...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.

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...
