(AP) Just inside the door of the airconditioned clubhouse. two young women busily went about the task of cutting out material for a new dress. They looked as if they could use it. They were naked: "I've got to have something to wear one said. The scene was Rock Haven, a 20-acre nudist retreat secluded off Bradyville Road about seven miles south of Murfreesboro.

Rock Haven boasts a membership in excess of 130 from Nashville, Murfreesboro, and other Midstate cities, as well as Alabama, Kentucky. Georgia and other states. The members come to sun themselves, dip in the pool, play volleyball and just relax. These people have one advantage over other campers. They don't have to worry about packing.

Membership pretty well runs the spectrum of social standards, from the very wealthy to the very poor. But most are "upper middle class." including such-professions as medicine, engineering. teaching, law and the clergy. Rock Haven's average age, not including children, is about 30 years and members come in all shapes and sizes. In reality this camp is about like any other club or resort except the members wear no clothing.

"We're about like any commercial camp," said one member, "except that if you go to KDA and take off your clothes you'll get arrested. If you try to camp here and don't take off your clothes, you get kicked out." Though members walk around wearing just what they brought into this world, a strict moral code is enforced and any attempt to stray from these rules is quickly "frozen out. Nudists at Rock Haven swear by their way of life, firm in their belief that their's is the proper way to meet Mother Nature on her own terms. But they realize their devotion to meet the great out of doors enamored with only a smile is not the life-style of their associates back home. even some members of their family.

Nudists enjoy pool at Rock Haven camp "So, we play dumb," said a Nashville wife and mother who, with her husband and children, is faithful in her attendance. "When some say they've heard about a nudist colony in Rutherford County, we act surprised and maybe a little shocked. "When our friends tell nudist jokes, we laugh at them." "'We really are not said an Alabama man as he and his wife climbed nude out of the pool. "We are basically shy people, especially my wife. She even blushes at the slightest off -colored story.

The Alabama professional man said he and his wife, who have no children, are not faced with the problem of excuses to give parents for regular weekends away from home. They live a long distance from their families. "But we can't afford to tell our friends," he said. "They just wouldn't understand." This policy of "playing dumb" is so strictly observed one woman said, that she has met friends at a nudist camp and neither knew the other observed the practice. Rock Haven was formed about three years ago.

and the number of participants has grown regularly. "Ironically," one man said, "we find that most of the interest in joining the club is initiated by the wives. They bring their husbands and they seem to have fewer 1 reservations about "Last week a woman brought her husband. He had to take two nerve pills to get enough courage to strip. She only had to take Sunbathers here quickly laud the courtesy extended them by their neighbors, and say they could not be treated better that they are accepted readily and stores even offer regular credit because "they tell us they've never lost a cent to Rock Haven." the only trouble we have out here." a young wife said, "is with airplanes flying over.

But we just wave to them and, if they fly low enough, we take down their number and report it to the manager, who takes what ever action is 'A number of helicopters fly over often," young woman said.

clear 78 61 .00 WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon's welfare reform plan, in trouble in the Senate for months, now appears to have only a slim chance of enactment when Congress reconvenes July 17. The reason is that Congress. just before it began its present two-week recess. extracted the principal political sweeteners from the big Social SecurityWelfare bill of which the Nixon reform proposal is a part. These sweeteners were an across-the-board Social Security increase.

which Congress made 20 per cent, and a longsought provision to adjust Social Security benefits periodically as the cost of living rises. They were attached to a debt limit bill and signed into law by the President even though he did not favor a 20 per cent hike. This leaves the highly controversial welfare reform plan for families with dependent children as the principal remaining feature of the omnibus bill. The bill containing Nixon's version of the new family plan and. at that time, a 5 per cent general Social Security boost, easily cleared the House in June last year.

Chess battles bloody NEW YORK (AP) The insulted egos and white-knuckled tensions before the FischerSpassky chess match may seem to be a blazing battle, but pale beside the tales of bloodthirsty games in Medieval Iceland. Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. Games were often interrupted because somebody was getting hacked to pieces. When? a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent the face with it. leaving a Him' bloody mess.

"Take that!" exclaimed the king. Kognvald rode off in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open. These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's 'Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature," published in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky, the world champion.

Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line. today's championship prize is chicken feed. Rognvald played King Louis for his head. A woman was the prize in one knightly saga. A king put up his horse, falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged game, winner take all.

The king lost. He left the game on foot, unarmed and unloved. "Little consolation do you derive from the game of chess for now I own your costly objects!" said his competitor. Talk about concentration. Today, Fisher feels the glare of the elaborate chess table in Reykjavik may be too bright.

It may distract him. Fischer could take a lesson from King Valdemar, in the year 1157. The king concentrated SO hard on his chess game that when Canute gave him a big kiss, he didn't even look up from the board. It took a troop of enemy soldiers rushing into the room to get his attention. The king lept up to fight.

He fell with a wounded thigh. But his men covered him with their bodies for protection. They were chopped to bits. and the king escaped. The game was never finished.

Concentration could have been the dowfall of Eric Plovpenning, a wise ruler. it is said. was lured to the chess table by his blackhearted brother in the summer of 1250. The brother abused Eric as he sat playing chess, and Eric was killed that very night. "Poor King! Little did he merit so cruel a checkmate!" was the comment from Fiske.

shuffled into storage and forgotten. "It was terribly embarrassing." Mrs. Pagano said. "I didn't remember until they But the family welfare provisions ran into severe opposition from conservatives in the Senate Finance Committee and the legislation has been stuck in that panel ever since. The main features of the President's welfare reform plan are a $2.400 guaranteed annual income for a family of four and.

for the first time. federal payments for the working poor. Finance Committee conservatives. including nearly all of the group's Republican members. said this would be much too costly and voted to kill it.

They substituted a tough Workfare plan which would force many of those now on the Aid to Families with Dependent Children rolls to take jobs or lose any further aid. This plan, in turn, is anathema to many Senate liberals. They are backing a third alternative pushed by Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff, a more generous version of the Nixon proposal.

For one thing, it would provide a family of four $3,000 at the start, and higher payments later. Most senators involved in the dispute. however, agree that none of the three now can command a majority vote in the body. In this situation, two important Finance members. Ribicoff and Sen.

Wallace F. Bennett, R-Utah, said in separate interviews they would not be surprised if the Social bill goes down the drain. The Finance panel completed its work on the big bill June 13 but has never formally voted it out for Senate debate. Now a further delay is in prospect because, when Congress reconvenes after the Democratic National Convention, the bill is going to have to be reworked. The committee presumably will drop the 10 per cent Social Security increase it has approved and the cost-of-living adjustment.

But the measure still contains dozens of other Social Security provisions, some of them costly. If these are retained, it will be necessary to increase still further the payroll taxes which were raised in the debt limit bill to finance 20 per cent boost. Some of the Finance Committee conservatives have indicated they believe these other provisions should be dropped, that the 20 per cent hike was enough. It was learned that the panel probably will not even be able to take up the big bill the week of July 17. Instead, it is planning to hold hearings on revenue sharing legislation that week.

However, even if the welfare reform proposals for families are dropped, several senators have said strong efforts will be made to save three other parts of the bill. They are: A revision of. the Medicare and Medicaid health programs to try to control physicians' fees and other costs. The Finance Committee has been working on this for five years. A new plan for the adult categories of welfare-the aged, blind and disabled -which will guarantee the three million recipients income of at least $130 a month or $180 if they also receive Social Security as many do.

Such drugs would be placed under Medicare for the first time. MIAMI. Fla. (AP) Lewis Soldwedel says a snake in the grass means fruit in the bowl. Soldwedel said Thursday that for years he watched squirrels and birds wax fat on the macadamia nuts and mangoes from his back yard trees.

while all he ever got was their leftovers. "Last year, I put pet repellent and aluminum pie pans in and around my trees. and it did absolutely no good, he said. "The squirrels would sit eating nuts right beside the pie which were supposed to scare them off. in Soldwedel said the only macadamias he ever got were the few that he could find by searching the trees for the places where the squirrels cached them.

This year Soldwedel bought a small rubber snake the kind loved by children and practical jokers and tied it in a macadamia tree. "'The first squirrel took one look at it. stopped suddenly and changed its mind about the nuts." he said. He then purchased several more rubber snakes and distributed them around his trees. 'I got three gallons of macadamias off my trees this year." said the happy Soldwedel.

The Dade County agricultural agent's office said Soldwedel's idea has Anniston man arrested on drug charge An Anniston man was arrested Saturday by city police on charges of illegal possession on amphetamines.
