Show Page C2 Wednesday, Nov. 25, 1987 Park Record Ponder this holiday with "Thanksgiving by DENNA WRIGHT Park City Library Thanksgiving by Diana Karter Ap-pelbaum Ap-pelbaum While you're enjoying your turkey, cranberries and pumpkin pie, take a moment to ponder the significance and the history of this family holiday. Ms. Appelbfum has included in this book just about everything one might wish to know about Thanksgiving. From a Puritan holy day, the American holiday holi-day expanded beyond the borders of New England. One hundred years ago, football was replaced by the turkey shoot as the day's most flBetweem the Covers popular activity. Workers turned Thanksgiving into a frolic of football and parades. Today it is a time of sharing with family and friends. What about the very first celebration? The author lets us know that the 55 Pilgrims who survived the first winter truly knew what being thankful meant! Under the direction of Squanto, an Indian of the Wampanoag tribe, the colonists had successfully planted corn, pumpkins pum-pkins and squash. He showed them where to catch fish and how to hunt. We do have Edward Winslow's testimony that the first feast was a success. "Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four men fowling so that we might, after a special manner, man-ner, rejoyce together.. .many of the Indians were amongst us.. .their greatest, King Massasoyt." Through the years special foods were always served on Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing and we learn some curious notes surrounding pie-making. The making mak-ing of Thanksgiving Day pies in New England assumed vast proportionshousewives propor-tionshousewives made pies by the hundreds excessive pie eating earned the ridicule of outlanders. For instance, "In Massachuesetts, said to say from Boston down to Buzzards Bay They feed you til you want to die On rhubarb pie and pumpkin pie. Until, at last, it makes you cry, What else is there that I can try? They look at you in some surprise And feed you other kinds of pies."

Parkite revisits the past with look back by EUNICE PACE Record guest writer When we first moved to King Road, I probably spent most of my time in my own home or in my yard. But there came a time when I ventured ven-tured out into the world to make friends with the other kids that lived there. Ramona Mathie lived directly across the street, and the Hamilton girls lived further up King Road. There were houses up on the side of the hill, and the Fuelling girls and Beverly Billings lived there. I eventually even-tually played with all of them, but the girl I enjoyed most was Sally Brunyer. She lived on the first curve of a road that went up the hill off King Road directly across from Sume's Alley. She had an older brother, Frannie, short for Francis, and she was enough younger that she was a year behind me in school. At that time, it didn't matter, however, because we did not go to school for at least another year or two. Sally's mother, Aunie, was one of those capable and compulsive women who kept a spotless house, served wonderful meals, and was Pictures of the Past active in women's clubs. Later on, she went to work for the welfare department, but that was long after we moved. Every day, after I was clean and ready for the day of play, I remember pleading, "Can I go and play with Sally?" Sally was smart and knew lots of games. She lived in a fascinating house. Her father, Vern, (and possibly her mother) cultivated a beautiful terraced garden, and I remember loving to walk through all the rows of beautiful flowers. People in Park City Ci-ty tended more to flowers than vegetables and often traded seeds of slips to enrich each other's lives. Vern Brunyer's had to be one of the more spectacular. It covered the whole hill in back of their house, up to the boundary where the next lot started. Her yard went back from the wide curve of the road, and there was a large tree in front. I remember it as a pine, but from an old photograph, it may have been deciduous. We often played dolls under this tree. but even more vividly, I remember the songs she taught me. She knew a wide selection of popular country songs. I can still hear her singing "Back in the Saddle Again," "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine," and many others. She must have listened to the radio a lot or had them on records. They were totally new to me, but obviously a part of her life. As I look back now, I realize my friendships were always of an orbital or-bital nature. I would be the supplicant, suppli-cant, the hanger-on. Others seemed to do fascinating things and I would observe or cooperate. I felt unformedthat unform-edthat someone else's ideas were always better than mine. I was eager to absorb and enrich my own life by participating in the lives of others. When we moved over the hill to Anchor Avenue, we lost touch. It wasn't an easy walk then, and besides, we were in different grades, which meant we were in different worlds. I kept a fond eye on her from a distance, though. I concluded that she was a lot smarter than I was, because in high school, she always won a scholarship pin at the end of the year and I never did. To get this pin, a student had to have at least an A- average. Her big brother Frannie became Frank when he played football for the high school team, and Sally spelled her name "Sallye" and became best friends with Carolyn Terry. But I still remember her teaching me country songs underneath the big tree in her front yard, as we played with our dolls. ROCK 'N ROLL MEDICINE 1: Patient: "I'm depressed." Dr. Bob: "You're crazy."
