The Bennington Banner is a daily newspaper issued by Banner Publishing Corporation located at 425 Main Street, Bennington Vermont, excluding Sundays and holidays.
The editorial argues the April 1 1965 reapportionment deadline is realistic only if legislative and executive leaders begin work immediately. It urges cooperation between the blue ribbon committee and a legislative panel to avoid turmoil and support orderly government action. The piece also weighs Cuba U S tension and Raul Castro's overture as a forthcoming diplomatic window.
The author finds a rooftop retreat on Cape Cod in shingles and cedar scent. The piece contrasts crowded shore life with quiet ceaseless tapping of nails and birds, noting shingling eases effort and offers a fresh start with every stroke. The essay questions cedar siding as a lasting Cape tradition and hints at a broader coastal habit.
The piece argues the Harlem disorders are primarily a police matter for New York City, not a national politics issue. It warns the Cow Palace platform worsens racial tensions by ignoring unredressed grievances in housing, jobs, and schools and attracting white supremacist support.
William H. Jacobsen of North Pownal writes about the wage cuts and union representation at the Green Mountain Park pari mutuel department. He accuses Industrial Relations Commissioner Louis Lavin of one sided handling and alleges intimidation during signatures for the Teamsters and Building Service employees unions. He commends The Banner for its past coverage and calls for fair play and public oversight.
A Vermont reader reports increased highway traffic since March with early morning truck noise. Governor Hoff replies that state police and the Highway Department will act, local enforcement as needed, and that protection for towns must balance highway commerce. The letter also discusses national political matters and public responsibility across government levels.
A columnist argues the press biases Goldwater and Nixon, notes Goldwater’s extremism remarks and the split GOP. He questions two kinds of liberty and justice, cites coverage by AP and UPI, and critiques the portrayal of Goldwater’s stance.
Capitol Jottings notes a split in Vermont as Republicans resist Goldwater’s nomination. Vermont leaders and voters weigh unity against principle while figures like Janeway Foote and Mallary express cautious support or doubt, with local officials predicting mixed impact on Hoff’s bid.
