Plans are underway to relocate the post office from the Masonic Temple where it has stood for 16 years to the new federal building on East Patrick Street. Building activity in the city and county has slowed due to material costs and unsettled conditions. Christmas reunions were held by Hood College graduates in York Pennsylvania and Hagerstown. An Alabama man identified as a Walter Reed Hospital inmate with shell shock, who escaped and was recaptured, was found in a box car near Tuscarora. The Frederick High School annual session closed as Farm Bureau officers elected Roy C. Schaffer to succeed Merril Ramsburg as president with about half of 1,000 members present.

Frank Fife.
