Joysome tidings reached the ears of hundreds of students supporting the Harvard Thanksgiving Day Committee yesterday in the form of an announcement by Roy L. Westcott, manager of the University dining halls, that a complete turkey dinner will be served Thanksgiving night, this coming Thursday.

This season's gobblers are unusually large, ranging from 16 to 18 pounds apiece, and in the words of Westcott, are "check full of white meat."

Westcott explained that his decision to serve turkey this Thursday was made to enable every student to have a Thanksgiving dinner. "Of course," Westcott added, "we shall serve another regular Thanksgiving dinner on November 30."
