Bennington County town meetings produced mixed zoning results. Manchester rejected a zoning ordinance, Pownal declined to empower a planning commission, and Sunderland saw no clear action on general zoning or roadside-sign regulation. Bennington voted against a regional planning commission, while Winhall Peru and Shaftsbury authorized studies. Landgrove’s simple zoning contrasts with broader needs, and several towns approved planning or zoning in Strafford, Hartford, Weybridge, Hartland, Norwich, West Windsor, Randolph, Ferrisburg, Stowe, and Barton. Experts warn against overinterpreting trends, yet demand for prudent land use grows as patterns shift.
Prospects for East-West talks in Geneva to limit atmospheric nuclear tests look brighter after Khrushchev accepts ministerial level talks and a premeeting of foreign ministers. Yet a comprehensive moratorium remains unlikely as both sides fear losing lead in arms, with world opinion pressuring restraint.
The essay argues that despite slim odds for a treaty, a Geneva conference is vital to keep nuclear powers in contact and avoid a dangerous diplomatic blackout. It contrasts Anglo American unity with French skepticism and explains Khrushchev’s stance on testing and the risk of accelerating the nuclear race.
The piece notes William H. Meyer has spoken little on international affairs and Red China recognition. It argues Adlai Stevenson’s U N role shifted the Democratic party leftward, prompting questions about consistency and truth in liberal positions.
Benjamin Banulis urges voters to oppose Trustee Henry Mallory who filed Article 7 to reassert a ban on mobile homes in R zones. He recalls a 722 to 486 referendum affirming residents' right to live in mobile homes and calls for public protest at the March 20 meeting.
Harold F. Blaisdell will pen a national magazine article on Clyde River walleye fishing near Newport and Lake Memphragma gog. The piece notes a run from April 25 to May 1, a ten fish Clyde limit, and patrols by Game Warden Scott Bowden to enforce regulations.
A Vermont note recounts ice fishing trials with walleyes in the Clyde and notes on gun safety and accidental discharges. It also covers 60 barry Barre wardens urging public awareness of the deer dog problem as winter ends and deer move in spring, risking dog predation.
Richard K. Curtis’s full length Moody biography is examined, noting Moody’s mass appeal and methods. The critique highlights Moody’s focus on personal salvation over social gospel, his marketing tactics, and the book’s devotional tone versus broader historical context. It recommends Weisberger’s alternative for more critical perspective.
