COMMUNITY CURRENT EVENTS
December 1942
---------------------------------
ON OCTOBER 27 Sisters Jennie Campbell and Edith Trebell were hostesses at a supper party given in honor of Mrs. Hilda Lamb, who is spending some time with the Unity. Others present were Sisters Charlotte Montenegro, Marie Fischer and Brother Arthur Moore. As is always, the case at the Ca.mpbe'lls, the refreshments, were delicious, and the evening was spent in pleasant conversation and reminiscing.
Miss Meta Monsees of Fort Myers visited with us over the weekend, returning to her home on Nov. 2.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Simpson arrived on Nov. 4 from, Detroit, Michigan, with their trailer and are stopping in the Unity's Trailer Park. The Simpacns are o'ld friends, this being their sixth winter in Estero.
Lester Wintersgill returned o,n the 7th from St. Petersburg and Gulfport, where he visited with relatives and friends for two weeks.
Brother Charles H. Faulkner, for many years a member of the Koreshan Unity, passed away peacefully Sunday, the 8th. He was in his, 79th year, and old age simply took its toll. He is survived by a wife, in Chicago, and three children, in California.
A party from the Koreshan Unity consisting of Sisters. Hilda Lamb, Charlotte Montenegro, Brothers Charles Hunt and Arthur Moore enjoyed a picnic outing at Fort Myers Beach Armistice Day, November 11.
Brother Alien Andrews returned on the 15th from Orlando, where he spent about ten days undergoing medical treatment.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Graham, Mrs. Victor Phillips and Robert Graham arrived on the 14th, from Miami, to visit relatives and friends at the Unity. They returned home the following day.
Miss Elizabeth Teed and her mother, Mrs. K. C. Teed, of East Orange, N. J., arrived Wednesday the 18th to visit Sister Emma Norton, who is a distant relative. They left the following day for Clearwater, where they are spending the winter.
While on a walk in the piney woods some weeks ago the writer in company with several companions, who also are woods-minded, gathered a quantity of beautiful, but when arranged in a bouquet they became wild flowers and grasses. Even separately, they were a perfect symphony of color. It still graces my room, and I have watched with much pleasure the transition of colors—from gold to bronze,, green to silver, and lavender to the palest of mauve. There was one growth bled a wild rose done in wax, very odd and beautiful, —a fungus—which I handled with caution. It resembled a wild rose done in wax, very odd and beautiful, but it lasted only a few days—then withered. The rest, however, are still beautiful after many weeks.
Samuel Armour, who has been operating the Standard Oil Station for the Unity for the past five years, has accepted a like position with a, Shell Gas Station in Fort Myers,. He left on Wednesday the 18th. We shall miss Samuel, both at the filling station and the post office, where he has been acting as relief clerk for some time.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred McConnell and son Duane and Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano of Tampa came on Thursday the 19th to visit their parents, returning to Tampa the same day.
The following is quoted from a circular received from the Postal Department: "The bulk of Christmas mail must be in the post offices by December 1 this year if deliveries on time are to be assured. ... It is physically impossible for the railroads and air lines, burdened with vitally important war materials, to handle Christmas mailings as rapidly as, in normal times." So get your packages mailed early, and if they do not reach their destination in time for Christmas they probably will by New Year's Day.
Sister Adah Price returned on the 24th from an extended vacation, spent with friends and relatives, ill the midwest.
One day recently my attention was directed skyward to watch a formation of army planes doing stunts. This, in itself, is not unusual, since these planes seemingly use some of our larger buildings as targets, for their practice maneuvers, but what was unusual was the fact of turkey buzzards bringing up the rear. They whirled and swooped; rose and circled with more grace and precision than the planes and certainly without any attendant noise whatever. The fowls of the air surely have the advantage over mankind in the celestial sphere, since all these aerial stunts are instinctive with them,—their natural heritage. They probably wonder just what we foolish humans are trying to do and why all the noise and confusion.
Thursday, November 26, 1942—the day set aside on which to give thanks for all our blessings! I wonder are we truly grateful for the special blessings which seem to be ours more than any other nation in the world of today. And we, who are fortunate enough to be living away down here almost at the jumping off place, should be more than grateful to be out of the turmoil and confusion of the "defense work" centers.
Of course, we tune in on the war news and read the papers, but about the only physical reminder we have that a war is in progress is the droning of planes overhead, which sometimes swoop so low that we find ourselves scurrying for cover.
Our guests for Thanksgiving dinner were Mr. and Mrs. George W. Simpson, Mrs. Lillian Rugg and Miss Evelyn Luettich of Estero.
