Mob Storms Laurel Booths Over Canceled Races
More than 400 angry customers stormed Laurel Race Course admissions and booths when the days program was canceled 25 minutes before post time. They demanded refunds of admission, program, and parking fees. Laurel canceled Friday’s racing two hours later after a Maryland Racing Commission steward deemed the track unfit. Refunds were issued to those who asked, while some waited and planned rain checks. Brady, Laurel general manager, said refunds were given to all who requested them.

Tradition Backs Howard Cagers in Walkersville Play
Howard County basketball history hints at a strong future as the 1966 Howard team won Walkersville High School's seventh annual Holiday Tournament, defeating Walkersville for the crown. Past winners from 1960 to 1963 advanced to state champs in their divisions, with Walkersville also securing a crown in 1960 and 1963, and nearby schools shaping the 4A race in 1964. The 1965 event was skipped, and the 1966-67 season is seen as promising for Howard County.
