THE ELECTION in Florida was rather unexciting", the pressing issues having been decided in the June primaries. Principal interest centered around the national contest. General satisfaction is felt with the result in this section. However, because of the dry sentiment in Florida, the democratic victory in the state was not so great proportionately as it was in non-democratic states. The voting in Lee County and Estero was light, due, no doubt, to the certainty of democratic success, also the poll tax which kept many from voting. The newly elected Governor of Florida, David Sholtz, promised to abolish the poll tax. After a visit of several weeks with friends in Fort Myers and at the Unity, Mrs. Alex McKay returned to her home at Lakeland. Brother Alien Andrews, accompanied by Brother Theodore Naes'elius, drove to Lakeland to take Mrs. McKay to her home. We were pleased, to have her with us for the celebration of the Solar Festival. Brother Charles Hunt continues to improve in health and we expect him to be up and around soon to enjoy the out-of-doors. A number of us attended a talk by Opie Read, famous author and lecturer of Chicago and Howey-inthe-Hills, Florida. While his talk was in favor of the candidacy of W. J. Howey for Governor, it was more a series of droll, highly amusing stories than a political plea. A feature of his talk was the fine personal tribute which he paid to the unparalleled tropical beauty of this section of Florida,—in all his travels he had never seen anything to equal it. Naturally, we agree with him. It is not often that we, are bothered by thieves, but recently several of them broke one of the plate glass windows of'the store building and stole a small quantity of goods and cash. Brother David Richards, whose quarters .are above the store, was awakened by the prowlers and by means of a-ruse scared the burglars away; they escaped in a truck and because of the lateness of the hour, pursuit by the authorities was not possible. Brother Alien Andrews, accompanied by Sister Florence Graham and Lynn Russell, drove to Miami and Hollywood to attend the Florida State Press Association convention at Hollywood, Florida. The party returned by way of West Palm Beach and Clewiston. Friends who recently visited us here were: Miss Lydia Pierce, Mrs. Jeannie Miller, Miss Clara Angell, the Bisbing family, all of Fort Myers; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lewis of Everglades; Mr. and Mrs. Russell Kay of Tampa; Mr. Harold Thomas of Sussex, England; Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Rasmussen and Miss Martha Sikes of Coral Gables; Henry and Floyd Moreland of Alva, and Harold Moreland of Fort Myers.
The light plant has been out of commission for n several weeks pending the arrival of parts to replace those that were broken. The plant is in operation again. Mrs. A. L. Camphausen and Miss Elin Lindbergh have returned from a trip of several months in the North. Mrs. Edith M. Johnston of Minneapolis, Minnesota, returned with the Tea Garden ladies and will remain in Estero for an indefinite stay. Mrs. B. S. Boomer (Sister Berthaldine) celebrated her eighty-second birthday on November 12, the good wishes of her fellowmembers and many friends being abundant and assured. Sister Berthaldine is one of the pioneers in the Koreshan Cause, and its followers can only feel greatly indebted to her for her service to the movement and wish her well. The Sunday evening services which were resumed with the celebration of the Solar Festival were suspended during the period that the light plant was being overhauled. They will be resumed again now that the plant is in operation. Our readers will be interested to learn that the Rosicrucian Brotherhood (Amorc) at San Jose, California, is extensively advertising a course of lessons in "Arcane Cosmology" which treat on the inside theory of the universe. Some months ago, in answer to a request, permission was granted this organization to promulgate the cellular theory on condition that proper credit be given to KORESH for all Koreshan ideas and material used. In its statements and advertising matter the Rosicrucian Brotherhood mentions that its findings are based on the research work of KORESPI and others. We are informed that the course contains much material developed independently of Koreshan sources, for which we cannot vouch. We feel, however, that any effort along the lines of challenging the Copernican system of astronomy is a step in the right direction and can do no harm. Koreshan Universology, in which is embraced the Cellular Cosmogony, is a complete whole. Reasoning from the fixed point of the earth's concavity every truth of universal being can be deduced, as KORESH has demonstrated in his writings. The Cellular Cosmogony leads to definite conclusions about all departments of life; these definite truths are part of the whole and must be considered as seriously as the contour of the earth's surface. Concavity is a universal fact and is destined soon to be universally accepted. "Koreshanity is the truth of all things involved in one great system of scientific conception and application to all the affairs of the human • race," stated KORESH. The Unity nursery recently sold three fine crotons to Mrs. A. W. Iglehardt of Fort Myers. The Unity display of crotons is one of the largest and best on the West Coast.
