Carroll County Firemen Meet Here - Parade and Several Attractive Events Are On Program - Festival To Be Held

At a meeting of the executive committee of the Westminster Fire Department held last Tuesday night, plans were considered for the arrangement of a program for the annual convention of the Carroll county Volunteer Firemen's Association to be held in Westminster on Thursday, May 15.

As this will be the first annual convention of this organization, the committee is making special efforts to provide an interesting program for the occasion.

On Thursday afternoon there will be a parade, and for the evening of the same day several events have been arranged in which prizes will be awarded.

The visiting firemen will be the guests of the Westminster Fire Department at dinner on Thursday at the firemen's building.

In connection with the convention, the Westminster Fire Department will hold an ice cream and strawberry festival which will be continued on Friday and Saturday nights. There will be music, dancing and other amusements each night.

There's nothing like going out to a high school basketball game with the family to give you a break from cabin fever.

High school sports have always played an important role in Carroll County. Although one may have a lively discussion as to which sport is the favorite in the county, there can no doubt that basketball — and wrestling — provide a great respite from Carroll County's cold miserable winter weather.

DAYHOFF: All of Westminster got fired up over 'Defense Day' in 1924

DAYHOFF: All of Westminster got fired up over 'Defense Day' in 1924

Eagle Archives

On Sept. 12, 1924, Carroll County celebrated "Defense Day" in Westminster with singing, parades, a prettiest baby contest, speeches and a beauty contest, of which the prize was $25. (No one entered.)

Much of the day's festivities took place on the Hoffa football field at what was then Western Maryland College -- now McDaniel College.

And oh, by the way ... one of the highlights of the day featured shooting up the field with machine guns. (Maybe it was the machine guns that inhibited the county's most beautiful women from entering the beauty contest?)

More research is needed to understand what "Defense Day" was all about. We obviously no longer celebrate it.

On Aug. 4, 1924, a piece in Time magazine notes that: "The project of holding a National Defense Day on Sept. 12 has met considerable opposition from pacifist bodies. President (Calvin) Coolidge undertook last week to uphold the propriety of the proposed 'Day' in a letter to the National Council for the Prevention of War ..."
