Editorial argues that growing regional needs justify merging Bennington Village and North Bennington water departments under a single administration. It notes legal deed restrictions from private benefactors complicating joint operation and suggests court relief might be sought to harmonize operations while expanding the Bolles Brook project to more than double the town’s water supply.
Editor notes Rep. David Allen proposes a fair housing measure for panthers entering Vermont from Canada granting them year round protection. The piece questions property values and hunters rights while urging enlightened lawmakers to back animal protection despite opposition as 1966 ends with Bennington budget challenges. It also highlights BCHS scoreboards funded for fresh Athletes and ends with Secretary Rusk comment on bombing as peaceful effort.
Washington debates a barrier across the 17th parallel to block infiltration from the north into South Vietnam and Laos. Advocates cite Westmoreland's 7000 monthly infiltration estimate and argue the barrier, backed by Laos cooperation, could reduce bombing and shift toward negotiation while mounting costs and troop needs are challenged.
The text assembles quotes criticizing FM radio regulation and FCC intent, a critique of American education and white supremacy tied to Black education, a protest in New York City over a white principal in a largely minority school, a note on detection devices aiding response with low cost, and a historical view on Mekong Delta commitment suggesting a broader American war impact, ending with a colonial clash analogy.
The piece surveys Bertrand Russell's push to try Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara for war crimes in Europe, noting Russell’s past support for preventive atomic warfare and questioning his anti American stance. It recalls a 1940 New York City protest over his NYU appointment, the Barnes lectures, and wartime tensions that shaped his reputation as an anti American figure.
A local writer urges inventive disposal of refuse using future biodegradable sprays and a lead-lined mausoleum for dangerous cans.
