The Bennington Banner is a daily Vermont newspaper issued by Banner Publishing Corporation from 425 Main Street Bennington. It notes publication schedule excluding Sundays and holidays.
Rep. Stafford urged tripling federal education aid once Vietnam peace is achieved. He cited $4 billion this year, predicting $10-12 billion postwar amid high defense costs. He warned ongoing war pressures keep education as a local state burden despite calls for national prioritization.
The column blends sports and local civic insights. It notes Boston’s momentum in the World Series, Yaz’s optimistic seven-game prediction, and Bowmaker’s Cardinals in six call. It also covers Mt Anthony Union High School open house, traffic safety near the school, a tax dialogue between VESTORS and Gov Hoff, and nurses association anniversaries with Well Baby Clinic programs.
Reverend Richard Lawton responds to Ed Bowmaker's critique of school spirit in the Anthony Rutland game era. He defends Sacred Heart St Francis joint seventh/eighth grade program and notes use of BCHS gear, calls for unity, and highlights boys learning organized football. He laments community disunity and pleads for support to equip jerseys and sustain local youth football efforts.
A resident endorses Byron Harrington for speaking openly against The Banner editorials, claiming they misrepresent local opinion. Kathleen Doyle of Leonard Street signs the letter to the editor.
The writer details a leaf peeping drive through Vermont with stops at Calvin Coolidge’s Plymouth homestead and the Shelburne Museum.

They return to Skylark as frost arrives, contemplating green tomato storage and canning plans.
A resident voices outrage over Division Street slum conditions in Bennington, detailing rat infestations that enter bedrooms and gnaw furniture. She appeals for immediate improvements, noting cheap rents lure families with babies, and urges painting and repairs. Mrs M J Federico at 125 LeBlanc St signs the plea.
A nationwide survey of conversations from coast to coast shows white middle class anxiety over rising costs taxes crime and fear of racial tension. Voters express fatigue with Vietnam war coverage and prefer a candidate advocating a return to past values to restore confidence amid looming 1968 campaign tensions.
