FRICID WEATHER
 HERALDS WARNING
Frozen Water Pipes Costly Experiences; Shut Offs
 in Tenantless Homes

With a winter season of probable very frigid weather at hand as well as the season when many Connecti- cut residents take vacations to sun- nier climes, officials of the States public water supply systems are warning customers to take precau- tion against the freezing of water pipes, should they close their homes for such vacations or even leave them without heat for holiday of a few days. There is only one cer- tain method of avoiding frozen pipes and their resultant damage, officials say, and that is to shut off the water supply at the main outlet and drain all water from the pipe system before the house is left without heat.
 In a closed dwelling where the heating plant is shut dwon and where the above precaution is not taken, a sudden cold snap is almost certain to result in frozen water pipes and plumbing billie. This is es- pecially true in the New England climate where moderate tempera- lures, giving the impression that precautions are unnecessary. are
 more than likely to be followed sud- denly by spell of exceedingly frig- i'd weather. Even in heated buildings freezing may result if the basement is cold.
 Frozen pipes are not only likely to burst, but to ruin the entire water system. In case the water supply is not turned off when a house is left cold and the freezing of pipes does take place, the employment of am- ateur methods to correct the situa- ton should be avoided, company of- ficials warn. It is best to call an ex- pert plumber rather than to attempt various remedier which may be sug- gested for applying hea to the pipes to thaw them out. Applying such heat with candles or torches, for i1- stance, may not only result in fur ther injury to the piping system, but may involve the more serious danger of fire. All dangers may be avoided by making certain that no water is in the pipes of a dwelling
 that is to be left unheated even for short period of time.

BRITAIN WIDENS
 AERIAL DEFENSE
Hospitals to Make Build. ings Gas-PrOOf to Pro-
 tect Patients

London (U.P.)-At a cost of many thousands of dollars, British hospi- tals are preparing schemes for the protection of patients in the event of air raids and to make the build- mgs gaS-proof.
 Arrangements of voluntary hos pitals throughout the country were invited to 8 meeting, which was ad- dressed by officials of the Air Raida Precautions Department.
 London hospitals are already tack ling a problem made difficult by the fact that they have 45,000 patients and staffs of 10000. When com pleted, the new $4,250,000 Westmin- ster Hospital will be Britain's rst gas-proof hospital. Architects plans provide for a covered road wide enough for two lines of traffic and footpaths passing through the building, double air-lock doors at both ends so that ambulances with afraid casualties can enter without allowing the penetration of gas strong roofs to resist light bombs and air-conditioning in the wards and non-splinterable windows.
 The design of existing hospitals is probably the worst possible for safety in an air attack" Wing Commander E. Hodsoll, of the Air Raid Precautions Department, de- clared. "The new Westminster Hos- pital has been designed after con- sultation with the Air Raid Precau- tions Department.
 The department would like to see all new hospitals designed on sim liar lines. In the event of g threat ened air attack all patients that could be moved would be taken from London hospitals to the country That would give greater accomn1o- dation for afraid casualties"
