-----------------------------------------------------
WELL, here we are from under the blanket at last and the change is so sudden we hardly know what not to wear or vice versa. However since we told you in our last issue that spring was just around that elusive corner we are glad to make good our promise and since the winter was not so good for those of you who came for the sunshine and bathing—we extend a cordial invitation to come and spend the "Spring" with us,—we know it will be just right.
Why go all the way to Spain, Portugal or other foreign countries, or even to our own California for cork? Brother Alien Andrews tells us, in The Ameri can E(Lgle, we have it right here in our own backyard in the form of Melaleuca leucadendron—or, to put it more mildly, the lowly Cajeput tree, which asks only for a chance to seed itself in our wet lands and in no time at all the wilderness will be blooming not like roses. but like a "honey factory," as bees are very fond of the bloom and it makes a very fine product. The bark furnishes the co'rk. So there you are—cork and honey. What more could you ask from any one tree? U. S. Government take notice.
The Surinam cherry trees have finally decided to burst right out in full bloom since Old Sol has asserted himself, so now the bees have another source of supply, judging from the humming one hears while passing these trees, and if a sugar shortage should occur, we have the promise of a bountiful yield of a very good substitute.
The orange trees are also beginning to make themselves "smelt," a little late, perhaps, but on the job to do their bit, not only towards production of honey, but to help supply those necessary vitamins we read so much about and without which the human race would be sadly put to it to go on "racing," where to, we haven't the slightest idea, but we're on the way, so "California here comes Florida."
Estero residents were entertained .at the Koreshan Unity dining hall on the evening of the 6th by Mr. George Simpson, who exhibited moving pictures that he had taken in his travels through Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota; also local scenes .at Everglades, Mound Key and neighboring islands, and Estero River. Rare plants in the Unity grounds were also shown in colors. About 100 people were present.
Early on Sunday the 15th, Brothers George Hunt and Arthur Moore took the truck and headed for Lakeland, Fla., arriving there about 8 o'clock, and after visiting with our friend, Mrs.. Hilda, Lamb, over Sunday, they combined busine&s with pleasure and came back on Monday with a boiler, which is now being installed in the laundry, where it will be much appreciated.
Dr. .and Mrs. Wallace Reed Teed of Ann Arbor,
Mich., and Mrs. Teed's mother, Mrs. E. S. Nagle, who has been wintering in Orlando, Fla., were callers1 at, the Unity on Monday the 16th. Dr. Teed is. a distant rela tive of the late Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, founder of The Koreshan Unity.
Brother Theodore Naeseiius and Roger Perry are busily engaged grubbing out the bermuda grass in a plat just east of what was formerly the chicken yard, and are setting out several varieties of berries. Per haps by next year—with luck—we shall be able to go "aberrying" and—who knows?—perhaps have a berry festival and shortcake. In the meantime we believe Brother Theodore1 plans to try growing a few vegetables between the rows of berry plants, thus utilizing the cleared ground and perhaps cheating the H. C. of L.
Speaking of vegetables, Brother Laurie Bubbett is not to be "sneezed at," either, for he has already got a garden under way in the trailer park grounds. Had it not been for the long continued cold weather, we would probably right now be enjoying the fruits of his labors. We surely hope the weather man will not rush the hot season upon us too quickly, so that he may have the pleasure of supplying us with some real homegrown produce.
One day recently we noticed a humming to the south of us and droning to the west of us and so, being a little apprehensive and not knowing just what the Japs might be up to next, we very cautiously investigated and. much to our relief found .not Japs slinking through the weeds and bushes, but two workmen with machete and hatchet engaged in clearing the grounds immediately surrounding the barn and other adjoining fields,—also a tractor plowing up the turf to give us fire protection from that direction. So, having allayed our fears, and satisfied our curiosity, we returned home with the feeling that "all was well." This work is being done under Brother Allen Andrews' direction.
On the evening of Saturday the 21st, Sister Emily Bessemer invited a number of us to a picnic at Bo'nita Beach, so off we went in two cars, arriving there in time to get the full benefit of the setting sun. After poking about in the shells washed up by the tide, we partook of a bountiful lunch, during which, owing to high winds and other accidents, several of the party were baptized, with lemonade, but notwithstanding we polished off the lunch and then went for a brisk walk. It was not so' brisk returning, since we had the wind against us. We all made it, however, and returned tired but happy. Those of the party were: Sister Emily Bessemer, Alton, Alice and Raymond Bessemer, Sisters Florence, Bella Armour, Hedwig Michel and Marie Fischer; Brothers Theodore Naeseiius and Lester Wintersgill.
