Frederick County Medical Society Pushes County Lab Plant
The Frederick County Medical Society urged the State Department of Health to set up a fulltime Frederick County laboratory during its Catoctin Country Club meeting. Attendance included H. M. Ash and C. Conley among other physicians. A fish ladder absence near Carroll Creek dam prompted local officials to consider compliance, after youngsters were caught by the dam. Work began on a 100 by 32 feet addition to Frederick Tailoring Co. Inc. on East Fourth Street, tied to the firm’s May 13 anniversary. A six member Fair Housing Commission was named by Mayor Derr under the Open Housing Ordinance. The William D. Bowers Lumber Co. celebrated its 100th anniversary with a three day sale. A hijacked tractor trailer from Rochester, N.Y. was found with $21,500 cargo of frozen shrimp missing after the driver fell prey to an offered drink. Two 10 year old boys displayed a 162 pound carp from Carroll Creek.
