Move To Place Air Raid Sirens On Call Boxes In Frederick
Frederick officials consider mounting air raid sirens on police call boxes to replace the City Hall horn for air threats. The plan would allow police to summon volunteers while preserving the sirens at Court and Church and Market and Church for fire signals. A two-tone siren plan was denied by the War Production Board, leaving current horn use for both alarms.

Senator John B. Funk outlined a plan to build chronic disease hospitals for the aged, potentially ending county almshouses. The bill gives the Board of Public Works authority to prepare plans and sites but is optional for counties and involves no state funding. Costs per patient per day would approach 75 cents, with total hospital cost around 2 million dollars.
