Island artists had spec-tacular success last yea r—let's do it again.

A hearty welcome to theRONALD FENTONS, who areback on the island- and expectto remain for an extended stay.

Doctors lead so strenuous alife that most of them have tohave hobbies. Dr. Frank Ward-er , an oto-rhino-laryngologist(ear, nose and throat doctorto us), has. had a consuminginterest in shells ever since theWarders' first visit to Sanibelthree years ago. As a result,Dr. and Mrs. Warder have anexceptionally fine collection ofpectins and rareties from allover the world. After a monthat Tradewinds they will be offto the Grand Bahamas for moreexciting discoveries before r e -turning to their home in Ander-son, South Carolina.

The Reverend ARTHUR KON-TINOS has taken a brief r e -spite from Ms duties as parishpriest at the Greek OrthodoxChurch in Aliquippa, Pa., tovisit his sister, MARY ALECK,brothers JOHN and NICK, andhis parents, Mr. and Mrs. KON-STANTINOS KONTINOS.

The O.K. Water Associationreports that the block is beinglaid for the Dixie Beach Boule-vard Sub-station and decks havebeen poured for the main stationon the state road and for theCaptiva Sub-station, so work isgenerally proceeding on sche-dule.

The B-Hive Kegglers holdonto their position in the RustyLee Classic of 1/2 game outof first place, with each memberrolling above average to main-tain this record. The positionon Wednesday night is 2nd placeand although the B's are buzz-ing hard, they lag a bit in theMonday night action and at thiswriting stand 4th out of 1stplace.

Leon Levy, who has been thesource of all our good news onMaybelle Stamper's award in thelast Sears' Southern Contem-porary Art Festival, has justfinished reading his mail beyondthe first exciting announcementand discovered that his ownw a t e r c o l o r entitled "Ship-wreck," won an honorable men-tion in that same final judgingof the 120 winning paintings atthe Wutherspoon Museum, Uni-versity of North Carolina.

BRUCE and SUSIE DANIELS,son and daughter-in-law of Mr.and Mrs. DRAPER DANIELS,drove in from New Orleans fora week's stay at the Daniels'cottage.

SANCTUARY COMMISSION MAKESPLAMSFOR A CANOE TRAIL

Plans for a canoe trail into the J.N, (Ding) Darling Sanctuary onSanibel were made at a meeting oi the Sanctuary Commission held atthe home of the chairman, Mrs. H.L. Lewis, on Gulf Drive last week.Other Items at the meeting included discussions of possible landnature trails and the appointment of Hervey Roberts of Captivatethe commission to replace the late Harold Bixby.

As visualized, the trail will make it possible for canoeists to getback into the deeper portions of the sanctuary not now accessibleDistinctive markers will be placed not only to lead to points of Interestbut as gaides through the numerous and confusing mangrove Islandsmat in their present unmarked state would make such trips hazardousNo boat motors will be permitted on the trail, to minimize disturbingthe birds, particularly to nesting areas. However, little difficultyIs anticipated on this score, as much of the water involved is tooshallow for motors.

Two of the commission members, "Tom Woods of the U S Fishand Wildlife Service, and Roberts, were appointed a committee tolay out a proposed route. This survey is to start at once, and it ishoped the trail can be to operation for at least the latter part of thewinter visitor season.

It was brought out at the meeting that the Darling Sanctuary hasbecome one of SaaUjel's major attractions. It has become known through-out the country for its numerous and unusual shore and water birds.Even though at present it contains ao facilities except an access road*a high percentage of the tourists and visitors to the island go throughit. During the recent state cosveigion of the Florida Audubon Societyat Lehigh Acres more than 40 delegates made a trip to Sanibel pri-marily to visit the sanctuary.

Commissioners attending the meeting were Mrs, Lewis, Chairman,Mrs, Opal Combs, Secretary, Roy Bazire, Joe Gauls, James Jack,Woods, aad Roberts, Mr. aM Mrs. Richard ross , Darling's son-inlaw and daaghter, were expected at the meeting bat were delayed inreaching the island.
