DELMAR, Del., Oct. 8 —Thanksgiving will
be celebrated twice in this town of 2,200.
The Delaware-Maryland boundary line runs smack through Main street and the States will observe the holiday on different dates. Citizens on the Maryland side will eat their turkey on the third Thursday in November—the date designated by President Roosevelt. Delawareans will celebrate a week later.
