Democratic Advocate, December 2, 1971.

Annoying Phone Calls? Chamber Gives Advice

The Carroll County Chamber of Commerce has received several complaints recently about annoying phone calls and calls which involve aggressive and bothersome sales techniques, a Chamber press release reported last week.

To deal with calls which are abusive or which involve pranks, the safest course of action starts with positive identification of the caller, the Chamber said. If there is any doubt, ask to return the call which will give you the opportunity to check the number for accuracy.

Most importantly, never, never answer questions of a personal nature unless you are sure of the identity of the caller, the Chamber cautioned.

Community Reporter, Feb 26, 1971: Get Ready For Eight-Cent Postage

Get Ready For Eight-Cent Postage

Community Reporter, February 26, 1971 http://tinyurl.com/yhla4ny

Editorial - GET READY FOR EIGHT-CENT POSTAGE - Postage Rate increases now planned for May 13, will bring into use a number of special, new postage stamps of various denominations, but the one which will first proclaim to the public that letters are going to cost more will be the Missouri Commemorative stamp, marking the 150th anniversary of that State as a member of the Union.

There will be, in all, a dozen new types of postage stamps, three kinds of stamped envelopes and three postal cards.

Additional new stamps and cards and a new aerogramme will be needed by July 1st for the new international rates which go into effect at that time.

The Missouri commemorative will carry a portion of the mural gracing the wall of the Harry S. Truman library at Independence, Missouri, and will be the first stamp to bear the designation showing the new 8-cent first-class mail rate.

It will go on sale on May 8, at Independence, Missouri, according to Post Office Department announcement, and will be available at other Post Offices throughout the country the day after, May 9.

The day is chosen because May 8 will be President Truman's 87th birthday. The theme is from the painting, "The Winning of the West," by a noted Missouri artist, Thomas Hart Benton, who will be 82 years old himself on April 15.

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.

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973 Study Recommends 10 More Troopers Carroll Record

The Carroll Record, July 26, 1973

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.

Carole King

Album: Tapestry

Song's name: It's Too Late

Song info: Lyrics and Music: Toni Stern and Carole King feat. Dina Carroll

Lyrics:

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you

But it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
It's too late my baby

1971 "Smiling Faces Tell Lies" by "The Undisputed Truth"

1971 "Smiling Faces Tell Lies" by "The Undisputed Truth"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5mcaOm7KE



Smiling Faces was unsuccessfully originally recorded by the Temptations in 1971. Producer Norman Whitfield had the song re-recorded by the Undisputed Truth and released that same year, resulting in a number three Billboard Hot 100 Position. Smiling Faces was the ONLY top 40 single released by the "Undisputed Truth.

Lyrics
Smiling faces sometimes
pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces

of the evil that lurks within
Can you Dig it.

Smiling faces,
smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof
Oh Lord Yeah

Let me tell ya
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen

Remember
a smile is just a frown
turned upside down
My friend
So here me when I'm saying
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth

Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof

Beware,
beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Can you dig it, can you dig it

I'm telling you
Beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back

Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy

I tell you, you can't see behind
smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes
Hey, they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces,
smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof

Hey
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes
they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces,
smiling faces
Tell lies
and I got proof

This Day in History for February 11, 2009


This Day in History for February 11, 2009

February 11, 2009 by © Kevin Dayhoff


Years ago in the middle of February, the Baltimore Colts, graffiti, a new jail, going hungry and sweet corn were on the minds of Carroll Countians – not necessarily in that order.

The Baltimore Colts are coming to town.

On February 11, 1949 it was announced that the Baltimore Colts were coming to Western Maryland College – now known as McDaniel College - to practice in the summer.

The now out-of-print Democratic Advocate carried the headline: “College Campus To Be Used By Colts- Coach Isbell Expects to Bring 55 Players to Train, Starting in July.”

The article proclaimed: “Baltimore's football Colts are going to train at Western Maryland College this year. 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 …

“Driskill … cited a number of advantages in choosing Western Maryland. "The school's facilities are ideal," he explained, "and because Westminster is only 30 miles from Baltimore the fans will have a good chance to get acquainted with us.’

Children will be children.

The February 11, 1921 edition of the now defunct Union Bridge Pilot lamented: “The practice of defacing property with chalk and pencils… appears to be a favorite pastime with some children.

“Newly painted buildings and porch columns appear to offer special inducements for the practice. The town authorities as a rule do not care to resort to legal measures with children, yet it appears a few applications of this medicine might prove effective.”

New jail to be built.

On February 13, 1970, another local newspaper that has long since fallen by the wayside, the Community Reporter, reported that the Carroll County Board of Commissioners, Robert M. McKinney, Paul J. Walsh, and Scott S. Bair, Jr., “have officially approved the building of a new county jail in Westminster for Carroll County…

“The issue… has been debated for several years. In 1968 the State Jail Inspector stated the jail was not usable and ordered it closed. Since that time, the county has been transporting prisoners to the Baltimore city jail.”

Eventually somebody is going to go hungry.

The February 13, 1920 edition of the Union Bridge Pilot, helped spread the alarm that according to Prof. T. C. Atkeson, the Washington representative of the National Grange: “The Cities Must Experience Industrial Crash.”

Professor Atkeson warned that an “economic crash that will bring down the cost of living, must originate in the cities, and reach such an extent that those who have left the country sections for "big wages" will come back to the country…

“He says there is no cure for high prices that Congress, or anybody, can provide, but that the situation must work itself out...

“He says the labor situation is rapidly making it impossible for the farmers to feed the country, and that eventually somebody is going to go hungry.”

Carroll County was sweet on sweet corn.

Four years later, on February 1, 1924, the Democratic Advocate reported: “One of the largest crops produced by the farmer in Carroll (is) sweet corn…

“The average yield (was) close to 3 tons (per acre.) … The cost ran from $13.00 to $13.50 per ton. Allowing only .25 per hour for labor and .10 per hour for horse.”

New Windsor Council Agrees On Need of Water Tower

This Day in History: New Windsor Council Agrees On Need of Water Tower

The Carroll Record, February 8, 1973.

The New Windsor Town Council had a "Citizen's Hearing" Tuesday night on the proposals to build a $120,000 storage tank for the town's water system. Considering the specifics of an engineering firm's offer, in the informal but democratic manner of a New England town meeting, Council members Granville Bixler and Richard Wareheim invited comments from town citizens on every aspect involving building a new 200,000 gallon water storage tank.

The basis for the discussion was a proposal submitted by Buchart-Horn engineers that New Windsor enter into a contract with the firm for construction of the much needed water tank.

Although questions regarding the site of the tank and the vital matter of funding-whether through a bond issue or with assistance of state or federal funds were not resolved; there was total agreement that in view of low water pressures and increasing costs due to inflation, the tank should be built now.
