The Bennington Banner is issued daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation. It operates from 425 Main Street in Bennington, Vermont.
An editorial urges Pownal residents to mirror Garden Club efforts by tidying up the town and nearby areas. It notes junk along Main Street, calls for more waste containers, and highlights Vermont’s gateway town status. It also discusses Vermont GOP politics and the need for meaningful electoral debate in shaping the state’s future.
Washington argues a patched up NATO would avert a Western split and preserve influence in Europe. The piece warns de Gaulle’s France risks wrecking the alliance unless the United States fosters Franco German arrangements, while urging a new purpose beyond defense to end the Cold War in Europe.
A reflective column critiques car design and a culture of risk, arguing true safety hinges on human behavior rather than tighter laws. Citing two Vermont accidents near home, the piece laments insurance gaps and the lasting damage to families, urging slower vehicles and stricter driving standards.
Reader letters discuss unifying Bennington town government to improve budgeting and reduce taxes. A Vietnam veteran seeks correspondence from Bennington friends, while Harold Croft outlines his background and asks for contact. Other messages quote Jefferson on states rights and frugality, and a Rutland health official thanks The Banner for Medicare enrollment cooperation.
Long analysis notes farm voters still sway key corn and wheat belt areas despite a shrinking bloc. It cites price supports, subsidies, and policy moves under Johnson, McNamara, and Wirtz, with California issues cited, including rising costs, imports, and a 16.5 million drop in net income for 1965.
