Boston based Bank of Boston seeks to acquire Martha’s Vineyard National Bank, drawing 1800 island petitions and the formation of Friends of Island Banks. Islanders fear centralization and loss of local initiative while Bank of Boston defends the offer as ordinary growth. Martha’s Vineyard Gazette editor Henry Beetle Hough weighs in on the issue.

Dollar and gold advance on world markets in early trading
The dollar strengthened on foreign exchange markets amid hints of sustained high U.S. interest rates and Middle East conflict. Gold breached 400 an ounce, with dealers setting 402.40 in London and bids around 402.50 in Zurich and 403.89 in Hong Kong. Silver rose to 9.68 in London. The dollar reached new highs versus the franc and lire, with gains versus the mark and near its peak against the pound. A 1.6 billion rise in the U.S. money supply helped lift dollar demand.
