Anderson Specialist Robert DeVaux outlined major summer curriculum improvements while teachers prepared for the fret day on September 5. Some 24,244 students are expected to enroll in county schools amid two years of reorganization and a countywide discipline policy. The year signals renewed inspiration, not new goals, with emphasis on basic skills and discipline. The board noted a 545 billion bushel corn crop and a 13 billion carryover, calling for a 5 billion bushel crop next year and per acre payments to ensure grower participation under the 1977 Act. Farmers are urged to begin land prep after harvest. Discharged from Frederick Memorial Hospital on August 31 were Jennifer Mathews, Mary Rice, Robert Shaw, John Shelhorse, Ella Wochter, Ethel Wilson, Eleanor Swire, Irma Hartman, Courtney Cliser, Ann Thompson, Frances Burriss, Evelyn Eakle, Hester Hardy, Nogine Lee, Mary Connely, Hing Wilson, Airy Douglas Beth Poolesville, and Beth Neubover Thurmont.
