2. Mme. Guillotine Is Indisposed (The Paris News, Dec. 15, 1944)
BY EDWARD KENNEDY, AP Newsfeature Writer
PARIS--Wartime conditions prevent use of France's guillotine.
Hundreds of death sentences have been legally imposed in France in recent months--by shooting.
Most of those put to death were convicted of war crimes which call for shooting. But even those condemned for civil murders have faced the firing squad. No one has been guillotined for more than a year.
"It's impractical to use the guillotine in these times." an officer said.
[Several missing paragraphs]
"The guillotine has not been abandoned," the ministry says. "As normal conditions return it will be used again."

3. Give 'em a Break During the Holidays! (The Paris News, Dec. 15, 1944)
SANTA FE RAILROAD ADVERTISEMENT
Thousands of men and women in service will take a furlough trip home for Christmas.
For many of them it will be the last time they will be with their families for an indefinite period of time.
Of course, we want to provide them with space on our trains for comfortable trips to and from their homes.
To do this--with our limited passenger equipment and unprecedented volume of civilian travel--we must again ask your cooperation and friendly understanding.
As you can adjust your going and coming with more latitude than men and women in service--please--postpone your train trip until after the holiday period to enable us to provide accommodations for our soldiers, sailors and marines on Christmas furloughs.
E. H. Harvey, Agent
Telephone 6

4. Nudism Booming in Britain, Clammy Winter Curbs Activity (The Paris News, Nov. 13, 1949)
LONDON (AP)--Nudism is booming in Britain. More people are walking around naked than ever before.
Not in public, of course--the law frowns on that--but in flourishing "naturist" camps scattered throughout the country.
Leaders of the open air cult say happily they've never seen anything like it.
Britain's few hundred timid pre-war nudists have grown into a lusty movement 50,000 strong. In 1938 there were 20 nudist clubs. Now there are 60. Many non-club "naturists" enjoy life in the raw in the privacy of their own homes and gardens.
The British Sun Bathing Association (BSBA)--biggest nudist group--has just voted to incorporate nudity. It's forming a limited company of 200 shareholders.
Right now the clammy British winter has driven all except the hardiest "naturists" into long underwear. But the BSBA hopes next summer will be the best ever for the one out of every 1,000 Britons it says likes to frolic naked in the sun.
Mrs. Sylvia Bassam, 34, pretty Canadian-born secretary of the BSBA, says the association is campaigning for three things:
1. The legal right to bathe in the nude on approved public beaches.
2. More young women nudists;
3. To teach skeptics that "naturism" is "a healthy, wholesome way of live followed by intelligent people."
Mrs. Bassam, whose own suntan, she affirms, stretches unbroken from top to toe, says British nudists don't want mixed bathing with nudists and non-nudists takeing the sun together. They want certain public beaches set aside.
The BSBA doesn't even like G-string swim suits.
Its insistence on complete nudity for all posed a problem this summer at a club near London. Naked customers in the restaurant couldn't tell who were the waitresses. They were unclothed too. The hired help were given armbands.
