...southern Vermont try Haystack Mountain in Wilmington, a new area this year which offers a double chair and three T-bars. Visionary long-range plans call for a gondola and two more chairs, but the present equipment opens up 75 acres of skiable terrain at all levels of difficulty. Slightly further north, Stratton Mountain begins its third season with a new 5100 foot Heron double chair and 30 acres of new trials. Stratton is one of the most substantial of the new developments and the lifts, trails and lodge have all been carefully--and expensively--built. The area's four...

That same year, the Court took up the case of a ship's baker who had grabbed a sharp knife instead of a scoop to serve hard ice cream and lost two fingers when the knife slipped...
Swell! The Journal shed manly tears at her departure-"Against the well-planned schedules of her rivals, Dorothy has only her wits and the brave heart that beats under her trim little jacket"-and proudly published the note that came fluttering down from the Hindenburg's gondola in Lakehurst, N.J.: "Goodbye, America. I'll be right back." In Frankfort 58 hours later, Dorothy was given a royal welcome by Nazi General Franz von Epp, Governor General of Bavaria, who called himself her "godfather in Germany" and suggested another date. But Dorothy pressed...
