Jugoslovenski Rotar

Let us now climb to they mountain »Marijan« above Split, a mountain which the people of Split so dearly love and which is covered with pine trees. Let us enjoy the view of the surrounding fields and mountains of the glorious fort of Klis, which withstood many Turkish sieges, of the city of Split, of the blue Sea and of many isles and islets.

A short drive will bring us to the excavations of the old Roman city of Salonae (Solin) and viewing them remember the evanescence of everything in this world. — Let us then go to Trogir and see its fine cathedral from the XIII. century and other buildings of fine taste and architecture. A local service boat will take us back to Split. We have yet a few hours at our disposal, so let us see the Waterfalls of Cetina, and then back to Split and again southwards.

We shall call at Hvar on the island of the same name and view its fine old churches and buildings. Hvar enjoys the reputation of having the mildest climate on the Yugoslav coast and vies in this respect with Athens, Naples and Nice.

After leaving Hvar we shall call at Koréula, on the homonymous island, and view its fine churches and buildings. Here I shall leave you. You will continue your journey southwards without me. You will be entering now the domain of Dubrovnik where wiser and more able guides will lead you.

I hope that so far you have been satisfied with the service on the boat. The cleanliness seems to be beyond reproach, the cooking I should say is fine and the food plentiful, due attention being paid to the taste of the passengers. The wine is good, only your guide has bored you a bit with this hurried chattering of his.

Before I relax my grip however, on parting, I should like to whisper a few words to you. Life in Yugoslavija is incredibly cheap. Food and lodging in good Hotels will not cost you more than Din 80.to Din 120.— per diem (6/6 to 9/6 or 27.— to 40.— French Francs, or 5.— to 7.50 German Marks). A gallon of fine red wine will not cost you more than 4 shillings.

And now, my friends, continue your journey to Dubrovnik, where the Conference of the 77-th Rotary Disrict will be held, and where the Yugoslav Rotarians will be happy to greet you.

DUBROVNIK AS A SUMMER RESORT AND TOURIST CENTRE. BOKA KOTORSKA

Dubrovnik is the most attractive and most important tourist centre in Yugoslavia. So, for example, in 1934 about 26.500 visitors from abroad visited Dubroynik. By this number Dubrovnik surpassed all other places in Yugoslavia. Many of these visitors make excursions into the nearer and farther surroundings and we often meet them also in all the tourist centres of Yugoslavia. This paramount position Dubroynik owes to its traditions, its geographic situation, its climate,
