Solomon says Public Inebriate Program died due to shaft
Baltimore AP reports state health secretary Dr. Neil Solomon blamed federal false assurances for the Public Inebriate Program’s closure as funding ended. Officials say efforts included a $27,000 state cash bridge and a $50,000 medical backup, but no funds for feeding or shelter could be found, leaving inebriates on the streets.

Western Maryland towns mull full time state troopers
Hancock and other small Western Maryland towns welcome federal funding that would cut each town’s share of a trooper’s salary to 6.5 percent. Capt. W C Dykes notes since 1968 municipalities paid 75 percent with the state covering 25 percent. The move could boost local police protection as funds arrive. Meanwhile Nova Cygni 1975 will fade in the Northern Cross allowing Marylanders to view a bright delayed-action death in the night sky for the next week. The Baltimore NOW chapter urges women in area firms to pursue back pay for pregnancy discrimination as part of a national effort targeting 11 local employers including Lever Brothers and General Motors.
