FORMULA FOR FUN
By Bryan Putman
TILLIAM Edmund Butlin, Britain's holiday
king, has a formula for fun.
For an average cost of approximately
£1 per day per person, Butlin expects to entertain 600,000 paying guests at four vacation.contres this season, providing accommodation, meals and ontertainment.
The all-inclusive charges at his five camps-- Skegness, Lincolnshire; Filey. Day, Yorkshire: Pwllhell, North Wales; Ayr, Scotland;', and, Clacton-on-Sea, Essox-are based on the theory that a vacation should not exceed a man's pay for an equal period. The Butlin -holiday camps were designed for workers' families, secretaries. and clerks.
The five enmps can handle 21,000 vacationists. a week, the usual period spent at a Butlin estab Jishment. The guests stay in cabins, eat in mammoth mess halls and face a barrage of enter-. tainment throughout the day and far into the Tilght.
"In addition to such planned entertainment as dances, bathing beauty contests and opera troupes. Butlin also provides facilities for swim- ming, goliing, table tennis, billiards and a host of other games..
THE 47-year-old Butlin was born in England,
but moved as a boy to South Africa and later to Canada. At 15, he enlisted in the Canadian Army as a drummer boy, and at, 16 was fighting in France in the first World War.
After his demobilisation in Canada, Butlin returned to England with a capital of £5. His first business venture involved the purchase of a carnival game in which the public tossed rings over pegs for candy prizes.

This is natural, but it may also be foolish.

The first commander of the Royal Armoured Corps, Gen. Martel headed the Military Mission to Moscow in 1943.
Applying his principle of "a quick return and a small profit," he soon had enough funds to He buy an amusement park. added others to his string, and now has 15 permanent amuse- ment parks in Britain.

If there is to be a major war during the next five years it will no doubt be fought in much the same way as the last war. But what like- lihood is there of such an event?
Without making any suggestions of aggressive intentions, it is clear that Russin is the only country that could cause a major war during this period.
Why therefore, are we keeping all the very expensive and heavy equip. ment of the Inst war, such as big guns and heavy tanks, when it seems quite clear that they will be out of date before there will be any occa- sion to use them?
Everyone is agreed that we must research carry out the necessary work to be ahead of, or at least on n level with, any other Power in the development of future warfare..
