But more than just a bootmaker, Peter Limmer is a skiing institution, and his shop a hangout for the optimistic amateurs who look for snow in October, and the inscrutable professionals, who may do so but don't show it.

Dr. Miriam Van Waters, superintendent of the Women's Reformatory at Framingham, said last week that rehabilitation work had been "disrupted seriously" by the 70-year-old law governing work of women outside the institution.
Dr. Van Waters said the ban has interfered with the institution's mother-and-child program and "it is bad for the adolescent girls under 21, of whom there are 80 in the institution."
"There chances for rehabilitation would be better if they were not released so suddenly," she declared. "There is too sudden a break with the discipline of the institution. It would be better if they were out working one day a week."
