London, Aug. 24 (UP) –
The naked truth, the Yorkshire Observer observed today, is that nudism is on the increase and the war is responsible.
Reporting on a survey of several nudist camps in Yorkshire and Lancashire, the Observer said undraped colonists were on the increase and prudery on the wane.
The urge to frolic in the sun unencumbered by clothing, the Observer reported, has reached into all classes and one camp near Harrogate numbers among its members a vicar, a nonconformist clergyman and a physician.
In recent months, there has been such a rush for membership in the camps, according to the survey, that operators have been forced to limit membership to married couples with children.
