Jewisfy worshipers gather at this site of- relig­ious
pilgrimages which have etidured through the
centuries. This scripture from the Living Bible
is the authority for observance of Yom Kippur,
the Day of Atonement.
"This is a permanent law: You must do no work
on the tenth day of the seventh month (of the
Hebrew calendar), but must spend the day in.self-examination
and humility. This applies whether
you are bom in the land or are a foreigner living
. among the people of Israel; for this is the day
commemorating the atonement, cleansing you in
the Lord's eyes from all of your sins. It is a Sab­bath
of solemn rest for you, and you shall spend
the day in quiet humility; this is a permanent law.
--This ceremony, in later generations, shall be per­formed
by the anointed High Priest, consecrated
in place of his ancestor Aaron; he shall be the one
to put on the holy linen garments, and make atone-
~ - ment for the holy sanctuary, the Tabernacle, the
altar, the priests, and the people. This shall be an
everlasting law for you, to make atonement for
the people of Israel once each year, because of
their sins." (Leviticus 16:29-34)
"Nine days after the Festival of Trumpets, all the
people are to come together before the Lord, sad­dened
by their sin; and they shall offer sacrifices
by fire to the Lord. Don't do any work that day,
for it is a special day for making atonement be­fore
the Lord your God. (Leviticus 23:26-28)
from The Living Bible
YOM KIPPUR is the most solemn day of the Jewish New
Year. It is a day of fasting and prayer. Yom Kippur is
the highest of all holy days in the Jewish Religion.
Statement By
Supervisor John W. Burke
Jewish residents in the Town of Oyster Bay and
throughout the world are in the midst of the observance
of Rosh Hashona, the beginning of the year 5734 of the
Jewish calendar and of the 10-day period of penance
which will end with Yom Kippur, 1 .e Day of
Atonement, beginning at sundown on Friday (October
5).
On behalf of the Town Board, I would like to extend
my deepest best wishes on this most holy of
celebrations and urge that all residents of Oyster Bay,
regardless of religious preference, pray for the
religious freedom and to live where they choose for
Jewish people everywhere.

Far Their Heads
By Richard Wood
The differentiation between
Aristotelian and Galilean modes
of'thought is, analogously, the
stark contrast between night and
day.
For centuries Western
Civilization has been following in
•the static footsteps of antiquity's
greatest philosopher, com­placently
ignoring the Fifteenth
Century Italian who casually
disproved, among other things,
the ancient belief that the sun
revolved around the earth. Yet,
considered a sacrilegious heretic'
in his time, Galileo and his way of
thinking have, almost ironically,
made increasingly potent attacks
on the very foundation of
Twentieth Century thought.
The influence of Galileo began
pervading the physical sciences
in the late 1800's, picking up
considerable acceleration when
Freud and his sympathizers
almost ravishingly accepted the
Galilean approach in the early
1900's.
In recent years the social
sciences have been infected,
particularly in the area of
communication arts, not to
mention the strictly academic
disciplines of sociology, an­thropology,
history and law.
What Galileo proposed is
almost infinitely simple in its
wisdom, yet utterly profound in
its awesome consequences. In
Simple terms, Galileo said that
"nothing could be studied in
isolation." ^
In other words, the impact of
the evironment was just as much
a part of the nature of the subject
as the physical properties of the
object itself.
Galileo- did" his experiments
principally with the inclined
plane, now but distant recol­lections
of our fading memories
of high school physics class. In
his time few recognized the, con­sequences
of his experiments.
They viewed his esoteric ac­tivities
as little more than a giant
contribution to the history of
physics, failing to appreciate the
potential application of his
discoveries to other domains.
Man, a veritable creature of
habit, continued to follow the
precepts and preconceptions- of
Aristotle and his cold, seemingly
unassailable logic.
It took Western Civilization
nearly four hundred years to
finally recognize Aristotelian
thought as essentially dead and
static in the face of Galileo's
dynamism,.*,*
Up untjl relatively #ecently a
child's behavior was determined
solely by heredity, without con­sideration
of environmental
factors; human communication
was viewed as one voice talking
to another, without, consideration
of ubiquitous psychological inter­ferences
and prejudices;
criminal activity as the result of
individual impulse, without

under construction on Hicksville Road near its junction with South
Oyster Bay Road. The unusual branch is expected to be opened in
November.
SECOND OF A KIND
Actually, the Bethpage branch will be Long Island's second barn-bank,
the first haying been opened by Long Island Trust in North
Patchogue on September 14, 1972, and also designed by the ar­chitectural
firm of Edwards & Malone. The new Bethpage branch
will have the following features:
•. A basic barn structure with rustic barn red vertical siding, barn
gambrel roof, a haymow door with a working pulley lift, and a cupola
adorned with a horse-shaped brass weather vane
•.An actual farm windmill produced by one of the few windmill
producers still extant in the United States
a. A hitching rail and firehouse cart situated in the front of the
building
•.An old schoolmaster's desk for a checkwriting unit
a. A regulator clock
•.A pot bellied stove
'.Nail keg wastepaper baskets and milk can ashtrays
•.Singer sewing machine table with a marble top
•.Red brick vinyl flooring
MODERN BANKING
The two level bank branch will offer full services to residents in the
Hicksville- Bethpage area as well as to the surrounding industrial
complex. The barn bank will have a double drive-in facility as well as
ample parking for patrons. A night depository will be installed.
Complete consumer financial servicing will be available including
checking, savings, personal loans, safe deposit boxes, Christmas
Clubs, Estate Planning and Trust services, travelers checks, money
orders, and many others.
consideration of the latent contri­butions
of a post-agrarian
society.
Galileo's major contribution to
mankind is not his theory that the
earth revolves around the sun or
his other astronomical
propositions, but his fantastically
simple concept of dynamism - his
theory that all factors affecting a
particular object of investigation
should be considered equal in
importance to the object itself.
Last year Nassau County was
granted $500,000 ill federal and
state Title III funds Cor
educational research. Thirty-six
school districts applied for a
percentage allocation of the total.
The Plainedge School District
was one of the thirty-six.
Of the twenty-three innovative
projects submitted by Plainedge
to the New York State Depart­ment
of Education for approval,
all twenty-three were approved.
Had Plainedge had time to
develop each of the projects fully,
it would have received $53,000 of
the total, an overwhelming 11 per
cent of the county's allocation.
Instead, it chose to concentrate
on eight projects. Referred to as
CAPs (Cooperative Area
Programs), the projects are as
dynamic as they sound. Ranging
from an Asian African culture
series to a program exploring the
inter-relationships of English and
mathematics, Plainedge's CAP
programs are dynamic and in­novative
in more ways then one.
They're dynamic in the sense of
being exciting, original and in­novative,
but also dynamic in the
sense that Galileo used the word.
For along with the sciences of
psychology, sociology and human
communication, education has
also been struck by the* Galilean
mode of thought..
