The Bennington Banner provides daily news except Sundays and holidays from 125 Main Street in Bennington Vermont 05201. It is published by Banner Publishing Corporation and serves the local community with regional coverage.
Editorial notes the urgency of U S economic policy as Carter presents tax cut and job building proposals before his inauguration. The plan spans two years with permanent deductions and a one time rebate, plus a focus on 800000 publicly financed jobs by fall 1978, signaling a shift from campaign positions.
Congratulations to the Mt Anthony Union High School music department and students for their honors at the All New England competition in Boston. Teachers at MAU and private instructors receive commendation for their part in the students' success. The community reflects pride in these achievements amid Vermont weather turmoil and cooperative storm clean up.
The discussion covers President Carter embracing public sector work to reduce unemployment, while risking budget goals and health reform promises. It notes economist objections to tax cuts, stimulus plans, and cites Vermont storm-response contrasts and corrections to a reporter’s notebook. It also highlights local Vermont political detail and praise for the Burr & Burton gymnasium opening and BBS basketball showcase.
A defense of traditional family roles citing Lenin and biblical verses. It argues family unity as the core strength of America, with leaders in the father and maternal care, warning against liberal attacks on marriage and parental authority. The piece frames dictatorship as targeting the family to weaken society.
Elizabeth W. Wilczynski writes to the Banner urging Burr and Burton Board of Trustees to retain the music program at the Seminary in Manchester Center Vermont. She argues the program costs little, boosts student growth, fosters community pride, aids in collaboration across schools, and supports All-State participation. Letters to the Editor must include signature and address.
A reflective piece blends seed catalog dreams of spring with the town’s annual audit routine. The narrator imagines gardens and seeds, then shifts to auditing town books with colleagues, finding humor in the jumble of ledgers, before noting the year ends amid liberal political reflections on Carter’s Cabinet selections and the broader era. The narrative preserves individuals, places, and actions without sensational detail.
Tom Braden critiques Carter as conservative and populist lacking. He laments absence of independent voices or bold ideas in a cabinet he sees as cautious, veteran, and predictable, likening it to George Allen’s Redskins. He hoped for more Whitmanlike defiance and reform.
