Education and training urged to boost Vermont growth
Paul Greeley, an industrial research engineer, urged intensified education and early career training for American youth to compete with Europe. He compared European systems with the U.S., noting apprenticeships, early craft choices, and paid but minimal training, arguing Americans lack on the job experience and pride in workmanship. He warned of job losses and warned that without reform, the nation risks becoming a second-rate power.

Officials Work Toward Pollution Abatement at Vermont Tissue Plant
Vermont Water Resources Board joined local officials this week in Bennington to study waste water from Vermont Tissue Paper Co. Inc. The plant uses hydro pulping to recycle waste paper into tissue and generates colloidal waste that colors the Walloomsac River. Tests with coagulants are planned though 350000 gallons of water daily may make full settlement impractical.
