50, 51, 52.
A Young married, Man named LeW and his family from Ottawa
were spending the long fourth of July weekend in BaYfield. He was
outside working at his car in the evening, and knew the holiday was
being celebrated with gusto next door, despite the beer strike, A Par
drove up, the. house door oPene4 and a woman went out to the
waiting vehicle, clad only in her "birthday" suit, and got in, and it
drove off.
Lew was aghast! Was there a nudist colony in this place? No,
Lew, no nudist colony, but from time to time there have been such
bizarre
eA recentlnciderI letterts to. Mrs. Thompson under Elizabeth Thompson
advises column states that Dr. Margaret Mead, well-known
anthropologist advocates nudism as a cure for many of our neuroses.
The writer says that in this bikini age benefits that exist in nudism
to-day are mental rather than physical. Upon enterting a nudist
career and shedding clothing, a great feeling of mental wen,being was
exercised as the prudery of centuries fell away and no part of the
body was considered dirty. (Lucy would like to interject that it
would only be considered "dirty" if bathing had been neglected).
A nudist career would never suit Lucy. She is what has been
described as a Prude. Right from the time she was a child her
frequent nightmare was being out on the street clad only in an
undervet, vainly trying to pull it down to cover herself. Surely it
must have come down through the ages since Eve first sought a fig
leaf in the garden of Eden!
Actually, Lucy thought authorities in Toronto did a grave
injustice to Dorothy Cameron when she exhibited a painting of a
nude figure in her Art Gallery and was subsequently brought into
court, fined and lost her business over it. There have been beautiful
paintings of nude figures by old Masters which to-day are priceleis.
As far as clothing goes in this climate, it is needed for comfort
as well as appearance. Not many persons have perfect figures in the
nude! Fine feathers make fine birds! Both men and women cover up
the discrepancies in their figures with the latest of fashions.
Those who enjoy working in the open air without even a loin
cloth have been spotted in the district when the century was young.
A Hardy old Scot who had a little farm in Goderich Township
always took off his clothes to till the soil. There are children
(grandparents now) who noted that he always bathed in a large iron
kettle and dressed before returning to his home in the village. So one
morning after he had gone to the field they hid his clothes. They
never did know how he got home in daylight or whether he waited
until night. However, one of them had a guilty conscience and told
her parents. The man's clothing was returned immediately to the
place from which it had been taken and the children forbidden on
threat of dire punishment to play such pranks.
Then there was the time about 15 years ago when someone
reported to the village policeman, late at night, that there must have
been an accident as there was the body of a woman lying in the
ditch between Calive and Victoria Place. It was in November. The
man of the law arrived, turned lights on the supposed victim of a
tragedy, and she got up out of the leaves and ran through the cool
air without a stitch of clothing on her. The officer of the law was so
astonished he did not follow.
Lucy wonders what the "Village Fathers" of about 40 years
ago would say could they but see the mini skirts and other brief
clothing of to-day.
When Murdock Ross, Lewis Thomson and Sam Houston were
village Trustees, they had notices posted about the village and in the
Post Office which read? "Any person or persons wearing bathing
suits, shorts or other obscene costume above the high water line will
be prosecuted. "By Order"
There may have been one or twe warnings given by Constable
William Osmond, but there were no prosecutions!
It was withogreat delight that Lucy behind the wicket listened,.
to ,the various reactions. The one which she enjoyed most was when
a cottager, Clarence Kilty, came into the Post Office read the notice
over several times: "obscene! obscene!" said he, "Well, by George if
they are Obscene they shouldn't be wearing them at all!"
Maybe we are prudes but on the whole, the citizens of
Bayfield desire to, keep our village quiet, with an old world
atmosphere.
We have no industry, other than fishing so there is no excuse
for noise. If those people who celebrate national holidays or other
occasions into the wee hours of the morning were awakened by
firecrackers or could hear the screams resembling hyenas and the
loud laughter of the jack ass which are carried on the sound waves to
disturb those who need their rest, let alone elderly residents of the
village, perhaps they would begin to play the Golden Rule. "Do unto
others as you would they should do onto you."
