SISTER FLORENCE GRAHAM spent a long and interesting day March 2, going to Homestead and Miami with Brother Alien Andrews and Mr. and Mrs. Simpson. They visited the fair at Homestead which made a most creditable display considering the wide spread damage caused by cold weather. She visited the Parrot Jungle on Red Road, which contains about twenty acres in wild hammock jungle, and has many macaws and other birds of gorgeous coloring. On March 8 Mr. and Mrs. James Newcomb of La Belle visited us for a few hours. They are making plans to spend the summer with their daughter Mrs. Olive Chauvin, and Mr. Chauvin in Houma, Louisiana. Robert and Lloyd Graham, Mr. and Mrs,. Victor Phillips and L. W. Bubbett made us a visit on March 10. March 11 Sisters Adah Price, Florence Graham, Bella Armour and Brother Jesse Putnam motored to Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island to visit Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Pulcifer. Mr. and Mrs,. F. S. Lewis of Everglades visited friends in the Unity on March 17. -They reported in teresting sponge-fishing boats to the number of fifty that have been tied up in the river there. Four hun dred or more Greeks made considerable chattering and noticeable increase of pedestrians on the streets. On March 17 was given the formal opening pro gram of the newly established radio station WFTM at Fort Myers. Brother Alien Andrews gave an address, Pioneer Days, in Fort Myers, and Brother Lou H. Staton also contributed a short address. Again on March 24 Brother Lou gave an interesting talk; he spoke briefly on the Resurrection and Ascension of the Lord Jesus. "It is written: The wicked are cloudo without water; it is in reason then, that the righteous are clouds with water. In these Clouds of Heaven the Lord returns with power and great glory." Continu ing he gave an account of his personal interview a few years, ago with the late Thomas A. Edison, Brother Jesse Putnam went to Miami for a few days relaxation from printing office duties. We called on Sister Ella Graham a while ago and were much pleased to see her getting the loom ready to make more of her excellent rugs. Tying warp, threading loom, sorting good clean rags is not a small job for this ambitious sister. Springtime, Easter, azaleas, orange blossoms, blue jays, mocking-birds, thrushes, redbirds and a few belated robins; quail moving and feeding so silently in the weeds and grass. It all seems so welcome to us especially since our colder than usual winter. Sister Maude Brown delights in walks along the highway and byways. She spies all the varieties of birds, even to a pair of beautiful painted buntings which she describes in charming detail. Also the dainty wild flowers along the path she brings to rest in our dining room for all to enjoy. Our welcome guests on Easter day were Miss Meta Monsees, and Mrs. Lillian Rugg. They emphasized their visit with good things, to eat which graced our table. We enjoyed the gustatory treats—also our visitors. Mr. and Mrs. George Simpson of Detroit, Michi gan, who have been camping in their trailer here for a few months, left March 22 for their home after put ting their natty little boat the "Sea Witch" in summer storage at our boat house. Mrs. Simpson will stop in Tampa for a while before leaving for Detroit. Brother Theodore Naeselius and Roger Perry have always many plants to care for. This month a large number of fine varieties of azaleas were secured and have been given attention. Azaleas did not succumb to the extreme cold, instead they put forth, bloom, of increased beauty in varied hues,, a blaze of color, most breathtaking. A goodly number of tourist and winter visitors come to our gardens, each week to see the rare plants and often to purchase ornamentals. Brother Arthur Moore and Roger Perry attended the ball game in Fort Myers between, the "Indians" from Cleveland, Ohio, and the "Phillies" from Pennsylvania. Sister Bertie Boomer made us a number of visits, bringing with her sometimes other guests. She has had quite a busy winter at the Museum in Fort Myers, occupied in giving art lessons and being hostess when occasion presents. From, American Ea.gle we quote excerpts from speech Brother Alien Andrews gave at the recent open ing of the broadcasting station in Fort Myers: "On reaching the little town of Fort Myers, I realized that here at last, were the real tropics. "The business section at that time consisted of one block of wooden buildings on First Street and a. few scattering shacks and warehouses ranged along the city dock at the foot, of Jackson Street. In those primitive days practically all transportation was by steamer from Punta Gorda, then terminus of the railroad, and the one excitement of the day was to gather at the dock to see the steamer come in, note the new arrivals and speculate as to who they were and what was their busi ness in this farflung outpost of civilization. "Of course there was another means of transpor tation, this being the mail wagon which made the long trip regularly over the heavy sand trail between Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, being ferried across the Caloosahatchee River on a scow that was propelled by poles in the hands of husky natives, but few passengers patronized this route."
