that If 1t were proposed to develop

an officer of tho Army had told him
that somebody ought to be shot" in

THE RED CROSS
STILL DESIRES FUNDS
Announcement In Baltimore Paper
Does Not Affect Anne Arundel
County. Saws President

A short time ago an announcement
appeared in the Baltimore newspapers
to the effect that further raising of
funds in the immediate future was not
desired in the Red Cross work in Bal
timore City.
1t seems that this has given rise to
some misunderstanding in the coun-
ties, and in order to make the situa-
ton perfectly plain in Annapolis and
Anne Arundel County, the chairman
of the local Chapter has stated that
the announcement above referred to
applies only to Baltimore City.
AS to this county, all duly author
lied activities for Red Cross funds are
desired and encouraged. 1t is point
ed out, however, that these activities,
whether in the form of entertainments
or personal solicitation, must come di-
rectly and solely from the authority
of the Red Cross organization, which
in this country is represented by the
Chapter and its various duly organized
and recognized auxiliaries.

than Mr. Holiday. Possessed of q
level head and fine business judgment,
he also has a spirit that is as gentle
and sympathetic.
such a combiation of qualities is
precisely what was needed to put the
recreation work upon a solid, prac-
teal basis. and al the same time give
il the tone and color which would sat
isfy the yearning of the men for a
touch of hcme and understanding.
This work has been only a part OF
what Mr.. Holiday has done Accord
ing to other war workers, he has been
most generous in all ways. But if he
had done nothing else. his work at
the head OF the recreation committee
would have been sufficient TO have
earned him public gratitude.
To understand what this recreation
service has meant. il must be under
stood that there are always a great
many men in uniform about Annapo-
lis-sailors, marines and soldiers
There has been no place in the town
where these men might go for enter
tainmnt except the movies and that
sort of thing. And single men in
barracks" are likely to get into a good
deal of mischief, as Kipling suggested
defensively in writing about some of
their "how-de-does" This situation
has been met very admirably by the
recreation work, conducted in the
. Sc oil
that some time ago, when a consider
| able body of men were at work across
the Severn, the commanding officer
marched them to the recreation rooms
at the close of each day, turned them
loose there for several hours and then
| assembled them again and marched
them them back to their quarters. The
recreation rooms did for those men
what the elaborate social establish
ments have done for the draftees.
Baths, billiards. writing rooms, some
thing different to eat, social contact
with good people ~ such have been
among the provisions made.
Mr. Holiday says that the utmost
had been done for the men by a large

munity Governor Harrington gave
the use of the armory for the recrea-
ton work and he and Mrs. Harrington
have followed it closely and sympa-
thetically at all times. There are sew

selves to different parts of the work
There also is a sort of central com

GIVE TIE FIREMEN A REST

Another safe and sane Fourth OF

urged that there be no firing of explo-

from to buildings and homes. Give
the firemen rest for once on the Ma
tons Birthday.
They have worried over the July
Fourth risks ever since they were on
the job.
With so much real sorrow coming,
it is not necessary to play war by kill
ing OF or manning any of the children
with toy pistols or giant fire crack
ers. Patriotism can be equally well
displayed by working in the garden,
buying Thrift and War Savings
Stamps, and the like.
