Red Cross marks safety program with annual Middletown dinner
The Red Cross sets its Dutch Treat dinner for June 8 at the American Legion Lodge to mark the 50th anniversary of water safety instruction in the United States. James M. Patt, chapter chairman, notes a 6:30 p.m. dinner and invites the public, with reservations through Friday at Red Cross headquarters. The history traces water safety efforts from Wilbert Longfellow’s early 20th century push to Middletown’s local chapters and ongoing cooperation with local groups and schools.

Rockefeller challenged on home front
In Albany, Governor Rockefeller faces a quiet but firm battle for delegates to the Republican national convention as anti-Rockefeller groups contest seats across at least 10 of New York’s 41 districts. The fight shapes up ahead of Tuesday’s primary, with Young and Wilson steering the campaign while formal delegation rules award two per district plus at-large and bonus votes.
