10000 ALASKAN CARDS MAILED "OUTSEDE" BY DISTRICT ENGINEERS

Carrying greetings from Alaska to all parts of the world, 10000 especially designed Christmas cards have been mailed Outside" this season by personnel of the Alaska District Corps of Engin- eerS.
 This is a tradition started by the District Engineer Associates some years ago. This DEA, a civ- ilian employee organization, sponsors the design, printing and sale of the cards to District per- Sonnel.
 Cards vary from year to year but all carry the Alaskan theme. This season the front cover is a spectacular winter scene. Inside, upper left, is homestead's cab in. Lower right is photo of the mama moose and her numbering twin calfS who made themselves at home during the deep snows on the lawn of the District En- gineer building on Elmendorf Air Force Base. The pictures were taken by Jim Balog, District pho tographer. The cards, on heavy cream paper and printed in sepia were done by an Anchorage firm. The cards were purchased by everyone from file clerks and watchmen to top brass, and the mailing was as diversified.

Budweiser Cited
In Price Fixino
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion announced yesterday it has
charged the makers of Budweiser
beer with price discrimination.
The announcement said the
charge was based on price de-
creases put into effect in the st.
Louis area, home of Anheuser-
Busch. Inc, during 1854.
Until January, 1854, the COM
plant alleged, Anheuser-Busch
sold its beer uniformly at premi-
UNI prices which were generally
higher than prices charged by
its local and regional COMPETE
tors throughout the Nation. The
complaint described Anheuser-
Busch as the Nations leading
seller of beer in 1858 and 1854.
On January 4. 1854, ETC said,
the company lowered its price
for packaged beer in the st.
Louis area and thereafter rose
from fourth to third place in
beer sales there. A second price
reduction, on June 81, ETC said.
made Anheuser- Busch the lead
ing seller in the area.
In all other areas, ETC said,
Anheuser-Busch continued to
sell its beer at the customary
premium prices" the complaint
said this constituted discrimina-
ton among customers and was
diverting Substantial business
from competitors and may tend
to create a monopoly"

In the past. weight and
height charts were based on
average weights, not on ideal
weights. Most people gain too
much weight as they grow
older.
This is due to many factors.
Metabolism and the glandular
system slow down and physi-
cal exercise usually decreases.
The body requires less en-
ergy after the age Of 20. The
food we consume supplies this
energy and If we eat more
than we need. these extra por-
tions are stored as fat. The
trouble is that while the body's
requirements change, individ-
ual habits in eating too often
remain the same.
