Origins Of
Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving — Its origin springs in
part from the days when English vil-
lagers brought home the last loads of
grain from the fields and shared a
feast called "Harvest Home." It was
a celebration of the final harvest of
the season, and the people rejoiced
and gave thanks that their work was
done and they had food to sustain
them through the winter.
The pilgrims of Plymouth carried on
their ancestors' tradition of giving
thanks following their treacherous
journey from England to the New
World. When their first successful har-
vest was gathered, they celebrated
with a sumptuous feast of corn and
wild turkey.
Today's Thanksgiving celebration in-
cludes some of these same traditions:
a feast fit for any king, colorful fall
decorations, and the company of rela-
tives and friends. And when people
gather together on the fourth Thurs-
day of November, they give thanks for
their blessings and express gratitude
for their good health and fortune, just
as the Pilgrims and English villagers
did over 300 years ago.

Safe Toys

The Toy Manufacturers of America,
an industry trade association, has
recommendations for buying safe
and appropriate toys. Each year,
Americans spend about $12.75 billion
on toys, with some 60 percent of that
total spent during the holiday season.
Keep these safety factors in mind
when buying toys:
Avoid toys with small parts that
might be swallowed and/or with sharp
points or edges. This is especially im-
portant in toys for infants and todd-
lers.
Look for dolls and stuffed animals
that have sturdy seams. Eyes and
noses should be fastened securely.
Rattles, teething rings and rubber
"squeaking" toys intended for infants
should be too large to fit into the
child's mouth.
It is a good idea not to give toys
with electric heating elements to
children under the age of 8.
