Four Frederick businessmen sign a Nov 29 contract to buy the Maryland Baptist College site in Walkersville for 500 000 dollars.

Frederic County stations logged 84 legal kills on Saturday with several notable entries including Merrie Wise 91 pounds and 2 points, Harold Day 113 pounds and 5 points, and Russell S. Strube's 150 pound nine pointer near Point of Rock. Theodore Marshall brought in a 130 pound ten pointer near Woodsboro, while Calvin Buhrman and Richard Fox of Cascade processed deer over 130 pounds.
