ON THE EVENING of Sunday, May 31, the Unity was treated to ice cream by Mr. and Mrs. Alton Bessemer. On this evening" we had as guests Mr. Henry Moreland, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Moreland and daughter Sarah of Fort Myers, Mrs. Jennie Campbell, Mrs. Edith Trebell, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Bessemer and son and daughter of Estero. After enjoying the ice cream we all repaired to the Art Hall where we were again treated,this, time to a musical feast the like of which we have not heard in quite some time. Mr. Harold Moreland had very thoughtfully remembered to bring his, violin, knowing how much pleasure it would give us to once more hear the beautiful and soothing strains of music that issue from the violin under his sensitive and masterful wielding of the bow. Needless to say we sat entranced for more than an hour, when Sister Etta suddenly realized it was long past the usual time for the Sunday evening service, so the music was interrupted long enough for the reading of an article
from the writings of KORESH and the singing of several hymns, after which the music was, again resumed, and was continued for quite some time, even though the lights had gone out, the musicians playing entirely from memory. Mr. Moreland was very ably and beautifully accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Alton Bessemer, who played as though inspired by her appreciative audience.
Sunday, May 31, we had for dinner guest Mrs.
Lillian Rugg.
Mr. and Mrs. Alton Bessemer and son and daughter, who spent the p'ast winter in Estero, left on June 4, for their home in Washington, D. C., going via the East Coast.
Sister Adah Price left June 10 to visit with friends in the Ozark region of Missouri and from there will go to DesMoines,, Iowa, for a visit with relatives.
Sisters Etta Silverfriend and Ella Graham left on Friday the 12th for Savannah, Mo., where they will undergo treatment at the. Dr. Nichols' Sanitarium. They expect to' be gone several weeks.
Mrs. Virginia Pope and Mrs. Barwick of Fort Myers were; dinner guests on Sunday the 14th. Sisters Florence Graham and Vesta Newcomb, Walter Bentz and Brother Henry Silverfriend accompanied them back to Fort Myers.
Sisters, Emily Bessemer and Hedwig Michel, Roger Perry and Brother Alien Andrews motored to Fort Myers Beach Sunday the 14th, where they picked up Brother Lou Staton, who had spent the week-end at the Beach.
Word was received in Estero from, the Tampa Municipal Hospital of the death there on June 16 of Brother George W. Hunt, an old time Estero resident and member of the Unity who had been there for several weeks for surgical treatment. Brother George was, a valued member of the community and will be greatly missed. For many years he acted as business agent of the Unity and operated our local boat line in the days, when practically all travel was by water. He had a wide acquaintance among the old-time business men of Fort Myers and had an enviable reputation for fair dealing and honesty. He served as president of the Board of Directors of the Unity for some years. Brother George was born in Iowa on Dec. 31, 1864.
As a young man he moved with his parents to Oregon, from whence he came to Chicago to join the Unity in 1893, having remained with the organization ever since. The remains were buried in the local cemetery at Estero.
Brother Arthur Moore went to Tampa on the bus,
Tuesday, June 16, where he was summoned by the
death of Brother George Hunt.
Walter Bentz and Brother Alien Andrews, made a business trip to Lakeland and Tampa on the 17th,
Brother Arthur Moore returning with them that evening.
Sister Rose Gilbert returned from a short visit with her sister at Everglades, Wednesday the 17th.
If—some day or night—you should happen to' notice various and sundry of our residents out on the bridge gazing aloft, don't jump to the conclusion that they are either Sun or Moon worshipers. They are simply part of the' vast army of defense doing duty behind the lines, spotting and reporting all planes, that come within either seeing or hearing distance. The job
is being done by volunteer service, 2-hour shifts— someone on duty every hour of the day and night; and while it is not clear to us, what the purpose of this service is, we know it is considered by our government to be necessary, so hats off to those who. bravely endure the heat of the sun by day and the sting of mosquitoes by night, and a special salute to the young girls and women of our community who are doing their share of this service. Mr. J. R. Harris is in charge of this branch of the service and both he and Mrs. Harris have devoted much of their time to it. R. K. Trebell has been assisting them recently in the matter of securing recruits, etc.
The night-blooming sereus on the Unity grounds has been attracting its share of attention the past week. This is the height of its blooming season, and to view it at its best one must wait until nightfall or very early morning before sunrise, as the first rays, of the sun cause it to close, it being strictly a night-bloomer. Its beauty and fairy-like structure are beyond my power of description, not being a botanist suffice it to say they are bell shaped as, large as a plate at its largest end and a very delicate shade of yellow in color.
