Vicar Blames Nudism for Crime

Nudism and the National Fitness Campaign are responsible for an increase in sex crimes.

That is the opinion of the Rev. Robert B. Irons, vicar of Sr. Paul's Church, Shanklin, Isle of Wight.

"The modern pours contempt on the ancient modesty." he writes in the current issue of his parish magazine.

The result has been an increase in sex crimes and the sex problem has become a crisis in our national life.

Referring to the National Fitness campaign, he says, "Over £3,000,000 has been wasted in what was expected to evolve a race of super men and women.

"A visit to Shanklin Beach in August is more than sufficient to demonstrate that these back-to-nature lunatics are far deom being visions of health and beauty.

Doctors, lawyers and ministers who are nudists should be consistent and go about their everyday jobs in the nude, he suggests.

Fell From Express - Cries "I Want My Mummy"

As an express train flashed through Abergele Station, North Wales, at sixty miles an hour, the door of a compartment swung open and a six-year-old boy hurtled out on the embankment.

From two miles onwards, where the train was stopped, the child's father and mother ran to the spot where he fell, expecting the worst, fearing he was dead.

There, surrounded by a crowd of holiday-makers, the found the boy only slightly injured crying "I want my mummy."

The boy who had this remarkable escape was Ronald Clayton, of Breck-road, Liverpool, son of a railway clerk.

His holiday over, has was going home with his mother and father and brother when the accident happened.

His mother told the Daily Mirror yesterday: "Ronnie went over to the other side of the carriage to get a biscuit. He was looking towards me, leaning on his elbow against the door. Suddenly it flew open and he fell out. I shouted: He's gone!"

My husband pulled the communication cord and the train stopped two miles further on.

Ronald was taken to Colwyn Bay Hospital, where he was detained for X-ray examination. He had a cut face, bruises and a broken wrist.

"Not Responsible for Crash" - L.N.E.R.

When the inquest on three of the four women killed in the Hilgay, Norfolk, express crash was opened at Downham Market on Saturday, Mr. F. C. Scott, for the L.N.E.R. expressed the company's regret, and added :-

"I am instructed to say that the company consider that it is clear, in their view, that it is not an incident for which they can accept responsibility."

Mr. Reuben Height, driver of the lorry into which the train crashed at a level crossing, was represented by Mr. W. O. Carter, who associated himself with the expression of sympathy, and added:-

"I do not think this is the proper time to say anything with regard to any question of liability." The inquest was adjourned.
