“WE KEEP SMILING”
British Architects By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, November 22. In reply to a cablegram sent by the New Zealand Institute of Architects, expressing appreciation of the wonderful spirit shown by their comrades in the Homeland, the secretary of the Royal Institute of Architects, wrote on September 17: “We keep smiling. We shall come through all right, and it will not be so long either. One of our properties was badly knocked about last night, and our old building in Conduit Street got it too. The new R.1.8.A. building stands firm. It wobbles a bit when bombs fall near, but being a good steel frame building it does not mind that. It is a case of ‘chins’ and ‘thumbs up.’ We are perfectly, confidently confident.”
