Christmas trees on Arctic wells poised to feed new pipeline
Special Christmas trees near Prudhoe Bay are cap devices on oil wells. If all goes well, the nation will receive a late 1970s petroleum gift as these wells, photographed by a pipeline worker, will be activated to feed oil into the long 800 mile Alaska pipeline now under construction.

Repeal of fair trade may be consumer boon
California moves to end fair trade laws reducing minimum prices on many goods. UC Davis economist Laurence Shepard estimates a $50 to $100 yearly gain for the average family as stores switch to post fair trade pricing. Lifeline utility provisions may cut bills for small power and gas users, though the Public Utilities Commission seeks delay to set limits.

Las Vegas loses two to three inches yearly with about five feet since 1935 as Lake Mead pressure and heavy groundwater use push the desert down. The Strip shows cracks but experts say no earthquake danger, though property repairs may rise. Water conservation and imports into the valley are urged as a remedy.
