IT GIVES us great pleasure to record in this issue the return of Brothers Elbert W. Lindbeck, of Rock Island, Illinois, and Frank Rahn of Baltimore, Maryland. They are both happy to be back in the Unity again, and we are glad to have them. Brother Elbert is a linotype operator, but understands the technique of job printing as well, and his assistance in this department of the publishing house is very much needed and will be appreciated. Brother Frank Rahn fits in wherever needed; it will be good to see him at his old place in the Koreshan Orchestra, playing the clarinet, or it may be the saxo- phone, as we understand he brought a saxophone with him. Both brothers are en rapport with the Master and his work, and have proved it by coming back. The Unity was honored with a few days' visit from Mr. Chas. Greenfield of Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Green- field, a tried and true friend of the Master, was also his attorney while the Koreshan Unity was located in Chicago; needless to say the older members here who knew him in Chicago were delighted to see him again. We have as guests at the present writing H. W. Manley of New York City, George M. Bassett of Chi- cago, Illinois, and Montclaire, N ew J ersey , and George Main, of Gloversville, New York. Mr. Bassett is an old friend of Dr. Price and Sister Adah, and is delight- ed to be here with his old friends of many years stand- ing. The people of Estero were given a decided thrill on Friday, January 7, when President S. Davies War- field of the Seaboard Air Line brought into Estero his wonderful Orange Blossom Special train with its six hundred guests. The special came in four sections, about forty Pulman cars all together, with President Warfield, Governor Martin, etc., in the first section. The special was greeted with rousing cheers by the as- sembled gathering of Esteroites, and Mr. Warfield, Governor Martin, and others soon made their appear- ance. These gentlemen spoke enthusiastically of the things that had been so far accomplished, and what the future had in store for this section of south Florida. Brother Allen Andrews delivered the address of wel- come. Each guest was presented with a copy The American Eagle, which had for its special feature a cartoon "Welcome SAL !" which portrayed two rail- roads, the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line, with the significant heading " A Rival Appears on the Scene," and the Seaboard getting all the attention .by the characters portrayed. The cartoon was drawn . by Bertha M. Boomer at the suggestion .of Brother Allen, and it made a great hit with all. There w.ere about six hundred copies of The Eagle distributed to the guests on the Orange Blossom Special, besides a liberal quantity of Koreshan leaflets. Among the spe- cial articles featured in this issue of The Eagle was one entitled "Estero Cult Claims Modern Astronomy False," by Allen H. Andrews, a reprint from the National Magazine, published by Joe Mitchell Chapple, of Boston, Massachusetts. A number of Estero people were invited to accom- pany the special to N:aples, the terminal of the Sea- board Air Line; among those from the Unity were our guest, Mr. Greenfield, with Brother Allen Andrews, Henry Silverfriend, Lou Staton, John Watson, Elbert Lindbeck, and the writer. The Seaboard has under construction a $50,000 depot at Naples and it is quite wonderful what this company has accomplished thus far in this famous resort. The guests were treated to a magnificent buffet lunch at the Naples Hotel, now owned by the Seaboard company. Two first class bands were in evidence; the Scotch Riltie that plays during the tourist season at St. Petersburg, Florida, and the other, composed of Czecho-Slovakians, brought there.by Mr. Ringling of circus fame, from Sarasota, Florida. President Warfield has brought more advertising to this section of Florida in about a year's time than it has ever had. The company has a tract of land in Estero of four hundred acres, and it is the Seaboard's intention to build a town on this site. Incidentally, the Science of Universology was brought to the atten- tion of hundreds of people who had never heard of it before; so, all in all, we in Estero have reason to feel elated at the things accomplished on the seventh of January, 1927. We have had a number of inquiries from friends wanting to know if we intend to hold our Industrial and Art Exhibit this year. We have not fully re- covered from the destruction of the September, 1926, hurricane; and inasmuch as we are behind with our repair work it was thought best not to add more to our burdens at this time, so we will not give the Exhibit this year. At the present writing our brothers are covering the dining hall and dormitory with galvanized sheet roofing. Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Boomer of N ew York City were in Estero lately on a visit to their mother and sister at Mirasol Grove, and while here gave the Unity a pleasant call. Messrs David Logan and Charles Melton, driving in their Dodge car from Colorado to Estero, are visit- ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Campbell of Estero. Mr. Logan is a brother of Mrs. Campbell. Brothers George and Charles Hunt, and Frank Wilson made a few days' visit to Collier County to survey a tract of land owned by the Unity, known as "Rattle Snake Hammock." Timber is being cut and hauled from this tract to Rice Island in said county, to be used for piling preparatory to putting a sea wall around the island.
