The National Bank of Athens |
held the annual Christmas party !
on Thursday evening in the ball '
room of the Georgian Hotel. The '
party was given in honor of the
officers, directors, personnel and '
their dates. 3
The three long tables were
beautifully decorated and they
were centered with green and |
gold bowls filled with wvarious |
colored Christmas balls. On the |
speakers table were antique silver
candelabra with red candles and
these were surrcunced with holly.
Single red candles were used on
the other tables. Favors for the
ladies were Christmas corsages
and for the men attractive rain- |
deers. Those added glamour to the
decorations.
A delicious rour course steak
dinner was served to the 63 guests.
ALASKA IMPORTS
FROZEN BREAD :
SEATTLE — (AP) — You've
heard the old gag, of course, about ‘
the super-salesman who could sell
refrigerators to the Eskimos.
But would you ever expect to
hear that they actually are ship
ping frozen bread to Alaska?. g
What’s more, the going price
for a large loaf (six days old, or
thereabout) is around 40 cents.l
It sells at the standard price in |
Anchorage, which is a booming'
military center with high prices |
and too few bakeries to meet the '
demand.
The bread is frozen, then packed |
with dry ice in wooden boxes.'
Each holds 3,600 pounds ¢f bread
and from 200 to 400 pourrds of dry
ice. And, says Kiert Smith, who
developed the shipping container,
the bread reaches Anchorage with |
the same quality of freshness'
it had when it left the bakery. }
