An editorial urges shifting public behavior to recycling of paper cans and glass, noting volunteers sparked programs in Manchester and Bennington. It praises center access seven days a week, the ease of sorting at home, and the personal benefits of changing habits despite initial nicks like bottle ring removal.
Vermont secretary of state Richard C. Thomas says the new residency rule may have allowed some double voting due to moving within the state. The piece cites a Banner story about Kissinger blocking Connally as secretary of state, notes Braden’s column, and mentions CRASH program sponsors in Bennington. It also notes Agnew weighing a Georgetown move amid Watergate era jitters.

He centralized executive power, faced internal cabinet strains, and maintained strong ties with Nixon while opposing war protests. Salmon succeeds in January.
Tom Braden reports that Kissinger must negotiate tougher terms after a fresh mandate yet bombing and troop options offer little leverage. North Vietnam’s 145000 on the ground and sympathizers abroad limit U.S. leverage, while Nixon’s win changes nothing substantial as both sides stand wiser, exhausted, and ready to repeat past stances. Parody by Joey Adams notes inflation humor amid global tension.
A rural columnist recalls nights when a lit window drew visitors during storms on Route 90. He details deer hunters, a stranded Massachusetts pair, and an oil burner mishap in a ski lodge community. He warns readers to keep lights off after 9 PM in heavy snow, and to avoid midnight knockers.
