There is a handsome Rathaus (City
Hall), built in the Gothic style of the
14th century and remodeled in the
style of the Flemish Renaissance at
the end of the 16th century. It is
surmounted by a figure at the top
which Is supposed to be King Sigsmuns
Augustus, of Poland, who ruled in that
land when Danzig was under the Pol
ish regime. The interior of the build
ing is filled with relics of centuries
ago, richly carved paneling and mural
paintings showing the history of the
city. The famous Neptune fountain
Is nearby. It was cast at Augsburg in
1633 and rests on a sandstone base of
the 18th century.
Medieval City
Separated from the Rathaus by a
narrow street is the most interesting
building in the city,' known as the
Artushof or Council of Arthur. This
center effort is offered by the plans
being worked out by the Sharon
Country Church Community Center,
near Farmington, Iowa. It is well to
take a look at what this community
center is doing. They have directors
of domestic science, recreation, chil
dren's play, athletics, gardening and
agriculture, education- and everything
that tends to better living conditions.
Under the direction of Rev. Edward
Roberts, May 2 this spring was set
aside as a special tree planting day, to
be known as "Roosevelt Day." The
exercises connected with the develop
ment of the Sharon Park and play
ground covered a two-day program.
