The Storm.

The storm which came with more
than ordinary violence and struck this
section of country on last Saturday
brought with it snow and below-zero
weather which fingered until Tuesday
afternoon when the mercury reached
10 or more above. The lowest point
reached was on Sunday morning when
the Government reading at Weber S
was nine below. On Monday the high
est point reached four above with a
stiff wind prevailing the entire day un-
til along toward evening when the
gentle zephyrs ceased to blow and re-
lief was in sight as result. The storm
and cold played havoc with water pipes
in every section of town and plumbers
have been and are yet quite busy re-
pairing the resultant damage. Roads in
every section became blocked with
the snow, but the main arteries were
opened Tuesday by the residents living
along them. One feature of the storm
was that while Deer Park had pranti-
cally no gas with Mountain Lake Park
and Loeb Lynn Heights little better off,
Oakland, did not suffer for the lack of
this staple.

Protest Against Appoint
ment of Robert Grain

WHEREAS, Mr.. Robert Grain, At
torney for the National Brewers As
ISOLATION, has been appointed director
of the War Sayings Fund Campaign for
Maryland, and
WHEREAS, This work will require the
support and cooperation of the minist-
ers, Sunday Schools and different
church organizations of the state and,
since there is at the present time a
campaign being waged in the state and
nation for the prohibition of the liquor
traffic, be it therefore
RESOLVED, That the Headquarters
Committee of the Anti Saloon League
Secretary McAdoo and Frank A. Wand
erslip against the appointment of Mr..
Grain for the reason that he stands
Numerically opposite of those upon
whom he must depend sfor success to
the Thrift Movement as evidenced by
the fact that for number of years Mr..
Grain has been the Attorney and rec
ognized lobbyist of the liquor interest
of the state and nation which today is
wasting foodstuffs in the manufacturer
of intoxicating liquors.
We further submit that an appeal
from the Brewers Attorney to the
children to save their pennies would not
be so we'll received as if it came from a
business which had been far to the
childhood of the country.
We further protest against the ap-
pointment of the Attorney of the
Brewers Association tor this peculiar
kind of work at this time.
If you think it unfair to place the at
torney and representative of the
brewers in position of prestige which
can be used to the advantage of the
saloon write Hon. William G. McAdoo,
Washington, D. G. and protest against
the appointment of Robert Grain.

to preach Red Cross Christmas sermons
on December 16. Heads of colleges and
schools are expected to arouse the in
terest of students and pupils to work
for the greater Red Cross at the close
of the term preceding the holidays.
Throughout the country local and group
organizations will devise campaign feat
ures of their own in great variety. Var
lous phases of the drive will follow
each other in quick succession from
December II until the chimes on Christ
mas Eve ring the end of the campaign.
A particularly nOteworthyfeature of
the campaign will be the placing of
transparent Red Cross service flags in
the windows OF homes throughout the
country. The display of this flag bear
ing the Red Cross emblem, will mean
that person in that home is a Red
Cross member. Space will be provided
on the white field of the flag for addl-
tional emblems to indicate the number
of members of the household who have
Joined the Red Cross. Stores, banks,
manufacturing plants, etc., will be en-
couraged to display emblems to indi-
cate the full Red Cross membership in
the respective establishments.
Plans have been perfected to make
the Christmas Eve ceremonies a fitting
climax of the patriotic campaign. At
7.30 O'Clock on the night before Christ
mas it is proposed that lighted candle
shall be placed behind the transparent
flag in the window of every Red Cross
home. Local chapters will strive to see
that this idea is carried into effect.
The candles are to burn until 8 O'Clock
and at half-hour intervals during the
evening church bells are to be rung to
lend impressiveness to the Red Cross
ceremony. During the same hours
groups of Red Cross workers in every
community will march through different
neighborhoods singing carols in further
acclaim of the spirit of the Red Cross
Christmas.
The Red Cross needs the active sup
port Of millions " hose good will it al
ready has. The big Christmas member
ship drive was conceived in and will be
carried cut largely FOR the purpose of
turning passive friends into active
workers. And it was d peculiarly happy
thought that gave expression to the
idea Of making this a "Red Cross
Christmas. twill be a Christmas of
serious purpose, when the minds of
every one will be turned to the war, to
our soldiers in France ard in training
camps waiting orders to cross the sea,
and to cur sailors and marines,
Thought, too, VIII rest on the soldiers
Of cur allies and on the suffering peo-
pies in the war zones. That the nation
will be in just the spirit at this Christ
mas time to produce a whole-hearted
response TO the Red Cross appeal Is not
doubted.
AT the conclusion of the Red Cross
membership drive there will not be any
excuse Tor any one not haying become
a member. There are hundreds of
thousands of persons whose names are
not on the Red Cross roll merely by
reason Of their own thoughtlessness.
All these Will have the chance and be
reminded of their patriotic duty to join
the Red Cross. In the words of Presi-
dent Wilson, the people as a whole will
be afforded opportunity to show the
Christmas spirit in terms of action.
