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'.

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.

Bruce K. 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-

general interest through the

ulous and that he can't pos
sibly make a go of it. 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.
We see no objection to a
parent's helping a young man

Hall Feb. 22, city officials
announced Friday night.
get started i business,- but
we see many objections to a
parent's pandering to the
childish needs of an adult.
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.
