Editor’s note: For the past few years, we have looked back in this section on the King Turkey Day celebration that took place in Worthington 50 years ago. The following article was printed Sept. 16, 1968 and written by Lew Hudson.

Two Turkey Day firsts were marked up Saturday by

New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.

HE WAS the first visiting speaker to arrive promptly on time and he clearly was the best turkey grabber since Humphrey. Some said he was even more dexterous than the Vice President in this crowd-pleasing Turkey Day chore.

It was exactly 12:30 p.m. Saturday when the governor’s private jet Commander appeared over Municipal Airport where a crowd of 200 persons was assembled to greet him. Four minutes later, the sleek jet touched down on the runway and taxied to the ramp.

Arriving earlier were Congressman Ancher Nelsen and Gov. Harold LeVander plus a number of other state and area political figures. Banners and signs in the crowd welcomed Rockefeller to Worthington and the Turkey Kingdom.

Rockefeller didn’t miss a hand as he wandered through the crowd signing autographs and smiling a response to the greeting. He even shook hands with the members of the color guard and the bystanders along the airport fence.

After 10 minutes, Rockefeller was escorted to his convertible for the trip downtown. The caravan was taken into the parade corridor of 10th Street, already lined with people who were not about to give up their curbside parade watching vantage points. Other thousands, however, crowded close to the speakers’ platform and gave the New Yorker a friendly and enthusiastic welcome.

Master of Ceremonies Jim Wychor read two telegrams extending greeting and recollections of former Turkey Days. One was from Richard Nixon who spoke from the same platform in 1954 and the other was from Hubert Humphrey who last spoke to a Turkey Day crowd in 1965.

GOV. ROCKEFELLER held closely to the text of the speech distributed in advance of his arrival. The only variance came at the beginning when he talked a little politics.

Apparently prompted

by the sight of a college-age youth in the crowd waving a Wallace for President sign, Rockefeller said, “We cannot have a man plying or working on hate, fear and racism as a leader in this country.”

Rockefeller said, “We are united from the top to bottom to elect the Nixon-Agnew ticket” and other Republican candidates at all levels. He declared earlier differences are now set aside.

This is the way the two-party system works, he said, and “I think this is pretty important, particularly this year.”

There was a moment of confusion at the conclusion of the address when MC Wychor was ready for the traditional presentation of a live turkey to the governor. The turkey wasn’t in its cage on the platform. Wychor called on the new Miss Worthington, Donna Hylarides, who made the presentation of a basket of food products produced in Worthington. Wychor was just about to close the program when Jim Pearson, local poultryman, came running up with the bird.

ROCKEFELLER, with a wide grin on his

face, crossed the stage and seized the turkey with both hands. He held it until all the photographers had completed the picture taking and then inquired whether the bird was equal to a jet flight back to New York.

Recalling last year when his brother, Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller of Arkansas was the Turkey Day speaker, the New Yorker said he should apologize for not bringing along his own turkey as his brother did last year. “I could have brought along one of those Central Park pigeons,” he joked.

Rockefeller and the rest of the official party descended from the platform, making their way through the crowd

to 10th Street where cars were waiting. As the flock of live turkeys was being driven up the street, the guests drove to the start of the parade route to take their places.

After taking part in the parade, Rockefeller and LeVander immediately went to the airport to

fly to Minneapolis for another appearance there at mid-afternoon. Others of the official party returned to the reviewing stand to watch the rest of the parade go by.

CONGRESSMAN Nelsen, calling it a “great day for the Second District,” introduced

Gov. LeVander. The Governor said. “It is a real pleasure to be back in Worthington.”

Recalling the summer’s Republican National Convention, LeVander noted that he and Nelsen had their differences as to who should be nominated for the presidency, but he said they were now on the same team. “Let me say to you,” LeVander declared. “We are going to elect Dick Nixon the next President of the United States and Gov. Rockefeller is here to help us carry Minnesota for him.”

LeVander gave Worthington high praise for the Turkey Day festival. “Turkey Day is one of the greatest farm festivals we have in Minnesota,” he said. “It focuses national attention on the good life you enjoy in this rural area.”

LeVander said the next administration is going to bring about a rural renaissance. He quoted from a recent poll which said that 50 per cent of those living in urban areas would prefer to live in rural regions if they could find jobs.

Rockefeller pleases ’68 Turkey Day throng with wit, enthusiasm

New York’s Gov. Nelson Rockefeller lifts his hat and greets the 1968 Turkey Day throng. Minnesota’s Gov. Harold LeVander and Rockefeller led off the two-hour-long Turkey Day parade.

File photosStar guests Gov. Rockefeller and Gov. LeVander left their car to greet marching turkeys.

Mayor Demuth presented a white tom. “I’m going to take it with me,” Rocky pledged.

The Lions International float was a popular parade unit. Giant eyeglasses emphasized Lions’ eye-care effort for the public.

IMPROVEMENTS in the rural job picture are occurring, LeVander said, citing the fact he participated in the opening ceremonies of a new candy plant at Jackson last Sunday and that Jackson later this week was chosen as the site for a new Univac plant by the Sperry Rand company.

Among the platform guests were Rep. Don Mitchell of Round Lake, Rep. Gilbert Esau of Mountain Lake, Sen. John Olson of Worthington, candidate for the Public Service Commission Lyle Nelson of Moorhead, Republican National Committeeman George Etzell, Congressional candidate Jon Wefald of St. Peter, candidate for the Minnesota house Francis Judge of Worthington, and former Rep. George Mann of Windom.

Turkey Day, 1968 had ended and another prominent name goes into the lengthening record book. With such a stimulating personality as Rockefeller to lead the guest list, the 1968 edition must be counted as one of the most successful and satisfying in history.

Now, the committee must start looking toward next year.
