PROTECT
HOSPITAL
Precautions
Against
War
Exigencies
Discussed
Last
Night.
Blacking
out
of
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
and
steps
which
would
be
taken
In
regard
to
the
hospital
in
the
event
of
its
being
bombed
or
having
to
meet
with
an
emergency
situation
arising
out
of
war
action
were
matters
which
came
up
for
attention
at
the
reg
ular
monthly
meeting
last
night
of
the
board
of
directors
of
ths
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital.
The
whole
matter
was
brought
up
by
G.
P.
Tinker
who
suggested
that
Immediate
steps
should
be
taken
to
meet
with
the
program
of
the
local
A.RP.
organization.
What
was
done
within
the
hospital
itself
was
the
hospital's
responsibility
and
not
the
AJtP.'s.
There
should
be
no
delay
In
organizing
against
a
possible
emergency.
Dr.
R.
G.
Large
presented
an
estimate
of
$424
to
equip
the
hospital
with
blackout
frames
throughout.
Miss
Mary
Fraser,
the
lady
superintendent,
advised
that
the
blackout
equipment
be
such
that
it
could
be
put
In
place
with
a
minimum
of
delay.
Whether
frames
or
blinds
would
be
the
most
advantageous
was
discussed
and
there
was
also
a
suggestion
ot
hinged
shutters.
It
was
left
to
the
house
committee
with
power
to
act
to
carry
out
necessary
blackout
arrangements.
The
discussion
led
up
to
reference
as
to
how
patients
would
be
evacuated
in
the
event
ot
the
hos
pltal
Itself
being
damaged
and
what
preparations
should
be
made
to
meet
a
sudden
Influx
ot
patients
In
the
event
of
disaster.
It
was
disclosed
that
a
suggestion
had
been
made
that
emergency
operating
room
facilities
be
established
in
the
basement
of
the
hospital
and
also
that
the
A.R.P,
was
working
on
plans
for
emergency
atlhospltal
accommodation
elsewhere
should
such
be
required.
