Procedure
I had just relieved a CPC at Ground Control. I was briefed that Runway 32 was active; and that Ground owned no runways. A PA32 was taxiing northwest on Taxiway Delta to taxi to the ramp via Delta and Golf. Aircraft X called from the ramp to taxi to the active. I issued 'Runway 32; taxi via Golf 5; Runway 19; and Delta'. Tower was rolling Aircraft Y on Runway 01. Aircraft Y rotated approximately 1;200 FT down Runway 01 (a little past G2 Intersection). Tower called out that he was rolling Runway 01; I said 'stop him'; but it was too late; so I stopped Aircraft X. Aircraft X stopped with the nose-wheel past the runway edge line; and the mains just short of the line. Golf 5 Intersection is 4;400 FT down the runway.We have runway ownership strips that are kept at the position that owns the runway; as per the SOP. For myself; the absence of the strip is not an attention getter. Years ago; before we were required to have the runway ownership strips; controllers would place a strip vertically across the bay as a flag to remind themselves that they don't own the runway. If it were required to place a strip across the bay; then the controller I was reliving would have done so. So even though I completely forgot that I did not own Runway 01; the sight of the strip vertically across the bay would have jarred my memory.I would recommend that the SOP be amended to require a positive memory aid; like a strip vertically across the bay. I find the runway ownership strip useless. The absence of the strip at the position is not an attention getter. We worked for decades without them; with no problem. Since they are mandated by national order; we are stuck with them; unless that changes. They don't do any harm; nor do they do any good in my opinion. Other memory aids such as 'RUNWAY CLOSED' is a positive flag that is hard to miss.
FRG Ground Controller issues crossing instructions while departure is rolling down the runway. Ground doesn't realize he doesn't own the runway. Memory Joggers were available to show who owned the runways; but not used.
