A local recycling committee may shut the North Bennington sheds near Lake Paran after vandalism. The piece urges youths to consider conservation, voluntary effort, and community responsibility, noting volunteers run the program and a North Adams hauler collects materials.
Proposals to repurpose about 300,000 idle U.S. school buses for mass transit are discussed. In Bennington several buses could serve non school needs, as the fleet there is not school owned and voter approval might be possible. The idea merits exploration for daytime commuter runs amid gasoline shortages.
Boston craft group Polyarts plans a Merry Nixon Christmas Card and gift stocking campaign promising to collect greetings for the President. The idea targets Massachusetts residents amid national jokes about the White House occupant, inviting simple, “appropriate” messages to Washington.
The Putnam Square Cynic, while Christmas shopping on foot, voices concern about U S politics citing Nixon tape recorder issues and gas and oil shortages hitting the Northeast. He jokes about oil in the South and calls for attention beyond electronic troubles.
Letter to the Banner disputes an editorial on New England Telephone and clarifies Vermont plans. It notes a Nov 13 company announcement of a 22.9 million construction program for 1974 in Vermont after a 4.4 million reduction, and compares borrowing costs around 8 to 9 percent with a 6 percent earnings rate, arguing the price of capital undermines service funding.
A Bennington reader argues New England Telephone should seek rate relief to maintain quality service as costs double since 1958 while local charges remained constant for 15 years. The letter also criticizes energy waste in stores during an energy crisis and defends the company president’s Vermont salary as reasonable.
Washington notes that General Alexander Haig plans to testify to the Senate if summoned about the events surrounding the Saturday night massacre. He recalls Nixon aiming to compromise on the tapes and to fire Archibald Cox with Haig coordinating legal steps, including a Stennis compromise and later a cease and desist approach. Richardson’s shifting ideas and Harlow’s pressure influenced the plan, while Haig emphasizes his career and calls for a Senate hearing to evaluate his role.
A reflective slice of holiday living recounts Thanksgiving guests including birds at Skylark and a family gathering with Walter Hilma Joanne and Janet heading to Bermuda Colorado and other plans.
