Shipley, Near Sykesville –
The Maryland Hereford Association made an extensive tour of

Eastern and Western shores of the state.
After visiting the Eastern shore, they returned to Annapolis
where they spent the night. On Sat. they proceeded to the Richard C. Riggs
Foxhall Farm at Catonsville.
On Saturday afternoon the caravan consisting of 27 cars and
a bus arrived at 2 o'clock at the Highland View farms owned by Arthur B.
Shipley.
There were a number of Western as well as Eastern states
represented in the group. Mr. Richard C. Riggs, chairman of the committee,
introduced Mr. Shipley who took them for a straw ride to view the fine purebred
herd and pastures. Mr. Shipley has over 100 pure-breds on his farms.

Carroll and Eagle Archives:
Shopping in downtown Westminster, the Carroll Community
College, the Westminster Post Office, and the Westminster Volunteer fire
Company were in the news years ago in April in Carroll County.
All too often, folks fail to remember how much planning,
fundraising, and hard work was involved to establish many of the local services
and institutions in our community that are now simply taken for granted.
The importance of courtesy in retail marketing in the
downtown Westminster shopping are was the focus of a “Courtesy Night” meeting
“held Monday evening by members of the Retail Merchants Association when they
entertained about 250 employees in the Westminster Methodist church,” according
to an April 1, 1949 newspaper article.
Today, when customer service seems more like an empty
advertising slogan, courtesy in retail shopping should go without saying.
Moreover, I have always felt that being the best is not good enough, you have
to be nice.
In the spring of 1949, the Courtesy Night “affair was held
in the lecture room of the church with the program chairman John R. Byers in
charge,” reported the now-defunct Democratic Advocate.
“Greetings were extended by President A. Willis Wampler,
Jr., He told the group that the purpose of the meeting was for the employees to
become better acquainted and more community-minded relative to retail merchandising.
“Progress in the past 25 years and the use of automobiles
have changed trends in retailing, he said. Westminster, the county seat, is
centrally located, has large free parking space and well-stocked stores with
comparable merchandise and prices, making it a convenient shopping center for a
wide area, he declared.”
And speaking of learning to adjust with the changing trends,
on April 11, 1974, “the proposed Carroll County Community College was a subject
for discussion… at a recent meeting of the Carroll County Adult Education
Advisory Committee…”
The article in the no-longer-in-print Community Reporter
said, “Consensus was that this committee strongly endorse the Community College
concept and the need for this service for adults in Carroll County.
“Of concern was the fact that Carroll County, having the
necessary population to support such a college, is the last eligible
sub-division to receive the services. Other community colleges now receiving
State support are actually receiving partial payment from Carroll County
through taxes paid to the State.”
According to the Historical Society of Carroll County; in
1899 “Carroll County was selected by the U. S. Post Office Department as the
first county to receive full Rural Free Delivery. Edwin W. Shriver was the
leading proponent of countywide service… He initiated an experimental delivery
on Easter Monday 1899 and full service was inaugurated on December 20th.”
It was on April 8, 1899 that the Democratic Advocate
reported, “The ‘Postoffice on Wheels,’ as the United States Mail Postal Wagon
is commonly called, made its first trip last Monday and is making daily trips
over the thirty miles of its route.
“The wagon has excited considerable interest in this city,
and there were quite a number of persons present to see the start last Monday.
The start had been announced for 7 o'clock, but it got off some twenty minutes
earlier, and some persons were disappointed in seeing the start that will
probably revolutionize the rural mail service of the whole country.”
When he is not enjoying an event at the Carroll Community
College, Kevin Dayhoff can be depended-on to be courteous and nice at kevindayhoff (at) gmail.com

Many Carroll County residents are getting a case of nostalgic Super Bowl fever as they look forward to Sunday's AFC championship contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots.
For more than 120 years — since football debuted at then-Western Maryland College on Oct. 31, 1891 — football has been a part of the history of Carroll County.
Not to be overlooked is the fact that since July 1949, Baltimore football teams have held summer practice in Westminster. Names like Raymond Berry, Jim Parker, Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Lenny Moore, Eugene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, Alan Ameche, and Wilbur (Weeb) Ewbank, just to mention a few, have become an important part of our Carroll County cultural history.
And yes, there is also that quarterback that was cut by the Pittsburg Steelers in 1956.

Whittaker Chambers - Carroll County On The Map, Democratic Advocate, December 10, 1948
Carroll County On The Map — From Balto. Sun Dec. 5, 1948
Fear of a Communist raid on his home led Whittaker Chambers to hide microfilms of highly secret State Department documents in a pumpkin on his farm in Bachman's Valley, known as the Clinton Thomas property and along the state road, Chambers said.
He said he and his family were away from home so much he was
afraid Communists might visit the farm during an absence and steal the
microfilms. Mr. Chambers, now an editor of Time magazine and an admitted former
Russian agent, said the Government documents were intended to go to the Russian
Government but that they never reached Soviet hands.
He did not identify the source of the microfilm copies, but
apparently they were films of State Department papers which were stolen from
the files and later returned.
The microfilms came into his possession about ten years ago,
he said, at about the time he first considered "quitting the Communist
party."
Indicating that the microfilms had been brought to his farm
only recently, Mr. Chambers said they had been kept in Brooklyn, N. Y. Where in
Brooklyn they had been hidden and how long they were there he did not disclose.

Kevin Dayhoff – The Tentacle: Ravens Strike at Westminster’s Heart
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last Friday the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football
League announced that the team will not be returning to McDaniel College in
Westminster for summer camp, breaking a tradition that dates back to 1949.
[…]
The ExploreCarroll.com article also took note of the
owner of the Raven’s, Steve Bisciotti, ties to Westminster. He was quoted as
saying that “some of my best memories as a kid are my family's visits to the
Colts' training camp in Westminster…”
More on that in a moment, first a little history.
Baltimore football in Carroll County is an intergenerational
dynamic that goes back to just a few years after World War II.
Football in Baltimore can trace its lineage to the
All-America Football Conference in 1946 and another lineage to the NFL in 1944,
according to multiple media sources, my old childhood Baltimore Colts files,
from research in 2004 when I found an excellent article on the net, “Life
Before Indianapolis: A History of the Baltimore Colts.”

Democratic Advocate, August 24, 1945: Nylons New tires nylon stockings new radios
It was over 60 years ago this month that the government announced that wartime rationing on tires, nylon stockings and radios would end.
___________________
Nylons New tires nylon stockings new radios
Democratic Advocate, August 24, 1945
Happy Day Coming for Ladies—Nylons - New tires, nylon stockings, new radios.
The Government dropped good news about all three into American laps.
Government officials were careful not to speak of an end to rationing but they said motorists might get a break on new tires within 90 days. They predicted production might jump 100 per cent in the next three months.
That would mean a lot more tires for civilians. OPA officials said they thought they could hold most of the new peacetime goods—when it reaches the stores again—at or near 1942 prices. But they have a fight on their hands. Manufacturers contend that 1945 production costs demand higher than 1942 prices.
Nylon stockings may be back in circulation by Thanksgiving, or at least by Christmas. The Government has turned loose its controls on nylon and rayon. It still has a few details to work out about giving permission for making nylon hose. This should come quickly.
WPD said 3 1/2 million radios may be on the store shelves by Christmas. This was a surprise. The reason: An 80 per cent cut in military orders for radar and radio.
Rent ceilings are expected to disappear soon in certain places. For example: In areas where Army camps close or war plants shut down and people move away.
Democratic Advocate, August 24, 1945.

Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1949: Horne Robbery Was Fabricated
Baltimore Paint Salesman Faked Report After Losing Sales; Planned To Commit Suicide—Herbert F. Horne, 40, Baltimore paint salesman, admitted to State Police Tuesday night that his report of hold up and robbery at Westminster last Friday night was a hoax he practiced to cover up his failure to land business contracts at Sparrows Point and Westminster, State Trooper James S. Poteet revealed.
Horne claimed he was heldup at a traffic light on Main street in Westminster, forced to drive north to town, where he was assaulted, robbed and his car taken.
Trooper Poteet said Horne confessed Tuesday night that he was not robbed and that the entire story was concocted to win sympathy for business failures.

November 30, 1945: No Xmas Decorations Or Treat For Children in Westminster
No Xmas Decorations Or Treat For Children Here
Democratic Advocate, November 30, 1945.
Announcement was made by Mayor Joseph L. Mathias that the municipal decorations for the coming Christmas season will be limited to the decorating of the tree at "The Forks".
Due to the lack of available manpower and the scarcity of required materials, the Mayor said the extensive decorating plan, which prevailed prior to the war, would not be resumed this year.
Mayor Mathias also announced that the City could not offer the Christmas treat to the children of the community this year because of the limitations to the supply of candies and fruits.

Jean Renoir: The Woman on the Beach
Jean Renoir: The Woman on the Beach
“Go ahead and say it, I’m no good.”
Quintessential film noir.
“The Woman on the Beach” (“La Femme sur la plage”) released June 2 1947 directed by Jean Renoir and starring Robert Ryan, Charles Bickford, Nan Leslie, Joan Bennett, and Irene Ryan.
“…Recuperating coast guard Lieutenant Scott Burnett (Robert Ryan) has his head turned from wholesome fiancé Eve (Nan Leslie) for a non-consummated affair-of-the-heart with comely Peggy Butler (Joan Bennett) wife of a famous painter who is now blind (Charles Bickford).
“Peggy is held psychological prisoner in the marriage over guilt that she may have caused his blindness so the Lieutenant tries to prove he is faking. The mood is quintessential noir and although the plot is sparse the mysterious atmosphere, performances and overly-powerful score carry the film…” Gary W. Tooze
