NAACP Leader Attacks Frederick Politics At King Day Service
NAACP President Lord D. Nickens used a King Day memorial at Quinn AME Church to denounce Frederick County and City officials over a planned county jail site in the Sagner neighborhood and a rejected traffic light. He urged voter registration to effect change, while local pastors urged continued action and remembrance of Dr. King. The event, marking the 10th anniversary of King's death, featured readings by visiting pastors and a choirs performance, with community members from black and white groups attending.

Commission urges overhaul of military retirement plan
A presidential commission urged replacing the 20 year retirement system with a 30 year plan to save about 10 billion annually, though current personnel keep 20 year rights. The report, given to President Carter, cites fairness and long term savings, proposing legislation this summer with minor dissent from Gen. Benjamin O. Davis.

Few major issues remain on Maryland’s 1978 session
On the final day in Annapolis the Maryland General Assembly kept a light agenda with big items largely resolved. The Senate approved an 890 bed prison for Fort Armistead Park, reversing last year’s Continental Can site plan, while a pension revision and conflict of interest bill faced House amendments before reconciling with the Senate. The contested ethics bill would allow gifts up to 75 dollars, drawing criticism from reform groups who fear legalized graft.

Sugarloaf Mountain Fire Contained After 100 Acre Blaze
More than 150 firefighters tackled a Sunday blaze on Sugarloaf Mountain in southern Frederick County. The roughly 100 acre fire burned up the west slope to the crest before shifting winds helped push it back downslope. Firefighters from Frederick and Montgomery counties hiked in as four wheelers could not reach all areas. A few responders were treated for minor injuries.
