Over a period of five days the water in these is made increasingly saline until the fish can be transferred to the pure sea water in the paddling pool.

After a fortnight here they will be taken three or four miles out to sea to avoid the diluted coastal water in a launch and released. Each fish is marked with a plastic tag so that if, as is hoped, any of the fish do return to spawn another year the board may get to know about it Judging by the look of the fish in the paddling' pool the results are already striking. In the course of the five days the fish have adapted themselves in several ways for their period of sea-feeding an unusual sign of self-confidence in a kelt. In colour the salmon look as silvery as hake and the sea trout look rather like whiting. The salmon kelts have changed their haggard, after-spawning appearance to something more robust and lively.

Very few have died. Digestive changes The board's fishery officer. Mr L. Stewart, who has dissected one or two of these flsh, says that there seem to be changes in their digestive systems as though they were preparing for another feeding cycle and, more remarkable, there is a development of new ovaries in the hen salmon. He has not observed this before, he says, in a kelt which has had to fend for itself.

His theory, which he hopes fishery scientists will soon investigate more thoroughly, is that the majority of kelts can be saved for another spawning if only, as here, they are saved the rigours of the down-river journey and the shock of meeting salt water when they reach the sea. The experiment is part of a large river-restocking programme which the board is now undertaking in conjunction with local angling associations. The spawn removed from the fish. now at Morecambe is being cultivated in the hatcheries and the salmon fry produced will be distributed to rivers and streams in the board's area. fdurid'ravacantV-yY'i taken- an-imihediate iriter-estfin ttheji "few couple's.

At time at an art MORECAMBE, WEDNESDAY. In -the children's 1 sea-water paddling pool on Morecambe Promenade, deserted for the season by its young' patrons, about' 230 salmon and sea trout now swim at their ease. The fish, which are the subject of an original experiment being conducted' by the Lancashire River Board, are in a condition which very few fishermen will ever have seen or-would recognise. Barely a week ago most of these fish were swimming in the upper reaches of rivers and streams in Westmorland, preparing to spawn. They were entirely fresh-water creatures in physique, colouring, and behaviour.

At that point the river board stepped in and in the few days since that time the fish in the paddling pool have been rushed through experiences which usually take many months of their life cycle and, in fact, usually leave them dead. Having been' taken from the river and milked of their spawn by the board's fishery experts the fish were put into tanks and transported by lorry to Morecambe paddling pool, the last stage before their -release in the sea. This meant that the fish, travelling in comfort at (let us say) 30 miles an hour, completed their journey back to the coast in the record time of an hour or so. Normally the journey down river is a desperate, five-month struggle for a creature which has already spent its strength in the spawning effort. Few survivors Readers of "Salar, the Salmon" will recall the details.

Only asmall fraction of these kelts, as spent fish called, reach the sea alive some estimates say only 2 per cent of them. The facilities which the, board now offers its kelts in -the way of taxi-cab service to the coast with sea-adjust-. merit therapy to follow at Morecambe paddling pool is intended to keep them alive so that they will return and spawn another day. so improving fish stocks. BETTER TOWNS WITH TREES A practical guide A practical guide to the use of trees in town planning is published to-day by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government.

"Trees in Town and City" (Stationery Office, 7s 6d deals-with the planting and conservation of trees to improve existing districts, to form a part of future development, and to hide the uglier urban and industrial necessities. Mr. Henry Brooke, the Minister, writes in a foreword Hardly a street could riot be improved, if someone would" give thought to planting the right trees in the right places." The authors of the book maintain that in the long run the use made of trees in towns depends on active and widespread local interest, and continue To be effective, such interest must be based on knowledge and foresight. It is much easier to appreciate trees that are already fully grown than to envisage. ibetors sdaoting the will be taken ud in thirty to fifty years' time, and the problems that may then arise in garden or street.

The object of this book' is to stimulate observation and to try to make people's natural affection for trees to be more thoughtful and belter informed." In planning future development, says the book, it can happen that trees are passed over as being everybody's and therefore nobody's responsibility. The impression of maturity which trees, even in the wrong position and poorly grown, can give to a new is worth having. Local authorities are recommended to encourage private developers to provide grass and trees, because better landscaping implies higher rateable value and contributes to the character of a town. Nor are trees which get in the way of redevelopment necessarily doomed, for quite large trees can now be transplanted. Many advantages A lot of street "furniture" must remain unobscured by trees, but they can 'be used to mask the rear of buildings, to make car-parks more attractive, and to protect residents from traffic noise and the glare, of headlamps'.

They can be planttyf to screen industrial sites where the sites'are too big for trees to hide them, the trees can be planted instead close to the places from which the sites would be viewed. Trees can be planted to hide derelict ground, and. to help in its reclamation. The book gives advice on how to choose and plant trees, and how to look after them. It also contains a list of the trees suitable for urban planting, together with, their characteristics.

THE' QUEEN MOTHER VISITS LLOYD'S Greeted by the Lutine bell The Lutine bell rang' twice at Lloyds yesterday as a traditional signal of good news when Elizabeth the Queen Mother paid a visit and lunched with the chairman and members of the committee. For more than half an she walked round the floor and the gallery of the underwriting room, and stopped at many of the desks to chat with brokers, underwriters, and clerks. In the writing room the Queen Mother saw the Lutine chair and table made from the rudder of the famous ship.

Not soon forgotten was the sight of a 40ft. monster thrashing about while waiting for tide room lust across from the Ffon Tom stile giving access lo the estuary embankment from the Junction-Llandudno main road. But the spice of this cetaceous invasion was the receipt by a newspaper reporter on his arrival home of a "tip-off" telephone message which an excited member of his family, both biologically and historically mixed up, had written down: "The Prince of Wales has been washed ashore at Deganwy."

L. One of the smaller colleges. St Edmund Hall has been advancing by leaps and bounds (in more senses than one) in recent years, and only last season their fifteen won the inter-college cup for the third j-ear in succession. Since about the end of the last war, says a recent chronicler Oxford, it has become commoner and commoner to speak of "Pot Hall" instead of Teddy Hall a crudity which before 1939 was scarcely heard. LONDON'S MIXED EXHIBITIONS A time for discovery By Frederick Laws This is a time of mixed exhibitions when galleries whose style and taste are normally rigid show pictures which do not quite fit their formula.

The cunning and brave collector has a chance of finding good but untypical works by modern or ancient artists in early December. "Recent acquisitions" at Tooth's, 31 Bruton -Street. London W. 1, is a pleasantly odd lot. "A Midnight Modern Conversation" by Hogarth is a picture to see before it goes overseas.

In literary purpose it is a mixture o( moral disapproval of drinking among the respectabie classes and private insult As painting the composition is somewhat rambling, and only the odd face. wig. or pipe is as interesting as one would have expected from Hogarth. A Breton landscape of Gauguin is mostly of historical importance and an early Roualt lacks tension. But a panel of a Bonnard screen called La Promenade very attractive: there is a good Leda by Dufy and an excellent Vuillard.

The Wildenstein Gallery. 147 New Bond Street, is showing Some contemporary British painters eight of them, all respectable. The quality of Allan Gwynne-Jones's portraits is weil recognised and Clifford Hall's quiet talent matures well. Of the newer arrivals Brian Roxby's sensitive landscapes show considerable promise On the fourth floor of the Galeries Lafayette shop in Regent Street a minor French salon can be seen called Les grands et les jeunes d'aujourdhui." The worst pictures here are much worse than would be accepted by the saddest of our Erofessional societies of artists. Cele-rated names are present, but the Picasso is a dull trifle, the Cocteau does not matter, and the Survages are below his normal standard.

enough a Bernard Buffet is more than merely clever. On the strength of this show the school of Paris would seem to be in a poor way. But there are paintings with some life in them by Yankel Guiramand. Chapelain Midy. and Micha Wilatch.

"MINISTRY GRANT FOR RING ROAD 290,000 for Coventry By our own Reporter About three-quarters of the cost of constructing the second section of the Coventry Inner Ring Road, estimated at 396,000, is be met by a cra'nt from the Ministry of Transport and Civii Aviation. The grant to Coventry City Council is for nearly 290,000. The second section of the road, 480 yards long, will extend from Swans-well Terrace to Hill Cross and will include roundabouts at each end, with two carriageways 24 feet in width, two cycle tracks 12 feet across, and two footpaths 8 feet wide. The inner ring road will take traffic' round Coventry's new, main shopping and civic centre. Even before the road is completed the second section is expected to ease the flow of traffic on the north side of the city.

The work of demolishing property on the first section is going ahead with the help of a grant made a year ago. MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL ThunAn. a.m.: HoJy Communion. II Miti-tni. 5 30 p.m.: Evensong; Anthem.

Lord, look down from bejten ways to make a people feel their faith in the traditions they nave. On this point I would give A-plus to the British." Other points which impressed the Vice-President and Mrs Nixon in England were British politeness, respect for privacy in pubs," and the restraint shown by British university students compared with their American counterparts. Of his visit to a "pub," Mr Nixon had this to say: "Everybody, there knew who I was you cannot disguise this profile of mine but such is the British respect for privacy that no one tried to talk to us." He also had a good word to say about the British press. I was amazed at the circulations of your newspapers. British photographers are much more polite than American photographers.

I think they would be shocked if they came over here and saw how our photographers order everyone around. Reporters in putting their questions at a press conference use a more subtle approach than the American newsman, who sometimes feels that the way to get an answer is to insult vou." Reuter. MANCHESTER THEATRES, ETC. Rudolf Kemp Last night's Halle Concert in the Free Trade Hall was conducted by Rudolf Kempe, who. without" a suggestion of mannerism or prima donna-ish display, inspired the orchestra to give performances of rare, cultured poise and splendour.

This was musician delight indeed, and, though groundlings with a taste for ginger hot th' mouth might at first have experienced a measure of chill to their expectations, they must surely, by the end of the evening, have been converted to a belief in sheer 1 musical integrity as a means of conveying delight and as a cardinal principle of interpretation. Mr Kempe's rapid moulding of -the orchestra to his wishes, and his magnificent control of the playing rigid but never unimaginative were alike extraordinary. That the Halle players were willingly submissive to his will was quite evident they were as unanimous in their acclamation as the audience, which was regrettably sparse in consequence of discouraging weather. For those" of us lucky enough to be present, however, there was ample compensation for the blanketing of the city by fog in the amazing clarity of the orchestral tissue. Mr Kempe rearranged the players in a formation different from that of recent decades, but this in itself had.

the slightest bearing on his command of balance' of sonorities and beautifully directed interplay of component parts. If it is the critic's business, as I believe it is, to discuss ideal qualities rather than technical means to their attainment, one can only plead that in the case of a musician of Kempe's stature the two are one and indivisible. He reveals the thought of the composer, not by interposing a rabidly personal conception between the music and the listener, but by reproducing the score in performance not indeed literally or mechanically, but with the insight of a fine musician.

We did many things that were right, but yet the people said to us This may be all very well, but we are Greeks and we want to be united with the Deoole of our own And therefore, instead of gratitude and attachment, a condition of things most disgraceful and painful arose in the island."

Hell Fire for tourists Mr Kenneth Besson. a Dublin hotelier, has chosen an art site for the casino which he hopes to establish in the new year a spot in the Dublin mountains, quite near the rums of the Hell Fire Club. It was here that the Irish version of ihe Reeeiicv buck entered into sDirited and spiritual comoetnion with his Medmenham contemooranes in the gentle art of theurgy. Apart from its occult connotations, the club was the scene of much orodigious gambling and of preposterous wagers by gentlemen no aspired to the highest fon. It was here, legend has it.

that Buck Whaley made his wager lo repair to Jerusalem, Dlav handball aeainst its walls, and return within the twelvemonth." In which venture he reportedly succeeded. A matter of 2 millions is available to finance the venture, and all that is necessary to ensure success is a slight adiustment in the Republic's gambling laws. We have," Mr Besson savs. a potential clientele of-55 million on our doorsteo. The British neoDle would love to have a casino, but I doubt if they ever will.

For this reason we should vastly increase our tourist potential." The casino would also have a concert hall: banqueting suite, swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, and "a small night club." But alas, for Buck Whaley's twentieth-century countrymen. Mr Besson made it clear that the casino "would be administered bv the Irish Government and run for the benefit of the country." It would be purely for visitors and a restriction would be placed on admission bv local Deonle.
