rector of the Federal Music Pro

in operation for the summer reg
ularly scheduled concerts in more
than Is cities. These concerts will
not only give employment to $1,000
formerly unemployed musicians,
but will also afford opportunities
for American composers, artists,
and conductors never before
realized.
Almost every city of any size in
the country will have regular con-
certs or will be included in the
itinerary of a WPA orchestra on
tour. The notable exception so
far is Washington.
1.-THE hour for the development
Of American music has struck" "
said DR.. Sokoloff recently in Los
Angeles. "The only trouble with
American music is that the Amer
lean public has not awakened to
the fact that it must be classed
with the finest being written TO-
day"
There never was a time when
America, either by birth or adop-
tion, had such a wealth Of musical
artists. The various musical
schools, the newer symphony or
chestras in Cleveland. Detroit, Los
Angeles and San Francisco, have
contributed scores of highly tai
ented musicians in the last few
years. The majority of them are
equivalent in talent to European
musicians.
II do not mean that we should
turn our backs on a Toscanini or
a Flagstaff because they come
from another land and speak an
alien tongue. They are great
geniuSes who should be welcomed
everywhere. The time has come,
however, to forego the fallacy that
music. to be good. must be Of the
European brand"

another overture which contains
excerpts from works which if used
in their entirety would make full

difference to styles of dressing and nudity, pro-
vided the individual behaves chastely."
Statements like that are coming from promi-
nent men and women throughout the country
in all walks of life," Spray told me. This" he
said, handing me another printed page, 'is the
Magma Carta of nudism." read:
Under proper safeguards we demand
81. The elimination from our statute books
of all legislation that makes social nudism per
illegal thing.
~ The setting aside of at least some part
of our public beaches, parks, picnic grounds
and recreation centers where nudsts may freely
live the natural life in the open
49, The constitutional right of free press
to print text and unaltered pictures which de-
Gently and naturally represent nudism as it ac-
tually is being lived and practiced."
Spray then told me of the coming nudst con-
vention at Elysium and what they hoped to ac-
complish.
To cement closer fellowship, and evolve
plans for a system where nudist groups through
out the West will operate under standardized
plan, working consistently together in spread
ing the movement eighteen recognized nudist
colonies in the West including the Denver,
Colorado, colony, will send representatives to
Eysium for huge concave scheduled for Sep
tember 18th to 10th, inclusive It is expected
that close to 1000 delegates will attend, and
preparations to accommodate this number in
tents and cabins we'll under way at the
Elysium colony
Business sessions will take place in the open
in the great bowl of the Santa Cruz Mountains
foothills that forms the colony. Many additional
recreational features are being added and aside
from the International Nudists' Convention held
annually, it will be the greatest gathering of
nudists in the history of the movement in
America, and certainly the greatest the Pacific
Coast has ever known Founder Spray of Elys-
ium will preside, opening the conclave, and
officers will be elected and installed during the
session.
@NE of the things that founder Spray laid
~ particular emphasis on was that they are
as much against Communism and all the other
political 'isms as they are against puritanism.
Americanism is their standard for measuring
the qualifications of their members. Each appli-
cant is thoroughly investigated by the directors
of the colony and If he does not measure up
to the high standards required of members, his
application is rejected. There is no regimenta-
tion of any kind. member may indulge in
games or the many recreations of the colony

comfort, of both body and mind is the aim Of

and attained real success in modern-day life.
"Nudism is not a back-to- nature, cave-man-
nish, primitive sort of thing that many people
think We are not interested in primitiveness.
We believe in fresh air and sunshine on our bod
ies free and unhampered by clothing, with all
possible modern conveniences." He waved his
arm in circle about the valley. do you see
anything primitive here?" he asked. 1--WE have
all the modernty of the city at Elysium-a
lodge, rooms with private bath a hotel dining
room, a la carte service, wide variety of out
door recreatonal games, swimming pools and
shower baths. This is not primitive surely, and,
If not, then what is primitive about us? Ger
tainly the human body cannot be called primi-
tive. There are, know, people who think it is
uncvilized to practice nudism. By some per-
verted twist of the mind they consider the body
lewd. Regarding that opinion, have only this
to say:
Either the human body is itself lewd, las
civious obscene and indescent it isn't any of
these. There is no alternative, no middle ground
no well, yes, and no. business about it. If the
human body is itself indecent in it's normal as
pects then all nude art is indecent, every Par
thenon frieze should be removed from our high
schools, and colleges, museums and art galleries.
the statuary of Michael Angelo should be
thrown out of the Vatican palace, the great
paintings of the world, many of them should be
forever yelled or, better yet, destroyed. If the
human body is indecent it should be covered
ever and always. Then would be virtue in never
looking upon the human form of man, woman
or child. If the human body is indecent, then
beauty is fed from the earth and the flower of
humanity is on the downward ramp. Thank
high heaven, there are mutitudes of people
who do not believe it."
THE young founder of Elysium then produced
a nudist publication in which was marked
off an item called "The Months Best Quotation"
It was taken from statement on the subject
made recently by Professor Max F. Meyer, of
the University of Missouri, which read in part:
Il believe in everybody's right to dress and
make oneself thereby more presentable. I also
believe that society ought to be educated to the
point of tolerating those who for the sake of
health desire to take off their clothes as we'll
There can be no wrong in taking a sun bath on
the beach unclothed or to swim unclothed To
bring about this education, certain bathing
places at certain times ought to be opened to
the public with this federation, very gradually
extending the practice as opposition from OBJ
jectors diminishes. Nudity no more than stylish

nudism. At Elysium, one may do exactly as he
likes. If one feels he is getting too much sun
or becomes cold, there is no staid and fast rule
against the wearing of clothing At the Satur-
day night dances, given each week at Elysium,
in valley ampitheater, under the stars all
members wear clothing.
Temperance in everything is what we be-
heve in and try to teach," Spray told me- "roo
much of anything is not good for the health of
body mind. This includes food drink, all
habits, and does not exempt sunshine. One may
easily get too much sun. We are constantly
cautioning our newer members to get used to
the sun gradually. The same is true of cold.
This temperance in all things is what we preach
and what we practice too."
Religion and politics also taboo at Elys-
ium. Discussions on these subjects avoided,
people of all creeds and of widely diversified
political beliefs are among the members They
are required above all things first, last and al
ways, however, to be responsible, trustworthy
citizens, of good character and reputation.
Radicalism in any line of thought disquafes an
applicant for membership. Personal belongings
are left about the camp Unfortunately. Every
one trusts his fellow man. and to the credit Of
nudsm, the Elysum colony has not single
record of dishonesty.
FLYSIUM now has more than 200 members,

people from the cities in great numbers seeking
the healthful rays of the sun, peacefuness and
serenity of the quite colony in the secluded
mountain fastness, relaxation and unhampered

members present on Saturdays and Sundays
Entire families drive up in cars for "a few

their homes and Offices with an exuberant VI
tality that is enviabe.
And So when 1 finally climbed into my car

nudism and one of the most enjoyable week.

ashamed, remembering my critical attitude upon
my arrival But my illusions had been dispelled.
1 came, 1 saw, and yes, was converted.
Nudisn, for health, relaxation, and the building
up of the body is fine thing. believe in 1t.
There are great many people who will dis.
agree with me, forgetting that felt just az
prejudiced when I drove down to Eysium as
they do now. Nobodys story of nudism can
justify it in the minds of unbelievers. But try

filled with clear, COOL mountain water. hadn't
gone far when my clothing began to make me
feel self-conscious a strange feeling, very
like imagine one might feel in walking nude
among group of clothed people, 1t was indeed
an uncomfortable experience, and the swimming
pool gave me an excuse to throw my last shred
of conventional prudishness to the winds
asked Mr.. Spray if I might try the pool, and
from that moment on I became one of them.
Several times during the afternoon felt like
pinching myself to see if it really !.
couldn't quite myself in the role, yet I felt
perfectly at home in it. After SWIM a game
of handball, a long walk about the grounds,
inspecting the cabins, tents, the main lodge,
which contains the dining room and social hall
and then another dip in the pool sat on the
veranda with the youthful founder and Albert
Arthur Allen, old-time newspaperman, who is
active in the colony. We discussed the objects
and aims of the movement, which today is
spreading over the world so rapidly that in the
United States, where nudism has developed much
slower than in Europe, there are already more
than 200 colonies.
A young girl brought us pitcher of lemon
ade. Spray explained that the first rule of every
nudist colony is that no liquor of alcoholic con-
tent is allowed the grounds under any cir
cumstances. Members found with liquor in their
possession are subject to immediate cancellation
of membership and under no condition will they
any member who is Objectionable in any way
whatever. Speaking for itself is the record of
no membership cancellations in the history Of
the colony.
AS George Spray talked his beautiful dealism
which faith and courage have made it possible
for him to practice and to pass on to Others
couldn't help feeling that he was dead right
Speaking of success in life he said
What is this thing the civilized word calls
success? Does success mean the attainment of
great quantities of money, of fame power? If
it does, then how empty that success is, If, in
gaining it, the body falls into decay. Most men
spend the best years of their life in accumu-
lating money for their old age. That, to them,
is success They think very little of their bodies
Nature will take care of my body they tell
themselves And Nature would if given half
chance. But how often do we find the man or
woman ready to retire from the business or
professional world whose body Is little more
than an ugly shell? Perhaps they have financial
independence, but they possess bodies too de-
cayed to enjoy the fine things in life that their
money would buy If that is success, give me
failure! If that is true happiness, give me dis
content! There Is only one real success, the
success that comes from a healthy body and
mind. Healthy bodies are essential to healthy
minds. With both we have conquered the world
