John Coughlin New
Community President
John T. Coughlin, who began
his banking career 35 years ago
as a $12-a-week page boy, has
been named president of The
Community Bank which has of-fices
in Lynbrook and West
Hempstead. He succeeds veter-an
banker William A. Kielmann
who has announced his retire-ment
as an officer of the Bank.
According to Herbert Busch-man,
Chairman of Community's
Board, Mr. Coughlin, who res-igned
from the post of Executive
Vice President of Queens Na-tional
Bank of New York in 1960
to help organize Community
Bank, will assume his new office
on July 1st when Mr. Kielmann's
retirement becomes effective.
Mr. Coughlin rose in the bank-ing
field through the ranks. In
1931 when he was 16 years old
and a junior at. Richmond Hill
High School, he was forced by
economic conditions in his family
to transfer to night school so he
could take a page boy's job at
Guarantee Trust Co. For six
years, he worked in the f i r m 's
Trust Accounting Department, to
become head of the Unit which
employed a group of bookkeepers
and other personnel. He contin-ued
his education at the American
Institute of Banking and by taking
a variety of other courses dealing
with finance.
In 1938, two years after he
married the former Audrey Mc
Nevin of Ridgewood, Long Island,
Mr. Coughlin joined Queens Na-tional
as a member of the Transit
Department. In the succeeding
22 years, he rose, through the
ranks, to the second highest of-fice
in the Bank and membership
on the Board and Chairman of
its Executive Committee.
From June of 1960 till the
Community Bank began opera-tions,
Mr. Coughlin worked to
establish the institution which
now calls itself "The home-owned,
home-managed bank".
When Community opened i ts
doors on August 15, 1960, he be-came
Executive Vice President.
The Coughlin family has ap-parently
sunk its roots into the
Unity Picnic Dr. Herber To Retire
Unity Party of Lynbrook is
sponsoring an old-fashioned
Picnic on June 18th (Saturday) at
Greis Park to which all resi-dents
of Lynbrook are invited.
Publicity Chairman, Lester
Forest, announced that the time
of the fun-fest is set for 1 p.m.
to 5 p.m. so that residents could
do their shopping in the village
in the morning and spend the
entire afternoon at the Park which
is located at Horton Avenue, north
Oi the Long Island Railroad
tracks.
The President of Unity, Ber-nard
Dunn, expressed the hope
that whole families would come
down. Special races and activi-ties
are planned for children
with prizes in their events, and
for the adults, well, if the grown-ups
want to play games that will
be arranged too! Of course,
what is a picnic without hot
dogs and soda, and there will
be other refreshments; door p r i -
zes will be drawn at 4:30 p.m.
For those residents who have
never been to the picnic grove at
Greis Park there is a treat in
store for them because by unani-mous
acclaim this picnic area is
beautiful. Once introduced to it
— and it is just about in every-one's
backyard - - one would plan
to go there on their own during
the summer. Those who have
been there will no doubt look
forward to be there again.
Write it on your calendar
-— June 18th — Unity Party's
Picnic.

Announcement was made this
week that Dr. Howard T. Herber
Superintendent of Schools in Mal-verne
School District 12, had ad-vised
the Board of Education of
his plans to r e t i r e from the pos-ition
he has held for thirty-five
years. The retirement is to be
effective on August 31.
In his letter to the Board of
Education, Dr. Herber stated,
"Whereas in 19311 was the young-est
superintendent of schools in
the Empire State, today I have
served more continuous years in
that position than anyone else.
But the time has come to relin-quish
that position and I wish to
advise you of my intention to do
so at the end of August".
Dr. Herber stated that he
reached the decision to retire
with great reluctance since from
an early age he wanted to be a
superintendent of schools and had
for all these years been enjoying
both the rewards and responsi-bUities.
He plans to have a period of
rest and then become associated
on a part-time basis with the
graduate school of one of the
major universities in the metro-politan
area where he will help
guide others into the field of
educational administration. He
also hopes to continue visits to
schools in foreign countries with
the aim of teaching in the field
of comparative education.

N O BIDS
The widening of Merrick Road
waits a little longer!
Last week was the time f o r the
County to open bids and aivardthe
contract. However, NO BIDS were
submitted.
The County issues guidelines
(estimated costs, etc.) for all
projects to be put up for bids. In
this case, it is assumed that their
estimate was too low and con-tractors
decided not to waste
their time bidding.
The County Department of
Public Works has revised its e s -
timate upwards and has again ad-vertised
for bids, with the date
for bid openings and awarding of
a contract set for June 21st.
