list of it's kind than has been is
 sued for any other controlled market under the American flag.
 We believe the prices are fair, Mrs Hermann said today. they are based on a most exhaustive study of marketing conditions in the Territory-the first, by the way, that has ever been made. The result of that study revealed conditions so different from those in the states, hat we then made a further study of he operating costs of grocery stores in the var ious towns in Alaska. We believe we have taken into consideration every economic factor that enters into merchandising in Alaska. After our data was received it WaS analysed by our price divi. sion and prices were compiled in and then sent to Washing ton where they were gone over with a fine tooth comb by exper- fenced and practical business analysts who gave the final okay before they were issued.

PRICES ON CANNED GOODS
 Applicable in the Is larger toWnls of the Territory Specif- ic or flat prices on more than 800 varieties of canned goods have been set by the OPA. These prices became effective December 6. They cover the major part of the brands and sizes of soups. juice, fruits and vegetables sold in Alaska at the present time.
 This is in accordance with an nouncement made today by the Alaska OPA. Copies of these prices have already been given to the grocery stores operating in the 16 towns covered. Cop ies as available to consumers at the office of the War Price and Rationing Board functioning in each town.
 Housewives, shoppers, consum- CTS in general, are urged to sec ure a list of these prices and use it when doing their shopping The commodities it covers is not a complete set of prices on all canned goods, but it rep resents good start, and offers greater coverage than any other

Srortbread Is
 Tasty Scotch
 Holiday Fare

INFANT to please someone W who "has everything with a really extra special Christmas gift?
 A festively decorated round of Royal Scotch shortbread is the perfect answer to that very pressing problem.
 The ia miliar tartan cov- cred, heather trimmed tins are missing from the stores this year, so we'll use a really wonderful old Christmas reel pc from Scotland and make some ourselves instead.
 A quarter cup of powdered sugar is all the recipe requires, so you can plan to make as many rounds as you can for Christmas gifts
 After all sugar is a very precious item this Christmas, isn't it, and it's good to know of something so delectable that does require so lit tlei
 One of the tricks in making good Scotch shortbread is to rub the but ter into the four mixture with the fingertips instead of pastry blend- CT. The butter softens slightly that way and ahsorbs the four and sugar perfectly.
 The sliced cherries and the chopped almonds are the ingredi- ents that give the regal touch and unbelievably Christmassy texture to this usually somewhat austere Scotch specially It's so good you just have to taste ii to believe it!
 Save half a dozen of the most per- feet cherries and almonds for deco ration-or use bits of green angelica with the cherries instead.
 If you have a box of glace fruit you can let your imagination run riot of course and really go to town, but in general the cherries will do the job very nicely indeed.
 When the shortbread is baked, cut a round of white cardboard exactly the same size. Slide a broad spat- ula gently under the round of short bread when it is cool and lift it carefully on to the cardboard.
 Wrap gaily in cellophane and trim proudly with red ribbon and holly, for a gift of Royal Scotch short bread is a very elegant gift indeedl

Maximum Prices Regulation 194, under which good, shipped into Alaska for sale have previously been computed. They are the same for every store in each community though they vary from town to town because of varying economic factors in each town. They are, of course, cell ing prices. The merchant can sell under them but he cannot sell over them. Commodities for which specific prices have not been set will continue to be com puted under MPR 194."
 The prices must be posted in every store in such manner as to be visible to the customer at the point of purchase.
 However, the Alaska direc-
 
 tor continued, "It may take a few days for your merchant to remark his goods to conform to these prices. Be patient with him. If his price is higher than that shown on your list, speak to him about it. If he fails to adjust it after having it called to his attention, you should then, but not until then, report it to your local War Price and Ration ing Board. Price panels have been created in all local boards for the express purpose of handling com plaints against overcharges of that nature. The price panel will take care of the matter without revealing your indentiy"
 Specific pricing, it was further pointed out by the Alaska OPA director, has been underway ir the states for some time, but the necessity of pricing by commun- ity in Alaska, instead of estab- fishing a Territorial price and the further necessity of securing data from each community upon which to base the price, has made the task of setting specifics much more difficult in Alaska than elsewhere in the country, partic- ularly in view of the small staff available for the work.
 We believe we have made good start Mrs. Hermann said, and that the public may ioox forward to having most of the cost-of- living commodities it buyE placed under specific prices in the near future. In the imme- diate offings are specifics on meats, flour, farinaceous foods coffee, underwear, hosiery, work clothes for both men and women, and liquors of all kinds, both in packages and sold at the bar. The specifics issued on December 6 are only the beginning but in view of the vast amount of can ned goods consumed in Alaska, we think it is a very important beginning"
