The Bennington Banner published daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont.
Governor Hoff restarts the Keep Vermonters in Vermont effort to halt the outflow of young residents seeking jobs elsewhere. The piece highlights wage gaps, vocational education gains in Bennington and Mt. Anthony, the Bennington County Industrial Corporation, and Vermont’s rising manufacturing pay as signs of possible reversal, while calling for expanded state and local programs to create jobs and strengthen skills.
The Mt Anthony Union School District held its quiet annual meeting while a year ago emotion ran high over a proposed union school now in full swing. The editor notes a Vermont trend with families returning to the area and Ken Johnston opening a sports shop in Manchester to be near kin. Mental health gains are urged by Dr Jonathan Leopold as the United Counseling Service positions health as a community cornerstone, with Bennington hosting facilities on hospital grounds.
The piece argues that endless talking by politicians blocks progress on Europe’s future. It defends nationalism as a force for good and highlights leaders like Churchill and de Gaulle as examples. It asserts Europe must become Greater Europe through continued Atlantic ties and rejects a unilateral American lead.
Washington reports note De Gaulle’s France resists American influence amid Viet Nam and Caribbean tensions. A Paris professor mocks language changes tied to US terms while bourbon gains status, USDA promotes outdoor grills abroad, and peanut butter spreads in Europe, suggesting retaliation behind the French stance.
A nostalgically comic reminiscence contrasts old fashioned spring cleaning rituals with modern housekeeping. The author recalls rug beating, sunning mattresses, lace curtains, and family labor, arguing that violet picking offers richer pleasure than beating dust with a vacuum. The piece weighs nostalgia against progress, noting cleaner times but lingering affection for the outdoors and violets.
The column discusses Halford Mackinder style geopolitics and sea power in U S foreign policy, noting Lyndon Johnson as a sea beast advocate. It then reports Maryland’s House of Delegates adjournment after a St Patrick's Eve celebration, amid a party and many bills awaiting action, with remarks about Finan and a drunken mood observed in Annapolis.
