Democratic Advocate, August 23, 1946.

MD. HEREFORD ASSOC. TOURS STATE - Visits Farms of Arthur B. Shipley, Near Sykesville –

The Maryland Hereford Association made an extensive tour of the state to visit pure bred Hereford cattle farms August 9th. A two-day affair, the tour gave cattle breeders an opportunity of visiting farms on the 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.

Recently on Explore 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

Freight Engine Was Derailed; 26 Cars Piled Up—Three trainmen were seriously scalded by steam Saturday afternoon when a freight train was derailed on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad At Sykesville and a section of the rail pierced the locomotive boiler.

Twenty-six cars of the 73-car train were derailed. Eight cars were overturned and witnesses said that they were "a mass of twisted wreckage.”

Officials of the B. & O. said, that the old main line now used only for freight traffic, will probably be closed by the wreckage until late in the afternoon. According to State police, the three injured men were riding in the cab of the locomotive at the time of the accident.

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.

What was his name? Oh yeah, right. Johnny Unitas.

Certainly many people were disappointed when the Baltimore Ravens announced Dec. 2 that the team will not be returning to its McDaniel College summer training camp.

In a Carroll Eagle article that day on ExploreCarroll.com, Westminster Mayor Utz spoke for many, "It's almost a 50-year tradition that's being broken… That's the sad part about it."

The tradition and history of Baltimore football and Westminster first began when the newspaper announced ran on Feb. 11, 1949, "College Campus To Be Used By Colts … Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July … Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year."

The article in the now defunct Democratic Advocate continued, "Dr. Lowell S. Ensor, president of the Methodist school, and Walter S. Driskill, Colts general manager, have signed a contract providing for the city's All-America Football Conference squad to use the Westminster College's campus as a pre-season base of operations, it was announced…"

The history of football in Baltimore — and Westminster — can trace one of its lineages to the All-America Football Conference in 1946 and another lineage to the NFL in 1944.

The first football team in Baltimore began on Dec. 28, 1946, when the bankrupt Miami Seahawks franchise, of the All-American Football Conference, was awarded to Baltimore.

Just over two-years later, according to the 1949 newspaper article, Coach Cecil Isbell said he expected to take a Colt squad to Westminster, "We plan to begin practice about five weeks before our opening contest..." Driskill said in the article… Read more: http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1211-20111207,0,828252.story

Steve Jones – Carroll Eagle: Ravens' move is blow to Westminster, but the right call for the team

Sideline View By Steve Jones

The decision last week by the Baltimore Ravens to move their summer training camp from Westminster's McDaniel College to the team facility in Owings Mills came down to hearts and minds.

To thousands of football fans in the Baltimore area whose hearts belong to the football team, the Ravens were presented with an easy choice.

Since coming to Baltimore from Cleveland in 1996, the Ravens conducted training camp at McDaniel every summer until this past one, when the club remained at its Owings Mills base due to a late resolution to the lockout. It seemed logical that the Ravens would return in 2012, because you don't break with tradition.

But tradition isn't what it used to be, especially in sports, and the world is light-years removed from 1996.

The Ravens' brass used their heads when finalizing last week's decision to move training camp to their spacious and comfortable Owings Mills complex. Sad as it may be to Carroll and Westminster, the decision makes sense on many levels...

The tradition and history of Baltimore football and Westminster first began when the newspaper announced ran on Feb. 11, 1949, "College Campus To Be Used By Colts … Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July … Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year."

September 24, 1945: Black Marketeers Sob, Dump Ill-Gotten Goods

Black Marketeers Sob, Dump Ill-Gotten Goods

Scrambling Desperately To Get Rid Of Nylons, Shoes, Piece Goods And Silks

Democratic Advocate, September 24, 1945

After four flourishing years, the bottom finally has dropped out of the black markets with a refreshing thud. And war-fattened marketeers are scrambling desperately to get rid of their once precious stockpiles of nylons, shoes, piece goods and silks at deflated prices.

They took an enormous loss when gas rationing was called off. Nylon hose, prime specialty of the wartime black market, has slumped almost overnight from $15 to $5 a pair along Broadway and Park Ave., where the traffic has been particularly heavy.

The spectacular decline extends to such other black market staples as meat, used cars and rubber goods. You can even get a little Scotch whisky if you know the dealer. War-short canned goods, such as imported sardines and selected salmon and tuna fish are finding their way back to retailers' shelves—and meat is once more hanging publicly from butchers' hooks.

End of gas rationing caused a panic in the black market. It was the same in other black market fields, supply overtaking demand for the first time since Pearl Harbor. Consumers sat back to wait for promised postwar commodity—of better grade, price and style

Democratic Advocate, August 20, 1948: Consolidation Planned By Three Westminster Banks

Consolidation Planned By Three Westminster Banks

Democratic Advocate, August 20, 1948

The proposed consolidation of three of Westminster's banks, The Westminister Savings Bank, The Farmers and Mechanic National Bank of Westminster, and The First National Bank of Westminster, was announced yesterday.

The three institutions would become a national banking association under the amended charter of The First National Bank of Westminster. Assets of the merged institution, to be known as Carroll County National Bank of Westminster, would be in excess of $41,000,000.

According to the joint statement issued by the Presidents of the three banks, conversations among the institutions have been going on for several months.

A joint consolidation committee, consisting of three Directors from each bank, has worked out the details of the consolidation and with officials have drawn up an agreement which was approved by the Board of Directors of all three institutions without dissent on July 29th last.

Westminster Riding Club holds horse show

Democratic Advocate, August 16, 1946.

Horse Show Big Attraction — 76 Horses and Ponies Compete; Largest Attendance In History; Teeter Cup To Chas. Rider - The twelfth annual horse and pony show, held Sunday at the Westminster Riding Club, drew a large attendance.

There were 76 ponies and horses shown on the picturesque show grounds, claimed to be one of the most attractive in the state. The show got off to a start before 10 o'clock and under the supervision of the horse show secretary, William Robinette, the events moved along smoothly and in good time.

The show closed after 7 p.m. with the majority of the patrons remaining until the last class contest was completed. One of the features of the show was the presentation of the John S. Teeter Memorial Cup in the open jumping class by the late horseman's widow, who was escorted into the ring to witness the contest and to make the presentation, by the president of the club, Dr. L. N. Hitchcock.

The late Mr. Teeter was a horse show enthusiast and patronized many of the shows throughout the seasons with his string of winners. His sons were admired for their horsemanship. First leg on the memorial cup went to Charles Ryder, owner and rider of Big Boy.

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.
