MEYERS- TEIN,

Seventy- -year-old shy philanthropist who has given more than £300,000 to hospitals, has bought a hill.

He paid £5,000 for it. The hill is at Banstead, Sur-i rey. opposite the one on which stand Banstend Woods, once the home of the banking family of Baring..

Here is the reason for Mr. Meyer- stein's newest known act of generosity.

Princess Elizabeth of York Hospital, now at Shadwell, Enst London, is to move in the main to

a large modern hospital, with wide balconies, klassed-in wards, and sunbathing roofs.

The Baring house will become a nurses' home.
