Vermont Baptist Home to Open for Aging in Brattleboro
The Vermont State Baptist Convention bought a 24 room Brattleboro house to become the Vermont Baptist Home for the Aging. Rev. Homer C. Bryant said occupancy could begin next year and called it a modest purchase for Vermont Baptists' dream of a content and secure community for seniors. In Burlington GE announced about 2.1 percent pay raises for 350 workers plus an eighth holiday, while IUE Local 248 pressed for a three year contract with 2.4 percent annual raises and a new settlement path before the Sept. 15 expiry.
