Jamaicans Boost Vermont Apple Crops Through Migrant Labor
Dick Montondo of Southern Vermont Orchards says Jamaica n fruit pickers fill most of his seasonal labor, with about 40 workers expected next week. He notes locals are scarce, migrants average 60 to 80 bushels daily, some reach 160. The federal stance on foreign pickers shifts amid a lawsuit by the Shoreham Cooperative Apple Producers Association claiming 300 are needed to avoid losses of 190000 bushels worth 1.3 million dollars.

Smith wins election and backs peace blueprint
Salisbury Rhodesia Prime Minister Ian Smith won a total mandate with his Rhodesian Front capturing all 50 white seats and a two thirds majority. He said he would consider the Anglo American peace plan, which envisions a six month U.N. peacekeeping role, transition to independence in 1978, and an internal settlement excluding the Patriotic Front. Smith noted some elements were unexpected while he pursues his ongoing internal settlement as a second option.

Washington announced a two week postponement of cabinet level discussions with the Soviet Union on curbing the strategic weapons race. Cyrus Vance and Andrei Gromyko will now meet in Washington on Sept 22-23 rather than in Geneva. A separate reason cited was the Pan American Union ceremony in Washington with Latin American leaders.
