Dog Law in Frederick County Proves Ineffective
The Frederick County dog control ordinance, aimed at keeping dogs from running loose with a $25 fine, is failing to be enforced. Sheriff and Dog Warden cite staffing and resource shortages as reasons for not prosecuting violators, despite hundreds of strays and thousands of unlicensed dogs in the county. The piece urges more officers and funding to enforce the law and protect residents, pets, and livestock.

Mexico already builds a 75 megawatt plant near Mexicali.

Mailgram aims to speed letters with Telex linked system
The postal service and Western Union test a new Mailgram service blending mail and telegrams. A Teleprinter message is routed to the Mailgram Center, placed in an envelope, and delivered next business day, with same day delivery possible over long time gaps. It costs about $1.10 for 50 words and provides a written record. Initially for business use, it will roll out to the public by mid 1971 in several cities.
