WE VISITED the attractive shop in Estero owned and operated by Mrs. Edith Trebell and Roy L'Amoreaux recently. Besides a fine stock of home grown fresh fruits they have an enticingdisplay of many kinds of marmalades, jellies, conserves and delicious fruit candies, which they pack and ship for customers. Dinner guests last month were our always welcome friends Miss Bertie Boomer, Miss Meta Monsees of Fort Myers, Sister Lillian Rugg of Estero, Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Lewis of Everglades. The Koreshan Unity Nurseries have just shipped some 1300 feet of selected bamboo canes to a Miami customer. Bamboo grows much larger and more thrifty in this section than on the lower East Coast. A much needed fire-break has been plowed on the south side of the Unity's grounds, which will relieve fear from fire on that side. Fire hazard is a constant menace during the dry winter period. Mrs. Eaton, her daughter, Miss Naomi Eaton, and nephew, Wayne Eaton, of Wisconsin were visiting friends at the Unity the latter part of November. They are relatives of our late Brother Franklin Jacke. The early and unexpected cold snap in November did considerable damage to tender vegetation here. Theodore Naeselius, manager of the Koreshan Unity plant nurseries, is busy with several helpers extending water pipe lines and preparing additional shelter for tender plants through the winter months. Sister Ida Fischer has recovered from her painful burns received in the fire of November 5 and cheerfully resumed her loving service to our family. She spent a pleasant day recently with her son Irwin and family at Spring Creek. Brother Alien Andrews spent ten days in Coral Gables and Miami last month as guest of Dr. E. L. Rasmussen and Robert Graham. Laurie Bubbett came, December 2, on bus. from Miami to assist in getting out The Eagle in Brother Alien's absence. Miss Cecil Hamilton and friends with friends from Fort Myers visited in Estero, December 4. In the afternoon Brother Lou H. Staton accompanied them on a trip to beautiful Bonita Beach. A Mrs. Walsh of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, stopped in Estero, December 4th, and renewed old friendships made some twenty-seven years ago during a stay here, at which time, she said, she spent some of the happiest moments of her life. She had a son, who then was only five years of age, remarkable for the fact that he could speak several foreign languages. Brother Alfred Christensen, who operates the Estero electric light plant, suffered a painful, but fortunately not serious, accident to his right hand December 5. The blades of a rapidly revolving motor fan cut deeply into two fingers. Sister Emma Norton rendered efficient first aid treatment; but Brother Alfred will be on the casualty list for several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Phillips and Robert L. Graham of Miami visited friends, and relatives at the Unity, being Sunday dinner guests. December 15 Mr. L. W. Bubbett, who spent the past two weeks in Estero, returned with them to Miami. The Bonita Beach development goes on apace. Its originator, Mr. Engvalson, of Chicago expected to have his house completed by December 15th. He has a force of carpenters from Wonder Lake, 111., on the job, and will start several more houses immediately. It really looks as though Bonita Beach is on the boom. The entire 3-mile beach front has been platted into lots 50 x 200 feet in dimensions. A 50-foot right of way for a public road has been cleared and shelled some distance up the island. Plans are now underway with one of the major oil companies for a filling station to occupy a strategic site at junction of the county road with the road now building up the island. Mr. and Mrs. George Simpson of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, arrived with their trailer, Wednesday evening December 18, to spend their fifth winter in Estero, much to the pleasure of their many friends. Following a brief few days of warm weather, another cold spell is now on, but so far, no immediate prospects of frost damage. Sister Adah Price spent an enjoyable week-end at Fort Myers Beach with her frienda Mr. and Mrs. Louis Pulcifer who have recently arrived from Warwick, Massachusetts, to spend the winter at their cottage on the Gulf. We are all glad to welcome Mrs. Marian Watkins of Des Moines, Iowa, who arrived December 18, to spend a few weeks with her sister Adah J. Price. Mrs. Watkins was with us in winter of 1936 and 1937. On December 24 we were pleasantly surprised with a visit from Mrs. Cora Newcomb from LaBelle and her daughter, Mrs. David Burchard and child from Stuart, Florida. They were accompanied by Mrs. Newcomb's sister Mrs. Kate Nemeth and her brother Mr. Louis Hawk from Muscatine, Iowa. Here in Lee County you can "see snakes" any time without imbibing in a surplus amount of intoxicants. All you have to do is to visit Bill Piper's Snake Farm at Bonita Springs where you can see them by the dozens,—big ones, little ones, light ones and black ones, poisonous and non-poisonous,—and Bill handles 'em all with seeming utmost indifference, which shows that he knows his snakes all right.
