Barre Granite Nation’s Riches Turn to Modern Uses
Barre Vermont once produced up to 15 million dollars of granite yearly, supplying tombs and monuments worldwide. The industry, centered in Barre’s vast quarries, faced health risks and stricter environmental laws while expanding into durable roadways and international sculpture work. Local carvers like Clifford Fuller reflect on a career built around the Truman memorial and iconic pieces.

Policewomen prove themselves in tough world of the streets
Washington and other cities expand female patrols amid doubts about strength and credibility. Ann Falkinburg, 5 feet 4 inches, 120 pounds, broke up a fight and was injured, illustrating women officers on duty. Nationwide, 350 to 400 women patrol in about 80 communities, with Washington reporting 170 on patrol. Police leaders note initial chauvinism but generally praise performance as the effort moves beyond trial. Indianapolis first placed women in patrol cars in 1968 with Car 47. now two more cars and eight more women officers exist.
