Editorial outlines progress on Union High School District No. 14 and a possible elementary merge of Bennington Graded School District and Greater Bennington Schools Inc. The plans would create a single senior high for grades 9 to 12, convert Bennington High into a junior high, reallocate spaces at Molly Stark School, and shift Grades 7-9 accordingly. If merged, village and rural districts would share debt and taxes, reduce overhead, and centralize operations as discussions continue for a possible late-year vote.
Vermont congressman Robert T. Stafford reversed his previous stance to back the Kennedy administration on keeping the House Rules Committee at 15 members. The vote reflected a shift from his 12 member position two years earlier and followed concerns about power and procedural tactics in Congress.

The letter describes DATA International as a stay-at-home Peace Corps that connects American volunteers with global problems.
