Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1945-01-07

IRENE fineneSs. Rubbed on the skin
il causes an almost unbearable itch
ing, and the more the skin is scratched
the deeper the hairs penetrate and
the worse il feels. That put an end
to nude parades for while.
But a new controversy has arisen
between the Doukhobors d tn e
Canadian government. One of the
main tenets of the Doukhobor faith
is that war-or any kind of violence
should never exist.
The government, taking a realistic
viewpoint, says that it nevertheless
does exist and that DoukhObors, like
anybody else, must conform 10 con-
scription laws.
That brought about new nude pro
tests. which brought arrests, which
in turn brought a lot more undress-
ing, even in Nancouvers staid police
court
Then "a of the Doukhobor elders
went into conference and spent 4G
days bordering the problem. On the
41st day. they announced that nudity

would be discarded as a means Of
protests, although retained among
themselves "as means for the con-
quest of the spirit over the flesh"
At the same time they took up
the matter of mass migration.
DR. Walter Siegmeister, New
York expert on eugenics, who has
been acting as self-appointed ennis
Sary for the cult, has proposed that
they move TO South America.
He thinks an ideal haven for them
would be in a fertile section of Ecua-
DOR on the eastern slope Of the An.
des-a region 1900 feet above sea
level and free from insect pests and
tropical diseases.
From the Doukhobors' viewpoint,
the plan has distinct advantages. 1t
never gets very cold down there, so
they could undress to their hearts
content They could raise four crops
a year, too.
But will the Ecuadorean govern.
ment welcome such mass migra'
ton? That remains TO be seen.

ed PuSeian cultiSts who have
grown sturdily but thornily on
Canadian soil, have recently been go
ing through the throes of two tough
decisions.
They have made one-to stop TAX
ing off their clothes in public when
ever they get upset about something
The other is perhaps equally dras.
tic-whether 10 stay in Canada and
submit 10 CONSUMPTION, taxes, educa.
ton and other types of governmental
"meddling," or whether 10 pull up
stakes and move 10 a country which
is more liberal and less easily
shocked.
It's beginning to look now as
though they may move, and may Sc
lect some South American country as
their future home.
The Doukhobors are a strange,
silent people, practically unchanged
since they fled Russia in 1899 de-
spite the two generations that have
been born since then. They emigrat-
ed to Canada for the same reason
that the Pilgrims came 10 America
religious persecution. They were
looking for complete freedom OF wor-
ship, and they're still looking for 1t.
The trouble is that the Doukho-
bors' creed extends to every function

They frown on individual gain and

slider all their holdings as communal
property. That, in effect, makes it

they should pay taxes.
Their religion says that 10 be fully

But the Doukho-
bors kept right on

them, men, women and children, dis

religious service.
At first their land in SaSkatche
wan was so remote that no one paid
much attention &c this within. But as
the territory gradually became more
thickly settled. the neighbors began

of unclad worshipers. II was then
that the Doukhobors learned that
their nudity had a definite nuisance

Ever since, whenever they got mad
about taxes or census takers or any
function of an interfering govern
ment, large groups of them marched
to the nearcst- town and took off
their clothes.

Pribilof Five Dishes Out live

Whittier-Some enterprising candidatef or office seeking cleo tion in state where hill billy band is g must in the campaign strategy, will probably mark down the Pribilof Five in his postwar future book, once he hears of this native musical az gregatlon,
 For this group of five natives can give out with the corn in true hill billy style and from the reception accorded the crew by GI audiences at this post, the Pribilof Five is definite hit.
 All five of the members of this band were born and raised on the Pribilof Islands, located west of the Alaskan mainland and famous for it's seal preserves. Since music at camp fire gath erings is the major form of rec reation on the Pribilofs, it was natural that the children were
 
 given musical instruments and allowed to pick out various tunes. All five members of this band had played with different musical organizations on their home islands.
 The five met for the first time at Juneau, Alaska, since they were inducted into Uncle Sans forces about the same time. They were all transferred to Ex- cursion Inlet for training and 1t was while statIonea there that they banded together into what is now called the Pribilof Five. It was in November 1943, when they had been assigned to an infantry unit at Fort Rich  ardson that they made their first public appearance.
 Their talents were limited tc jam sessions around the barracks last winter, but when they were assigned to the Army post al Whittier in August of this year they really hit the spotlight.
