A HE ELECTION in Florida was rather unexcit-

I ing. the pressi ng issues hav ing been decided inthe June primaries. Principal interest cen

tered around the national contest. General

isfaction is felt w ith the res ult in this section,

nvever, because of the dry sentiment in Florida, the

(nocratic victory in the state was not so great pro-

rtionalely as it was in non- demo crat ic stat es. The

ting in Lee County and Estero was light, due, no

ibt, to the certainty of democratic success, also the

II tax. which kep t man y from v otin g. The newly

eted Governor of Florida, David Sholtz, promised to

olish the poll tax.

After a visit of several weeks with friends in Fort

•ers and at the Unity, Mrs. Alex McKay returned her home at Lakeland. Br oth er Allen Andrew s,

•ompanied by Brother Theodore Naeselius, drove to

keland to take Mrs. McKay to her home. We were

ased to have her with us for the celebration of the

.ar Festival.

Brother Charles Hunt continues to improve in

dth and we expect him to be up and around soon to

oy the out-of-doors.

A number of us attended a talk by Opie Read,

nous author and lecturer of Chicago and Howey-in-

-Hills, Florida . While his ta lk was in favo r of the

uiidaey of W. J. Howey for Governor, it was more

aries of droll, highly amusing stories than a political

>ute which he paid to the unparalleled tropical beau-

:d this section of Fl orida,— in all his tra vel s he had

'er seen anythi ng to equal it. Natu rally , we agreeh him.

It is not often that we are bothered by thieves, but

ently several of them broke one of the plate glass

idows ot the store building and stole a small quan-

°t goods and cash. Br oth er David Ri chards , whose

BT1E ELECTION in Florida was rather unexcit

ing’. the pressing issues having been decided in

the June primaries. Principal interest cen

tered around the national contest. General

sal is Iaction is felt with the result in this section.

However, because of (he dry sentiment in Florida, the

democratic victory in the state was not so great pro

portionately as it was in non-democratic states. The

voting in Lee County and Estero was light, due, no

doubt, to the certainly of democratic success, also the

poll tax which kept many from vo ting. The newly

elected Governor of Florida. David Sholtz. promised to

abolish the poll tax.

After a visit of several weeks with friends in Fort

Myers and at the Unity, Mrs. Alex McKay returned

to her home at Lakeland. Brother Allen A ndrews,

accompanied by Brother Theodore Naeselius, drove to

Lakeland to take Mrs. McKay to her home. We were

pleased to have her with us for the celebration of the

Solar Festival.

Brother Charles Hunt continues to improve in

health and we expect him to be up and around soon to enjos the out-of-doors.

A number of us attended a talk by Opie Head,

famous author and lecturer of Chicago and Howey-in-

the-Hilis, Florida. While his talk was in favor of the

candidacy of W. J. Howey for Governor, it was more

a series of droll highly amusing stories than a political

plea. A feature of his talk was the fine personal

tribute which he paid to the unparalleled tropical beau

ty of this section of Flor ida,— in all his travels he had never seen a n y t h i n g to equal it. Naturally, we agree

with him.

It is not often that we are bothered by thieves, but

recently several of them broke one of the plate glass

windows of the store building and stole a small quan

tity of goods and cash. Brother David R ichards, whose

quarters are above the store, was awakened by the

prowlers and by means of a ruse scared the burglars

away; they escaped 111 a truck and because of the late

ness of the hour, pursuit by the authorities was not

possible.

Brother Allen Andrews, accompanied by Sister

Florence Graham and Lynn Russell, drove to Miami

and Hollywood to attend the Florida State Press Asso

ciation convention at Hollywood, Florida. The party

returned by way of West Palm Beach and Clewislon.

Friends who recently visited us here were: Miss

Lydia Pierce. Mrs. Jeannie Miller, Miss Clara Angeli,

the Hi shiny family, all o f Fort M yers; Mr. and Mr.-,.

Frank Lewis of Everglades; Mr. and Mrs. Russell Kay

of Tampa: Mr. Harold Thomas of Sussex, England;

Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Rasmussen and Miss Martha Sikes

of Coral Gables: Henry and Floyd Moreland of Alva,

and Harold Moreland of Fort Myers.

The light plant has been out of commission for

several weeks pending the arrival of parts to replace

those that were broken. The plant is in operation

again.

Mrs. A. L. Camphausen and Miss Elin Lindbergh

have returned from a trip of several months in the

North. Mrs. Edith M. Johnston of Minneapolis, Min

nesota, returned with the Tea Garden ladies and will

remain in Estero for an indefinite stay.
