Frederick County to consider quarry turned landfill plan
Twenty years ago no objections were voiced at a public hearing on the Frederick County Commissioners bid to operate an abandoned quarry on Clemsonville Road as a temporary demolition waste landfill. State health officials would review the evidence before permit approval, while engineers forecast clean water in Maryland within a decade if standards are met. Frederick Community College opened a new Opossumtown Pike campus as students and staff praised the surroundings.

Frederick Willkie Club backs Willkie candidacy in 1946
About 60 Frederick residents formed an Associated Willkie Club of Frederick County at 105 W. Patrick St with P W Chichester elected president and a list of officers. The group opposed a third term for the president and supported Wendell L. Willkie for president. A city board rejected a $6,300 offer to sell three quarters of an acre near Jarrell Parkway and Baker Park, noting condemnation would require an appointed commission to value the land. Ice formed in exposed areas during the second night of near freezing temperatures, with a low of 35 degrees damaging some gardens.
