NUDISM BRINGS PROFIT

FACILITIES TO SUN-BATHERS MOVEMENT GROWS STEADILY tßy Air Mail—Special Correßpondent! LONDON, 18th June. : The growth of the cult of nudism in I England, though frowned upon by [tailors, is helping the English farmer j to make good his losses. More than 2.000 will reap a new ! harvest this summer. | They are placing their farms at the ! disposal of sun-bathers, who will be I offered facilities to practise their cult | in privacy. 1 A sun-bathing association has compiled a list of farms available. They are to be found in all parts of the country—from Cornwall and Devon to the Hebrides. Membership of the Association of which a well-known radio star is named as honorary president, costs 2s a month. In addition to farms, a number cf well-known estates are also to be placed at the disposal of the sun-wor-shippers. Started in 1930, the British nudist movement now has tens of thousands of members. Special boarding houses cater for nudist holiday makers. They expect to be crowded out this summer, as nudist holidays are rapidly growing in popularity.
