SKI RAILS
Don't Think Ski Seasons Over
By ROBERT 8. RYAN

Maine seems to have the best
and deepest snow cover. Try
Sugarloaf at Kingfield or the
Rangeley area.
Last year, skiing was at its
best in March and April. In
fact, the first week in April
saw more than 20 feet still on
the Cabin Mountain slopes.
There is nothing like that this
year, but more skiing is still
to be expected.
With the growth of skiing
in the last few years. it is un-
fortunate that some undesir-
ables have become attracted to
the sport.
Theft Of skis and ski equip
ment has become a ser 10 u s
problem and one which should
disturb the skier and Ski-area
operator alike. Thefts reported
from some popular areas have
almost reached the wholesale
level-yet most Skiers do moi
take the most elementary steps
to safeguard their equipment
Skis are left unattended out
side motelS and lodges over.

They are placed. often neatly
paired and clipped, adjacent
to parking areas, so that they
need only be loaded into 6

Some are left outside lodges
snackbarS and restaurants, un'
watched and vulnerable. Somt
of the well-known metal skis
retailing in the hundred -dolla,
range, are the prime victims
of "Skijacking" but owners o
skis Of all types should exercis,
care and common sense.
SkierS and Ski-area operator
may both make the task of tn,
ski thief more difficult. Skier
should keep their equipment
when unattended, inside thei
cars-unleSS their rooftop rack

have this most desirable fea-
ture. Some lock the skis to the
racks-although the rack itself
may be lifted from the cartop
intact. Others have q device
which locks the skis to the
rack and the rack to the car.
Although none of these de-
vices are foolproof they can
help to deter the potential ski
thief. Many insurance policies,
by the way. do not consider
theft from an unlocked over
head rack in the came category
as theft from inside a locked
automobile. This precaution re-
qures unshipping the skis from
the carrier and slowing them
inside the car.
At the ski slope, there are
elementary precautions which
can be taken by the skier to
make the ski thief look else
where for his victims.
If the skier is fortunate, the
area operator will have pro-
vided a CHECK lock" system.
Best of these, in my opinion.
is the K & S system, made
right here in Washington. A
bank of locks, accommodating
skis Ind poles. is firmly affixed
to a rack. The skier has the
only key to this lock, provided,
for a nominal charge by the
area operator, who rents" him
the lock by the hour, day or
week. In this fashion, the skier
alone has unlimited access to
his equipment, secure in his
absence.
A second system, also quite
good, is similar to the locker
system at railway stations, in
which a coin-operated lock is
used. This system however, be-
comes more expensive If the
skier wishes access to his
equipment several times during
the day. Other systems involve
padlockS and chains, some ST.
liar to bicycle locks.
Unfortunately, many areas
have no checking or other type
of security system, leaving the
skier to safeguard his own
equipment. The best and sim
pleSt way of doing this is to
remember that skis are only
usable to a thief by the

KEEPING DEVIL

LONDON - NC The
Convocation of the Anglican
Province of Canterbury will
be invited at its next meeting
to restore the Devil to his ia
miliar place in the Church
catechism, it was reported
here.
4 commission revising the
Church of England catechism
is proposing this course "in
view of considerable dissatis-
faction with its earlier sug.
gestion that all reference to
the Devil should be dropped.
The commission had earlier
recommended that one of the
three promises made by god
parents at baptism should be:
Il would renounce all that is
wrong and fight against evil"
This was intended to replace:
Il should renounce the Devil
and all his works, the pomp
and vanity of this wicked
world and all the sinful lusts
of the flesh" Now they intend
to substitute: 81 would re-
nounce the Devil and fight
against evil"

Citizens" that appeared in last

icle was intended. We trust. to

itical as the timing of the report.
just before an election. would in
dicate. For the reason that If pol
itics were the intent. this report
is being delayed so that now the
Council election is over a factual
report can be given to our cit
izens without its being discredited
by some as saying political. The
members of the City Council who
are trying TO do a good job of
operating the City with a progress
sive approach and yet with an
effort to see that the monies col
lected from our neighbors and
fellow-citizens in service and tax
es are wisely used. feel an honest
report is due. We do not and new
er intend TO suggest that We re-
ceive credit for the magnificent
City Building, known as the Vale
Williams Memorial. 1t was the re-
our citizens with a keen love of
our community. The same is true
of our modern library and ap-
pointments.
However. when the City Council
received word of the certainty
of the gift of the new building
for the City, the long overdue
deplorable condition of our jail
cells and the housing of the Pol
ice Department became matter
for correction at once. In looking
for a site. the water department
building stood out. Monies to i'm
prove IL after the electric build
ing had been razed were necess-
airy, so that site was chosen for
our new Department of Public
Safety. BY this decision a marked
Improvement for the downtown
area of our City was possible. The
building was repaired and the
front covered. The City was given
new Police building that is a
credit instead of the disgraceful
condition that had existed. Pub
lie rest rooms were provided in
the central area of our City and
the piling installed along the area
to increase public parking and
stop further erosion. Proper jail
cells and a juvenile detention
area were installed to properly
protect all our citizens. The mon
les spent were collected from the
parking meters and recovered
from the sale of the former Caulk
Company building as reported In

u. S. 1860 Fire Losses
HistOry's Highest

Estimated fire losses in the Uni
ted States last year rose to 81, 107,-
$4,000, the highest dollar amount
OF loss in the nations history, the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's reported.
The 1860 total was 5.S per cent
above the $1.047 ,073,000 for 1859,
and 40 per cent higher than the
81 ,056. .266,000 for 1858.
1t was the fourth year in a row
that fire losses exceeded the bill
ion dollar mark.
The record fire loss total for the
last few years in part was due TO
the greater volume of construction
in place, and in part TO the rise in
the value of both new and existing
buildings as a result of the inflat-
ionary trend.
The National Board pointed out
that. over the years, the loss oi
property which burns each year in
relation to total quantity of goods
subject to burning has continued
progressively to edge lower.
Even though 1860 fire losses
as measured by dollars, reached ar
all-time high, we feel we are win
ming our battle against fire., saic
Lewis A. Vincent, general manager
of the National Board.
1T is not. however. a fight In
which we can afford to become
complacent.
THE headlines in our news
papers. almost daily telling o.
