Dollar crisis eases as markets hold dollar gains
The dollar strengthened slightly on a thin nervous market in Bonn but buyers did not rush to convert West German marks. The decline over the weekend, from 2 to 7 percent, ends the worst currency crisis in two years, though the dollar remains at its lowest in two decades. In Holland the dollar opened at 3.545 guilders, Belgium saw 49.30 francs, and in Switzerland the devalued dollar rose to a high as demand edged up.

Teachers motions to set aside contingency fund for raises
Members of the high school union spoke in favor of deferring a $30,000 contingency for teacher pay raises and adjourning until negotiations end. A Resolution praising the Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union led by Corcoran drew loud applause and one dissent. The measure passed as the Bennington School District board clash continued. Voters re elected incumbents to the union board and added a new director in Pownal, while Bennington re elected Clyde Burgess Jr. and North Bennington kept Robert McWaters. Floor officers were re elected and pay for officers remained unchanged. Article 5 on the warning prompted anticipation for the budget vote.
