Rolle leaves Frederick County drug fight after years in office
The county bids farewell to Scott Rolle, chief narcotics prosecutor, who pushed for convictions and tough sentences to deter drug use and sales. He worked long hours, supported police raids, and aimed to extend courtroom messages into the community. Lawrence A. Dorsey leads a strong staff as the fight continues with officers targeting drug havens and pursuing suspects for prosecution.

Frederick County Democrats Dine in Baltimore Honor O Conor
Fifty years ago on January 24 1941 Frederick County Democrats attending a testimonial dinner dance at the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore honored Gov Herbert R O Conor s second anniversary in office. The guest list included numerous officials and delegates. On the return trip James Myers and Mildred Unger of Frederick drove Edna Conklin to Braddock Heights when a dog leaped into the road. Myers swerved the car and it rolled three times yet all occupants escaped serious injuries. Miss Unger needed only minor cuts and bruises treated by Dr Howard W Ash. The dog was killed.
