Fire alarm mix up yanks Bennington crowd to Putnam scene
A misread order at Putnam Memorial Hospital last night triggered a false fire call. Fire departments from Bennington and nearby towns arrived, but gate security stopped responders and the alarm was canceled moments later. Also, village trustees authorized a concrete Elm Street road project funded by state aid up to $1,000.

Ford seen as likely next president by close aides
Close friends say Gerald Ford increasingly views the presidency as moving toward him within the next two years, though he maintains he is not seeking the office. They note his loyalty to Nixon and caution he may curb any public signals of ambition to avoid undercutting the President. Ford's aides credit him with influencing defense and domestic legislation while working quietly with lawmakers, potentially becoming the most activist vice president in history.
