Iditarod Front Page: Night Run With Dogs and Training
Failor discusses dog training using positive reinforcement and night running to beat heat. Teams, aged one to two, learn from elders as they pull sleds toward Nome. The 170 mile trek took 20 hours with two hour rest stops for fish. Temperatures reached -55 F with windchill to -70 F causing frostbite. Training resumes in October for next race.

Willard's 1948 shifts: rail cut, parking lot urged
The era notes a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad order reducing local staff by 30, plus a new illuminated Willard parking lot east of the YMCA to aid downtown shoppers. A 1948 crash at Egypt and Daniels Roads injures four local youths, with recoveries at Willard Municipal Hospital. The piece also covers 1978 AFSCME union bids by Willard police and dispatchers, council rejection, and ongoing worker tensions.
