ON Tuesday, January 22, Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano of Tampa arrived on the bus for several days' visit at the Unity. Dr. Frank Wilson and L. W. Bubbett motored to the East Coast January 25, where Dr. Wilson underwent a successful two-weeks treatment at the clinic of Dr. E. L. Rasmussen of Coral Gables. A pleasant visit was also had with Robert and Lloyd Graham at Miami. On the return journey, February 11, a stop wa@ made at Everglades, where a most enjoyable evening was passed with our good friends Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lewis. Mr. Harold Thomas, our English friend . who is staying with Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Campbell for the winter, and Dr. D. J. Richards motored to Tampa and other points Thursday, January 31. They visited the South Florida Fair in Tampa and returned to Estero the following Monday. The South Florida Fair, held annually in Tampa, is the biggest event of its kind in the state. The exhibits include almost everything that can be found or raised in Florida. Held during the winter, the Tampa Fair attracts people from almost every state in the Union. A birthday party in honor of their guest, Mrs. Edith Johnson, wa,s given by Mrs. A. L. Camphausen and Miss Elin Lindberg Saturday night, February 2. Miss Meta Monsees and Mr. H'enry Moreland of Fort Myers were Sunday visitors at the Unity on February 3. Monday morning, February 4, Mrs. Orline Thacher, who for the past two years had been living with Mr;s. Lillian Rugg, two miles north of Estero on the Tamiami Trail, passed to the Great Beyond at the ripe old age of 84. Mrs. Thacher was a "Southerner," from Eutaw, Alabama. She had long been a member of the Koreshan Unity, both in Chicago and Estero. During the past several years she had been in failing health, and Mr;s. Rugg generously took her into her home and personally cared for her. On the 'evening of Tuesday the 5th a birthday party was given for Brother. Jesse Putnam at the Lewis cottage. The following enjoyed an evening of "contract" and refreshments: Mrs. Edith Johnson, Sisters Ros'e Gilbert, Cora Stephens, Florence Graham, Vesta Newcomb and Bella Armour and Brothers Claude Rahn and Jesse Putnam and Mr. Wilmot Cleeves. Brother Franklin Jacke accompanied Leroy Lamoreaux of Estero Island on one of his regular trips to Tampa Wednesday the 6th.
Mrs. C. Cooper, a niece of the late Brother James Price, Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Bella Dabler of Dekalb, Illinois, arrived at the Unity Saturday the 9th to visit Sister Adah Price. They remained until the 12th. On Sunday the 10th Mrs. Ruth Thomas of Philadelphia, who with her son Brooks is visiting her mother and sister at Mirasol Grove, was hostess at a picnic given at Bonita Beach for a number of old friends at the Unity. Broiled chicken, cooked over a beach fire, was the piece de resistance; but from all accounts, it didn't resist very much! There's nothing like the salty breezes at the beach to whet the appetite! The party included Mrs. Ruth Thomas and son Brooks, Bertha M. Boomer, Mrs. Edith Johnson, Sisters Cora Stephens, Florence Graham, Vesta Newcomb and B'ella Armour and Brothers Claude Rahn, Alfred Christensen, Lou Staton and Jesse Putnam. Wednesday the 13th a nephew of Brother Alfred Christensen, from Ashtabula, Ohio, stopped in to visit him on the way home from Miami. He was accompanied by three companions. Brother Alfred showed the boys such a good time, fishing and boating, they stayed until the following Saturday. On the evening of the 13th the Tea Garden ladies had as guests at the Rustic Tea Garden Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, and a number of friends. On Saturday the 16th Mrs. I. Boulware and Sister Florence Graham motored to Miami, Mrs. Boulware to visit her daughter, who is a resident of that city. They returned late Sunday night. At last the heavens opened and gave plentifully of refreshing waters! On the 17th occurred the first heavy rain in many months, and how badly Old Mother Earth needed a drink! The writer does not recall such a protracted "dry spell" in many years. Miss Meta Monsees of Fort Myers was a visitor for the day Sunday the 17th. A. H. Andrews motored to Sebring with Stanley Hanson of Fort Myers on Monday the 18th to attend a meeting of the Highlands Hammock Association, to which A. H. Andrews was elected. He returned Monday night. On Monday the 18th Mr. Wilmot Cleeves left for his home in Brockton, Massachusetts. Mr. Cle'eves, a long-time reader of The Sw'or'd, has been a visitor at the Unity for the past .several months; we hope he enjoyed his stay with us as one among friends. Mr. Ernest F. Coe of Miami was an early morning caller at the Unity Tuesday the 19th. Mr. Coe is Executive Chairman of the Everglades National Park Association. He says the proposed park, which will include the greater part of the Everglades region and the very tip-'end of Florida, is taking shape, proceedings to clear titles are under way, and within the not far distant future South Florida will have a National Park to attract real Nature lovers. On the 19th Genevieve Bisbing of Fort Myers spent the day at the Unity. Friday the 22nd A. H. Andrews motored to Miami. He returned the 25th. On Saturday the 23rd our good friend A. L. McDonald of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, arrived for a visit at the Unity. "Mac" has visited us numerous times in the past, though it has been several years since he last .spent a winter here. Needless to say, we were glad to greet him. He is only 82 years young and seems to be going stronger with time's passing. An old friend of the Master's, he has staunchly upheld Koreshanity through the years. Sunday the 24th Dr. E. L. Rasmussen, Mrs. Rasmussen and their four children and Miss Martha Sykes stopped in to see us on their way from Coral Gables to Fort Myers. Dr. Rasmuss'en recently acquired a well-furnished house-car trailer, which enables him to travel comfortably about with hi.s entire family. These ingenious affairs have almost all the comforts of home, affording kitchen, dining room, sitting room and bed room facilities in turn, and also the pleasure of radio entertainment. So nowadays one may be at home traveling! Mrs. Ruth Thomas, with her young son Brooks, left Estero Monday the 25th for Miami, where she will visit a few days with friends before leaving for her home in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Mrs. Thomas spent a pleasant six weeks with her mother and sister, Mrs. B. S. Boomer and Miss Bertie Boomer, at Mirasol Grove. A number of delightful social affairs were enjoyed by many during her stay. To a certain extent Estero has become "air conscious." On the roof of the Koreshan Unity store building the Airport Marking Division of the State Road Department recently painted informing signs and directions in large gold letters on a black background so "he who flies may read." There has been some talk of the Government making an emergency landing field at Estero, but so far it hasn't developed.
