The Bennington Banner operates daily except Sundays and holidays. Published by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street in Bennington Vermont 05201.
In Pownal Arlington and Hoosick Falls New York officials favor big government or big business over local sentiment. The piece argues democratic health relies on listening to the people and using local power to reflect residents’ wishes rather than Washington Montpelier or Albany influence.
The piece condemns General George S. Brown for remarks hostile to Congress and constitutional protections, labeling him dangerous to the nation as a top military officer. It likens him to a disruptor of the system, cites prior controversial statements about Israel England and Iran, and argues President Carter should dismiss him. It ends with a light note about a Dublin punnet of strawberries costing $900.

A devotional poem reflects on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the hope of resurrection. The speaker imagines witnessing the events, asks for forgiveness for others, and longs to be present at Christ’s return. The piece closes with the author’s name Evelyn Lantz.
Letter to the editor criticizes the Rooney family for crying about racing competition. It cites Yonkers Raceway Pownal track and Green Mountain Race Track. The writer questions salaries, takeout increases, and impact on workers and customers in Vermont.
Poem fragment recalls the trumpet call and Mary at the tomb as Christ rises. A small bird rests on a bloom and sings, while the wounded world marks his return. Set near Bennington Convalescent Center, the passage blends sacred verse with a quiet memorial scene.
Rep Sam Lloyd argues Vermont faces an energy policy vacuum and urges creating an instrumental government body to develop and implement a statewide plan. He cautions against merging legislative and executive powers and favors public hearings to explore nuclear options before a comprehensive policy.
