Planting Trees : For Windbreak Poplar, Larch, Gingko Form Effective Screen - A frequent request 'rom readers 18: "What shall I plant to replace poplar trees which are dying?" The Lombardy poplar was at one lime one of our most popular orna- .. mental trees, due to Its columnar 7 ay form. But it is a short-lived tree, 'and the same effect in. plantings tan be obtained by using the larch or Ginkgo trees. _ : * The larches are deciduous conl- fers (bearing cones) and are ex- ceedingly attractive in the spring, when they put forth soft pale green shoots, Larches can be also planted in large masses for a screen or windbeeak, or as single specimens, and can also be used as accent 'points because of their very stately form. : The Ginkgo {3s exceedingly ple- _turesque and the effect of its up- right branches suggests. tho Lom. bardy poplar.-The leaves of the Ginkgo (fee turn a lovely golden yellow in the autumn.

It is studded with islands and the open- ing of new vistas through chan- nels between the islands as your motor boat skips along to the fish-. ing grounds is a constant delight. crystal and a portage of three-quarters of a mile brings you to Ro¢k Lake, while a drive from the hotel of a mile brings you to Dog Lake. Fishing with a copper line for deep-lying trout will give you fine, cold, six to ten pound lake trout. | If you prefer casting for large- mouth and smallmouth black bass. you can get your fill of them in Dog Lake. It is not difficult to catch all the law allows, but to capture a fine fish on a light rod and have all the sport of it is enough for a decent -apgler. At Gracefield, about 50 miles north of Ottawa, a camp is situ. ated about 12 miles from the town itself, supplying guides, equipment and cabin accommodation. While guests are limited to: 50, the rates are reasonably low and the terri- tory for the use of guests covers more than 70 square miles. Close to the lodge is Whitefish Lake which has produced some of the biggest bass taken this year in the Gatineau District. Other ldkes and streams; while less frequented, also produce pickerel, great nor- thern pike and some lake trout. -_ May your fall fishing trip be a great success! Danzig Status Often Changed By Albert Forster's proclama- tion, Danzig was switched Sept. 1 for the third time in Its history to German rule. . "Tho city was founded by Ger- mans at the bezinning of the 13th century. Eg Until 1308 the city was under the sovereignty of Polish Pomeran- fan dukes, Then for more than 200 years, 1308-1454, it was German. ruled, by Teutonic knights. For more than_300 years, with- out losing its sovereignty, the city was associated in a. personal un- fon 'with the kings of Poland, from + 1453 to 1793. But in the latter part of the 18th century, Poland was partitioned among Germany, Russfi and Aus- tria-Hungary, and Danzig becamo a part of Prussia. This status last- ed but 14 years. Under Polich, French, German Rule In 1807 Danzig became a free city, under French rule. Seven ' years later, in 1814, with tho be- ginning of the collapse of Na- poleon, Danzig returned to Prus- sia and thus remained until the Treaty of Versailles at the end of the World War established it as a free city again. Now it Is German agaln--by proclamation of Forster and its ac- _ ceptance by Hitler--after 18 years, nine months and '15 days. The city was proclaimed free under the League of Nations on November 15, 1920. ' The city Is more than 90 per cent German:populated, a fact ad- mitted by Poles.
