Hood College moves vast library to new building across street
About 160000 books plus thousands of magazines and microfiche must be relocated to Hood College’s new $9.2 million library, as 1.5 million index cards were computerized and discarded. Movers report 2000 books per hour and 35 carts per hour, with the 22‑man crew keeping books in exact order.

Hundreds Seek to Save Battle of South Mountain Land
Hundreds of donors across the U S and as far as England join the Central Maryland Heritage League by buying one square foot deeds to protect the South Mountain battlefield. The group has issued 347 certificates raising about 8700 dollars and, with donations and a 325000 dollar land trust purchase, aims to preserve 22 acres including two houses. Rep Beverly Byron led by buying parcels for her grandchildren and plans a future visit. The effort honors Civil War history amid ongoing debates over development near Middletown.
