Catoctin Park Historian Publishes On Iron Industry History
Frank Mentzer, a historian with the National Park System, compiles a detailed history of iron making in the Catoctin area. The book includes appendices with footnotes, chronology, and a glossary, arguing American iron tech lagged behind England's by a century and noting the 1930s forest regrowth on Catoctin Mountain. Mentzer, a former Philadelphia NPS staffer, also did architectural drawing and published Family Camping from 1958 to 1962.

Senators Clash Over Safety Bill For Heavy Equipment Operators
Both Frederick Carroll senators opposed the bill to license heavy equipment operators seeing it as a union-backed safety measure. The measure failed after a motion to table passed, with exemptions debated for Prince Georges Harford and Baltimore counties and city. They warn non metropolitan areas may lose clout amid reapportionment. A separate bill to permit padding of pupils in elementary schools cleared the Senate and moved to the House.
