Golden History Moment
80 Years Ago
The November 14, 1940 Colorado Transcript was focused on Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner–Thursday, November 21–just to be an American–live in Golden and Jefferson county–and be in business on Washington Avenue is enough to make us all reverently happy and thankful.
Avenue Flashes Column
The Golden Gem Theater was sponsoring its annual Thanksgiving food matinee. They were showing The Day the Bookies Wept, starring Betty Grable. Admission was only available with a donation of food, which would be used to stock Thanksgiving baskets for local needy families.
Why was Thanksgiving so early? We normally celebrate it on the 4th Thursday in November. In 1939, President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving to the 3rd Thursday in order to make the Christmas shopping season longer–an economic stimulus move. They changed it back to the 4th Thursday at the end of 1941. Source: archives.gov
