A LARGE TRUCK and three other cars containing about fifty Seminole Indians, men, women and children, stopped at our store en route from St. Petersburg" to Everglades. They were clad in their customary colorful and billowy attire: Cory Osceola and Josie Billy, Indian Medicine men, had charge of the party.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Percy Jones with their son and daughter from Fort Myers. were visitors at the Unity on March 31.
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Wintersgill of Gulfport, Florida, visited the Unity April 2 and 3. They resided in Estero for a, time many years ago.
A political rally was held at Bonita Springs on April 6. It was attended by Brothers Alien Andrews, Lou H. Staton, Henry Silverfriend, John T. Watson and Charles Faulkner. The fish. fry accompanied by plenty of other good food was a big factor in the success of the day.
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Fischer and children, of Spring Creek, and Miss Wanda Johnson visited April 7 with Mrs. Ida Fischer.
Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Pulcifer from Fort Myers Beach made friends here a very brief call on April 17.
Brothers, Arthur Moore and George Hunt spent a pleasant afternoon on April 17 with Mr. Harold Thomas at Bonita Springs, and had dinner there. On April 18, Brother Arthur joined Mr. Thomas at Bonita Springs when they journeyed by bus to Miami; Mr. Thomas to embark for Nassau and Arthur to return late in the night to Estero.
On April 20 Mrs. Marie McConnell and sister Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano of Tampa arrived by bus to spend Sunday with parents and their many Unity friends,. It was pleasant also on this day to have Sisters Bertie Boomer and Lillian Rugg as guests for dinner.
Brother Lou H. Staton went to Fort Myers on April 20 to give a broadcast over the local radio station from an article by Mrs. Marian McAdow as published in The American. Eagle.
April 21 Sister Bertie took several of the sisters to Bonita Beach where it was a glorious sight to see the mighty breakers roll in. The, wind was so strong the water was foaming and roily and noisy.
Early on the morning" of April 22 we were awakened by an unusual commotion on the roof. Upon investigation it proved to be a young" eagle calmly surveying his new position with his piercing" black eyes. He appeared to be resting and for about three hours he remained to our delight; then off he flew to—who knows where?
Brother Theodore Naeselius delivered a truck load of plants to Mrs. Iglehart in Fort Myers, April 24.
Brother Alien Andrews spent April 23 and 24 in Coral Gables attending an organization meeting of the South Florida Historical Society of which he has been named a director.
Why does Sister Charlotte appear to wear shiny black gloves so often lately? Because she gathers the big luscious mulberries and helps prepare them for all in the dining room to partake thereof: "and come upon them over against the mulberry trees and let it be, when thou nearest the sound of a going in the tops. of the mulberry trees, that thou shall bestir thyself. . . ." (II Samuel 5:23 and 24.)
0. F. Mclntyre of Miami was here recently with a friend sketching and painting local scenes. Mr. Mclntyre is an artist with the Mwm Daily News, being in charge of the rotogravure illustrated supplement.
On some of the delightful cool mornings of late Sisters Maude and Vesta have wandered far afield, returning with lovely bouquets of the dainty polygala new to me but identified by Mrs. Brown; Florida buttercup, calliopsis, wild petunias line the banks of the canal in lovely profusion.
The magnolia, trees are putting on the magnificent fragrant white blossoms which contrast strongly with the dark glossy green leaves.
We are pleased to note that the litchi trees in the grove of Mrs. Edith Trebell survived the freeze, showing practically no sign of damage, are in vigorous, condition and blooming heavily.
Henry Moreland of Fort Myers, visited us several days last month.
Recently Brother Alien Andrews, while in Miami, called on Mr. A. C. Splinter, horticulturist in charge of FourWay Lodge in Coconut Grove. Mr. Splinter is an old friend of the late Dr. Henry Nehrling, and is an expert in flower growing and hybridizing. A dazzling display of Gloxinias was seen of many colors, shades, and markings: "Few flowers can surpass the large tubular blooms of Gloxinias for richness and variety of coloring'. The colors range through all the shades of blues and purples, pinks and crimsons, while some are pure white, and others again white with tinted edges; still others have the colors dotted on the lighter groundcolor. The foliage of Gloxinias is also very beautiful, being of a rich velvety texture. Gloxinias make a gorgeous display, therefore, when in flower and are especially valuable for the decoration of conservatories during the summer and early fall months."
Brother Henry Silverfriend spent two weeksi in Orlando. We hope he returns much improved in health.
Work on the Tamiami Trail between Estero and Fort, Myers progresses slowly with no apparent improvement, but some day soon we hope to be surprised at its completion.
