Maryland Letter to Gorby on Glasnost and Maryland Charm
A draft letter from Don to Mikhail Gorbachev offers Maryland style glasnost as a model. It invites a visit to Annapolis, describes Maryland’s openness, press conferences, and mixing with the public, and jokes about Chernobyl and Baltimore culture. The tone is humorous and advisory, reflecting Cold War era satire.

Frederick County Flood Prospects and Local Road Funding
Fifty years past reports show low flood risk in Frederick County rivers as two inches of rain fell since Saturday night. The text recalls the 1933 flood impact with Monocacy River inundation, meadow flooding, camp houses washed away, and main routes into Frederick shut. Arrangements were made for a Frederick High School Alumni Band concert in Baker Park directed by S Fenton Harris, a repeat of February’s performance. The State Roads Commission warned that gasoline tax diversion and 1937 legislature non-appropriation hinder maintenance funding. The state covered 20 feet of Market and Patrick streets while the city maintained the remaining width. Potential brick replacement on East Patrick Street remained uncertain.

Rain falls flood lines rise as Monocacy swells in Frederick County
In Frederick County 2.27 inches of rain drenched the area in a day and a half. The Monocacy River rose to five feet above normal and reservoirs and ponds filled, with water levels still climbing. Two junior high schools at Governor Thomas Johnson High School will be merged into one, a plan aimed at personalizing instruction but criticized for crowding and awkward coordination. A 94 acre tract between Myersville and Wolfsville was bought by a Roman Catholic order for a priest summer retreat, priced at 38000 dollars. An old house sits on the site and no remodeling is planned for the seminary in Silver Spring.

Letters to the Editor on Smedley Butler and civic issues
The correspondence praises a Swet analysis of Smedley Butler and expands into comments on capitalism versus socialism, wartime policy, and personal freedom. It recounts a humorous Butler anecdote about building a Quantico stadium, then shifts to reader notes on traffic signals and local education concerns, ending with thanks to a bank for charity display support.
