Service In determining how the sanctuary can best be used.Givens said that completion of the sanctuary survey started in

1963 by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Manage-ment had been held up by the huge and urgent survey job at CapeKennedy. This latter is approaching an end and completion of theSanibel survey has been assigned a high priority on the bureau'sjob list.

Tom Woods showed an aerial map of the sanctuary and he outlinedin general where a proposed canoe trail would run. The trail wouldbe marked to prevent canoeists from getting lost among the manymangrove islands and would have signs pointing out various spots ofinterest. Mr. and Mrs. Richard fCoss of Des Moines, Iowa, gave areport on the J.N. (Ding) Darling Foundation, with which the sanctuarycommittee is affiliated,.

Mrs. H. WELLS, the friendand guest of Mrs. DOROTHYSTEARS, made an exceptional-ly rare find Monday a week agoin the Rocks area a Cyma-tium martinianum (hairy tr i-ton) and it was live! Mrs.Wells is not a sheller, at least,not one who keeps a collection,so she gave this exceptionallyfine specimen to Mrs. Stearnsfor her collection.

At the Blue Dolphin for twomonths are Mr, and Mrs. A.E.MORRISON from Richmond,Virginia, and Mr. and Mrs.W.C. JOHNSON, fromCuyahoeoFalls, Ohio.

RUTH ATWELL and HELENLAWRENCE, both retired pro-fessors of physical educationat The George Washington Uni-versity, whose home is in Arl-ington, Virginia, have just dis-covered Sanibel and are en-thusiastically s t a y i n g for amonth at Caribe Adventure.

M i s s Atwell, w h o was for-merly head of her departmentat the university, is also anartist and she will be busydoing seascapes in both oil andwatercolor. Miss Lawrence wasin charge of handicapped stu-dents.

Twelve years ago Mr. S.F.SANDER, manufacturer, o fStamford, Conn., and Mrs.San-der came to Sanibel.

longer. Arthur graduated in civilengineering and disliked thework from the first day, so hehas made tent-making his ca-reer. He is with the EurekaTent and Awning Co., whichmade tents for the AmericanHimalayan Expedition in 1963,for the Peace Corps, Boy Scouts,and will design them for theJohns-Hopkins Amazon Expe-dition. Abercrombie & Fitch isone of their commercial out-lets.

A r t h u r is a n " a m a t e u r "painter "who is learning topaint as he goes," His favoritesubjects—always landscapes—are in Vermont and the Cat-skills. He loves Sanibel, NOTbecause he finds it paintable—when here, he paints landscapeslargely from memory—but be-cause it is so quiet and thereis "NOTHING TO DO."

"Last year I was here for 30days and nobody asked me toa cocktail party. Very refresh-ing! We go to bed at 8:30 andare up at dawn.

"Martha likes to go shelling,and I always walk at least twomiles every day. When I settledown to paint, she will oftenjoin me with her crosswordpuzzles—she's afiendforthem,

"I don't really know how topaint, it's hard for me, butI'm bound to learn—and as Ilearn to paint I learn to see.Colors, light, skies—there isalways something more for meto learn about these, and onSan ibe l they are e s p e c i a l l ywonderful."

Arthur paints exclusively inoils, doesn't like detail (nowonder he didn't like civil en-gineering!). He calls himself anamateur, yet is already so so-phisticated that he uses hisp a l e t t e knife more than his

brush!They are staying at The

Beachcomber. Stay on, Arthurand Martha. We're glad to haveyou, and hope you will exhibityour paintings sometime.

WHO'S WHO OH CAPTIVADid a n y o n e lose a seal?

Ruth Lillie and Hazel Perkinswere really surpised to see agood-sized seal walking acrossthe yard. It evidently had comeashore at the Lillie dock on theBay, and decided to get a swimin the Gulf. It stopped whencalled and looked around whenit heard the clapping of hands.The ladies were sure that ifthey had had a fish to offer,it could have been enticed tocome and get it.

After the seal had divedinto the Gulf and swum happilyaway, everyone began to won-der if this was the sea lionmissing some time ago fromRoy's Marina on Fort MyersBeach. Roy, too, is wondering.His sea lion was returned once,but (with human help in themiddle of the night) has againdisappeared. So, if a friendlyseal (really and truly it is aCalifornia sea lion and is usedin circus and animal shows asa "seal.") comes calling onyou in your Island home, RoyLeonard (MO 4-9751) would ap-preciate a phone call.

The film to be shown to-morrow night (Friday) will be"No Highway In The Sky" withGregory Peck, Marlene Diet-rich, Glynnis Johns and JackHawkins. The movie will beshown at the Captiva Commun-ity House.

When fishing is dull, some-thing new and exciting has tohappen, and Andy's Dock wasthe place. A lady fishermanhas been reduced to catchingsea gulls, and it happened twicein one morning recently. Thegulls, ever-hungry, dived atthe lady's bait shrimp, whichshe had not used s u f f i c i e n tweight to sink. The gulls gotall involved with the hook, andAndy had to come to the rescueand release them.

On Friday, Feb. 25, therewill be an observance of theWorld Day of Prayer at 2:30in the Chapel by the Sea onCaptiva.

Among the guests at 'TweenWaters Inn are many peoplewho are perennial visitors toCaptiva Island, including Mrs.JOHN BLACK of Ontario, Mrs.JAMES KIRKPATRICK fromVermont, Mrs. KAY WOOD ofChicago, Mr. and Mrs. PAULSCHMITT of Shelbyville, Ky.,and Mr. and Mrs. WILLIAMCALDWELL of Danville, Ky.

Massachusetts people includeMr. and Mrs. NORMAN KALATof Worcester, FRANK E. SES-SIONS, also of Worcester, andMrs. GEORGE STOUT of theGardner Museum in Boston.

FASHIOiNf SHOW

Here's to the Fashion Show,and may there be many others!The annual fashion show for St.Michael's and All Angels washeld on Thursday, February 10,at South Seas Plantation. Thetropical and spacious settingaround the pool proved to beideal.

It was a festive event foran audience of well over 150,including quite a number of hus-bands. The 25 models were bet-ter than professionals—mostw e r e friends and neighborswhose previous modeling mayhave been limited to Sanibel,but it was relaxed, polished andvery effective. If there was adefinite theme, it was not limit-ing and each shop could makethe most of its specialty. Themodels were well chosen for thedistinctive types of clothing fea-tured by the different shops—the practical, the "different,"the exotic, the well-tailoredfunctional clothes with a touchof the unusual.

Co-chairmen Fanetta (Mrs.Paul) StahlinandAdelaideHolmes did a fine job of or-ganizing the show. Mrs. Stahlinwas an excellent commentator.Nine shops participated. The SeaHorse, Dottl's, The Red Peli-can, Birgit's, Bailey's and theThrift Shop showed a tantaliz-ing array of clothes to wearfrom dawn to dusk on the is-lands—beachwear, sports out-fits—clothes for fishing, shel-ling, shopping and evening.

Congratulations to Dotti on, her flower girls—a lovely idea!

and to Francis Bailey for themale star of the show: fisher-man Chuckie (Huck Finn) Le-Buff.

Attractive gift-carts fay Fri-days' House of Treasures TheB-Hive and The Black Pearlwore a new feature for the show.The center of interest of theFr idays* showing was theirBirthstone of the Month display.This is one of the interest-ing attractions maintained at theHouse of Treasures, a com-plete display of the traditionalbirthstone for the current month—including the rough gem, un-mounted cut stones and an as-sortment of fine jewelry. Thebirthstone for February beingamethyst, the display featured

THEthis gem, symbolic of "deepand pure love" and tradition-ally known to have the facultyof "warding off intoxication."

The B-ffive displayed match-ing hats and totes on their hat-tree. Hats by Manhattan-Miami.

The Aloe-Creme Cosmeticline dominated the display shownby The Black Pearl, which in-cluded the actual aloe-vera plantfrom which comes the all-im-portant gel used in the cos-metics. A l so featured w e r eplush toys by Kamar, an assort-ment of toddlers' swimmingoutfits and the Bettyes' new lineof Terry Togs.

Mary Aleck's Beauty Shopwas responsible for the excit-ing hair styles.

Among the comments heard,the most frequent were these:"South Seas is such a per-fect setting—I hope it will beheld there again." "This de-serves to be a big Island Event,like the Shell Fair ." And fromthe participating shops; "Mar-velous response}" "A gratify-ing impact that we are stillfeeling." "Thanks to everyone'sefforts it was a big success—a most receptive,audience, themodels were great, lots of hardwork, but so worth it!"

ISLAND PROFILESby maude i. lawrence

In a story-book setting atthe end of a palm-shaded drivesets one of the most attractivehomes on the Island — and oneof the oldest. Little do tourists(and many Islanders) realizethat the lovely two-story whitebuilding with its facade of fourGeorgian pillars and balcony and

PtaejaA, tcuti

2-17-66outside stairway of dainty grill-work which Mrs. Dorothy Book-er, familiarly known to Island-ers as Dotti, has chosen as hernewly opened shop of fashion andgifts, is one of the originalSanibel homesteads.

Built in 1880 by sea captainGeorge Cooper, the house orig-inally was on wooden blocks, atype of foundation so typical'ofSouthern homes which are con-tinually threatened by risingwaters. During a succession ofowners the land was farmed andfinally the house was extensivelydamaged by a severe hurricane,

No trace of devastation isleft in the present renovatedbuilding which houses so charm-ingly the chic house of fashion —whose trademark is a red andwhite replica of an Oldsmobilecomplete with surrey-with-the-fringe-on-top detail — whichDotti so efficiently manages.

Dotti herself, a vivaciouslady whose vibrant personalitylends itself so well to her as-sociation with the fashion-minded who patronize her shop,came originally from Balti-more, Maryland. John HopkinsUniversity gave her the back-ground for educational pursuits— she is an avid reader; livingon a cattle ranch in Marylandwhere show horses were raisedfurnished her with the oppor-tunity to become an expert inhorsemanship; and her inateflair for fashion instigated herpresent venture.

In common with most Island-ers Dotti loves birds and, inspare moments, finds the care-f r ee contentment of shellingalong the beaches, often ac-companied by her nine year oldGerman police dog, Rebel.

WATER WORK 18% COMPLETED

Mr. William F, Bishop of Bennett, Bishop & Passalacqua, Con-sulting Engineers, made the following progress report to the IslandWater Association on February 9:

The construction work on the Island Water Association system hasprogressed satisfactorily during the month of January. On'the basisof contractors* approved requisitions, the work is approximately IS%complete, with 25% of the elapsed contract time passed. Althoughthese percentages indicate a lag in the work, this has been primarilya result of mobilization time for the subsequent crossing and the pipeline installation. It is expected that at the end of February, the con-struction work will be substantially equal to the elapsed contracttime.

The construction on pumping stations is well ahead of schedule,and it is expected during the latter part of February that constructionwill begin on the reservoirs at two of the three pumping stations.

Shop drawings have been approved for all major components tobe included in the work, and all major pieces of equipment a-re onorder.

Approximately 40% of the subaqueous crossing has been excavatedand Installation of pipe should begin during the latter part of February.
