The editorial urges a quick White House meeting between Barry Goldwater and President Johnson to keep civil rights from inflaming the presidential campaign. It warns that Goldwater's stance may push extremism, risking a summer of disorder amid New York riots and a broader social upheaval. It also discusses Vermont labor unrest at Green Mountain Park, unions, and a call for worker-led ballots to choose representation.
The piece condemns Barry Goldwater's extremism remarks, arguing they threaten law and order. It contrasts private violence with state authority, cites Eisenhower’s response, and urges Americans to defend due process and civil order amid racial tensions and violent rhetoric.
North Bennington notes water safety push as summer leisure grows. Local programs from YMCA and Red Cross teach thousands to swim at Lake Paran with free lessons for children and lifeguard training for teens. A sports hero recalls a life saving test miscue over spelling artificial respiration.
Letters discuss choosing a high school site by public poll, opposing repeated bond proposals, and weighing flood risks at Soldiers’ Home vs Town Farm. Readers urge practical study, new sites, and broader input while defending press coverage of national political events and advocating moderation.
