Caretaker at Crater Lake
Lodge is Taking P in t
Vacation
A hermit-like existence ia a
snowbound mountain lodge eight
months of each year, bolds no
terrors, but rather bgs
much
charm for John Mabin. year-
round caretaker of Crater Lake
Lodge.
Mpbin is spending a two-weeks
vacation in Ashland— the
first
vacation he has taken in the last
four years, and although he has
been here less than two weeks,
expresses himself as almost home
sick and anxious to get back to
his snow-bound mountain home.
"One. learns to love the stillness
and Isolation,” Mabin says.
The road to the lodge was
closed in November and from
that time, until April 28 when he
left the lodge to come to Ashland
Mabin was alone, except for an
occasional visitor, usually a par
ticipant in a ski race, who sought'
shelter and hospitality of the
Lodge after having made the 21
mile trip to the Summit of the
lake.

LONDON, — <LP) —- “ Mirror,

Numerous cases of suicide have
been found here recently where
the suicide committed has been
deliberately staged before a mir

been entered.
Several noted pathologists and
psychiatrists have reeently de
voted some time to a study of the
apparent complex which causes
suicides to stand before a mirror
while taking their lives. . One
psychiatrist has declared that the
cause is a “complex death” where
the subject has so long thought of
death that he Is anxious to view

Last Friday in this space we referred to the
need of Ashland’s canning industry for a larg
er supply of fresh fruits and vegetables to keep
the cannery running at capacity throughout
Growers wishing to know specifically how
their planting schedule should be arranged to
fit into the canning schedule with profit to
themselves, should confer with the manager of
the cannery and follow his suggestions. From
cur knowledge, however, we can say here that
an easily filled need is for small fruits and
berries.
If you have a plot of ground which yon
wish to use profitably, why not look to the
future and put in some blackberry, raspberry,
and loganberry bushes?
