Worst Driver Gets Term and Fine in Frederick Court
A county driver with what Magistrate Wilbur Sheffield called “the worst driving record in Frederick county” was jailed 30 days and fined 100 dollars after three counts of operating on a revoked license. Another offender, Benjamin Franklin, was fined for speeding over 70 and improper passing. Grayson Feaga, with a long record, pleaded guilty to unauthorized driving. Franklin claimed a defective speedometer caused his high speed. Other cases included a Baltimore seaman fined 100 for speeding and drinking, Lloyd Ansel jailed for speeds up to 90 with a drink, and Thomas Cessna imprisoned for 10 days for expired license. Several defendants forfeited collateral for traffic violations.

Parched Crops Saved By Rain
Rain across Maryland saved parched crops after a two month drought, bringing hopes of recovery though experts warn for weeks of steady rainfall.

Officials call the rain valuable, potentially worth millions, with continued moisture needed to revive corn, tobacco, and orchards.
