Need For County Ladder Truck Presented At Firemen's Meet
Frederick County firemen urged purchase of a county wide ladder truck at their meeting hosted by Independent Hose Company No. 1. The one man operated straight bed truck would serve multi story buildings and require central, first call deployment within a year or so. Estimated cost around 60000, with concern that no single company could bear the expense.

Negotiations Resume as Teacher Pact Deliberations Continue
A three member arbitration panel will reconvene in Washington DC Saturday to resolve the Frederick County Teacher contract deadlock after 11 hours of talks on January 9. The panel includes FCTA rep Jack Groch, Board of Education member Don Keeffer, and neutral arbitrator Sam Jaffee. The dispute centers around roughly 30 issues with no progress previously and a looming deadline. The FCTA seeks a $625 pay boost for new teachers and wants a binding mediator and no standardized tests for evaluation. The board opposes a no strike clause and seeks to maintain salary scale reductions tied to county budget cuts.

Economy shows growth as inflation eases in 1971 end
