Firemen Fail to Save Thurmont Milling and Supply Building
Firefighters from Thurmont and Emmitsburg battled seven hours to extinguish a blaze of unknown origin that destroyed the Thurmont Milling and Supply Association mill and warehouse. Adjacent structures were saved. A separate roundup in Middletown sponsored by the Lions Club and Boy Scout Troop 2 drew attention, while the 7th Battalion Band led a parade and concert. Frederick High School’s Victory Corps grows with 1,200 students joining advisory council and war service projects. Voters statewide supported Nixon-Agnew and Byron, rejected tax funding for private schools, and county officials sought to preserve the Penn Central line after Agnes flood damage. Trustees warned the Frederick to Hanover line may be abandoned.
