UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA
RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL.
The Union of South Africa is of interest to Europeans in the Far East. If they are retiring on pension, there are many pleasans South African towns in which to live. If they seek A career, and have a moderate capital, there is scope in South Africa, for planters and farmers. And for those in need of a holiday, the country is famed as a travel and health resort.
The climate is equäble. It is sunny but temperate, being neither so inclement in winter as that of Northern Europe, nor so enervating in summer as that of the East. It is a genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive.
arc
The rougher work in South Africa is done by coloured labourers and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa. The larger towas modernly equipped, and many of the smaller ones are very congenial residentially. There are numerous resorts-moun- tain, river and marine, for an occa- sional change. Sport is plentiful The cost of living and income tax- ation compare favourably with these elsewhere.UN
"In short the Union of South Africa.. Is an uncommonly attractive country.
