It was also decided that people should pledge andbuy additional Bonds. In that conr nection, the Emergency State of Israel Bonds was launch-^■ed.'..-,
; "A vast aniount of new pledges were made, to be paid in the hear future," declared Campaign Chairr man Donald Lipman, "but our volunteers and staff have not yet been able to tabulate these. All our energies are concentrated towards depositing the cheques in the bank so that the dollar credits can be cabled to New York and made immediately available to the state of Israel."
Nathan 0. Hurwich, Israel Bond cash collection chairman, reported that monies collected were on State of Israel Bond pledges made earlier in the year; some on Yom Kippur Appeal pledges; and some were new purchas-

es over and above,what had already been paid. He urged that those who made pledges early in the week when the banks were closed should turn the cash in as quickly as possible, to be forwarded to the New York account of the state of Israel.
Sparking .the Emergency State of Israel Bond Campaign was ia parlor meeting held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Cohon on Monday afternoon. At that time, 23 community leaders plied-ged $915,000 over and above their very substantial Bond pledges made earlier in the year. The sum of $200,000 in cash was paid at the meeting and another $225,-000 early the next day with assurances that the balances would be made available by the end of the week.
\ Other parlor meetings held at the homes of Mr. and Mr. and Mrs. George Gold-list raised the total afternoon support for Israel to over $1.25 million in new and additional Bond commitments, al Bond commitments.
Tens of thousands of worshippers in Toronto's 47 congregations expressed their solidarity with Israel's embattled people by the most massive volume of Israel Bond commitments ever re^ corded by Yom Kippur ap^ peals in this community.
The following afternoon
(Sunday), Foreign Minister Abba Eban of Israel spoke directly by phone from New York to a gathering of Tor-ontQ rabbis and community leaders in the Iward room of the Bond office. Eban urg'ed full mobilization, of ,the community to raise maximum dollars -in the crisis situa:tion. This resulted in the decision to schedule specia;! Israel Emergency meetings in every toronto synagogue on Mon-. day evening, to raise additional Bond and Israel Appeal funds. ^

Their garments are forgotten at Quebec's Laurentian Park
By T. SCHNURMACHER
MONTREAL -
Montrealers escape the summer heat by heading north to the Laurentians. However, not all of them went to the traditional resorts. Many flocked to thfe Laurentian Nature Park.
Here the "shmata" business was forgotten and so were the "garments". Why? Because the^LaurentianNa'*: ture Park is North America' s largest nudist resort, and Quebec's first.
Kathryn Hurwitz, one of the co-owners and co-founders of the camp explained some of the members of the camp were Jewish: "My husband is Jewish and 1 have recently converted to Judaism. It is not surprising that Jewish people like our camp. Jewish people enjoy family life and at our camp they can relax together by getting rid of,their clothes and their inhibitions^^'
The Laurentian Nature Camp is located 59 miles from. Montreal in St. Michel
de Wentworth and it comprises over 500 acres of unspoiled mountain, forests and private lakes. The camp is open year round and has all kinds of activities varying from canoeing, sailing, swimming, and badminton in the summer, to snow-shoeing and ice-skating in the winter. A ski hill is to be built this winter. Mrs. Hurwitz confirmed that the nu-
worked for IBM and his wife taught home economics at Danforth Technical School. They vacationed in France last year and visited a nudist spa in St. Tropez.
"Ever since then we were hooked," says Mrs. Hurwitz. "We enjoyed ourselves so much there that we joined a nudist camp near Toronto. Later we quit our jobs and now we work full-time.

ture, were answered by many thousands' of volunteers from the Jewish communities outside Israel.
Hundreds of students at York University have been gathering every hour to hear the latest reports on the Mideast crisis. The Bear Pit, an informal, meeting place in the University's Ross Building, • has been turned into a communications area for the purpose. At 12 noon a meeting for recitations from the psalms was held there.
A desk has been set up for collection of donations in cash and Bonds. "Everybody is very concerned a;nd the response has been good," one of the students told The CJN over the sound of vigor-

"Our camp is a place where people can rest and relax. Unlike other nudist camps, we do not force people to disrobe as soon as they come in. We let them do it on their own time. We never seem to have any trouble. After a while, everybody feels more at ease and joins in."
The first Miss Nude Galaxy Pageant took place at the Laurentian Nature Camp at the end of August.
Mrs. Hurwitz and her husband Alfred moved to Montreal from Toronto. Hurwitz

BY HAROLD WEINSTEIN MEMBER AMERICAN GEM SOaETY
.Rietuming from a vacation, it struck me that almost everyone I saw this summer sported a pair of sunglasses. Obvious, you say? Well, of course. But I was reminded that at one time in -history, sunglasses were a thing of great luxury. The Emperor Nero is said to have started the whole thing. He had very weak eyes, you see, and viewed, his gladiatorials through a large emerald. He thus protected his faulty vision from the sun.
The Chinese emperors loved tea, but they loved luxury more. Theirnational beverage was served to them in delicate cups carved froift jade. This was an everyday item for them.
You may have read my column about the favulous Faberge Easter Eggs. This gold smith for the crowned heads of Russia and Europe also created, always from precious stones and metals, bowls, cigarette cases, picture frames, clocks, stamp moisteners, thermometers, pens, dog collars, cane handles ...
Diamond buttons were frequently used on the fancy brocade coats worn by French kings. During the reign of Elizabeth I, women used a great deal of seed-pearl embroidery to enliven their gowns. Amethyst, jade, lapris-lazuli and carnelian were carved into fantastic buckles which fastened the robes of ranking Chinese mandarins.
Although they are collectors items now, Chinese snuff bottles, which were often carved from jade and other precious gem material, began simply as expedient containers. The Japanese had their special little good-luck pieces called netsukes. These too are collectors items, especially those carved from ivory and inlaid with gems.
Today, we almost exclusively enjoy gemstones for their own sake. Gordon Jewellers doesn't stock bejewelled Ijookmarkers or pot holders, but our fine jewellery deserves your admiration just the same.
