PIONEER CITIZEN HELD "NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACT OF GOD

"Senior Citizens" grow old--"Pioneer Citizens" do not; theygrow into the community and enr ich it with their presence andmemories.

Uncle Arthur Gibson celebrated his 77th birthday yesterday and wewish him many more. He got to talking about the old days and aboutthe first Florida hurricane he ever went through The one in 1910.

At that time, he was running the mail boat between Sanibel andFort Myers. One fateful day, when the weather seemed a little odd,he picked up 13 bags of mail from the Island and started out forFort Myers.

He never made it. The blow began and the boat overturned and sank.Uncle Arthur made his way to shore and rode out the worst of the stormat Wulfort Point. When the winds began to die, he somehow rightedthe 30 foot boat, and bag by bag, he recovered the 13 bags of mail fromthe bottom of the Bay and the mangroves. Then he hung the bags, whichwere filled with soggy pulp by this time, from surrounding bushes andtrees' until the major part of the water had gurgled out.

Finally, he was ready to go, soggy mail and soggy mail man, andgot the mail to Fort Myers only 27 hours late. Of. course, when allthis mail was delivered, complaints from recipients started pouringin. Poor Uncle Arthur was swamped with them, and finally wrote aletter to the Post Office Department in Washington explaining the

CHAMBER MEETINGTonight, Wednesday, April 28, The Sanibel-CapUva Chamber of

Commerce is holding its annual meeting at 8 p.m. in the SanibelCommunity House, There will be the Annual Election of Directors.

THE BRIDGE QUESTIONThe proposed bridge from Pine Island to our Islands has generated

a goodly amount of discussion on the Islands. As we said last weekmost of the comment is adverse. A number of people, for businessreasons, declined comment for publication, although they all deploredbringing more people to Sanibel when facilities are not available forthose already here, and said the only apparent benefit would be toPine Island real estate developers.

We welcome all comment---yes or no, and your reason why. Hereis what some of your neighbors think about the proposed bridge.

Paul and Edna Kearns No. There are no public accomodations.Where will the money come from to pick up the trash they will scatter?We don't want to become a public beach.

Mr. and Mrs. Murray Hamilton of Toronto, who have been Islandvisitors for six years No. One of the charms of Sanibel is itsfreedom from crowds of tourists and its seclusion.

Ethel Snyder No! One bridge is enough of a concession to make!The Colony staff and guests No, very decidedly no! There is

nothing to be gained and much to be lost by hooking up with PineIsland. It is suggested they impruve their own Island and make itattractive to tourists instead of trying to utilize some other place.

Bill Newman, who made it very clear he was not talking as arepresentative or officer of the Chamber of Commerce, but as"private citizen Newman'* The only reason for the bridge betweenPine Island and our Islands is so that the developers of Pine Islandcan say they had access to our Islands' beautiful swimming andshelling beaches. In addition, we do not have the facilities for theexisting guests We are certainly not prepared for an additionalinflux of visitors.

We ourselves wonder about the economics of it all. The presentcauseway, which has brought more guests to our Islands than wecan handle, has not collected the revenue that was originally estimated.Where then, are the thousands of toll-paying travelers to come fromto pay for another multi-thousand dollar access route? And, horrifyingthought, if enough do come over the bridge to pay for it, where will weput them all?

The owners of the REDPELICAN wish to thank allthose who were kind enough toc o m e in and, in so many in-stances, express such sincereenthusiasm for the shop.

Mr. & Mrs. A.C. SAILSTADof Houston, Texas, are spend-ing a month in their cottage,"Bali-Hi."

LYN SMITH and MIKEROBERTSON are also spendingtwo weeks at Shalimar. Thetwo of them are owners andoperators of "Sunshine RealEstate, Inc.," in Coconut Grove,a section of Miami, and are theonly two women to own andmanage their own real estateoutfit there.

The business had been es-tablished in 1910, and insteadof modernizing the buildingwhich housed "Sunshine," theyrestored its gleaming turn-of-the-century f r e s h n e s s andcharm.

S e c r e t a r y of Labor W.WILLARD WIRTZ, who was inFlorida on an inspection trip,flew to Sanlbel in a privateplane for several days of quietvacationing and sunning sanstelephones, memos and suchlike. We hope he repeats thecall.

CHARLES LE BUFF of theU.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceon Sanibel has left the Islandsfor a short vacation in NewOrleans. His father, CHARLESLE BUFF, Sr., and his brother,LABAN, accompanied him.

WHO'S WHO ON SAMIBEt,

Mrs. WILLIAM SCHMID andher sister, Miss KATHLEENMAGEE of Washington, D.C.,arrived at Hurricane House aweek ago Tuesday. They havebeen visiting the Islands fora long time, but since this istheir first visit sincethe Cause-way opened, they are busy in-specting "Our Islands," as theyrefer to Sanibel and Captiva.

PAUL KEARNS's brother,H.A. KEARNS and his daughter,VIRGINIA of West Hollywood,Florida, were Easter guestsat Hurricane House, and en-joyed a sumptous dinner. Otherguests for Easter dinner wereMrs. S.D. McNAUGHT and herdaughter ANNE of Sanibel.

Mr. & Mrs. H.O.HOFFMANhave returned to their home inHudson, Ohio, after spendingthe season since January withthe Kearns. We're told they'realready anticipating their r e -turn next winter.

MacMILLAN and their fourchildren of Toronto, Canada,Dr. &' Mrs. JOSEPH MORANof Toledo, Ohio, and their threechildren, and Dr. and Mrs.JOHN KEVORKIAN of Water-town, Mass., who are here fortheir seventh Island vacation.The Kevorkians' son, CHUCK,a student at Tampa University,visited his p a r e n t s duringspring vacation.

The Fort Myers AudubonSociety brought a picnic lunchand visited the Islands lastSaturday. They arrived at thelight house at 9:30 in the morn-ing, made a treck to the BirdSanctuary, went shelling on thebeaches, and just generally hada wonderful time. The groupwas joined by two Island visi-tors who had heard of the ex-pedition.

Mr. & Mrs. HOWARD PED-ERSEN and family have justreturned to their homein Pleas-ant Ridge, Michigan, a f t e rspending the Easter holidayswith their parents, Mr. andMrs. CECIL S.

LISA, TOMMYand ROBBIE were very proudof their brother even thoughthey didn't have as good luckwith shelling.

Miss DOROTHY R. HERBI-SON of the University of Chi-cago, Chicago, Illinois, pur-chased two lots in La CostaIsles, La Costa Island, thisweek through the office ofPRISCILLA MURPHY, Realtor.

Miss Herbison is a friendof BETTY SEARS and EVELYNPEARSON, well-known ownersand operators of The NutmegHouse on Sanibel. She visitedSanibel recently and expects toreturn in November to look ather lots, which she has notyet seen.

Her purchase brings to 19the number of lots in this sub-division sold through Pr is -cilia's office—all in one area,which might well be called San-ibel-on-La-Costa. The l o t shave been purchased by a num-ber of Islanders, whohavefoundthe tropical beauty so impres-sive even compared to theirhome islands, that they haveconvinced a number of friendsfrom afar to join their LaCosta colony.

La Costa Isles is a sub-division owned by TRAVIS A.GRESHAM, Jr . , Fort Myersattorney, which extends fromthe Gulf to Pine Island Soundon the upper part of La CostaIsland,

GERTRUDE AMON'S nieceand two of her friends wereguests on the Islands duringt h e i r s p r i n g vacation fromCapital University in Columbus,Ohio .

SERMON BOOKLET

Hundreds of Islanders haveheard the Rev, Thaddeus Alien'ssermons on Sunday morningsat the S a n i b e l CommunityChurch and always with thefeeling that they have attendedWorship, not just gone tochurch. They often ask theirbeloved Rev. Tad to repeatfavorite sermons and many ofthem have said "We'd like topreserve some of these-—'*but one of the guild membersdidn't just stop there—whileeveryone else was just listen-ing, she made shorthand notes.

When t h e Ladies' Guildlearned that she had done thisand would makeher notes avail-able, they decided to have thesermons printed in bookletform.

A charter church memberand long time friend of Rev.Tad wrote the forward and LeeRoy Friday contributed the timeand skill in assembling thebooklet for the printer.

The booklet contains ten fa-vorite sermons and advice onhow to pray effectively, as wellas a brief history of the San-ibel Community Church, theoldest church on the Islands.Also the Church's services,activities and organization areIncluded. The booklet is avail-able through the committee ofGuild members, Mrs. WillisCombs, .Mrs. 'Valte™ Strong andMrs. Floyd Snook."

, installation of officers of the 'Ladies' Guild of the SanibelCommunity C h u r c h Fridayevening, April 23. The Rev.Tad Allen asked the blessing.
