Ignominious End To Haggis Consignment
Rec. 9 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 26. Seven pounds of haggis sent by Lord Lovat to the Illinois St. Andrew’s Society so that members could properly observe the feast of haggis at Chicago on Saturday was ordered to be destroyed today by the Department of Agriculture’s Department of Animal Husbandry. After the precious consignment arrived at La Guardia airport in the Pan-American Clipper named Donald McKay, the department ordered the destruction of the haggis because it came under the classification which prohibits the entry into the United States of certain kinds of meat which the authorities fear may spread foot-and-mouth disease. The haggis came to an ignominious end in an airport incinerator.
