teaspoons salt to each jar and
fill with tomato juice or boiling
water to within 1-2 inch of top.

neishborhood and not merely of the
wardens.
Clashes in authority between war
dens and auxiliary police during test
blackouts have occurred, some war
dens report, but the defense director
said that the duties assigned to each
have been clearly outlined.
1t is one duty Of the warden in
a blackout ito advise, admonish and
instruct" citizens, he said. If, how
ever, cooperation in screening lights
Is not forthcoming. 1t then becomes
necessary for the warden to contact
a member of the police force, either
regular or auxiliary.
Afraid wardens cannot. because
of District regulations now in effect,
be delegated any police powers, Col.
Bolles pointed out. During an actual
raid, however, both wardens and
members of the auxiliary police
force have authority to enter and
extinguish lights violating the black

Red Cross Makes Appeal
lin Verse Over WMAL

The strong appeal of, the Red
Cross during wartime was voiced
last night in the poem. Red Cross
Calling" presented over Radio Sta
ton WMAL.
The poem, written by Mrs. Eliza
beth Noyes Hempstone, chairman of
volunteer service of the Annapolis
and Anne Arundel County MD
Red Cross Chapter, was read by Mrs.
Isobel White, a member of the Red
Cross staff. 3
Representing the voice of the Red
Cross, the poem says at one point:
In time of war I am on the very
battlefield
Before the smoke clears from the
mouth OF the cannon
Or the sound from the explosion Of
the bomb.
Before the blood has dried on
wounds fresh made 3
Before the tears have dried In an
guished eyes
am there--to bind, to minister. to
carry away" :
1t goes on to add, however:
"But after all what can do? Z
OF myself can do nothing, have
no power:
1t Is to you I must appeal-to you,
and you, and you.
So I come before you with OUT
stretched hands, =
Asking for funds to carry on,
To purchase food, medicine, band
ages and ambulances.
Your membership at Roll Call
Will prove your trust in me-"
