Objections of local government units and taxpayers there, who like the $10,000 annual taxes which Rockefeller still pays, have temporarily halted this benefac- ton.
 Half million for the New York Botanical Gardens, million fol the New York Geological Society and $2,000000 for New York's Metropolitan Museum are matched by the $7OO,O00 given to the Library of Congress for its new union cata- log, and more than $3,0O0,000 fol the magnificent New York Public Library. When the League of Ma tions at Geneva needed library 1t was able to turn to Rockefeller for $12,000,000, half for building half for books.
 Most of the newer Rockefeller benefactions are now self-liqui- dating, in order to prevent the in- fluence of the "dead hand" which often guides the use of donated money long after both benefactor and the original need have van- ished. Such was the International Education Board, which has spent $21 ,O0O, ,O00, income and principal ], on various scientific and educa- tional projects all over he world, and whose remaining propects are consolidated with the General Education Board.
 A Passion for Construction
 Foremost among college bene- ficiaries, after the University Of Chicago, has been Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes, which have received $3,5O0,000 for the educa- ton of Negroes. Rockefeller's own alma mater, Brown University, with Princeton and Harvard, have shared Rockefeller's millions, and far-away Palestine can look on its Museum of Archaeology at JeruSa- lem with $2,000,000 worth of thankfulness to the Rockefellers
 A passion for building and con- struction, notable in most of the recent Rockefeller projects, is also seen in several housing experi- ments totaling $13,5Oo,o00 in and around New York city.
 But to list even the fields into which the present Rockefeller has sent his millions, let alone the in- dividual projects, would be impos- sible. He is besieged at all times by hundreds of daily requests for money, either for personal use or for pet causes"
 Such bequests run up to $2O,00C year, and require quite an or ganization merely to handle them

5000 SIGNATURES
 FOR MERIT SYSTEM
Local Chapter Continues Campaign for Public
 Referendum on Plan

More than 5000 local residents have signed petitions calling for a referendum on the adoption of a merit system for city employees, it was reported last night at meet ing of the Waterbury chapter, Con- necticut Merit System Association. Workers will seek to secure 1000 signatures before August 1. It is nec- essary to secure $500 signatures, or Is per cent of the voting list, to have the question placed on the voting machines in next falls city election.
 The petition is addressed to the board of aldermen. The board may vote of its own accord to have the question voted upon, but it must call for referendum if a petition signed by IS per cent of the local voters is presented, according to advocates of the establishment of the system. The merit system chapter voted last night to have 200 copies of the proposed amendment to the city charter printed and filed with the town clerk. This was recently re- quested by the board of aldermen.

Wedding Bliss Secret Not Taught h College
Ten New England Couples, Married From 50 to 70
 Years, Give Important Rules to Newlyweds

MT. and Mrs. Charles H. Lock- wood, Springfield, Vt., GA years.
 MT. and Mrs. James Quirk, Fall River, Mass, 60 years.
 MT. and Mrs. Isaac Hall, North Raynham, Mass, 57 years.

 MT. and Mrs. William E. Lawrence, Springfield, Mass, 50 years.
 MT. and Mrs. Wildrey Mckenzie, Methuen, Mass, 50 years.
 Against Child Bride
 The couples were unanimously opposed to marriages involving child brides. Best age to wed, they felt, was P for the man and 20 for the woman.
 How many children should couple have? One couple replied. Two a boy and girl" while another reply was, "1O-we have 14," and still another "All that God sends them"
 Which should be boss husband or wife? Eight couples agreed that there should be no boss. The other two thought that the husband should run things.
 Can the secret of marital bliss be taught successfully in colleges? nine couples thought not and one replied, perhaps.
 'In our minds" wrote MT. and Mrs. Hall, who have been married since 1880, 1t Is not necessary to take college courses on how to be happy in marriage Love exists 1t somehow can't be taught. What Could Be Taught
 "What perhaps could be taught in schools of higher learning to helr young people in their married life is absolute honesty, tolerance of one another,s faults (because the best | of us have them), and whole-heartee cooperation.
 "We both believe that any young persons who marry should be ole enough to realize the responsible ties of the covenant, and enter iptt 1t with a true purpose to keep i sacred. Only through real appre. ciation of this. and living 1t day bS day, can the days. weeks, month! and years, as they roll away, bring Chat feeling of radiant joy ,whicf we felt as we looked into the faces of our family gathered about us al our 67th wedding anniversary"

 4. Be companionable. 5. Work hard.
 6. Strive for mutual understand
 ing.
 T. Try to please each other. 8. Keep your own individuality. g. Be loyal. 10. Be thoughtful.

According to present plans the event will be one of the highlights of the season, featuring various sporting events, a band concert, bathing and boating, with plenty of refreshments avail able.
 The Aviglianese unit is one of the largest Italian societies in the state and it is expected that many out of town guests and city officials will be numbered among the thousands expected to be present either during the afternoon or evening activities

personal interest of imagination, and of cosmopolitanism that was not apparent in the vast general purpose" contributions of the fa- ther.
 The older man would never have thought, for instance. of the restoration of Colonial Williams burg, Va, with which the son has produced an unique memorial of pre- Revolutionary times, buying and restoring an entire town at a cost of $l5,000,0O for the pleasure and inspiration of 100000 visitors year.
 The first-generation Rockefeller would probably never have been interested in putting $500,000 into rebuilding the Shakespeare Me- morial Theater at Stratford after 1t burned down, or in contribut- ing $1,500,000 toward rebuilding the Imperial University Library in Tokio after an earthquake had damaged 1t. The benefactions of the younger Rockefeller reflect a mind that is at home in all the world and in every field.
 Faith Never Shaken
 The Rockefeller contributions to purely Baptist causes have vir- tually ceased. While the keen interest in religion and in re- ligious causes remains, 1t is now expressed in interdenominational m o VementS. Rockefeller, Jr., poured $2,O0O,0OO into the abor- tive Inter Church World Move ment of IS years ago, but his faith in such work was never shaken by its notable failure. The mag nificent Riverside Church with its famous carillon, which dominates New York's upper Hudson River skyline, cost $1,500,000, but is en- tirely non denominations in its services and its work. New York'S Cathedral of St. John the Divine has received $500,00O, the Colgate Rochester Seminary $1,25000O. and the Yale Divinity School $1, ,0O0,0 from the Rockefeller coffers, and he is 8 large supporter of the Institute of Social and Re- ligiouS Research.
 Travelling in France, Rockefel- Ter noted the shabby and gener- ally run down condition of the palaces at Versailles and Fon- tainebleau, saw the wartime rav- ages at Louvain and Rheims. The result was $3,0O0,O00 for repairs at Versailles and Fontainebleau, restoration at Rheims, and $100,- 900 toward the rehabilitation of the Louvain Library.
 Interested in Parks and Forestry
 Observing the difficulties of poor students abroad led to estab- lishment of a chain of Inter national Student Houses in sev- eral countries to provide cheap and good living quarters for stu dents in strange lands. In each there is a proportion of native students 50 that international un- derstanding may be promoted. Nearly $l1,000,0O has gone into this project.
 Travelling more widely than his father ever did, Rockefeller has become interested in parks and

Here's the It cost the Prosecuting Attorney of that town $3 to park his car on the parade route Saturday and when he paid out the money he vowed that some Waterburian would pay if the Newington law closed on one.

Rockefeller loves the Palisades of the Hudson, and he bought $7,000,0O0 worth of land including the most slightly cliffs, thus pre- serving them as a scenic feature of New. York.
 Fort Tyron Park, historic scene of Washington's last stand in the retreat from Manhattan Island, has been bought at cost of more than $6,000,000, and will not only become a park but the site of George Gray Barnards collection of medieval sculpture, which will be housed in the new Cloisters Museum.
 They Like His Taxes
 The .imberlands of Yosemite National Park have been pre- served to the tune of $1,650,000, and Rockefeller has spent $1,725,- 900 on land in the Jackson Hole region of Wyoming in an effort to establish national park in this scenic country.

To purely personal requests form letter is usually returned. To those suggesting a social ob- jective, personal letters almost al- ways go, explaining why the re- quest does not conform with the Rockefeller ideas.
 To Prevent Poverty
 With his father, Rockefeller long ago arrived at philosophy of giving, to which he adheres as consistently as possible.
 "Our endeavor," he said, "has not been so much to relieve pov- erty, but to prevent poverty through making it possible for the largest possible number of people to live in healthful surroundings and to obtain educational oppor- tunities fitting them to earn their own livelihood"

JUNE SCENE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Begonia plants, delphinium,
 The roadside nurseries show, Paintings of lovely larkspur blue,
 In the fields the daisies blow. Ripe red strawberries on the stands,
 Cabbages, beans and peas, Honeysuckle on an old farmhouse
 Where hover beVy of bees. Old-fashioned roses in country yards,
 Ramblers hanging over the wall, A trumpet vine mixed in the growth,
 Full-bloomed horse chestnut tree broa Low slung cars careening along,
 Hatless lads going places Girl in turbans just with rim,
 All end up at the races. So it is, the scene in June,
 Bugs and blossoms and brides, Picnics in wooded niche
 And roller coaster rides.
