Editorial argues 1964 Vermont gubernatorial campaign will focus on legislative reapportionment and legislature effectiveness. Lt. Gov Ralph Foote and Gov Hoff are cited on executive overreach and legislative delay as key topics, with Republicans blamed for inefficiency and political fallout ahead.
The piece argues re election hinges on crisis with the legislature over centralization and school district consolidation. It canvasses reapportionment as a reform issue and notes Vermont voters seek progress via education. It also surveys New York tourist tipping, with waiters condemning low tips contrasted with city dwellers’ steady customers. Vermont tourism tips emerge as a counterpoint.
The piece argues Henry Cabot Lodge should remain ambassador in Saigon rather than resign to pursue a Republican presidential bid. It notes his strength in New Hampshire Oregon and California may reflect public weariness with Goldwater Rockefeller and Nixon and discusses how Viet Nam policy aligns with his shown stance. It cites Kennedy practice of appointing Republicans to key posts and suggests Lodge could be drafted by the convention or remain in Saigon.
The piece reviews Mr Archdeacon's guide to female beauty and household duties in the late 1800s. It notes DIY cosmetics like cold cream and hair dyes, mocks his view on blondes, and describes radical methods such as hair drying with charcoal and benzoin. The column compares to Samantha at Saratoga and laments reckless vanity.
Ellen H Labatt of East Arlington thanks Joseph Kennedy for his April 4 letter in The Banner about Gov Hoff’s poverty study plan. She praises Hoff as the first to assist the Vermont majority who understand poverty and expresses appreciation for Kennedy’s stance.

William Paley asseverates federal funds do not threaten university autonomy.
