An editorials section notes Vermont economist Dr. Frederick O. Sargent argues for a central agency to coordinate state and local planning efforts. The piece cites overlapping water resource studies and praises Governor Hoff for creating a central planning office to unify long range planning amid a tangled, confusing web of agencies.
Dr. Sargent argues a single office should coordinate all planning in Vermont with the university assisting in collating and guiding plans. The group would report to the governor from Montpelier to translate recommendations into state policy, while seeking to reduce costs and curb plan duplication.
A Vermont delegation supports immediate passage of the Civil Rights Bill of 1963 to honor President Kennedy. Negro leaders in Williams ton North Carolina join national figures in a moratorium on demonstrations until after Christmas, seeking sober, timely action in Congress.
The article argues Kennedy chose Lyndon Johnson as running mate for unity and continuity. It notes Johnson must navigate a deadlocked era at home and abroad, with New Frontier aims stalled, and stresses he must reassess US foreign and defense strategy in light of postwar power realities.
Elizabeth Dwyer notes that high school students train daily in a televised quiz, valuing reading and recall. Greenwich Central High leads the local Schoolhouse program with multi sport athletes and strong academic resumes, while students glimpse peer competition with Hoosick Falls next.
Readers urge a moratorium on Letters to the Editor to curb extremism and rumor. They call for restraint, warn of violence, and cite Kennedy assassination reactions, urging moderation, reform, and focus on civic duty.
A Philadelphia resident protests vandalism of a Sund erland summer house urging law enforcement to act. The letter stresses Vermont values of property respect, warns outsiders’ hooliganism hurts the economy, and calls for focused efforts to deter vandalism and bring culprits to justice.
