The article discusses adding profits to the wage and price freeze and the political risk of noncooperation. Romney Hodgson and Stans indicate support for considering restraints on profits, while Gardner Ackley argues against an excess profits tax. The piece weighs economic logic against political acceptability for extending the policy beyond 90 days.
Vermont officials reevaluate a proposed Windsor prison after bids far exceed the 5.6 million state authorization. Inflation drives cost concerns and fuels a shift toward rehabilitation. The delay buys time for a thorough study of need and alternatives before any legislature vote.
The Letter to the Editor questions The Banner's portrayal of Burlington contractor E F Morrissey and his attorney after a Board of Selectmen meeting. It argues the unfinished Memorial Park recreation center remains largely a shell despite $375,000 paid and $257,000 owed, and asserts Morrissey only seeks payment for his firm’s work.
A Peninsula letter condemns The Banner for insensitive coverage of Ray LeBarron’s 1971 disappearance. It claims police inaction and press bias hinder search efforts while urging constructive reporting and civic action on a local recreational center project.
In Oceanside a father reflecting on his son David and eight siblings, leaving a California beach home, notes the spell of the sea and the pull to act. He recalls Ben Hecht, warns of beach life breeding lethargy, and contrasts narcotic calm with the call to move on, even as President rests nearby.
Vivian Golbin of North Bennington criticizes a Clinton Cox Jr. article on George Jackson and the San Quentin killings. The letter accuses the piece of inaccuracies, bias, and sensationalism, defending MLK and condemning violent rhetoric while warning editors against promoting one-sided leftist propaganda.
The piece laments Labor Day signals and summer’s end in Landgrove, notes migrating birds and school buses, and recalls a long tennis tournament that may be the author’s last. It surveys a frost-damaged garden, lists remaining crops, and critiques organic farming advocacy and media claims, contrasting with Dr. Hursh’s skeptical view on organic foods.
