Number 2 HIS expression originated when a man named Bolsover literally T kicked a bucket out from under him in order to commit suicide. He climbed onto a bucket, slipped his head into a noose on one end of a length of rope, tied the other end to a rafter above his head and kicked the bucket away thus stran gling himself to death. Someone took up the expression and popular ized it into present-day slang. «1 WtsWrn Newspaper Union. sion must have gained wide acceptance that it’s little risk to break and enter. Too many youngsters and older men who should know better have been getting into trouble. There is but one reasonable conclusion to draw, and that is that mild remonstrances being given the wayward are not accomplishing the desired end of discourag ing pilfering. Obviously crime waxes fat on mercy. More than a year ago winking at lawbreaking became the fashion in this section and now nothing is safe that isn’t nailed down and picketed 24 hours a day. Perhaps the time has arrived when we should start bleeding for victims instead of the dishonest. Leastwise, it wouldn’t hurt to try a little vigorous punishment once—results couldn’t be worse. Of course, special circumstances seem to sur round every case and each guilty person has his friends who intervene and plead in his behalf. But if we’re ever going to protect the public we’ve got to start cracking down on lawbreakers regardless of who they or their families and friends may be. Either we have laws or we don’t. The police do their part by apprehending guilty parties, but get little help or cooperation from there on. We’ve got to quit sobbing on shoulders of sticky-fingered nuis ances or continue to pay high bounty in loss of val uables, money and community reputation. As long as everything can’t be under lock and key, the most practical thing to do is to place under lock and key those who help themselves to other peo ple’s property.

MEMBERSWILL SURVEY WAYS TO OPEN ROAD THAT something should be done 1 to open up the Mount Ashland ski area to enthusiasts of southern Oregon and northern California was the opinion expressed by members of the Ashland post of the American Legion Tuesday night, according to Commander P. P. Whitmore. The organization plans to investigate probable ex pense of opening up the area to automobile traffic during winter months and will consider ways and means of accomplishing that end. Although no definite plans have as yet crystallized, it was brought out at the meeting that Ashland is missing an opportunity to be come a minor winter sports mecca by permitting this area’s best and closest ski slopes to remain ne glected because a half dozen miles of good mountain road are not cleared of snow. With a forest sei vice shelter constructed at a prepared slope, and with thous ands of acres of mountain top un usually well suited to the snow sport six months of the year, Leg ionnaires are interested in devis ing some plan whereby the area may be made accessible. The Leg ion commander has invited all per sons interested in having the area opened to be present at the or ganization's next meeting night, Tuesday, Jan. 24, in Pioneer hall. It was believed that city or county equipment might be loaned for the work, with expense limited to cost of fuel and salary of an operator. Snowfall on much of the road normally averages from but two to four feet and, with two or three clearings, should be travers- ible with chains during the entire winter season. Hilt, Medford and Ashlana ski enthusiasts have declared that Mount Ashland slopes are superior even to those found at Crater Lake, only drawback having been that it is necessary to hike in for several miles. Snowfields on the summit, at an elevation of about 7500 feet, are suitable for skiing from mid-fall to late spring.
