The Bennington Banner is published daily except Sundays and holidays by the Banner Publishing Corporation located at 425 Main Street in Bennington Vermont.
Bennington wins a state grant to fund a large portion of an water system extension and eyes federal subsidies for low rent housing. Officials credit regional planning progress, noting a two month plan finish and the need for unified water supply and housing codes before aid. County towns urged to start countywide planning once Manchester approves.
Mt Anthony Union School board members discuss resignations handed in five weeks before school starts. They argue teachers leaving for better positions did not announce plans earlier, urging early searching and commitment. Late resignations complicate hiring and fuel faculty raiding as districts seek replacements.
The Brattleboro traffic on U.S. 5 averaged 9,344 vehicles daily before the I-91 bypass, while total daily volume reached 16,294 with I-91 in use. Bennington’s U.S. 7 traffic last year stood at 10,835, about 1,500 more than Brattleboro’s pre bypass level, arguing for bypass needs in both towns. Harriet M. Davis announced a bid for the legislature in sub district 3.
John Chamberlain argues Captive Nations Week passed with July, criticizing U S policy toward Warsaw Prague Budapest and Bucharest. He cites lack of progress on human rights in East Central Europe, citing Polish writers jailed and executed, Czech dissidents expelled from the Academy, and limited freedom of movement and religion in Bulgaria Poland and Hungary. He calls for reciprocal human rights concessions alongside trade talks.
In Arlington the push to place an access road on U.S. 7 relies on an electronic computer analysis of traffic data. The writer questions the figures and stresses that human judgment should guide decisions, noting 1953 data and a possible route via Vermont 313. A ghostly warning about 1990 plans closes the piece.
Republican leaders plan an intensive campaign across New York with thousands of volunteers led by Governor Rocke Rockefeller as he seeks re election. The piece notes Burlington Vermont aldermen backing fair housing and condemning discrimination in a historic vote while praising human dignity.
In a 10 to 1 vote, aldermen rejected sidewalk construction on Prospect Parkway citing lawn aesthetics and property values over children’s safety, with Alderman George Little the lone dissenter who argued for safer streets.
