...question of judicial reform is a pressing one and corrective measures are long overdue. The President's proposal therefore should be studied with care. A great deal that he desires is justified and much is to be questioned. The creation of the office of proctor, the direct transfer of cases involving constitutional issues from the court of origin to the Supreme Court, the notification of the Attorney General's office before an injunction is issued, each of these measures is worthy of consideration.

An ordinary rope ski-tow, with padded bars to lean on, will function on Proctor Mountain (named for Sun Valley's ski expert and chief of guides, Charles Proctor). Where the 3,050-ft. towline ends, skiers will not even have to remove their skis before relapsing into "chairlifts" which will carry them 3,500 ft. higher, at 400 ft. a minute...
