ed. The senator said h~ had known Rep. Papy for 10 or 12 years and was looking forward to his Thanks- giving day with him. “Last Thanksgiving I spend in! Trieste in the former palace of Emperor Maximillian.

The Soviet foreign minister said the Peiping government had been given a copy of the resolution by the Indian government and had given its negative reply two days ago. For that reason, he said, the committee would be merely wast- ing time to pursue it: present de- bate on the Indian plan. At the same time, however, Vi- shinsky offered a series of amend- ments to the Indian proposal in an attempt to bring it into line with Russia’s demands for repatriation of all prisoners. He called for an immediate and complete cease-fire on the basis of the armistice points agreed up- on at Panmunjom with the addition of a provision for full repatriation Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, chief Indian delegate, listened in- tently as the Soviet foreign minis- ter told of the Chinese Communist rejection of the Indian resolution.
