Enemy Won't Give AirRaid Schedule?s

But Here's One for Practice March 18\u25a0 \u25a0

-*

Response to Last Black-out So Poor CompleteProgram Given for Next

Well, it seems that the first testblackout under the new regulationswas so bad that a new one has beenscheduled for Thursday, March 18,throughout this section, and a com-plete schedule of the time set foreach signal and what that signalmeans has been released.

Of course, the only catch is that ifthere is a real Air Raid, the civil-ians who have to do the blacking outwon't have a convenient schedule togo by.

But, according to the official an-nouncement, "because of the widetnisunderstanding of signals" be-fore, the exact schedule is being an-nounced in advance to help every-one become familiar with the sys-tem.

No Lights on SirensJohn M. Howarth, commander,

Citizens Defense Corps, gave thesewarnings:

"The public audible alarm (sirens)ALWAYS MEANS DANGER and nosignal given by the sirens evermeans light up again.

"The All Clear signal will neverbe given by sounding sirens. It willalways be given by turning on streetlights and by announcement overthe radio. Radio all-clears for thissection will be given only on CHAR-LOTTE radios, as Southern Pines isin the Charlotte district.

"A safe rule for householders isTURN OUT or OBSCURE all lightswhen the first siren signal sounds.Keep lights out regardless of fur-ther siren signals. Turn them onagain only when street lights areturned on or when you hear the allclear announced by a Charlotte radiostation."

Blackout Begins at 8:50 P. M.The blackout schedule for Thurs-

day, March 18, is as follows:8:50 p. m. BLUE signal. This is

sounded by sirens in a steady two-minute tone. It means enemy planesare approaching and all lights ex-cept those specifically exemptedmust be extinguished. Traffic contin-ues with lights dimmed. Pedestrianskeep moving to destination or shel-ter. Workers remain on jobs. De-fense Corps members take theirposts.

9:00 p. m. RED signal. This meansplanes overhead. It is sounded bysirens in a quavering or intermittenttone. All lights must be blacked-outexcept authorized emergency lights.Traffic stops. All except DefenseCorps members take shelter.

9:10 p. m. BLUE signal. This issounded by sirens in a steady tone.Planes have passed but may return.Blackout continues same as under

Red Cross is Symbolof Hope and Mercyin War-Torn World

Slruthers Burt ReviewsHistory of Founding bySwiss Citizen, Dunant

IVBY STRUTHERS BURT

Tennyson in his poem, In Memor-iam, has this line, "the mighty hopesthat make us men," and in the GestaRomanorum, 1375, an unknown phil-osopher writes, "If hope were not,heart would break."

It is a long time from 1375; fivehundred and sixty eight years, andin those years rivers of blood haverun, and again and again the humanrace, in weary repetition, has indeedbeen left with little but its eyes toweep with. Cruelty, treachery, lust,rapine, fire, famine, torture haveagain and again swept this smallworld. Think of all the men, and thewomen, and the children, who inthat time have died unnecessarilyand because of their fellow men.Think of that long and dreadful pro-cession. In the old army a divisionwas 32,000 men. In 1918 I saw anAmerican Division, back fromFrance, march up the principalstreet of New York. Only 32,000men, but it took them all day tomarch from Washington Square toCentral Park, and so ever since thenI have had some measuring stick ofwhat statistics of death and suffer-ing mean. A hundred thousand menand women die of starvation; a hun-

t dred thousand men are killed andwounded. Three of the old Divisions,and four thousand human beingsover. I 1

It would take the ghosts threedays to march those short NewYork blocks.

And now once again the EourHorsemen ride in more terrible formthan ever before. No wonder that

[ sometimes even the most courageousask themselves if the human raceever learns anything; if there is anyhope.

Yes, there is lots of hope, and soall good things are worth fightingfor, and dying for, and living for,and going without for. The FourHorsemen ride, but now along withthem rides, and more swiftly, andon a better horse, mercy as well.And some day the Four Horsemenwill cease to ride, and Mercy willride alone.

I suppose every one knows thehistory of the RED CROSS and ina general way what it is, and what itdoes. But it is worth repeating, forin that history lies one example, ofmany, to make secure man's hopeand fortitude. The RED CROSS be-gan with the battle of Solferino in1859 and with a Swiss citizen, Henri

Dunant. Solferino was fought onJune 24th near Lake Garda in nor-thern Italy between the armies ofFranz Joseph of Austria and Na-poleon 111 of France, and of the 310,-000 men involved, 39,000 were killed
