The Bennington Banner is issued daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street, Bennington, Vermont 05201. The statement lists the newspaper’s publication schedule and office address.
The Vermont Republican Party chairman Derick V Webb proposes a pre primary convention to screen candidates and name the party endorsed nominee for the primary ballot. He would weight delegates by reapportioned subdistricts plus county and national committee members. The editorial argues this would distance the rank and file from leadership and harm political responsibility, noting past defeats and the ideal of letting voters decide in the primary rather than at caucus.
The piece notes Charles de Gaulle's Quebec address railing at the United States and anti American sentiment. It claims Vermont sits south of Quebec and suggests his remarks target the United States broadly, not just Vermont, while criticizing Canada’s stance. It reflects a wary tone toward Franco American relations and regional sensitivities.
Editor notes anticipation for Bennington Battle Day events on August 13 with a grand parade and varied activities. A Vermont holiday is celebrated locally, with Green Mountain Boys humor and inter faith cultural hopes. Also mentioned is La Strada at a Film Festival and a novel inflatable melon style school building from Hinckley Maine nicknamed Watermelon High.
David Sanford argues in The New Republic that genuine counterculture signals vanish as soon as mainstream appeal popularizes it. In America conformity shifts, with tulips in ears and psychedelic artifacts rapidly turning into consumer items threatening the outsider identity.
The piece analyzes racial tensions amid urban unrest in Newark Plainfield and Detroit. It contrasts long standing white supremacy with a rising Black Power rhetoric, arguing violence is born from denied equality and urging a joint effort to reinvent American identity toward a shared future.
A Time magazine style collage quotes Billy Graham on the War on Poverty shifting from critique to support. It contrasts Stokowski remarks on silence, discusses black white tensions, and argues for black power as self advancement not violence. Yale president Kingman Brewster Jr notes higher education strains while addressing student alienation and race relations.
Ray C Murray of Monument Ave Ext writes to The Banner about rising property taxes in Bennington. He critiques the tax assessment system, calls for a public outline of formulas and authorities, and urges transparent procedures to dispel rumors and ensure equal treatment of taxpayers.
A railroad engineer faces a string of mishaps from cold water to a broken shoelace and burned toast. He hurries to the yards, speeds his train to 90 mph, and toward a collision on the same track, sighing to the fireman about having one of those days. The joke is attributed to the International Teamster.
The Moynihan Report warned of outbreaks of violence in cities, noting two million fatherless Negro families and a breakdown in family structures as core factors. Moynihan, now at Harvard and MIT, argues poverty and discrimination, not segregation, drive unrest, labeling recent riots as class riots. He suggests federal job guarantees and expanded mail delivery as potential remedies while condemning violence and totalitarian overtones.
