Gobbler Odyssey By John Madson The supermarket turkey has taken a mighty long trip from the woods to your table. It was an odyssey that began in ancient Mexico. ' Long before the Spaniards •sought the Seven Cities of Gold. turkeys had been tamed by the Aztecs. It's said that. the Em- peror Montezuma kept a men- agerie of hawks and, eagles so vast that it needed 500 turkeys per day for food. Mexico didn't have a corner 00 tame turkeys. Farther north, tur- keys had beey kept in. Indian pueblos for centuries. Some of these birds were rinsed for their feathers, not their meat. Old-time Apaches wouldn't eat turkeys at all, just as they wouldn't eat quail or doves. - Anyway, the Spanish con- quistadors saw their first Mexi- can turkeys soon ,after 1518. and by 1530 turkeys had been brought to Spain. It's strange that there aren't clear-cut records of the turkeys' arrival, Maybe they were confused with guinea fowl from Africa. or peafowl fror'n ,Asia - Minor.. it's a cinch that somebody was confused, thinking the big bird was from Turkey and !gaming it accordingly. Froin Spain, • turkeys spread swiftly through Europe. They - were in England as early as 1541, and eventually taken - into all parts of the. civilized world and bred into a great variety of colors and sizes. Sonia even had feathered crests. In the fullness of time, the tur- key returned to the New World via the northern route, arriving on the Atlantic Coast. Those domestic turkeys were smaller and blacker than the big. bronze wild birds, and many colonists preferred the v ltd turkey for eating. So when we talk turkey. we're talking about two vastly different birds. The original Thanksgiving gobbler was a big, wary bird that Captain John Smith ground - swatted int the New. England woods. But today's supermarket gobbler -lie of the full breast, tender drumstick, and dull mind- goes back to Captain Cor- tez, who -swiped if out of Mon- .tezuma's barn, The Wingham AdVvr a Tunes, Thursday, January 13, lift- foage J •-" r. and Mrs. Murray Gerrie a Mr. and Mrs. Rohe,rt Middle- ton spent several daya in Toronto attending the Canadian annual furniture and floor covering show at the Canadian National Ex- hibition grounds.

BEAUTY QUERY "When my eyes. are wide open, my eyelids go back and down, out of sight, exactly like those of a doll. What's the use of my bother- ing with eye makeup when it simply doesn't show?" But other people do see yo from a lot of angles of which may not s e aware. Like looking. down ou as you sit at your desk, or at .you directly if you, close your eyes (like in a kiss, re- member ). So don't°"neglect eye shadow when it's got such pow. Never use a dark shadow, how- ever, always a light shade which, draws out the eyelids.
