25 Years Ago New Windsor Investigating Purchase Of Park Property—While election votes were being counted in the fire hall, the New Windsor Town council met upstairs Tuesday night and voted to start an investigation regarding purchase of property for a community park. With a large contingent of the recently formed New Windsor Recreation Council in attendance, Councilman Doug Manger introduced a proposal for a community park to meet the present and future recreational needs of the New Windsor area. Manger outlined methods by which such a park might be financed, indicating that with federal and state funds available for the approved park programs, the cost to New Windsor could be as little as one-eight of the total cost.

50 Years Ago Volunteers Needed For Westminster Cancer Detection Center—A Cancer and Detection Center visits Westminster monthly, and is located in the old Methodist Church building on East Main street. This center is operated by the Maryland Division Cancer Society and a very competent cancer specialist is in charge of these monthly examinations. All information in these examinations are kept strictly confidential. It is of urgent need that volunteers offer their services as a receptionist during these monthly visits from 12 noon to 5 p.m. There are only twelve visits a year, making it once a month. There certainly should be twelve women willing to give their services one afternoon a month. Other services are available including free lavatory examinations, medical care to people who do not have the means for treatments etc. Democratic Advocate, November 14, 1947.
