MORRISON SHELTER
UTILITY DEMONSTRATED IN BRITAIN. PEOPLE RESCUED FROM BOMBED HOUSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 4. The new indoor shelter, called the Morrison shelter, successfully passed a gruelling test during a raid on the Merseyside. A bomb directly hit a house which collapsed, also an adjoining house. There was a Morrison shelter on the ground floor of each house and ruins fell on them, but four adults and two children in the shelters were all rescued, three being only slightly injured. The shelters easily withstood the full weight of the houses.
