PROTECTING A HOSPITAL

PREPARING FOR THAT "NEXT WAR"

It is intended that the new West- minster Hospital shall be air-raid proof.

The architects, it is learned, have! called into consultation Capt. G Noble, a former war officer and an jengineer. who has made a compre- hensive survey of air-raid precau- Itions in Paris.

Captain Noble has been associat- jed in France with a firm that is specialising in devices for making buildings xas-proof.

He has displayed plans and drawings of windows, shutters and various equipment for making all sorts of buildings safe in war time. None of those things is yet måde in England.
