Rangoon, Burma.

Burma is a colony of British India. Rangoon is the chief seaport and largest city. It has most of the modern conveniences and a good water supply. It exports rice, timber, cotton, precious stones, ivory, and horns.

The Rangoon Rotary Club is one of the latest to be organized in International Rotary yet it responded to our request for a stone, at once. The Club sent an interesting illustrated booklet on Rangoon which is in the office. Be sure to read the interesting letter from the president of the Rangoon club, Mr. J. Malby.
