They’re opening their parks to almost anyone with an interested eye and the cost of admission. You don’t even have to take your clothes off unless you’ve got the stomach for it. It may sound like a ripoff, or maybe a put-on. But the Ameri can Sunbathing Association, rep resenting some 130 nudists clubs with 20,000 members across the nation, couldn’t be more serious. “I’m quite proud,” says Pres- High school drill meet here this Saturday High school drill teams meet Saturday in the State Drill Championships here.

But the new open-door policy announced Monday “is a goal we’ve been building toward for several years —made possible by the public’s increased acceptance of nudity,” said Johnston. Johnston said all ASA clubs, 90 per cent of the nudist organ izations in the United States, have agreed to the plan. “But probably only three-fourths of them will be as cordial at first as I’d like them to be.” Visitors will be charged about $5 per family at most facilities, he said, with no reductions for single men and women. And Jack Jackson, ASA ad vertising director, cautions that “The guys who just walk up and say “I wanna look at naked ladies are going to be frowned upon. . . . “Still,” he said, “I don’t think we need the careful screening we’ve relied on in the past. The Holiday Inn doesn’t screen guests, so why should we. But we do invite the men to bring their girl friends.” Johnston, a personnel officer for a large firm in Los Angeles, pre dicts the new policy—coupled with a new advertising campaign and publication of a guidebook com plete with maps — will spur growth by 25 per cent this year. And that, so to speak, would be quite a take off. “Dare to go Bare,” begins one ad scheduled to run next month in a national women’s magazine. “Nudists aren’t nuts — they’re siinply a slice of humanity who have learned that ‘naked’ is the world’s greatest common denom inator.” ming pool,” is the answer. “Shoe!, ing for the first 30 seconds, cot. fortable and soothing from ttf; The organization, based in Orlando, Fla., also has published thousands of booklets aimed at answering some of the most- frequent questions from the un exposed.
