PARKWAY TO GET PROMPT ATTENTION
Grant to Fairfield County Will Actually Total
 $6,75O,OO0

Washington, D. C.-Senator Lonergan, Connecticut, said today that public works administration officials here have cleared the way for prompt consideration for a loan and grant for the Merritt parkway, in Connecticut, as soon as the application Is filed with the state PWA office at Hartford and forwarded to Washington.
 Senator Lonergan stated he had informed of the issuance of $15,- 000,000 in bonds by Fairfield coun- ty, and the appointment of com mittee to obtain the loan and grant from the federal government as promptly as possible. The grant will approximate $6,75O,O00 and will be available as soon as the application goes through the for nal stages.
 The project was originally esti- mated to cost $20,000.000 but pre- vious loans and grants by PWA to towns and cities along the high way which was applied to the project in their vicinity, has re- duced the amount necessary to complete the work.
 The project is expected to be the largest PWA project in Connecti- cut. and one of the largest in New England.

AXMEN PREPARING
 FOR CONTESTS
Forestry Day at Exposi- ton to Be Featured
 By ChOpping

Springfield, Mass -, Chips are flying and axes are ringing in the New England forest lanes in prep aration for the third annual New England Championship Wood- chopping Contest and the Second Annual CCC. Woodchopping and Woodsawing Contests that will be a feature of Forestry Day, Thursday, September 18th, at the Eastern States Exposition.
 County and district contests are being scheduled for July and August by the several New England state foresters and CCC camp off, ciais. Winners of these will meet in statewide competition, and win ners and runnersup from each state will compete in the finals for championship honors at the exposition.
 Important changes in rules and regulations for state preliminaries and finals and the championship themselves have been made this year to provide uniformity. Here tofore contestants have been re- quired to fell red maple trees and complete two uppercuts. This year all chopping will be prone. with spruce, fir or hemlock sticks to be used, and will tend to accen- tuate the skill of the choppers rather than to expose them to haz- ards of inequalities in timber. Win ners will be judged solely on elapsed time required to complete the necessary cuts. Entrants will allowed to use their own axes with no restrictions on weights.
 Tn the open contest, entries will be limited to amateur choppers. In the CCC chopping competition, en- tries will be limited to regularly enrolled CCC camps members. The woodsawing competition is for CCC members only. and entries will consist of two man teams. In each state contest there will be awards for individual and team winners, with cash prizes, medals and trophies for the exposition cham pionships. "A

35 Years Ago
 Most Hated Man.

Each of these institutions has numerous subsidiaries and inter- ests, and are able to finance re- lated projects pretty much of their own choosing. They also handle most of the grants made inde- pendently by the Rockefellers Senior and Junior.
 Nobody knows exactly the pro- cess by which certain schools, cer- tain libraries, particular museums and such are selected for bene- factions out of the thousands that would like to have 8 slice of the oil fortune. But prevention" is the key word in most Rockefeller charities - prevention of disease, poverty, crime and ignorance. Ignorance" doesn't mean mere illiteracy; it covers any lack of culture from the arts to history.
 A list of donations would in- clude hundreds of items, ranging from flood relief othe restoration of historic old Williamsburg, Va. from aid to Jewish refugees in in Poland to funds for the beau- tification of our national parks. Most spectacular enterprise is the $250, 100000 development in mid- Manhattan called Rockefeller Gen. ter. It is essentially commercial, but was carried forward through the depths of the depression.
 All these things have risen from the bounty of one who 3S years ago was called the most hated man in the world. He was pictured as greedy, cruel, unscru- pulous, piratical-an ogre who squeezed the life out of everyone who opposed him. But competitors who accepted stock instead of cash when he sought to buy them out rode along with Rockefeller to fabulous fortunes.
 The Standard oil Trust was broken in 1092, but the master and his men carried right on in control of the component companies. In 1907 Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis fined Rockefeller $29,240,- 900 on a conviction on 1462 counts for accepting illegal rebates from railroads, but the fines later were declared invalid. That was in 1911, when he retired fro inactive busi- ness.
 At this time is occurred to the Rockefellers that they might em- play the same methods of propa- ganda that had been used against them. A press-agent was engaged. And so MT. Rockefeller began the metamorphosis from monster to unmitigated blessing of the hu- man race. Tn scarcely any time. aided by his philanthropies, he had attained an entirely new place in public estimation.

ssOO,oOO,OOo Given Away

It is estimated, though, that John the Old and John the Second by now have dispensed some $500, ,000,00. This makes them by far the greatest philanthropists in history, for Andrew Carnegie, who ranks second, gave away mere $350, 100000.
 Four major organization dis pose of the money. John D.. Rockefeller began his retirement in 1896, and made it absolute in 1911. Then, with the same shrewd- ness he had demonstrated in busi- ness, he began to demonstrate that the art of giving is just as diffi- cult and diversified as the art of getting.
 He gathered around him a group of experienced advisors and established a group benevolent corporations. First of these is the Rockefeller Foundation, chartered ''to promote the welfare of man. kind in all parts of the world and into which about $500, 900, ,0OO has gone thus far. Second is the General Education Board, which

The amounts of money he has given away would make one sort of yard-stick, but probably not even the Rockefeller family knows the sum. From 1910 through 1881 it is certain that Rockefeller philanthropies total ed more than $500, 100000. Since then it has been a custom of the donors to make no announce ments of gifts, leaving the public acknowledgements, if any, to the recipients. Scores of ''small' do- nations, ranging from $10,000 to $10O,000, never have been an- nounced, are recorded only by the

Health services, research organizations and active armies combating plaque spots. and epidemics owe their inception and life to the for tune he founded and his judgment in spending it.

 Led by country doctor, Elias Lonnrott, these patriots went into the remotest sections of the coun- try and 50 succeeded in perpetual. ing their language and their na- tional spirit which might have been forgotten in favor of Russian or Swedish.
