Bennington Banner is published daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont with standard local news and community notices for the region.
The Bennington editorial clashes airport expansion with the union high school funding. Voters face a $50 000 town share of a 185 000 project to extend to 3 500 feet, while a regional high school is decided soon after. The piece argues the school is far more important and notes the runway’s limited immediate benefit and lack of subsidy prospects.
The piece argues postponing a 4,000 foot runway extension is prudent as aviation faces industry turmoil. It notes current local use by firms is limited and future growth depends on broader economic and safety factors. Education, not aviation, is the lingering priority with a July 1 dissolution deadline for Union School District No. 14 if bonds fail.
Burlington Free Press notes Republicans discuss Lauris Norstad former NATO supreme commander as a possible presidential rival to John F. Kennedy in 1964. Norstad now leads the international division of a manufacturing firm and could unite the party for a fresh challenge.
In the New Republic piece, the New York newspaper strike forces readers to seek substitutes for the Times. Washington papers like the Post Star and Scripps-Howard News offer only partial solace, while the Philadelphia inquire skews content. The author argues Time and Newsweek maintain a valued audience amid chaos.
The article argues congressional opposition to Kennedy era foreign aid grows as population growth outpaces economic gains. It notes Latin America’s rising birth rates, Vatican policy limits, and the need for population control within aid strategies, with leaders like Passman Mansfield and Fulbright skeptical of optimistic funding claims.
A letter from LANDGROVE discusses weighted votes for representatives as proposed by Mendon and Burlington. The writer argues against proportional weighting and asks for a robust defense of democracy principles from Toqueville, Madison, Hamilton, Jefferson, and Franklin, extending the debate to the U.S. Senate.
Letters discuss education policy and union high schools in Vermont towns including Bennington and Manchester. Contributors urge informed voting, cite Channel 26, educational television, and demand state support for a modern high school and a unified plan. A Kodiak bear hunting anecdote from Alaska closes the page.
