The president aligns with politicians seeking to halt busing for school integration, avoiding moral leadership on a divisive issue. The move likely quiets antibusing clamor but delays an intelligent resolution amid electoral heat and rising opposition.
The President combines a busing moratorium with expanded federal aid for economically disadvantaged districts. The Supreme Court did not demand nationwide racial balance but allowed busing as one of several tools to reduce segregation. The President’s stance risks misrepresenting the court’s role and fuels political misunderstanding.
The White House Office of Environmental Quality projects post 1970s air and water cleanups could total 31 billion dollars, eliminating 50 000 to 125 000 jobs and raising prices while dampening growth. It argues benefits justify costs, noting EPA estimates air pollution damages at 16 billion yearly and proposing subsidies to cushion impact on marginal manufacturers.
Local letters criticize Selectman Clyde Bryant for dictaorial remarks on budget cuts. Readers commend Stan Yecher's proposed trims totaling about 23,920 and warn against deferring projects or raising sewer charges. Patricia Rogers and a supporter group advocate decisive cuts and question town management.
A reader letter cites George Wallace and Nixon as ending fear in Vietnam era politics and calls for backing Wallace for president. It condemns busing and praises white suburbia while recounting racial tensions and riots in Washington.
The Vermont bookmobile, a familiar summer scene and winter fixture, is fading as readers shift to mail order and regional library networks. Bookfetch delivers thousands of titles by mail, reducing costs and extending access to readers, the ill and disabled, while preserving service where travel and snow hinder visits.
Leonard J. Black invites volunteers for a Wednesday March 22 cleanup at Memorial Park and the MCA building area. After winter rubbish, barrels and pails will be provided, with trucks to haul waste to the dump Thursday morning if weather allows. Also plans to repair the old playground office and storeroom damaged by vandals.
The Springfield Union comments that Senator George McGovern and Leonard Greene propose an overhaul of welfare, with Greene’s “fair share” plan promising $2,600 per family of four and heavy tax shifts. It critiques McGovern's support for a capital levy and questions the effect on investment and national work incentives.
