Prices Applicable
In the Territory
PRICES ON CANNED GOODS
Applicable in the 16 larger
townb of the Territory specif
ic or flat prices on more than
800 varieties of ‘canned goods',
have been set by the OPA.
i m.jV. JVi vwwt*».»v V.14.S, WVl * C
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.
HoUlsewives, shoppers, consum
ers 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- j
resents a good start, and offers I
greater coverage than any other
list of its 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 recult 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
w,<s analyzed by our price divi
sion and prices were compiled in
Alaska and then sent to Washing- ;
ton where they were gone over i
with a fine tooth comb by exper
ienced and practical business
analysts who gave the final okay ,
before they were issued.
“The prices issued today re- j
place prices computed under

Maximum Prices Regulation 194,
under which go d- 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, ceil
ing prices. The merchant can sell
under them but he cannot sell
over them. Commodities for
which specific pr'ce/s 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 purch^e.
“However,” the Alaska direc
tor continued. “It may take a
few days for your merchant to
re-mark 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 unt:l 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
lishing 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 a
good start.” Mrs. Hermann said,
"iiiiu iiiai me public may look
forward to having most of the
cost-of-living commodities it
buy* 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.”

Holiday Fare 1
_ 4
ll/-ANT to please someone «
V V wbo “has everything” j«
with a really extra special «
Christmas gift? <
A festively decorated round <
of Royal Scotch shortbread is 4
the perfect answer to that ^
very pressing problem. 14
The familiar tartan-cov
ered, heather - trimmed tins ^
are missing from the stores !
this year, so we’ll use a really
wonderful old Christmas reci- *
pe from Scotland and make 4
some ourselves instead. 4
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
Arter all sugar is a very precious 4
item this Christmas, isn’t it, and <
it’s good to know of something so ^
delectable that does require so lit
tle! \4
One of the tricks in making good <
Scotch shortbread is to rub the bat- 4
ter into the flour mixture with the
fingertips instead of a pastry blend
er. The but'er softens slightly that <
way and absorbs the flour and sugar ^
perfectly.
The sliced cherries and the j
chopped aimonds are the ingredi- 4
cuts that give the regal touch and i
unbelievably Christmassy texture to
this usually somewhat austere !
Scotch specialty It's so good you 4
just have to taste it to believe it! j 4
Save half a dozen of the most per- ! 4
feet cherries and almonds for deco- |
rat'on—or use bits of green angelica 4
with the cherries instead. j <
If you have a box of glace fruit 4
you can let your imagination run 1
riot of course and really go to town,
but in general the cherries will do J
the job very nicely indeed.
When the shortbread is baked, cut ^
a round of white cardboard exactly 4
the same size. Slide a broad spat- jj
uia gently under the round of short- 4
bread when it is cool and lift it i
carefully on to the cardboard. (4
Wrap gaily in cellophane and trim 4
proudly with red ribbon and holly, <
for a gift of Royal Scotch short- ,$
bread is a very elegant gift indeed! *
