As one visits these modern institutions and becomes familiar with their vari- ous up-to-date appointments and then compares them with the average small hospital which serves a community such as ours, one is very envious' of the people who have at their door, so to• speak, the facilities of these splendidly built and equipped hospitals. One of the things that impressed me was the fire-proof construction. The outer walls were for the .most part brick and tile, the floors cement with a traazza finish, the inner walls brick or other fire-proof material, with metal or asbestos lath, and a coating o f specially treated hard wall plaster, The door frames, in many cases, were metal 'and fire doors :between old and new parts of the buildings gave an added fire protection: In 'the halls of some of these fine buildings Was laid a heavy linoleum to ease the task of those who serve the sick and to lessen the noise as does the sound-proofing on some ceil- ings. Most of these hospitals had a • very modern nursery and one could stand in the hall and view the babies through glags windows.

John' T. • Brooks Pte. John T. Brooks of Lower Wingham, son of Mrs. Clarence Brooks, arrived in London ,Tuesday noon, He has come back from over- seas on the Duchess of Bedford landing at Halifax. John enlisted in the Perth Regiment in May, 1940, and proceeded overseas with that unit in October, 1941. When the regiment went to Italy in November 1943 he was still on the strength. That regi- ment took part in the storming of the Hitler line and he was wounded at that time. After a fewmonths' in hospital and convalescent camps, h e returned to the Perths. In February this year just prior to the regiment leaving Italy for the Western Europ- can front, John was stricken with diphtheria and was left in hospital there. He later went to England to be repatriated. His brother, Robert, is overseas with the Occupation Forces, at pres- ent stationed in Holland. Major Thomas L.
