approach to learning in the
Distributive Education section of
the Business Education depart­ment,
chaired by Mr. Basil
Karpiak.
All the elements of modern
learning psychology, student self-motivation,
on-the-job training,
student self-evaluation of work
habits and responsibilities, in­dividualized
guidance by the
teacher-coordinator, a dynamic
fusion of school and industry in
the learning process, and rein­forcement
of the student's at­titudes
through the pay-incentive
approach, are found there*
Since Mr. Edward L. Gehl
assumed the position of
Distributive Education Coor­dinator
in Bethpage, over 500
students participated in the
program, and earned more than
a half •million" dollars'. Students
have worked in a wide variety of
businesses, such as department
stores, wholesale establishments,
restaurants, supermarkets,
insurance companies, banks, and
many other service and retail
organizations. Some become-so
enthusiastic with the op­portunities
of the free enterprise
system that they go into business
for themselves.
The Distributive Education
program serves the needs of the
individual in relation to the world
of work. It offers instruction in
the areas of marketing, retailing,
advertising, selling, mer­chandising,
personnel and
business management. Practical
retail learning is gained through
a rotating training program in
the Senior High School Store.
D i s t r i b u t i v e Education
students may be scheduled in an
early- release program, in the
afternoons, to gain on- the- job
experience. Successful superv-sied
related • work activity
enables the students to earn an
additional unit of school credit.
Distributive Education is
adjusted to trends in the business
world, indicative of the con­stantly
' increasing need for

current U.S. economic reports,
over 60 percent of the work force
\& now engaged in distributive
and service occupations. By­product
of the,technological and
scientific advances places
greater emphasis upon the
leisure, service and distributive
industries.

Reliance Opens New Branch
Reliance Federal Savings and
Loan Association will hold a gala
Grand Opening Celebration at
their newest office planned to
begin March 29th in the Herricks
Shopping Center, Williston Park.
The new building, located in the
center of the shopping area, is a
former Woolworth's that was
gutted by fire. Reliance Federal
completely rebuilt the structure
bothlnside and out out and it will
provide them with 6,000 sq. ft. of
modern banking space.
The present Reliance office on
Hillside Avenue will close when
the new office opens, and
although it is just around the
corner from the old office, it will
bring customers a world of dif-ference-
from the much more
spacious interior right down to
the convenient on-site parking.
The interior is a charming mix
of Early American decor along
with the most modern operating
facilities and innovative ideas.
One of these ideas, believed to be
the first of its kind on Long
Island, is the teller area. It has
been designed in a series of sfep-outs
allowing for maximum
customer privacy. The teller
stations are faced with brick and
oak counters creating a warm
colonial effect. The beamed
ceiling, oak panelling, pegged
wood floors, carpeting and colors
in greens, coppers, and reds all
add to the attractiveness. An
interior, highlight is the river-jacks
stone wall in the vault area.
The public is invited to attend
the grand opening celebration
starting March 29. 'During the
first 3 days, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, there will be a
Treasure Chest of prizes and
everyone has a chance to be a
winner. The month-fang
celebration includes the choice of
many free gifts for opening or
adding to a savings account, and
a free registration for a Grand
Prize drawing for four Sony color
television sets. There will also be
souvenirs for all visitors to the
new Herricks Shopping Center
office.
