The Bennington Banner is published daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont.
The North Bennington trustees fault the League of Women Voters for pushing a new vote on unification, but the piece argues the LWV acted within legal bounds. It contends petitions were circulated by individuals, not solely by the LWV, and defends citizens’ right to petition despite opposition from local officials. The commentary cautions against emotional misstatements and affirms democratic processes.
The Bennington area debates unification of North Village and LWV with North Bennington and Old Bennington. Observers note unclear Rural versus Village support and advocate delaying further votes to September or October. The Banner urges voters to consider key issues and possible changes to the unification act before the June 21 ballot.
Editor notes the Bennington Lloyd Bevins junk yard case keeps changing. After initial denial and a grant, the license is declared invalid and the application process must start anew. The column hopes for insights from local experts and hints at Ed Flynn’s residence.
The piece criticizes Ralph Ginzburg overbearing posturing in obscenity charges, noting his Supreme Court conviction and comparing his tactics to Jeffersonian ideals. It references a Banner photo of Ed with a rattlesnake and discusses a column on alfalfa weevil damage threatening local hay farmers, plus background on mail temptations of a publisher and tasteless publicity schemes.
Washington reports Secretary of Defense McNamara aims to limit Viet Nam war spending to immediate needs. The piece cites stockpile mismanagement, including iron bombs sold for scrap and later bought back, a price surge in quinidine, Dutch cartel involvement, and government barriers harming small firms. It notes congressional concern and a push to avoid a repeat of excess material costs.
A collection of quoted lines from various figures on topics including moral training for youth, belief in God, fashion journalism, civic duty to police, and stockpile policy. The excerpts touch on revolution, love, nudity, fashion trends, legal duties, and stockpiling concerns.
A Chicago legal battle over whether an illegitimate son may sue for denial of legal parentage, inheritance, and stigma cites Roger Taney and historic cases. The Illinois ruling denies standing absent privity or in being at the time of the promise, while a judge speculates on nuclear-age harm and calls for no new rights.
The piece notes Bobby Kennedy endorsing a privately financed self help slum rehabilitation corporation. Dwellers would work on projects and receive wages as stock. Origins trace to Dr. Thomas W. Matthew, who sought non profit interfaith hospital financing in Queens. Irony lies in Kennedy, a Democrat, promoting a private approach once urged by Republicans Rockefeller and Lindsay.
