STATION CCE broadcasting; everybody please stand by while we give the news of the month. So many persons have been doingso many things of late, we have a great deal about which to write. As one of our holiday visitors remarked, we "have quite a social whirl here." Without some kind of whirl, we might all settle to the bottom, and then where would we be? Sister Adah Price recently visited over the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. Pulcifer at Crescent Beach, where they have taken a cottage for the season. Sisters Emma, Norton, Etta Silverfriend and Ida Fischer and Brother Claude Rahn spent an enjoyable evening as the guests of Miss Meta Monsees and Miss Genevieve Bisbing in Fort Myers. All this happened last year, but people will do things just after we have gone to press. Mrs. Marie McConnell of Tampa was a week-end —also year-end—visitor here, leaving for home on New Year's Day. On New Year's Eve, a number of friends from the Unity gathered at the Boomer home to act as a welcoming committee for 1934. Refreshments were served and many nuts were cracked. The party returned home under a brilliant moon, which was also full. Mrs. Flora Akers, Mrs. Lillian Rugg, Miss Meta Monsees, and Miss Genevieve Bisbing took dinner at the Unity on New Year's Day. Misses Lydia and Anna Pierce and Miss Hattie Englert were here in the evening, bringing individual favors of home-made candy for the members and some of the neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Carnpbell and Mrs. Edith Trebell entertained with a big party at their home on Tuesday night, January second. The party indulged in singing and made merry in a large way which included the consumption of delectable refreshments. Dr. George M. Bassett arrived on Tuesday the second from Montclair, New Jersey, to spend the winter months at the Unity, as he usually does each year. Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. Pulcifer were here on the third, visiting with friends. Mr. Henry Moreland of Fort Denaud spent the afternoon and evening here on Sunday the seventh. Mr. Robert Graham came over from Miami on the eighth, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Graham of Michigan, who are distant relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Graham have been touring Florida, and continued on to St. Petersburg after a short stop here. Robert remained overnight and returned to Miami on the bus the following morning. A party was given on the evening of the ninth by Miss Genevieve Bisbing, assisted by Miss Meta Monsees, at their home in Fort Myers, in honor of Brother Max Arendt, whose birthday anniversary it was. Contract bridge was played and prizes were awarded. The keen rivalry whetted the players' appetites so that full justice was done to the late supper served after the game. When such enjoyment, is occasioned, one might be willing to have the anniversaries, roll around more frequently—so long as they are Max's. We had the pleasure of having with us for a few days Mrs. Lovelle Ahrano, who came from Tampa on Thursday the eleventh and remained until Sunday. Brother Alien Andrews went to Miami on the twelfth, where he spent ten days, taking treatments for ear trouble. Because of the very cold weather on Sunday the fourteenth, the evening services were held in the dining room, where it was snuggy and warm around the big wood stove. We were favored with a musical selection by Brother Claude Rahn, which he played on the phonograph. Dr. Lucian C. Holtzendorff of Valdosta, Georgia, was a visitor here on the sixteenth. Dr. Holtzendorff made a visit here forty years ago, shortly after the establishment of the Unity, and when only a few buildings had been erected. He was much interested in observing what great changes and development had taken place, and was eager to renew acquaintance with the early settlers whom he knew forty years ago. Mrs. James Newcomb and daughters, Olive and Margaret, called here on the sixteenth, bringing' four fine muscovy ducks for the Unity's fowl yard. A meeting was. -held at the Campbell home on the evening of the seventeenth to discuss the advisability of holding regular singings. After trying a few selections, which stood the test well enough, it was decided to have a song festival every two weeks. Brother Claude Rahn was guest of honor at a birthday party given at Sister Cora's house the evening of the eighteenth. After a game of contract bridge, a birthday cake and other dainties were served to the guests. Mr. Harry El-win has come from New Llano, Louisiana, for a tentative stay at the Unity, and may join in membership. Mrs. Carrie Peterson and son Dale arrived on the nineteenth from Magna, Utah, to make their home at the Unity. Dale, who is fourteen years old, is a promising violinist. Mr. Peterson is at present employed as a gardener by a copper mining comp.any in Magna, but is expected to be here within the next six or eight weeks. Brother Albert Jacobs has built a new bridge near the laundry to replace the old, shaky one—probably with an eye to the coming of warm weather, when the washings will be much heavier.
