(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
The New South Wales Government has decided that air raid shelters must be provided without delay in all buildings where more than thirty persons work or live. The removal of patients from Hospitals in Sydney will begin this week. About three-quarters of the patients will be moved, some to their homes and others to hospitals in other parts of the State. This will make beds available if there should be an air raid. The Federal Government has asked the States not to impose a full blackout yet, but to be ready foi one. The digging of trench shelters m the parks and on vacant allotments will begin today. . The first complete blackout m Australia was enforced last night, along a strip of the Victorian coast.. This area includes some popular seaside resorts. The blackout will continue indefinitely!
