April 1, 1974: Community Reporter Is The Mt Airy Newspaper
Community Reporter Is The Paper With The Most News Of Mt. Airy
The Community Reporter, April 1, 1974
NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS MAY CLAIM: Community Reporter Is The Paper With The Most News Of Mt. Airy—
Quite recently a neighboring newspaper, the County Courier, carried a statement that their paper had 61% more Mt. Airy news than any other newspaper, including the Community Reporter.
A close comparison with that paper, measuring inch by inch, indicates what we already knew, and that is that the statement made in the Courier is not only grossly unfair, it is definitely untrue.
It is truly quite difficult to understand why the County (Montgomery) Courier is so interested in news in Mt. Airy when it really is outside of their area and the news is already in print in the Community Reporter.
Do we really need this duplication?

Community Reporter Jan. 11, 1974: Adult Ed Course offered on Alcohol
Adult Education Course Offered On Alcohol Problem
Possibly the first course like it in the State of Maryland will be offered in the Carroll County School system through the Adult Education Division. The title of this course will be "Alcohol and Adolescents."
Its subject is a comprehensive look at the drug alcohol, its effects psychologically, sociologically and physically on humans, including an understanding of the disease of alcoholism, its effects on families and communities, plus a glimpse at its treatment.
This course will be aimed at helping parents feel more comfortable with communicating with their children around the inevitable contact the children will have with alcohol.

As the New Year approaches and we look back upon local history, we're reminded that the good old days weren't always that good, and the more things change, the more they remain the same:
A Dec. 30, 1971, article in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate noted that, "Unknown burglars broke into the J.C. Penny department store over the weekend, ransacked the offices, and stole a $1.59 flashlight from the basement work table, the Westminster city police reported.

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973 Study Recommends 10 More Troopers Carroll Record
Study Recommends Ten More Troopers For County
—Ten more State Policemen are needed in Carroll County, according to a study commissioned by the county, funded by the federal government and made by the Superintendent of the Maryland State Police last fall.
Citing a rising crime rate and overall county growth, the study intended to survey the opinions of people in the county and make recommendations for improvements. Local police forces were evaluated in the report.
Though all of the municipal forces, with the exception of Westminster, were termed inadequate, the study felt they all work well with the State Police force in the county.
Town officials frequently felt their local forces were beneficial as a deterrent to crime and most wanted a marked police car around even if their overall effectiveness was inadequate.

Old Time Market Again In Carroll County
The Carroll Record, July 5, 1973
You can find historical lore aplenty in Carroll County, in the heart of northern Maryland's agriculturally oriented Piedmont area.
Another plaque marks the location of "Corbit's Charge" on June 29, 1863, which slowed up a Rebel cavalry division on its way to the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, some 20 miles up present highway 140 in neighboring Pennsylvania.
And a cultural spill-over from north of the old Mason-Dixon Line is in Pennsylvania Dutch influence with its tradition for thriftiness and home gardening.
It's this latter heritage which helped make a success of the county's first old-time farmers market last year during an 11-week run on summer Saturdays at the Carroll County Agricultural Center, according to Robert L. Jones, County Extension agricultural agent.
That success has blossomed into plans for a 13-week resumption this year, beginning Saturday (July 7) at the same location, Jones has announced on behalf of the farmers market committee. It is located adjacent to the Farm Museum, south of Westminster on Smith Avenue, off U.S. Highway 140 and between state highways 32 and 27.
