Thanksgiving Is Still A Favorite DlRTHS PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1982 Calling Colleen People concerned by a breakdown of tradition in a mobile American society can take consolation this Thanksgiving. Various social barometers reveal that the nostalgic "over the river and through the woods" image of this holiday remains intact. According to industry figures, approximately 40 million Thanksgiving greeting cards are expected to be exchanged this year between family and friends. Sales of Thanksgiving cards have increased 13 percent annually for the last five years, making it the seventh largest card-sending holiday, just behind graduation. Mobility is an important factor for the increased card sales. Thanksgiving is one of the favorite, ail-American holidays that has warm associations of a hearty meal and the companionship of loved ones. If people can't be with others because of distance, a greeting card with a personal message can at least bring them closer in thought. Receiving a card reminds someone that even though it may not be possible to be together for this special occasion, they're still remembered. More and more people are becoming aware that Thanksgiving cards are available.. Interesting geographical dif ferences exist in card sales. Significantly more cards are bought in the northern areas of the country than in the southern regions, such as Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. One reason for this difference may be because Northerners are more tadition-oriented. They are also more likely to send cards to family Timely Quiz On Cooking Turkey Although turkey is now available and served all year 'round, the bird is particularly popular at this time of year when everyone does so much en tertaining. • Here is a timely quiz on cooking turkey which is apt to provide a few surprises.
