The Bennington Banner is a daily Vermont newspaper except Sundays and holidays. It is published by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street, Bennington, Vermont.
The piece argues Americans misjudge France and Germans postwar noting De Gaulle’s hard line and Sartre’s leftist stance. It links mutual misunderstandings to wartime tensions with Roosevelt and Churchill, then contrasts their insistence on language and intellectual grandeur with broader French opinion. It concludes many French differ from these two leaders yet both commands admiration and bafflement.
Vermont debates the 1.9 million ETV bond as a tool for statewide schooling. Rep. Richard Mallary questions passage citing alternatives in Gov Hoff's budget. Supporters urge the bond for teacher access, while opponents seek better uses like curriculum, libraries, and regional school construction incentives.
The note highlights drought concerns in Montpelier and calls for Bennington Water Department estimates on summer supplies and emergency steps. It reports renewed airport coverage by Diane Hanson, revisits historic railroad station news, honors Marlboro College library naming for Howard Rice, and mentions Fran Stacy's piece on Cole Hall refurbishment and Shaftsbury village improvement society revival.
In a critique of Washington's Viet Nam diplomacy, the piece notes alignments with Hanoi on Geneva 1954 terms yet mutual rejection of initial realities. It argues Washington and Hanoi fail to adopt a credible negotiating stance, risking isolation while contending with distorted legal grounds and a lack of strong international support.
Letters from Herb Ogden of Hartland argue conservatives form a new Conservative Republican party while liberals shift to Democrats, as Vermont moves from a two-party paradigm to a Conservative Republican and Liberal Democrat system. The note frames party realignment and critiques the old Republican team.
John Chamberlain argues the American left is a paper tiger shadowboxing over Vietnam. He minimizes Yale professors and front groups, credits Johnson with steady policy, and asserts allied power in Asia, citing Windsor, Sukarno, and British stance as proof the left’s tactics fail.
In North Bennington locals recall a historic stone mill site where a town jail once stood between the mill and Paran Creek. The eight by five foot cell featured a bunk, a grate, damp walls, and resident rats. Prisoners escaped via padlocks loosed by friendly townsfolk, a casual 19th century justice echoed by haunting ghost lore along the creek.
