PAGE THREB NUDIST EXPONENT SAYS COLONIES TO Kalamazoo Dancing Master Held for Indecent Ex posure Firm in Belief High Courts Will Uphold Him CHICAGO, Sept. 35. (UP) A countryside dotted with nudist camps in numbers approximately those of moving picture theaters was vlsioned today cjt a certainty of the future toy Fred Ring, Kalamazoo, Mich., danc ing master. The conductor . of the recently widely publicized sun sports camp at Allegan, Mich., pointed in an in terview to the rapidly increasing popularity of nudism as evidence to upport his conviction. Ring and his attractive wife, Ophelia, have had their camp in the groves near Allegan for two years. Attendance has Increased each month during the summer. Business men, professional men, artists and stenog raphers, all swelled, the rolls. Many were from Chicago. Many took their wives and families. , Sexes Play Together At the advent of summer's greatest heat, more and more of them sought recreation In the tree banked swim ming pool and the forest glades. Men and women together, they played at archery, volley ball, tug of war and patch ball. Then, with September, came neigh bors who spied out, and, seeing, de plored "such goings on." After the neighbors came police, armed, with field glasses and formal complaints. Court proceedings resulted. On Sept. 21, Justice of the Peace Pidus E. Pish heard the testimony in a packed courtroom, and bound Mr. and Mrs. Ring over to the grand Jury on charges of Indecent exposure. The one-time dancing master who Is In Chicago conferring with attor neys who will defend him, said that he is confident, however, of a verdct In his favor. Means Moral Uplift Just how long it will be before nudism camps are as many and as widely patronized as movies, depends upon how long it takes the people i the united States to appreciate what nudism Is and means, says Ring. While he is eloquent over nudism's advantages physically, he believes that Ita greatest value to the human race lies In moral uplift. "In nudism's day-to-come," he said "it will be the ordinary thing for the average householder to ask his wife: "Well, dear, what camp will It be this weekend?" "Nudism grows apace," Ring con tinued. He added that in 17 test cases In es many states, nudism in camps established for the purpose has been held by the courts not to constitute indecent exposure. To Fight Case Ring Is backed by the Internation al Nudist conference, the governing body of the nudist movement in the United States. Ho and hia attorneys are prepared, he said, to take the case to the United States supreme court if necessary. The nudist movement was Intro duced In this country only six years ago by the American League for Physical Culture and Ring says it now has almost 500 practising camps. This growth is despite the fact, he said, that extreme care Is exercised In admitting patrons. Not Just any one Is admitted. The first require ments, he said, are good character and high Ideals. The previous public conduct of an applicant Is Investl pated. "As to opposition," Ring said, "a narrow and restricted concept of de cency Is the biggest enemy of nud ism." "And as to what he terms unwar ranted criticism by the uninformed, the conduct of people In a nudist camp would put the average house party to shame." -4- IMP US ON RECEIPT OF WORD RIMER Congratulations go to Ernest R. i Gilstrap, business manager of the. Mail Tribune today, and he Is re ceiving them with a smile (that very special kind that grandfathers are wearing this season.)

A. ! An article, appearing tn the N. B. A. ! Journal, written by Dr. Joseph Rosier, president of the National Education association, has been brought to the attention of the Medford Parent Teacher council, and because of the appeal made In the article, particu larly appropriate to the Medford dis trict, Mrs. Arthur Short, president of the Medford council, has asked that the message be carried on. The article reads: "Parent-Teacher associations during this critical period for education and for the nation have performed an in valuable service. They have stood by the schools faithfully and intelli gently. These state and local Parent Teacher associations are banded to gether In one great organization The National Congress of Parents and Teachers. It Is a tower of strengm in the educational field because It consists of an effectively organized group of more than a million and a half of the people whose children are tn school and who are therefore vitally interested In education. I urge the support of the Btate and national congress because the local Parent Teacher associations are, in a large measure, dependent upon these agen- cts for an adequate and stimulating Droeram that will keep our citizens informed as to the needs of the school child of today. During the past few vears the congress has developed such a program. It wouia oe a caiamj for it to suffer any membership loss at this time. The greater demands of the present require Increased sup port. Principals and teachers can do a ereat service by urging local officers to make full payment of state and na tional dues. Let us support tne parent-teacher movement local, state and national. It Is our best hope for effective support of public education." - Men's Bible Class To Be Honored Tuesday.
