Editorial urges a yes vote in six area districts to finance Mt. Anthony Union High School. It argues the 1.65 million bond will create a Grades 9 through 12 regional high school with 700 to 900 students, long term cost efficiency, and stronger educational opportunities for the community.

It bases its critique on selective testimony from bomb proponents like Teller Ward and Johnson, while sidelining advocates of a ban.

The piece notes Canadian reaction and ends with a Maine reader quotation on evolution.
The piece argues that Britain may be kept out of the European Economic Community for two years to allow Europe to set agricultural tariffs and levies, potentially shaping a closed, self-contained bloc under French leadership with German support.

Letters to the editor urge support for a proposed union high school bond issue.
