Sixty small children from New Yorks tenements ate a turkey-less Thanksgiving dinner (of beef loaf) Nov. 20, 1940 and dropped 120 pennies in a plate in front of an empty place representing war-afflicted British children overseas. The pennies will be sent to purchase food for British youngsters. Saying grace before the turkey-shaped loaf are (left to right) Theadore Timms, Margaret Mackin, 4; John Hanley, 5; Joan Barthelmess, 5, and Edward Sloconi, 5. (AP Photo)
