A reader letter criticizes Vermont voting procedures as confusing and inconsistent. It notes voters must check their names on lists, laments vague interpretations by the secretary of state and attorney general, and urges reform for clear uniform guidance to town clerks and officials.
The GAO reported recurring unsanitary conditions in U S poultry processing, faulting the Agriculture Department for weak day to day enforcement. Inspectors noted dirt floors cobwebs and other hygiene lapses across numerous plants, risking consumer safety and raising questions about inspection adequacy before Thanksgiving.
An evaluative profile of John Lindsay as a presidential candidate, contrasting his strong oratory and reform rhetoric with questions about actual governing ability. The piece notes Wagner’s mayoral style, Lindsay’s management, and New York City’s stalled housing, road work, sanitation, and police issues amid federal funding debates.
Letters to The Banner discuss a brisk News from Home issue and a stronger balance sheet, plus maintenance plans led by Phyllis Agard and David Dorman. A Vermont voting incident follows, detailing Anne Senft’s misrouted registration check and the 1970 versus 1971 checklist confusion for the Nov 16 special election.
A steel fence with a wide gate is erected at Beech Court back yard between north and south side apartments, complemented by lilac shrubbery. Volunteers, MAUHS students under the Bennington Program, and Mike Silver oversee renovations at Beech Court and BenMont properties including porch, stairs, electrical work, insulation, and planned apartment upgrades. David Jareckie and Dr. Donald Humphreys provide oversight and consulting. The Tenants' Association hosts a Halloween party and launches a new newsletter edited by Mrs. Ellen Coyne. Apartment 12 will house a HOME Inc. office and a small manager’s suite. VP Einar Michaelsen resigns amid workload.
The article argues Vermonters should balance the deer herd with winter forage by culling surplus does and by forest practices that boost sprout and seedling growth. It compares biologist and forester views, highlights shelterwood logging as a path to denser young growth, and notes economic and wildlife benefits from improved methods, with future columns promised.
Dr. Hendrik Houthakker of Harvard notes Nixon policy makers studied European incomes policies and found none achieved full employment with price stability. He suggests that moving ahead on a known unsolved path is just motion economics and recalls Roosevelt's NRA hoopla as a cautionary parallel.
The piece analyzes Nixon Phase Two and the NRA's fate amid wage policy fights led by Big Labor, noting Meany's power to block actions and Friedman on wage inflation. It urges that Nixon may escalate a political end run while Congress advances a National Right to Work bill with bipartisan co sponsors. A car salesman parable ends the excerpt.
