The Bennington Banner is a daily newspaper except Sundays and holidays, issued by Banner Publishing Corporation. It operates from 425 Main Street in Bennington Vermont.
Editorial critiques Roger MacBride announcing a Republican bid for Vermont governor. It labels him crusading for low taxes and waste cutting, noting his Halifax roots and history in the General Assembly. The piece mocks the Vermont Taxpayers Council release and his conservative clashes with socialism.
The Vermont political debate centers on MacBride’s early proposals including abolishing Vermont Life and backing a Liberty Amendment to end the federal income tax. Critics urge specifics on cutting government spending rather than demagogic rhetoric as voters weigh promised tax reductions against feasible fiscal savings.
Vermont politics heats up as Roger MacBride enters the GOP governor race and Lt. Gov. Ralph Foote meets ex Lt. Gov. Robert Babcock in Middlebury. A Foote Babcock clash signals a potential three way Republican contest with tax policy divides and possible new candidates promising a dynamic 1964 primary.
The speech argues freedom of debate in foreign policy is valuable despite risks. It contrasts U S parliamentary versus presidential systems, defends Sen Fulbright's criticism of policy, and proposes a fourth Cuban option: voluntary American-led boycott to pressure Castro toward negotiation within the Americas.
A nostalgic tour through William Archdeacon’s 1876 Kitchen Cabinet advice with soap making, boiling clothes, feather cleaning, and ox gall use. The columnist notes the harsh, hands-on methods and mocks the era’s extensive household instructions.
Sunderland resident John H. Lake questions Robert B. Vail's remarks on teachers and one room schools, doubts the wisdom of state aid, and asks if Vail and Gov. Hoff share the same view of the State Board of Education. He defends Sunderland students and warns against hurried decisions and fiscal haste.
Gov Hoff pushes war on poverty in Vermont drawing attention to counties labeled low in spirits areas and disaster areas. He criticizes residents for not recognizing hardship, calls for federal aid, and suggests a local Poor Corps to lift statewide morale and incomes.
A fragment describes a woman in 1876 who maintained a black silk dress for daily tasks including killing an ox, extracting gall, making soap, boiling clothes, and preparing for a possible funeral appearance. The narrator humorously notes the need to have the mustache dye ready for her spouse’s funeral.
Congressman details House actions including civil rights and tax bills, five major appropriations sent to Senate, defense authorizations, Peace Corps expansion, Library Services Act extension, and airport grants. Notes Vermont trips and contact points. Also reports Pay Bill defeat and stance on congressional pay raise, defense budgets trimmed, and opposition to a cotton wheat subsidy plan raising taxes and prices.
The House passed four regular appropriation bills covering the District of Columbia Interior Treasury and Post Office and NASA. Total cuts from these bills plus defense reductions push the Johnson budget toward major decreases and foreshadow further cuts. Also approved were Peace Corps expansion with 115 million dollars for 1965 and a three year extension of the Federal Airport Act.
