Murder in Manchester claims town police chief
A Vermont town reels after the murder of Chief Thompson, a 15-year head of Manchester police, shot in the line of duty. The suspect fled, was later apprehended hitchhiking by Chief Hoag as investigators comb a nearby camp for evidence. Police fear for public safety and consider staffing changes while state police provide routine patrols.

Selectmen approve day care center funding in town budget
Bennington selectmen unanimously included a 4000 dollar appropriation for the Gennington Day Care Center in the 1973 town budget at the urging of center director David Wilkinson and finance chair Chuck O'Leary. The move aims to secure state and federal matching funds totaling about 32,000 dollars and reduce reliance on voter votes for budget stability. The board also approved 2000 dollars for the Bennington County Humane Society and discussed sewer extensions for Old Bennington, town salaries, retirement plans, and a forthcoming executive-session to consider public job candidates.
