If hell owned an airline, Route 140 would be its landing strip.

DAYHOFF: Please enjoy Honoring the 'Hell Drivers of Taneytown,' in 1948 and today

Eagle Archive By Kevin Dayhoff



This month in history, 51 years to be exact, Taneytown bore witness to a "Dive Bomber Crash" at the fairgrounds.

A story in an October 1948 newspaper offers this exciting preview:

"The amazing 'Dive Bomber' crash, in which a daredevil sends a speeding stock sedan hurdling a two-ton truck and deliberately crashes his machine into a parked car, is listed as one of the featured thrillers scheduled at the Carroll County Fair grounds..."

[…]

What a hoot.

I must confess, I had never heard of the "Hell Drivers" before. In fact, I always thought "hell drivers" was a reference to the friendly folks with whom we "share" Route 140.

If hell owned an airline, Route 140 would be its landing strip.

[…]

If you have a death-defying story about driving on Route 140, don't just raise your finger, err, hand. Drop us a note or share it in the comment section on http://www.explorecarroll.com/.

New Windsor Carroll County Maryland Citizens To Organize Fire Co.

NEW WINDSOR CITIZENS TO ORGANIZE FIRE CO.

Democratic Advocate, January 23, 1948

About 200 citizens interested in the organization of a fire department for New Windsor and community gathered in the Carlton theater Tuesday evening. Mr. Hesson presided at the meeting.

A state insurance representative spoke before the gathering and announced that the insurance rate would increase from 22 cents to 35 cents on a $100 if the fire department was not organized for that town.

When asked for members to support a fire department for the city about 65 put their names on the dotted line as members.

An election of officers will be held next Tuesday evening.

A new fire pumper will be purchased sometime in the near future.

The following from the Union Bridge Fire Department were present to assist in the organizations: Howard Gray, Emory G. Minnick and Lewis Baker.

Democratic Advocate, January 23, 1948.
