The Bennington Banner is issued daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street, Bennington Vermont 05201, serving as the local newspaper for Bennington and surrounding communities.
Editorial notes a shift among Vermont uncommitted delegates toward Gov. Jimmy Carter after his Pennsylvania primary victory. Humphrey's withdrawal leaves room for a Carter surge, with longtime Democratic workers re-evaluating who best represents the party and its labor allies.
Analysis says Carter appears unstoppable with Humphrey fading and Udall as a potential balance in a Carter Udall ticket. Udall’s liberal left base is shrinking but he could shore up Carter’s Southern image, creating a potentially winning Democratic combination against President Ford.
The piece weighs President Ford’s push for budget restraint against his support for sizable private sector wage settlements including Teamsters deals and looming talks by rubber and electrical workers. It argues restraint should apply to both public spending and private sector wages to avoid a new inflationary cycle.
A citizen letter to The Banner questions Capriola embezzlement charges, claiming restitution to clients while noting employment dates. The text also references author Spencer Klaw and Hubert Humphrey, describing political doubts, past defeats, and personal crises shaping his career path.
Former vice president hubert humphrey says he will not seek the presidential nomination, citing health and timing. He intends an active campaign for senator reelection and for Carter, aiming to unify the democrats and avoid past divisions while guiding labor support and northern battlegrounds in a bid against the republicans.
A Letter To The Banner argues that alcohol and other drugs have long been available and that scientific advances increase adult dependence. It states the community can influence youth outcomes not by restricting access but by shaping responses to drug perils and leveraging local resources.
Community leaders scholars and officials outline a unified approach to alcohol and drug problems. United Counseling Service provides treatment specialists and a Youth Information Center for prevention and child outreach. Emphasizes consistent policies, parental school public involvement, and broader cooperation to protect children.
Clifford N. Austin of Simmonds Precision Vergennes urges Hon. Patrick J. Leahy to counter a view that B-1 production would cost little impact in Vermont. He cites 200 Vermont jobs, $100 million in sales and $20 million payroll, with staged growth from 1976 to 1981, and details on fuel systems.
The Vermont Governor's Council of Economic Advisors outlines regional mini-economies, energy reliance, and the impact of wages and costs on Vermont's growth. It highlights underemployment, seasonal work, and calls for housing, training, and public investment while noting leadership changes may stall action into 1976.
