A sum of about $150 million has been trimmed from the defence budget. Ostensibly, this has been done as one way of reducing governmental expendi- tures in the interest of curbing infla- tion. It is coupled with a reduction of over $75 million in civil expenditures. This takes the British government three-fourths of the way to the govern- ment's objective of a $300 million re- duction in its expenditures, There is, however, ter than the question of It is a recognition that with the exist- thermo-nuclear wea- has chan- re to this mat- ving money. tence of modern pons, the ged. It is now sion by both powers of hydrogen patte rn for defence conteded that the posses- Ruésia and the Western bombs, these in Drastically themselves are an effective deterrent to a major war, The feeling has grown in recent months that it is this fact which has caused a changed outlook on the part of Russia. It may also have been a deciding facter in bringing about a re- duction in Britain's defence spending. It is reported that Prime Minister St. Laurent of Canada and Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden of Britain had a dis cussion on this question of reduced de- fence spending before the conference met. This may have been prompted by Britain's desire to make even more drastic reductions in its defence budget, something it would not be likely to do without consultation with other free na- tions within the Commonwealth, All Commonwealth nations have been spending heavily on armaments and armed forces. All of them would like to be relieved of as much- as possible of this heavy burden. Perhaps something tangible in this direction may come out of the prime ministers' conference.

If we overlook this fact we are but burying our heads in the sand This sort of thing has been said over and over again in recent months by leaders in business and industry, in the sciences and in education, They see very clearly the need for a great expansion of the facilities for training and edu tion in medicine, engineering, physics, chemistry and other applied sciences. Leadership in making this expansion possible must come from somewhere, and we can see no better place from which it could emanate than from the office of Premier Frost in Queen's Park. With education completely under pro- vincial government jurisdiction, it is fit- ting that the government should bring plan to do the job which the premier says needs to be done To De Gaulle firm conviction that the mew French constitution was unworkable. Men. like Mendes-France, Antoine Pinay, Robert Lacoste and even the firebrand Pierre Poujade seem to have reached the same conclusion. The hopeless impasse in Al- geria, where there is now full-scale war, has created a movement have De Gaulle make a comeback. De Gaulle, however, sticks to his for- mer opinions. He will take over leader- ship of France only on two conditions: (1) The present assembly must be dis- solved. (2) Adoption of a new constitu- tion based on the American system of president and congress.

McINTYRE HOOD In this column yesterday, we described briefly our visit to the naturist' camp in the Niagara Pen- insula near St. Catharines. It was an experience about which we could write a great deal without contributing very much to one's understanding of why there is a growing body of people in Can- ada who have become naturists. It may have been noted that in yesterday's article we refrained from using the term "nudists" in connection of those who pursue the cult of naturism. This was done, purposely, because the "nudism" which is practised in a naturist camp is only a part of the philo- sophy of life of those who are members of these clubs and so- cieties. We have to confess that the thing which impressed us most of all was the complete attitude of naturalness of all the members whom we saw at the Sun Valley Gardens. They moved around, played their games on the volley- ball and badminton courts as if it were quite the normal thing to do in their unclad condition. And to them, so long as they are with- in the secluded confines of their camp, it is the normal thing. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS We talked with many of them in an effort to get at their pro- cesses of thinking with reference to naturism. Some of fhe answers we received were revealing +. 'We like the complete freedom of activity in the naturist camp," said one parent who was there with his wife and children." This camp is a family one, and the children derive even more benefit from it than do their parents. There is no doubt about it," he added, "the association with mem- bers of the opposite sex as we have it here is wholesome and will be a deterrent to questionable behaviour." SOURCE OF REFRESHMENT One couple, only four years out from Germany; confessed that they were naturists because they had been brought up that way. "In Germany" said the husband ever since we were children, we haves been attending 'naturist camps and have become accus- tomed to this free, open-air way of complete relaxation. I work in a steel factory all week, in Hamil- ton, and my work imposes great physical and mental strain. I do rot believe 1 would be able to carry on with it if we did not have these weekends with na- ture. The very fact of taking off our clothes and being perfectly free to wander around in the sun- shine and fresh air, is a great source of refreshment of body and spirit." "But could you not achieve the same thing by going to a beach and taking the sun in a bathing suit?" we asked. "Definitely no" 'was the an- swer." There is something in the practice of naturism which re- leases the spirit, and lifts us out of ourselves so that we can com- pletely forget the rest of the week and the work we have to do. That is one of the great benefits we achieve hy coming here." DOUBTS DISPELLED Another young woman, a native of Scotland, told us that this was her first year of naturism, and she grateful that she had found this way of relaxation. "I came here with a friend who was -a naturist" she said. "At first, I was very dubious about coming, but finally I agreed. The first time I came here I felt a sense of shock, and I did not join in the activities or undress. But by the time the weekend was over, and I had observed how the camp was conducted, my sense of shock disappeared. I came again the next weekend, and became a na- turist. I can truly say that I have benefitted tremendously from the weekends I have spent here. work in a laundry in Toronto. It fs hard work in a confined at- mosphere. Here I learn to breathe freely again, and my skin absorbs the sunshine and also breathes in the fresh, wholesome air. I am convinced now that naturism is a great tonic." One of the members came from Vienna, Austria, and she said that she had been attending naturist camps since she was a little girl, "My mother and father took me to naturist camps almost' as soon as I was able to walk, and I was a regular attendant until I came to Canada four years ago. For the first two years, I missed that more of life. We find it the finest formthan anything else in this new Tory Member Brandon Dies Monday Night TORONTO (CP) W. Elme Brandon, 50, Progressive Conser- vative member of the Ontario Legislature for York West, died Monday night. Mr. Brandon's death created the only vacancy in the 98-seat legislature.

In life we see everywhere The handiwork of man's Craftmanship, yet how Puny are the greatest Of all human achievenients Compared with the creation Of the universe and the Laws which govern the Great world of nature in Which we live and move, And which transcend by Far the greatest of all Man's achievements. There are few who deny The existence of the Divine Creator, but There are all too many country. Now I am because last opened, and member," BUSINESS MAN'S VIEW We talked to a St. Catharines business man and his wife whe had become so enamoured of the life in the naturist camp that they have built their own cabin in the woods in the confines of the camp, 'After being in my office for long hours all week long, it is a won- derful relief to come here, to live in the woods in nature's way, We have been coming here since the camp opened, and we have never at any time seen anything objec- tionable in the conduct of those who attend. Everyone is scrupu- lously careful to avoid anything which would give offence or give the movement a bad name. We spend our weekends in this way because we find it good for body and soul", was his parting com- ment. NOTHING TO HIDE Mrs. Ruehle, wife of the owner and operator of the camp, also stressed the whclesome atmos- phere which prevails, and we had to agree with her that, in spite of the fact that the members car- ried on their activities unclothed,~ we saw nothing that was abnoxi- ous. "This camp is a cheerful, happy place," said Mrs. Ruehle. "We have nothing to hide. Some are here for health reasons. Some enjoy the freedom offered by go- ing around without their clothes. Othere are here because they are seeking a means of complete re- laxation. We try to fulfil all these requests." So we could go on, quoting the views of the naturists who are con- vinced they have found the secret of health, happiness and a sound mind in a sound body, in their practice of naturism. We were seeking to find out the impelling force which led them to naturism. The answers were varied, but in the main, they were centred on the one thought that they had found a way of relaxation, of free- dom without licence, and of so- journing in a wooded paradise un- der natural conditions devoid of anything of an immoral or dem- oralizing character. That is how they look at it. And having spent a day in their midst, we donot feel we have the right to quarrel with their viewpoint and their mode of expressing it. We can only say that those who are mentally' adjusted to becom- ing naturists are few in number. There are not many who can so lightly disregard the conventions of society, But for others to say that they are wrong would seem like exercising prerogatives of judgment that might be biased. They 'are entitled to their opin- ions, just as we are to our own. happy in year this 2 Jaa I at once became i IN DAYS GONE BY 25 YEARS AGO Simcoe Street United: Church was the scene of an inspiring pro- gram of sacred music under the auspices of Simcoe Street Church and Calvary Baptist Church.
