• Colonial Store manager George H. Paulos was listed in satisfactory condition after being shot in a holdup attempt Saturday night. The bandit fled and police are seeking the public’s help in learning the suspect’s identity so they can begin to track the gunman. Police said Paulos was stopped at a stop sign at Waverly Drive and Maryland Avenue when the suspect yanked the car door open. Police said Paulos lapsed into shock because after the robbery attempt, he still drove Downtown to the Union Trust Co. to make the store’s night deposit, then drove to Peninsula General Hospital, where he collapsed.
• A Wicomico County Jail trusty is in big trouble after he was sent down the street to pick up a pair of eyeglasses and ended up in a Lake Street bar, where he got into a fight.

He will be moved to the Maryland House of Correction. Sheriff Samuel Graham said Anderson had truly been a good helper around the Courthouse.
