FUN FUN FUNIFeasting, fashion and festivity were the order of the evening at

Casa Ybel last week when scientists and islanders relaxed at a Hawaiianluau. The Sea Horse Gift Shop presented a showing of bathing suits,patio and sport outfits. Modeling these colorful fashions were IsabelMcWhorter, Marion Chaplin, Debbie McQuade, Pam Holtzman, MaryJo Morse, and the girls from Antioch College: Joanie Parman and Bar-bara McGraw. Coralee Webb gave a most graceful interpretation ofHawaiian dances. Chef John outdid himself with a succulent roastpig, sweet and sour pork and shrimp, and chicken and sweet potatoesHawaiian style. Professor Lowdin appeared in his own lava-lava,and as the climax of the evening, he presented a framed certificateof appreciation from the Institute to Ed Webb for Excellent Serviceand another to Chef John Smith for Excellent Meals. This, he said,was the first time in the history of the Instituters that such an ex-pression of appreciation had been given.

ISLANDER

DARWIN-ABBOT

Mrs. Charles Barnes Dar-win was married to Dr. RobertTucker Abbott at St, Martin'sEpiscopal Church, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Jan-uary 8,

Dr. Abbott has been a fre-quent visitor to the Islands andwas judge of the Shell Fairlast March. He is a malaco-logist with the American Acad-emy of Natural Sciences, andhas written a number of booksin the field of shells.

ROBIN NEWS

Not all r o b i n s have redbreasts in spite of what youmay have heard to the con-trary — H.A. VroomanofCap-tiva Island reported seeing analbino robin last week.

"It was' very pale grey,"he said, "and had a very lightslightly pinkish breast. It wasthe strangest looking thingl"

As most Islanders know,robins have been flying all overthe Islands in great flocks late-ly. Since there are so manyof them, and since robins arenotoriously non-housebroken, itis not the fact that an albinorobin was seen that surprisesus —• it was the fact thatMr. Vrooman had the courageto look up at all.

SWINGIN* SE BRING

As sports car buffs know,the 12-hour endurance race atSebring takes place in March -—Saturday, March 26 this year.

And, as the announcer usedto say at the end of a soapopera, the big question this yearis — can Ferrari regain itsleadership — or will Texascar owner Jim Hall again taketop honors with his big Americanautomatic transmission Chap-arrals? His win last year wasof great personal satisfaction toat least one half of your ed-itorial staff (the female half)as she had been saying for yearsthat automatic transmissionswere better, to which the otherhalf (male) would say condes-cendingly, "You females justdon't know anything about carsat all!"

Hall's win at Sebring un-derstandably u p s e t Ferrari ,which is entering three all-newsports prototypes in the Sebringrace. Hall in turn has his newChaparrals all ready to go, andFerrari will also have to keepan eye or two on Carroll Shel-by's Cobras as well as the newFord GT Prototypes.

Sebring, by the way, is funeven if you've never been toa sports car race before. Manypeople camp out in tents, trai l-ers and U-Haul-it trailers, ofall things. (The latter is whatwe prefer.) T h e r e are, ofcourse, grandstand seats and thepaddock for those who prefer thee a s i e r living of s u n-s hadedwatching and being near the r e -freshment booths.

Anyway you look at it, how-ever, Sebring is a nice placeto be Sa tu rday , March 26,(Thursday and Friday, too, ifyou can get the time.)

CHILDREN'S ART SHOW

All school-age children onthe Islands, both residents andvisitors, are invited to submitpaintings for the children's artshow at the Sea Horse Gallerythe week of January 29.

WHO'S WHO OH £ AMI BELMr. and Mrs. ALBERT

BERRY were able to get awayfrom the hustle and bustle ofNaperville, 111., to spend anenjoyable time recently at TikiCottage, Sanibel home of CYand DOT BISCARDI of Roslyn,Long Island.

CHARLES LeBUFF, ourcrocodillian expert, gave a talkto the scientists at Casa Ybelabout the alligator tagging pro-ject on Sanibel. It was of spec-ial interest to his audiencethat the apparently insignificant

. alligator has played an impor-tant role in preserving Sanibelwildlife and that he has beena connecting link between otherforms of life. One of the ad-miring scientists philosophizedon the greatly different tempoin the scientific observations ofthe quantum physicist and thenaturalist, who makes his ob-servations in the field. In thelaboratory, quantum phenomenaare practically instantaneous,whereas being able to write abook on alligators from directobservation may require a life-time.

Mr. and Mrs. RICHARD T.WOMB WELL have r e t u r n e dfrom their Northern home inBayville, New Jersey, to theirSouthern home-to-be on Sanibel.At present, they are renting theAldens' cottage, but hope to startbuilding their own this springon property they are purchasingfrom PriscillaMurphy, Realtor.

Also planning to build a per-manent home on Sanibel as soonas they have completed purchaseof a lot from Priscilla are Mr.and Mrs. MARION V.DACZYN-SKI, formerly of Bayside, NewJersey. They are now rentinga unit in Periwinkle Cottagewhile making their plans.

Another prospective home-builder, Mrs. JOHN F. KOL ARS,visited the islands briefly togather information from Pris-cilla Murphy, from whom theypurchased a lot last fall. Hus-band John had to stay home inAnn Arbor, Mich., but Ann wasat a meeting of geographersat Florida Atlantic Univ., BocaRaton, and made a quick tripto Sanibel en route home to dosome leg work.

Things don't seem to be inbalance with MARY and JOEGAULT unless there is a bevyof young people around them.With their own girls away fromhome, the obvious answer wasa couple of Antioch studentsin exchange. Added to Joe'sbright young staff of assistantsat The Sea Horse Shop areJOANIE PARMAN, whose homeis in Cedar Crest, New Mexico,and BARBARA McGRAW, fromBlack Mountain, North Carolina.

This is their first three-month work period and they areeagerly learning about meetingthe public, merchandising, andincidentally, getting some in-sight into the kinds of lives ledby the islanders they are meet-ing. Already they feel that thisSanibel interlude is going to bea fascinating and valuable partof the Antioch spectrum.

Intrepid fishermen MARKMcCLINTICK (of Tradewinds)and FRANK KIESLING of Water-bury, Conn., have been joinedrecently in their outings byMark's father, MARK W., whowas quite delighted with his firstcatch of a 3 1/2 pound red fishand not at all chagrined whenveteran Frank topped him by4 pounds. Mark's parents havecome from their home in An-derson, Ind., to visit.

In preparation for the 1966Shell Fair in March, the CaptivaLibrary has borrowed all avail-able books on shells and shell-craft from the Florida State Li-brary at Tallahassee, for lend-ing to Captiva and Sanibel resi-dents and visitors. In the collec-tion seven titles on shells, andfive on shellcraft.

A surprise visit from Mr.and Mrs. GEORGE BERGERand Mrs. ROBERT HAY ofHendersonville, N.C., was en-joyed by HERVEY and HAZELROBERTS last Friday. The Ber-gers and Hays were vacationingat Sarasota, but ran down forthe day to take at least a quicklook at our famous Islands. TheRoberts almost missed the visi-tors, as they had taken Hazel'sa u n t , Miss CORA BRUEGGE-MAN, of St. Louis, who hadspent the Christmas holidayshere, to Tampa to catch a planeto go home. Because the weatherwas so bad, the Roberts de-cided not to linger in -Tampa,and reached here the day be-fore their friends' call.

Captiva was the scene of anear-tragedy on Sunday after-noon, January 16, in the highsurf on the Gulf.

An eighteen foot motor boat,with New York registry, drivenby a Mr. Al Decsov, a violin-ist, of Cape Coral, was beachedon the sand at the foot ofCoconut Drive. Mr. Decsov hadhis wife and a young girl neigh-bor as passengers, and in spiteof storm warnings, they hadset out from Cape Coral fora ride. The rough water hadmade both of the women vio-

l e n t l y sea-sick, and t h e i rthreats to jump overboard de-termined the owner to try tomake a run for the beach toland. He headed inshore, avoid-ing the groins, but striking asmall reef, which turned hisboat sidewise, and the wavesthen piled it up on the sand.

The badly frightened andsoaking wet passengers walkedto Mr. Stanley McCaul's houseto ask for a telephone, and Mrs.McCaul and other good neigh-bors gave them hot showersand dry clothes, and the mensecured the boat, which wasfilling with sand and saltwater.On Monday m o r n i n g , M r .Blank's machine helped to hoistthe boat onto its trailer, andthe adventure must have endedin a high repair bill for theowner.

BOWLING 'EM OVER

The Islander Bowling Team,consisting of Doc Bryant, EdLegel and Gogo Gogolin, got offto a fast start for Dotti's Fash-ions after the holidays by takingfour games. Legel bowled justfair, about at his average. Gogowas bowling in old-fashionedstyle, that is, not so good. Doccame up with a 256 for topgame of the league. Last week,Ed was, as they say, hot togo, bowling like a big leaguerand Doc won two jackpots withseveral games over 200. Theteam is just two games out offirst and still going strong.

"My life started afresh whenI came to the Island]" exclaim-ed Sarasota artist GLADYSCHILDS, with characteristicexuberance. It was a romanticturning point in her life. Shewas then a successful musicianand writer with an unquietableurge for yet some other crea-tive outlet. She came in distressover the death of her husbandand was inspired by drfitwood,palms and old Sanibel landmarksto try her hand at drawing.k. Several of these subjects arePlready gone, including the CoastGuard Tower, mailboat, andthe old Captiva Postoffice. She

has preserved them for us,however, with her inimitablecharcoal sketches.

Encouraged by her friendHELEN DENNY, to believe inthis new talent even before sheherself realized she had it,she continued doing Sanibelscenes, and at Helen's insti-gation, had them put on post-cards.

They have appeared in shopsall along the East coast, butdistribution became a problemand they are now out of print(though some are still availableat Edie Mugridge's Glory of theSea.) They were an excellentspringboard from which Gladyshas gone on to bigger things.She is a member of the Brad-enton Art League and her sket-ches of homes and familiar Fla.scenes have met with wide a-claim.

Gladys is here on the Is-land she loves for less than aweek this time. But when shefound it in 1960, she stayedon and on for more than twoyears and became a realislander. Faces brighten in allquarters as word gets aboutthat she is here again.

She can be seen with sketchpad, at work, when light andshadows are just right, doingher favorite scenes — thelighthouse, the "troubled" treesat Villa Capri and always theirresistible grasses and drift-wood on the beach. She is as-sembling her next one-man showwhich will be held early thissummer at the art gallery inthe Spartansburg-Greenville,S.C., airport. Between exhibits,

THE ISLANDERshe keeps busy with commis-sions for painting and sketch-ing, and she has not droppedher writing.

In her period of turmoil in1960, Gladys wrote an articlefor Trailer Topics, called Sec-ond Time Around (her secondhome in a trailer.) She is stillto be found in the second trail-er, when at home, in South-winds Trailer Park in Sara-sota. She has just completed anautobiographical novel that isa record of her own period ofadjustment when she moved toFlorida as a young widow, withspecial emphasis on the in-fluences that shaped her. LikeGladys, the heroine of her no-vel couldn't stay down — sheis a living bundle of creativeurges and talents, and her joiede vivre just had to recover andassert itself.

Gladys has been staying atJohn Wright's Caribe Adven-ture. Some of her sketchescan be seen on display therein the lounge.

Kenney, who wrote "My SistexEileen," will play this Saturdayand Sunday, and the followingweek, Friday and Saturday, Feb.4 and 5. Tickets may be re-served in advance by calling thebox office, GR 2-3943.
