The Bennington Banner, issued daily except Sundays and holidays, is published by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street in Bennington Vermont.
A Bennington town representative explains his vote for the Cutts resolution. He says the Supreme Court rightly stepped into a state matter and urges reapportionment to fix malapportioned Vermont districts while opposing measures that would keep 11 percent of the population controlling policy. The piece endorses court-led reform and broader representation.
Concord Daily Monitor notes a failing ski season as weather curtails demand. State facilities Sunapee and Cannon Mountain show a one third drop from last year, $154,119 to $101,849. Private operators fear another bust this weekend without snow and hope for late season recovery. New Hampshire favors state led recreation to bolster the economy while Vermont relies on private investment.
The piece contrasts Vermont and New Hampshire winter conditions with a sharp social take on modern ski resorts. It argues recreation has become about nonstop activity and amenities rather than pure skiing, noting Vermont has seen more snow and favoring heated pools, skating rinks, and hotel comforts as central to the resort experience.
The Banner editor receives a missive from Rep Van Santvoord defending his stance on Vermont reapportionment. He asserts support for court-ordered reforms, notes his role on the Reapportionment Committee, and criticizes delays caused by court deadlines and changing rulings while urging patience and deferring to legislative effort. He mentions the Cutts Resolution as imperfect and unlikely to succeed.
Mrs. Gulley asks if Green Acres will receive village services under consolidation and if the $20 000 water sinking fund will fund expansion. Officials say services should be uniform across areas, the sinking fund is village only and not a substitute for town funding, and a detailed plan would follow bond approval and federal aid.
A Washington analysis outlines President Johnson’s view of press limits amid Viet Nam crisis. It notes his desire for controlled information, preference for weekly State Department press conferences, and belief that public scrutiny can hinder peace efforts while acknowledging broader policy goals and poverty programs shaping federal action at the county level.
For the Record outlines how groups such as Those Busy Bureaucrats Thomas Davis and Vermont officials seek local action through federal aid programs like Title I libraries and instructional centers. It stresses local planning, tests for disadvantaged children, and the need for state boards and regional labs, with Vermont allocations totaling various sums and the aim to prevent mere hand-to-mouth poverty solutions. The piece closes with a Capper's Weekly joke about misdialed telephone assistance.
