JUNE is the time for the redbirds to burst forth into song. In the coolness of the early mornings, just before the sun appears upon the horizon, delicately tinting the eastern sky, they seem to vie with one another until one feels they may rend their little throats. We are enjoying in our dining room menus fresh cabbage and tomatoes, a load of these vegetables being brought for the kitchen department by R. L. McCoy and Brother Albert J acobs. Sisters Ida Fischer and Emily Bessemer are adepts in their preparation in different ways, making those vegetables exceedingly palatable. On June 3 Brothers Allen Andrews and Laurence Bubbett and Sister Florence Graham motored to Miami. Sister Florence remained for a vacation with relatives and friends. Brother Laurence will fill the place at the linotype in her absense. Mrs. J erinie Campbell, Mrs. Eleanore ,Castle, Miss Dawn Castle, and Miss Bertie Boomer and H. D. Silverfriend attended the graduating exercises at the Edison Park High School in Fort Myers. Miss Dawn Castle, one of the graduates, is the granddaughter of Mrs. Eleanore Castle, a former Koreshan lecturer and writer. B-rothers George Hunt, Charles Hunt, Samuel Armour and Arthur Moore motored to Estero Island on June 5. They visited the point where the Unity in the early days had a sawmill and several houses, all of which is now a part of the Gulf of Mexico, the land having been washed away. Mr. Irwin Fischer of Spring Creek came to Estero June 5. His mother, Sister Ida Fischer, returned with him for a week's visit. She reports a pleasant time spent with her children and grandchildren. Miss Cecil Hamilton, Brother Lou Staton's niece, who has been principal of the Gwynn Institute in Fort Myers for fifteen years, visited him and Estero friends on June 7. The mango season is here and Brother J esse Putnam keeps the dining room supplied with the luscious fruit. There are a number of the better variety of mango trees about the printing office, and Brother Jesse sees to it that the fruit is properly distributed, which is greatly appreciated. On June 8 Dr. Charles F. Burgess of Bokeelia, Florida, and Elmer Wenthrick of Coral Gables, Florida, visited the Unity nursery, purchasing some rare plants. Mr. Henry Moreland of Fort Myers visited friends in the Unity on June 12. He brought some deJicious sample canteloupes that he raised on his farm up the Caloosahatchee River. Mr. Jim Linton of Tampa arrived on June 14 for a visit with friends at the Unity. With his parents he lived for a ti~ in Estero, when a small lad. Sister Rose Gilbert spent a week-end in Everglades with her sister, Mrs. Frank Le~is, recently. Mrs. Lewis had just returned home from a tl'r:1-ee weeks' stay at the Miami Kellogg Sanitarium. She is much improved in health. li" Brother Milton Porter made a trip to Fort Myers June 18, returning with a truckload of supplies for the various departments. Brother Arthur Moore motored to Bonita Beach June 19 and brought home a load of shell for use on the road in front of our general store, of which Brother Arthur is the efficient manager. Mrs. Cora N ewcomb and friend Inez Magill of LaBelle, Florida, were our dinner guests on June 19. Brother George Hunt was called to Fort Myers to serve as juryman for the week beginning June 20. Our large thirty-year-old Ro,yal Poinciana tree, with a spread of about seventy-five feet, more than covering the distance between the store and the post office, is filled with beautiful red blossoms. As one uses the petal-strewn paths underneath its branches, it is as thou~h one were tread~ng a luxurious scarlet carpet. On June 22 Mr. and Mrs. Fred McConnell and son Duane, Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano and Mr. Will McCready, all of Tampa, dined with us. It was a happy time for Brother William and Sister Abbie McCready to have their three children visit them. They returned home in the afternoon. Our friends Dr: and Mrs. E. L. Rasmussen of Miami, with two of their children, were callers in Estero June 22. They were en route to Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. We were pleasantly surprised when Sister Emily Bessemer's sons, Milton of New York City, Alf:on of Washington, D. C., and Louis of Greenbelt, Maryland, arrived June 22 to spend part of their vacations with friends at the Unity. Louis Bessemer is now mayor of Greenbelt, Maryland, one of the Government's housing projects. Brother Lou Staton was agreeably surprised when his niece, Mrs. Raymon Coleman, of Carbondale, Illinois, called to see him en route to her home, after a two weeks' visit with relatives at Miami Beach. " . June is a month to be remembered in Florida be~ cause of the blossomipg of the night blooming cereus. What could be a more interesting and pleasing sight than to see dozens of white, waxy, many-petaled, wonderfully beautiful blossoms on the climbing cactus-like plants, for just one night ?
