Weather and competing attrac-
tons in the city last Saturday
evening failed to dampen the
spirits of members of the Key

the special floor show offered,
although it was not as good as
hoped for.

well received by the patrons and

hour.
1t was stated today that more
of similar events will be staged

Preparations for the event 5000
years from now are being COM
pleted by Oglethorpe University
of Georgia with what it calls the
Crypt OF Civilization. Many mo-
ton picture films and products
emblematic of present day civil
cation will be sealed in the vault.
AS the AnheuSer-BuSch brewery
here is the largest in the world,
it was invited to provide the
Crypt with a sound-motion pic
ture depicting the manufacture
of its product and with a sample
of the product itself.
Elaborate precautions to pro-
tect the sample of BudWeiser
were taken. The beer was pour
ed into a tube of lead glass and
the open end sealed by "a glass
blower. The tube then was plac-
ed in a stainless steel jacket.
The sound-motion picture de-
picts every phase of Budweiser's
brewing process-how samples of
barley ale examined by the lab

grain is bought, how hops bios

purity and uniformity. Even the

Their with heat and moisture to

of Budweiser to today'S consum-

When the Crypt is opened, TO-
600 years of beers history will
