U S Moves Toward Vietnam War De-Escalation
A Farwell youth PFC Steven Laverty is buried after a war death that drew 300 mourners. The piece notes Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's plan to reduce U S combat role in South Vietnam to zero by spring or summer and shift to advisory tasks, while hundreds of thousands remain in country in noncombat roles. It frames de escalation as a beginning, not an end, and warns casualties will continue to mount and the debate over U S involvement persists.

The council also discusses broader health programs and the costs of education rising as districts face tighter budgets.
