IAmericans, Canadians
t0f Croat Descent Are
Offered Splendid Work

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. -
The long pressing need for an
accurate and interesting book
about the Croatian language
has finally been satisfied by
the publication of "Introduc-
tion To The Serbo- Croatian
Language"
The author Of this text
book Is DIR. Thomas r.
Magner, Associate Profess
sor of Slavic Languages at
the University of Minneso-
ta.
The book is so planned that
the student can study either
Croatian or Serbian, or both.
Although only $50 pages
long, the book is full to burst
ing with conversations, anec-
dotes, folk-tales and biogra-
phical sketches of famous
Croats.
And the final section is a
citancica or little reader.
Two small dictionaries, one in
latinica and the other in Girl
lica, accompany each book.
Visual Appeal Striking
Croatian grammar is ex-
planned in a way that an Ame-
rican student would most cas-
lily understand it.
This book should be of
great value to the children
of American CrOats, who
want to master their an
cestral language but are
discouraged by the old
fashioned, "dry-a SD u S t"
manuals.
The visual appeal of this
book is most striking. Photo
graphs of Croats, like Gaj
and strosmajer, and drawings
of Croatian peasants give this
book its very appealing as
pect.
Visited Overseas Twice
This book results from the
great interest of the author
in the language and culture
of the Yugoslav people.
The author, who received
his doctorate in Slavic Lin
guistics at Yale University,
teaches a course in the Croa-
tian language in alternate
years at the University OF
Minnesota.
He has visited YugOsla-
via on two occasions and
has spent much time travel
ing throughout Croatia.
The first edition Of this
book is an experimental one
and is limited to a thousand
copies.
If American Croats are suf'
ficiently interested in the Gro
. atian language to support this
: first effort, succeeding edi'
tions will incorporate sugges'
tions of Croatian scholars
and teachers.

When in full operation, the

alent of 25 kilowatts of elec-

now producing four times
more electricity than it did in

With the completion of the

the beauties of Jablanica and
it's already engrossing vicini-

Mostar A Quaint City
Leaving Jablanica, the bus
es threaded their way
through the Grand Canyon"
of the valley of the Neretva
River with it's glittering sides
of sheer rock design.
Ahead was another long,
winding mountain climb, one
which rewarded the tourists
with glimpses of the noun
tains (planine) PREM, Plase,
Cvrsnica and Velez an d
brought them to the horizon
at Bjelopolje.
Next to Mostar, the center
of Herzegovina and a city OF
rare beauty.
Situated at the foot of roc
ky mountains, Mostar is
colorful community of large
mosques rising above stone
houses, surrounded by fir:
and rich southern vegetation
Awaiting the tourists in
Mostar were representa-
tives of ''Matica" of Bosnia
and Herzegovina and in
short order the visitors and
their guests were seated a
round the festive board in
a local hostelry.
Wined and dined in trul.
regal fashion, the America
and Canadian guests wer
waited on hand and foot b
the good people of Mostal
Certainly a highlight of tn
gathering was an address b
the President of the "Kotal
skog Narodnog Odbora' G
Mostar.
World Famous Bridge
Before leaving old Mosts
the group stopped to see tn
city's ancient, classic bride
which the Turks erected
cross the Neretva River in tn
18th Century.
Built by the pupils of the
famous Turkish architect
Sinan, this bridge has at
tracted engineers from thu
four corners of the earth tt
study the nature of a con
struction design which has
defied centuries of weal
and tear and remains "ship
shape" to this day.
The old town with it's toy
ers around this historic brids
was until recently the cent
of the Mostar merchants wi
carried on trade with the
counterparts in the Republ
of Dubrovnik, Trieste, Venic
Sienna and other 18th al
10Th Centuries Central Eur
pean trade centers.
The tinsmiths, ribbon al
lace makers, skinners al
other artisans were famo
for their handiwork throug
out the immense Ottom;
Empire. In fact, the people
Constantinople were t h e
best customers.
Mostar has certainly play
a great role in the history
Europe.
