Show PAGE 10 THE ZEPHYRNOVEMBER 1995 WHAT DOES MOAB THINK? THIS MONTH'S QUESTION: Two hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin bird. urged our Founding Fathers to adopt the Turkey as America's national Of course, the Bald Eagle was ultimately chosen instead. Considering the state of our country today, do you think a mistake was made in 1788 and might we want to reconsider the turkey? UNRELATED BONUS QUESTION: Why do they call it 'Melba Toast? Janie Klaila "I think that the turkey would be better because it's not on the Endangered Species List and they're easier to catch. And you can eat them. As for the bonus question, it's because Melba was hit by lightning." Phil Atkins "I don't think we should reconsider. I think that the turkey has become a symbol that people have a hard time letting go of. Most people really love a turkey. It could have been a duck. It could have been a number of birds. It could have been a ham. You can try really hard but most people are not going to let go of that turkey. I hate to blame Mel for this, as if the name Mel is bland, but that's my interpretation." Lenore Beeson "I think Ben Franklin had greater insight than any of us realized. The turkey gets my vote. On the bonus I question, don't know...melba was a fried egg maybe." Denny Fridkin "I think Ben made a good call there, because I would just feel bad eating a Bald Eagle for Thanksgiving. I believe that's originally from three or four day old peach melba, where the top layer was scraped off and became Melba Toast." Lisa Gerhart "I think maybe we should go back to the turkey and fewer bald eagles would be killed that way. As for Melba Toast, I have no idea." Christine Williams "I definitely believe we would have been better off with the turkey. The turkey is a stupid bird, but it is the bird of plenty and it is not predatorial. I think that would have been a better representative bird. On the bonus question, if you put more than two pieces of it in your mouth, all you can say is 'mmbla..mmbla.'"
