off without pay.
Grumman fellows take nine credits
a semester. During the two year pro­gram,
fellows are considered full-time
employees. They must put in at least
24 hours of work at the company dur­ing
the scholastic year. During
summer recess, fellows return to a 40-
hour a week Grumman schedule.
Another benefit of the program is
the rotational work assignment. Each
fellow gets four six-month assign­ments
in different areas of the com­pany.
These assignments are matched
as closely as possible with career
interests of the worker-student.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
Angelo A. Delligatti praised the
efforts of New York State Senator
Ralph Marino in obtaining a $25,000
legislative grant which will enable the
Town to expand their on-going water
conservation program.
"This 100% state-funded program
will be used to implement a public
education program, distribute addi­tional
informational material regard­ing
good water conservation practices
and allow the Town to purchase water
conservation devices for distribution
to all residents," said Delligatti.
The water conservation kits include
toilet water saving devices and shower
head restrictors and will be distrib­uted
with an informative pamphlet
outlining simple measures each
homeowner can employ to save water
both indoors and outdoors,
Delligatti stressed that education is
key to resident participation. "Part of
this grant will be used to develop a
multi-media presentation which the
Town will offer to public schools and
adult groups so that they belter
understand the need to practice effec­tive
conservation techniques," he said.
Supervisor Delligatti r\pted that
recognition at the state level of the
Town's efforts was rewarding and
encouraging. "All levels of govern­ment
should be cogniiiant that on
Long Island we obtain olir portable
water from a single source, under­ground
aquifers. Although a water
shortage does not currently exist, we
must prepare for our future needs by
curbing some of our past practices.
This can be done with minimal charge
in our lifestyle."
"Senator Marino understands and
supports our goals and we are very
appreciative of his help in this effort,"
concluded Delligatti.
