Moderation, Morale

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The role of
beer as force for moderation and
as a morale-building asset for both
civilian population and the armed
forces was described today by Alvin
Griesedieck, Chairman of the Brew
ing Industry Foundation, as out
ranking all other considerations by
brewers in 1912.
In year end statement for the
industry, the Foundation chairman
declared: mo single factor bright.
ened the outlook for the brewer
more than that military officials in
all branches of service and public
officials reaffirmed their faith in
beer as a force for moderation and
temperance"
Commenting on the favorable ex.
preston about beer since the self
initiated, self-regulation program of
the industry was launched in 1888,
Mr.. Griesedieck added:
Today, the brewing industry is
cooperating with state and local
governments, and with commanding
officers of Army posts and Navy sta
lions, to maintain wholesome condi
lions in all retail beer outlets in a
total of 81 states, in which large
concentrations of our armed forces
are now located"
The Foundation chairman com
pared beer sales, now at an average
of ga million barrels per annum, with
increased national income, pointing
out that beer sales increased only
" per cent over 1941 while national
income was up 1913 per cent.
Mr.. Griesedieck described the
common man" as one who drinks
moderately and whose beverage is
beer. with national income soaring
ESTIMATED at S117 billion for 1922
millions of men are earning and
working beyond average levels; and
beer is in demand"
THE economic hazards of 1913
not only encompass gasoline and
rubber rationing, as with all bust
ness" Mr.. Griesedieck said, "bul
also include physical problems OF
packaging the product after manu-.
facture has been completed. An.
other factor confronting the brewer
Is increased consumption with de.
creased facility for distribution"
The brewers contributions to the
war effort were various, Mr.. Griese.

purchases, and morale-building were
their major contributions. In the first
year since war bonds were made
