Britain's Hippies Claim Not Society Drop Outs
London's Flower People insist they stay in society to change it. Simon Bailey, a California student, says Flower Power is power with lightness and joy. In Chelsea they wear caftans and beads, sell bells, and imitate San Francisco hippie culture. The movement has under 300 core members, with several thousand weekend adherents. They gather at King's Road Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, plus Electric Garden Club and UFO Club venues for films, lights, and acid rock.
