Israel’s restraint amid Iraq’s Scud attacks offers slim peace hope
Tel Aviv presents the first real glimmer of enduring peace as Prime Minister Shamir forgoes immediate retaliation to Iraq’s Scuds. A Baltimore Sun poll cited 80 percent Israeli approval for restraint, contrasting with Ben-Gurion’s harsh vengeance legacy. The piece lauds patience, notes U.S. Patriot aid, and warns that lasting peace hinges on addressing the Palestinian issue.

Temporary glider club study group forms in Frederick
Fifty years ago a temporary organization led by Louis V. Keyser formed to study a glider club in Frederick. Sixteen locals attended at the YMCA with J J Smiley Jr of Joliet and World War I pilot Charles T Malone who spoke on gliders for defense. Between 400 and 500 attended the President's Birthday Ball at the State Armory, and hundreds joined a Braddock Heights roller skating party, proceeds benefiting the infantile paralysis fund. Mr and Mrs Robert E Delaplaine left for a southern tour, joined as far as Russellville by Mrs Frank H Hedges visiting her daughter Mrs Roger Nelson in Kimball.

Poffenbarger accuses board of duping county on FCTA proposal
Frederick County Teachers Association president Reese S. Poffenbarger denounces the Board of Education for selectively presenting FCTA negotiation proposals, notably a paid leave for the president. He accuses the board of taking public advantage and trading away points in a package deal. A separate radio broadcast promotes a drug seminar from Frederick City Hall. A drug addict criticizes Maryland’s laws as progressive yet underfunded. The state forms a Drug Abuse Authority but funds remain insufficient for centers. The Frederick County Circuit Court adopts a 48 hour rapid appearance rule to speed trials and cut pretrial hearings, per Judge Robert E. Clapp Jr.
