The Vermont Senate approved an Omnibus Appropriations Bill totaling 129 million for the next two years. It trims education aid by one million versus the House but restores about 500 thousand to mental health programs and opposes gutting the human resources budget. Legal aid and job training programs risk cuts, though supporters argue their value. The final bill awaits Senate House negotiations, with the Senate urged to keep balanced priorities for all Vermonters.
Senator Edward M Kennedy attacks the National Rifle Association as blocking reasonable gun control. He cites its large resources and lobbying power while noting rising public support and endorsements from major civic groups for federal measures to curb mail order gun sales and raise age limits. The predicted outcome: Congress may pass an effective law with or without NRA backing.

The Sacramento Journal sketches Ronald Reagan’s rise from actor to governor and hints he could become the Republican presidential nominee in 1968. It highlights his TV savvy, image, budget talk, mental health cuts, and Finchs’ power broker role, noting public opinion mixed but momentum among backers.
A Vermont Fish and Game appeal urges reporting deer carcasses found in fields or streams to wardens. The goal is to improve counts of animals dying outside regular seasons and to help refine hunting and fishing conditions statewide. The note also emphasizes pollution issues, public hearings, and water quality standards under federal law, urging citizen participation and awareness of environmental impacts on recreation.
If the coming fishing season includes a youngster, prepare patience and do a good job. Early trips should be to a pond with perch, not rocky streams. Let the boy learn bite feel baiting and landing fish, then try trout. Expect some headaches but much satisfaction.
