Rev Rennie collapses and dies before Lenten Mass
In New York Overill Park, Rev. George B. Rennie, 63, assistant pastor of St. Henry's Church, collapsed and died while preparing a Lenten Mass. He had been under doctor care for months. Assembly Republicans defeated a Democratic bill to raise the minimum wage to 1.50 an hour, citing tax-funded subsidies to sweatshops. Governor Rockefeller had backed gradual raises to 1.15 by Oct 15 and 1.25 in 1964. The Assembly also blocked a Democratic effort to reestablish a state constitutional revision commission, a move linked to Rockefeller's prior commission.

Russian chosen as second modern language at Mt. Greylock
Mt Greylock Regional High School will offer Russian as the second modern foreign language replacing German. The change was approved at a school committee meeting with a full-time Russian teacher to be hired. Latin and French remain. German enrollments were very low. Russian is described as more exciting and valuable due to its scientific and political thought globally. In Pittsfield, a public meeting on the water supply drew only four attendees beyond officials. Dr Harold Stein urged chlorination and noted safe water while proposing an annual spring flushing to improve taste and odor.
