On the mainland, in the City Park, are located excellent facilities for lawn bowling, shuffleboard and horseshoe-pitching. Individual clubs have been or - ganized for these games, each having its own clubhouse where card parties and other social activities are participated in by the members and their friends.
Four splendid 18-hole golf courses are located within a four-mile radius of Clearwater. The 18-hole course of the Clearwater Country Club is one of the sportiest in the country and is open the year around. Those visiting here find this course more popular each season. A magnificent clubhouse, with artistic furnishings and commodious shower and locker rooms for both ladies and gentlemen, is available. The grass greens are large and scientifically designed and located. The fairways are just narrow enough to be interesting, stretching over rolling territory and natural hazards. It is a Herbert Strong layout.
Visitors to Clearwater find a community alive to its possibilities and sparked by an aggressive Chamber of Commerce. The service clubs of the city include Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Optimist, Pilot and Exchange, each meeting weekly. Veterans' organizations comprise the Turner -Brandon Post of the American Legion; Clearwater Chapter of Disabled American Veterans, Old Fort Harrison Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Clearwater Camp No. 40 of the United Spanish War Veterans, Marine Corps League and Retired Officers Club.
On the cultural side, Clearwater has one of the finest public libraries in Florida, that began 40 years ago with a small collection housed in one room over a downtown bank, and today has 50, 000 volumes. The library building on North Osceola Ave. and Sunset Court was presented to the community by Andrew Carnegie in 1916 and was enlarged in 1938. The library is open each week day from 9 A. M. to 8 P. M. except Wednesdays, when it closes at 5 P. M. in winter months and 12:30 P. M. in summer months. In addition to the excellent library, there is the Clearwater Art Museum, which is located in the Chamber of Com - merce Building. This is one of the most active groups in the city. An average of 17 exhibits are shown during the winter season, with an approximate attendance of 21, 000 visitors.

DUNEDIN
Florida's Complete Winter and Summer Residence City, Quickly and Easily Accessible
"THE BEAUTY SPOT OF PINELLAS COUNTY" (Courtesy Dunedin Chamber of Commerce)
Dunedin is primarily a home community, and has an attractive setting facing westward along a three-mile shore line on the waters of St. Joseph's Bay. Edge- water and Victoria drives and Bayshore Boulevard, along the shores of the bay, constitute as beautiful a scenic drive as is to be found anywhere. Families and names of national prominence are among the winter residents who own and occupy homes in this attractive community. The palm -lined avenues, evergreen oaks, camphor and other trees and shrubs, flowering plants and native foliage make a beautiful setting.
The churches, schools, public library, a modern and well-staffed hospital, parks, civic and service clubs, fraternal organizations, a new air-conditioned moving-picture theatre, together with an "all-year" climate, provide for full enjoyment of life both as a winter home and as a permanent residence. All that can be desired for a full life of health and happiness is found in Dunedin.
The Dunedin Shuffleboard Club holds frequent tournaments in City Park, which is located on the shore of the bay, and includes facilities for roque, card games, checkers, horseshoe-pitching, and a tennis court equipped with flood- lights for night play.
The Dunedin municipal water supply is considered one of the best and purest in Florida, and people from miles around bring their water bottles to be filled with this pure water.
Dunedin has perfect natural drainage and sanitation, and is a modern city with every convenience and utility service of the self-contained municipality.
The industrial backbone of Dunedin is furnished by Clinton Foods Inc., which produces not only concentrated citrus juices, shipped all over the world, but manufactures other by-products from the vast supply of citrus fruit from the orange and grapefruit groves that surround Dunedin. Skinner-Moser Manu- facturers is Dunedin's newest industry.
The Municipal Yacht Basin, adjoining the park, is one of the most attractive and safest boat harbors in the state. The Yacht Basin is owned and operated by the City of Dunedin, and offers accommodations to all types of power and sailing craft.
The Dunedin Boat Club sponsors frequent races in the Bay and Gulf. Three miles of shore line represent one of Dunedin's chief assets, with the surround- ing waters providing boating and fishing throughout the year. The waters off Dunedin abound in a variety of kingfish, mackerel, grouper, trout, black bass and many other varieties of salt-water and fresh-water fish that furnish an ever - present interest for the angler.
Dunedin is quickly accessible to any city in Florida, with paved highways and bus lines running north, east and south, and by train is within 24 hours of the principal Northern points. Through and direct train service is provided by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The corporate limits of Dunedin on the south ad- join Clearwater, and Dunedin is 25 miles west of Tampa and 23 miles north of St. Petersburg.
There are four modern and luxurious hotels in Dunedin: The Fenway, the Hotel Dunedin, the Jersey House and the Yacht Club Inn, all operated under owner-management and furnishing the best accommodations for the tourist and visitor.
Houses and apartments, furnished and unfurnished, are available at reason- able prices, and rooms are available in private homes for visitors.
