Enrollment at FCC rises as 60 to 65 percent of college bound students attend FCC and local high schools push college prep academies. Holton notes community shifts toward education while state funding based on older enrollment could strain finances amid a large fall increase. Betts describes a smooth first day with long lines and crowded parking as new students locate classrooms.

Cable cut near Thurmont knocks out long distance
About 1,700 C P Telephone customers lost almost all telephone service for over three hours Monday after road workers cut a cable on Albert Staubs Road just north of Thurmont. The outage, from 9 55 a m to 12 55 pm, limited calls to Thurmont's 447 dialing district. Al Boyer, C P Telephone customer relations manager, said he did not know if the workers were state or county. He noted earlier notices and promised repairs, adding fewer complaints than expected perhaps due to good weather. Michael Enright.
