Nelson Rockefeller Returns Pupil's Dime New York-(UPD-Gov. Nelson Rockefeller Tuesday returned a dime sent to him by two Long Island school girls with a note saying: "We know from our history that your grandfather gave dimes to the populace as a token of friend ship, and to show our esteem for you we are sending you the same token of friend ship." Rockefeller thanked the pu pils for the gesture but said he could not violate his own rule against the acceptance of gifts'. li-39 ences. too. The sea lion's neck is long and graceful while the seal's in comparison is miss ing. Also, the sea lion can ro tate his rear limbs, an advan tage that gives him greater mobility on land and, quite possibly, the water as well. As one might suspect from an animal that can hear bet ter, crane his neck better and move better, the sea lion is al so more intelligent than the seal. While the latter has been taught tricks, the seal is much slower to learn. Furthermore, he seems to do it in a plodding way, as if thinking only of the reward - a fish. The sea lion, on the other hand, goes at it with animation, almost blithe ly, learning with the speed of a student who is happy in his work. They are interested in the reward, too, of course, but some of them that have done well in circuses or on the stage have been thought to en joy the applause almost as much as human stars.' Controversial Animal And yet - despite these ad vantages, or possibly because! of them the sea lion was long held a controversial ani mal, and still is in certain quarters. Virtually all performing sea lions are from California. They average 600 pounds each and live on fish. California commercial fishermen, noting that the offshore fish popula tion declined while every thing else in the state grew, blamed the sea lions. They continued to do so, even when it was finally prov ed that sea lions ate mainlv squid and only rarely killed l i i r - i mt . . vaiuaoie iisn. iney persuauea the public likewise with the result that not until 1909. when the animal was almost extinct, was the slaughter halted. Two decades later, when the sea lions were active again, the fishermen once more raised an outcry. In the 1920's the sea lion rookeries were attacked by riflemen and blasted with dynamite, but it was finally decided that the sea lion was not really a menace after all. Today, their numbers are up again, and it is illegal to kill them unless they are caught in the act of destroying fishermen s nets.

I am a bachelor of 29. I have had a lot of hard luck tying to get established in a career. Although I have a college education I have held' only very low paying jobs and none of them seem to lead to anything. I am now living with my widowed mother. My father left her a good-sized estate, but I know he wanted me to share in it. My older brother is very well off and on his own in business. I want my mother to lend me some money to start my own small business. I have an idea that many people think is very good. I feel that it is my mother's duty to help me out in this way, but she is reluctant. I'm not saying she is unethical exactly. I just feel that she lacks confidence in me. Mrs. R. K. I am no miser and I want to give my son the best of everything. I have been supporting him on and off all these years when he has been floundering. I would gladly give him even more money than he asks, but a lot of my friends have told me his idea is ridic- be glad to answer letters of general interest through the column.

He has made such a mess of things up to this time that I'm afraid this will be another failure. He has gotten so excited about this idea that he will be badly hurt if it doesn't work out. The money means nothing to me. I would gladly lose it if it would help Bruce, but I'm afraid that another fail ure will just break his spirit. I don't see why he can't get a good job like other young men. The Council Bruce ap pears to be far more psycho logically dependent upon his mother than he ought to be. According to his own state ment he would like to have the money as a sign of his mother's confidence in ' him. He would not like to acknowl edge it, but it is fairly evident that he also wants this assur ance of her love. If she gave him the money it would serve as a sign that she will always be there ready to help him in his need.

Unfortunately, Mrs. R. K. caters to these needs in a re verse form when she denies him the money because "a lot of my friends have told me his idea is ridiculous." Her ob vious lack of confidence in him is the whip that Bruce uses to punish himself for his failures. On the face of it, we would judge that man of 29 who has had serious difficulties on his jobs is not a likely person to succeed in business. But we could be all wrong. His idea could have merit. However, Mother's friends and "peo ple" are probably not the best judges. If Bruce is serious about his idea and is not using it merely to punish himself and his mother, he will go to sources that can give him real information and advice the bank, businessmen who know something about the field. If his idea has possibilities, the bank will give Bruce a loan. He will then be able to enjoy a sense of being on his own for better or for worse. (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.)
