Show rrr The Pyramid Foreign-bor- n MT. -PLEASANT most Americans grew up having a big Thanksgiving dinner each year, the custom is a strange one to many of those who have come to the country from other parts of the world. Most of them after a few years adapt the American way and celebrate with turkey and all the trimmings, but some continue to observe the holiday as they did where they grew up. Germany Typical of those who have adapted to what most of us accept as tradition, is Walli Martin of Spring City who came herefrom Germany. Mrs. Martin said in Germany the holiday season is celebrated earlier in the year about September or October when the actual harvesting is done, so it seemed very strange to her to be celebrating so late in the year when the snow covers the plowed While ground. The German celebration she said is not so much a holiday feast as a time for harvest celebration. Mrs. Martin said her first American thanksgiving dinner was in about 1960 with her German relatives who had been in the United States longer than she. She was a refugee from East Germany and so she said when she finally heard about the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving after some few years in the country she could have compassion for them because of what she had been through and could feel the thankfulness they did because she knew the feeling of being safe in this country. It was about the time I became a citizen, she said, When I first began realize what Thanksgiving was all to about. I think people have to be here a while before they know, she said. She said she was slow in attempting to cook her first turkey because her father-in-lause to get up at 6 a.m. and baste the bird every 15 minutes. It seemed such a big job. Now the turkeys we have are great, she said, and our family gets together, the kids all come home, and we have a traditional Thanksgiving. The only difference is that she makes dumplings with the turkey as the Germans do. She has learned to make pumpkin whole pies and the thing, and says she loves the holiday and always looks forward to it. England Jeff and Lillian Sparks of Milburn werent brought up with that kind of a tradition in their native England, so Jeff said, we have not been much to celebrate. The English have a time when they give thanks for the harvest, he said, "but it is a time to take fruits of the harvest to church and give thanks and then to return home and have a normal every day dinner. exThe Sparks their first perienced typical American Day in Canada in 1953 when they were invited to dinner by another family. I think it is a great day, Jeff said, but we dont go gung ho about it because we were just not brought up that way. He said they had Thanksgiving enjoyed Thanksgiving typical dinners with friends in California, but the day is usually a quet one for he and his wife.
