Maryland farmland preservation funding approved by Senate
Maryland moves to fund the farmland preservation law by diverting 12.5 percent or 2.4 million dollars in fiscal 1979 from Open Space. The program buys farm easements to keep land in agricultural use for 25 years, preventing development and protecting open spaces amid rapid population growth. Local farm groups back the measure as crucial and urge House passage.

Fredericktonians Hope Lindbergh Visit For Saint Patrick Day
Frederick residents still hope Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will visit Frederick soon though no definite action has been taken. St Patrick's Day brings little color beyond scattered shamrocks and a chilly, fitful March mood marking the day’s weather.
