Maine diocese sets wedding music guidelines policy
Roman Catholic wedding music in Maine will follow new diocese guidelines approved after a three year study. The rules require music to reflect sacramental meaning and Christ focus, allow folk tunes with God references, and urge selections drawn from scripture and liturgical sources without listing specific titles. Couples should consult parish music committees far in advance of their wedding dates.

Welfare trim plan eyed by Hebard in Waterbury
Rep Emory Hebard proposes tightening welfare rules by empowering town service officers and transferring aid to the aged blind and disabled to the federal government. Social Welfare Commissioner Paul Philbrook asks for more staff to curb overpayments and ineligibility as Washington warns 10 percent of welfare recipients are ineligible and 27 percent overpaid risking a $1 million loss in 18 months. The plan faces mixed support from Sen Edward Janeway as the appropriations committees conclude three days of hearings.
