An old memory essay explores store money once used by rural shops, contrasting cash with store credit. A farmer recalls a day taking cash for tomatoes and a tale of a beechnuts sale, where a mysterious woman offered beechnuts priced at fifty cents, settled with cash, and left no trace who she was.
The Banner published a reader letter noting Jimmy Carter's poll shows 44 percent oppose the B-1 Bomber and 27 percent support with undecided rest. The writer states lobbyists press for bomber production and that he has sent a letter to the next president referencing Carter's Vermont Democratic dinner remarks regarding forthright judgment on the B-1 program.
The letter and editorials question the B-1 bomber's value and urge shifting national priorities to people over military might. A presidential commission recommends 50 percent pay raises for about 2,400 federal executives, including Cabinet officers and Congress members, to retain talent amid private sector competition.
A critique of public pay scales arguing higher compensation for senior executives yields better outcomes, while conservative and liberal tensions hinder optimal government staffing. It asserts that talent leaves when underpaid and that pay correlates with value, noting Washington’s dedication and the need for better incentives in senior roles.
At a public hearing in Montpelier, sheriffs push for a stronger state system funded and equipped to handle enforcement without creating a full state police force. Sheriff Flint argues Vermont’s small area hinders such a system and criminals could flee to neighboring states.
