BROTHER ALLEN ANDREWS left early on the morning of August 7 to spend the week-end at Miami. He returned Monday the 10th. All rested up and "rarin' to go."
Sister Emily Bessemer went to Miami on the bus Saturday the 8th for an extended visit with her son Alton and his family.
Mrs. Cora Newcomb, who has been spending a week with us, returned to her home at LaBelle on August the 8th.
Mrs. Julia, Home of Tice, Florida, dropped in for a visit with old friends, at the Unity recently.
Not wishing' to seem to be dwelling too much on the subject of weather, we shall merely say in the words of one of our radio stars: "It's terrific! It's stupendous! It's colossal."
Saturday, August 8, was just another one of those hot summer days to' most of the folks in the immediate neighborhood, but to those of us who know and love "Baby" it was a very sorrowful day indeed, for be it known that "Baby," the little bob-tailed store cat, had disappeared. When last. seen early Saturday morning she was snooping- around the bread truck while the driver was. making his delivery to the store. Being of an investigative nature and also having a sea-faring instinct (her mother having come ashore from a ship-wreck off the New Jersey coast), small wonder if the spirit of adventure was beginning to burn in her little breast. And so, while no one w:as looking, she shipped aboard the first out-going' truck that took her fancy. Where she stowed herself no one knows, for upon in-quiry of the "breadman," he had not seen her. But he being" a humane sort of young man, remembered our loss and on the following Monday after her disappear-ance, in he comes with "Baby," not bread, in his. arms. What a rejoicing on our part; but she took it all in. her stride, not seeming to realize that she had had her first "great adventure." She was located at Mullin's Mill, first stop to the south of her home, where', appar-ently, not relishing' the rough going, she disembarked, and of course found friends who took care of her, and who, very reluctantly, sent her back to us. And now she seems content to snoop around the store and per-form her duty of keeping the mice on the move. We all are hoping she will not again feel the urge to ven-ture forth into the great unknown.
On Sunday the 16th we were pleased to have with us for dinner Mr. and Mrs, Victor Phillips and Robert and Lloyd Graham of Miami.
Brother Jesse Putnam seems to g-et better crops from his fruit trees than. we do from those scattered about the grounds. For several weeks he supplied us with delicious Cecil mangoes, and now that they are gone, the avocados are coming into season. Here,
again, Brother Jesse shines, having brought in the first of these. Well we are grateful for any fruits or vege- tables that come our way and shall not question the manner of their coming'.
On the 18th Brother Henry Silverfriend went to Orlando for medical attention.
We are sorry to report the departure of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Harris for Miami, where they expect to make their home in the future. Their many friends will miss them at the cold drink stand and filling sta- tion which they have operated at the north end of the bridge for many years. Miss Bella Home and her brother Alex have taken over this stand. We wish for them all success in the venture.
Once more science has come to our rescue. In the Ford laboratory, we are told, they have blown the: lowly little soy bean to bits and are weaving cloth from its atoms. Now when we tire of our shirt, gown, or what have you, we can simply add 'some salt and pepper, an onion or two, and any other left-overs, you might have in the refrigerator, and presto! you have a delectable chop suey. If someone would only give us a goat that would thrive on waste paper, we would be sitting pret-ty for the "duration."
On Sunday the 23d Mr. and Mrs, F. S. Lewis of Everglades; Mrs. Lillian "Rugg and Mr. Rowland of Estero, and Miss Meta Monsees of Fort Myers, took dinner with us.
Sister Rose Gilbert went to Everglades on the 23d for a vi'sit with her sister.
Brother Alien Andrews and Arthur Moore left on Monday the 24th on a business trip to Tampa.
One day recently we strolled out to look over the result of Brother Laurie Bubbett's endeavors in the agricultural field and were pleased to find quite a, good-sized patch of sweet potatoes, long" rows of okra and a patch of what looked like cow peas. Not being' an expert, however, cannot be sure of the peas until I have the privilege of sampling them at the table. It's pretty hot weather to be working in the fields, but Brother Laurie seems to thrive by so' doing. We only hope the vegetables will do as well.
Speaking" of price ceilings on commodities, one is moved to wonder just what kind of ceilings these are. Every time one goes shopping the ceilings have changed their position. I've heard of the sky being the limit to most things that are going up, but in the in-istance of price ceilings it seems that even the sky can't stop them.
