Village trustees voted to extend the no parking zone on the east side of North Street and to ban parking on the west side of South Street from Elm Street to the village limits. A delay is expected before signs are ordered and installed, as officials prepare ordinances and advise motorists. Local officials also discussed police department procedures, parking rearrangements at the Armory lot, and possible staffing changes, with action to follow after reviews.

Planning Too Important To Be Left to Professionals Says
OLD BENNINGTON An authority on planning told garden clubbers in the Old Bennington schoolhouse that planning is too important to be left to professionals. Dr. Frederic O. Sargent of the University of Vermont urged laymen to lead, arguing volunteers create new ideas and preserve aesthetic values while professionals tie projects together and do the hard work. He warned that leaving planning to experts could spawn sprawling megaregions and harm scenic and environmental goals, citing local Burlington efforts to protect Lake Champlain and oppose highway beltlines. The meeting, led by Mrs. Linda Tilgner, highlighted a Urban Land Institute study predicting 60 percent of Americans will live in the Northeast by 2000.
