Frederick Airport began converting Detrick Field into a training camp for the 104th Observation Squadron as the Maryland National Guard unit prepared to report for training on January 3. The Frederick County Bar Association planned to seek extra space for the courthouse law library, while the Salvation Army marked its seventy fifth anniversary with 260 at Calvary Methodist Church.

Reports of unknown persons shooting at the Walkersville watershed pumphouse prompted a warning from Burgess Trout and town commissioners.
