dered Into Action to
Aid Victims.

The Red Cross today modified fa-
cilities for evacuation of flooded cities
and areas stretching from North Caro-
lima to Maine.
National headquarters here ordered
into action most of the members of
its disaster relief staff to rush food,
clothing and medicines to persons liv-
ing along the swollen rivers.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, Red
Cross chairman, suggested immediate
establishment Of q fund to finance
the relief. The District chapter an
nounced at once it would receive con-
tributions marked "for food relief" at
1730 e street.
As new rains threatened to send the
streams raging further across the
countryside, the problems Of saving
lives and relieve distress mounted.
An Army bombing plane was to take
of from Boiling Field this morning
carrying short-wave radio set to
contact Red Cross workers in the
flood distressed area Of Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
Plane Flown From Langley.
The plane was flown here early to-
day from Langley Field, Va. It will
carry an operator from the National
Broadcasting Co., who will transmit to
the radio stations of that chain the
Information he receives from Red
Cross workers in the field.
The Army said the flight was being
undertaken solely to supply informa-
ton to the Red Cross.
Mrs. Margaret Lewis, Maryland
field representative Of the Red Cross,
who supervised relief six weeks ago
for ice-bound Tangier Island, tele-
phoned from Hancock, Md, this
morning she had found 1t impossible
to enter Cumberland.
She said she made futile attempts
all night to reach Maryland's second
largest city, near the headwaters Of
the Potomac, from Hagerstown and
other points, but hoped she could find
her way in from Hancock.

Fifteen Marooned In Building.
The power plant of the Potomac
Edison Co., at Williamsport, which
supplies electric current to Hagerstown
and contiguous territory, went out of
commission about II o'clock this
morning after being completely sur
rounded by the raging waters. Fiji
teen employees are understood to be
rnarooned in the building. Efforts 70
rescue them have been futile because
OF the strong current. .-
The closing Of the power plant has
seriously threatened the water supply
OF Hagerstown and other nearby COM
munities because Of the inability to
operate the water pumps at a normal
rate. City oficials of Hagerstown are
planning to put the city on water
rationS until sufficient current Is pro-
vided to operate the pumps on a full
time basis.
More than 30 families were rescued
durin gthe night from the loW-lying
sections of Williamsport. The waters
rose SO rapidly that many of the
families were trapped in their homes
and unable to remove personal belong
ings.
Mrs. Margaret Lewis, Maryland field
director of the American Red Cross,
revealed that relief workers have been
stationed throughout the flooded area
but an effort to get aid to Cumber-
land has been unsuccessful. Mrs.
Lewis left. Washington this morning
and made a futile attempt to reach
Cumberland, but was turned back at
Hancock because of the flooded con-
ditien and has established headquar-
ters in Hagerstown. Relief activities
will be directed from that point.
Fear Over Flood Fatal.
Mrs Lewis said reports to her failed
to reveal any loss of life throughout
the flooded sections of the Upper

food. She said, however, that one

Second, choose a model--your popular friend Mar gie, for instance. Let her beaming smile and warm interest in people be your inspiration. Third, learn to do some one thing exceptionally we'll such as baking the best apple pie in the neighborhood.
