In appearance and per'sonatity, the boys are no' more alike than cousins. Mentally thee approach parity. John D. III, at 32, is tall and lanky, the es- sence of Rockefeller acumen; then come Nelson, stocky, with bis mo- ther's stocital ease; Lauranoe, lean and medium, a third generation stherpeued to needle fineness; Winthrop, big and broad -shouldered, like a friendly young bear; David, 23,- tall and bus- by, is th r baby brother only in years. Like .their parents, they are not ac- tive in, society, Their social pace was set by their sister Abby's dtebut is 1922. The entertainer was the violin- ist Mischa Einaean, and the guests were primarily Mr. and Mrs. Rocke- felier's elderly friends, many of whom would never have stirred out tor any- one else. Because of the debut, Mr. Rockefeller reluctantly declined an in- vitation, to take part in the dedication of the Park Avenue Baptist Ohurch, to which he cantributed heavily. Said he to the pastor: "Well, that's too bad, but we're having company that night and I can't come." If a picture of the Rockefeller boys depended on what the press has writ- ten about them it woutld be' dull. They've been in the papers scares of times, but never a divorce, never a night-c:ub brawl. Mr. Rockefeller regarded the train- ing of his sons as a major personal responsibility. He "once said to a group of Princeton fatlherrs and sons "Leen in this machine age there are certain things so important that they demand pereonal attsenstion. The bits .- ntess of being a father is surely one. We cannot transfer 9UIi e. responyveibdlity and tpe'ivilege. If our 'sons ffhud us SO ccou•p ee that we: have no time for them, their youthete 'longing ie oMll- ea and 'them' affecblopp acrd *madame are 'trareferred, to Tess worthy com- ranions. At timet'', this reppossi'billity may cramp our style, but there is no alternative." Mr. Rockefeller probably never achieved the pal status. Spontaneous horseplay was foreign to his nature. But he early earned This ohaldren's confidence and affection. Their mother happily complemented their father. Daughter of tee distin- guished Senator from Rhode Island. Nelson W. Aldrich, she had travailed abroad with the Senator, had been bis official 'hostess do Washington, and entitled a considerably wider social experience than her husband. Married bowever, to a serious young Baptist who had no taste for society, she was as ready as 'hs to devote their time to raising a family. Not once in the first 20 years did Mr, and Mrs. Rocke- feller leave home together- without their ehildren for more than a few days at a time. The ehildeen were not raised by servants. .It was Mrs. F.ockefieller who played games with them, read to them, put themto bed. A typical day in their New York home' opened at 7.45 with family prayers. After breakfast on school days ramose a two-mile walk to 93rd Street, whence the chauffeur di•'ove them to the Lincoln School. Lincoln is ooeducati.omal, experi- mental, open to all classes and sects', and a number of etcher things that wealthy children are not generally ex- posed to. But all the Rockefeller boys went there, and they give Lincoln credit for „the sanity of their social views.

Seldom den- ied reasonable requests, they were never given the biggesit' or best of anything, Imo lyMai,ne, wthen one of David's playmates scor>ofuilly asked why his father didn't buy him a big- ger boat; David replied, "Who do you think we are, Vanderbilts.?" In addition to Maine and Pocantbioo, there were trips throughout Europe a ,America, By land or. sea, the family travelled with the organized dispatch of an army on maneuvers. Laurance says, "There was no such thing as an ,unscheduled 15' minutes. One of us .paid the .bills, another look- ed after the luggage, another would run the errande; and • each of us was paid weekly tor the job. The tough est assignment was paying the bills; the one who had the job had to go over every item with father to make sure that we weren't cheating the ho- tel and, of course, vice versa." The most thorough lesson each learn- ed was at the weekly session over their accounts. "When the children were seven or eight," Mr. Rockefeller recall's, "they received an allowance of 20 or 30 vents a week. Out of it they were to save and give as well as spend. Once a week we had an auditing, and five -cent penalties befell the boy who bad an Unaccounted -For item on Ibis ledger." There were opportunities to earn extra money around the house. Catch- ing -nice in the attic brought five cents a mouse; killing flies, ten cents a hundred; seining shoes, a nickel a pair. The boys !probably had ,far leigt money than most Idhildsrelt f11. their early Years. Thee 1,ecibl that they were always "under econowik pres- sure," and to that may be attributed their realiaaition' -of eche value of a deollar', Mr: and Mrs. Rockefeller constant- ly 'tried , to prevent the boys from re- alizing they were nigher than anyone else. Today, none of theme Would think of demanding special privilege. John was genuinely l eveildered when, tire. newspapers made a fuss over his appearance as a juryman; it hadn't entered .his head to ask to be excused. Nor did Laurance think it odd, as the newspapers did, that he should wait in line to pay $2 for his marriage lic- ense. "I can honestly say," Nelson com- mented, "that none of us has ever had a feeling of actually being rich. What we did find out was that we had in- herited heavy responsibilities toward ibe family and the -world, When John was grtaduated from Princeton and went to work tor his father, he didn't have to fill ink wells or shine his father's shoes, as Mr. Junior had; the opportend'ty of the moment happened: to be glvi ig away money. So young John was put on the boards of all seven of his father's philanthropic and educational age/2- Web gen- CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETIES! 9 tt h n:eariy one thousand !daytime completed in 1938, Ontario's Depart. meet of Public Welfare which super- vises the work of Chi•Ldren's Aid So- cieties, finds itself in the somewhat unusual position of shaving a greater demand for adoptable children team can be filled by 'tote existing number eligible 'for adoption. "It isa peculiar situation," states Hon. Eric Cross, Minister of Publde Welfare and Mumdcipal affairs. "A few years ago dltdldr•en of adoption age oonstituted a.' real 'proeblem for our societies. Today, we have not suffici- ent children to take care of the de - mewl." 'Phe tessera was ascribed, by the T1inister. to the constantly increasing desire of childless couples to 'have children in their home. In 1938, a peak was reached When 934 children were formally placed in adoption in this Province, this figure comparing ,with 784 the preceding year. Indica- troins 'are that the 1938 total will be exceeded during the current twelve- month, although such an increase, of course, depends entirely upon the number of children available. The matter of placements in adop- tion home, Mr. Cross points out, is one that receive, the careful consid- eration of the Department, the Swee- ties and their superintendents. As ,soon as a request for a child for adoption is received --and if a young- ster is available -a careful inspection of ° the prospective foster parents • is rnade with a view to ascertaining all the circumstances surrounding ;sudh an adoption. After• the child has been placed, regular visits of inspec- tion are media during a two-year "pro- bation" period) in order to ensure that the child is receiving proper care and trainen'g. Only after this two-year period has been completed do the adoptions actually become effective. The demand for children for adop- tion is principally for those of from three months to four yearns in age, al- though nearly all ages up to'40 years appear in the Department's adoption records. "It has been found," observes Mr. Cruse, "that adoption parents- leave little to be desired in caring properly for their foster -children and the affec- tion with which they ' regard them. They take a pride and an interest in their cl;ild as if it were their own." cies. As his brothers have joined in tibis work, he has had more time to devote to business.. One of this major inter- ests is industrial 'relations, long a special Rockefeller *study. John III is carrying this tradition on through Industrial Relations Counselors, Inc. Originally former to stuly only Rockefeller labor problems, it is now retained by many companies. When hie views are sought, they are usual- ly found on the liberal side. Nelson, boon, in 1908, is aggressive and energetic. At Dartmouth he risk- ed scorn by teaching a Sunday school RI5T5 ISE N TILE! MOTOR VEHICLE PERMITS AND DRIVERS' LICENSES EXPIRE MARCH 31i Your Automobile, Trailer, Truck or Motorcycle Must Bear the New 1939 Plates on April lst This year there will be no further extension of time allowed for registering motor vehicles and securing drivers' licenses after the expiration date, March 31st, 1939. In past years Motor Vehicle Permits and Drivers' Licenses expired on December 31st. In order to afford greater convenience and service to motorists in Ontario the Government has extended the expiration date three months. This extra period of time should, we feel, be ample for every motorist, and this teax therefore, there will positively be no extension of time past March 3Ist. Your prompt co-operation and action in purchasing new plates and securing your operator's license is therefore expected. Secure your new plates at the earliest pos- sible moment. By postponing action you run the risk of being turned away in the rush of the last day or two, and thus become liable to a fine. You can save yourself worry and time wasted standing in line if you will decide now to purchase your new 1939 plates well in advance of March 31st. PUBLIC COMMERCIAL VEHICLE LICENSES ALSO E?(PiRE MARCH 31st All trucks and trailers operated as Public Commercial Vehicles must display P.C.V. 1939 License Plates after March 31st, and while this is the regular expiry date for this type of license, no extension of time will be granted. • ti MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS PROVINCE OF ONTARIO / i P, tee Aft a Agi ld�a R`EU MAT!

When alIl the Ave boys are finally grouped around Mr. Rockefeller in the family's offices, it will be the sigh point in, the !ratter's career as a father. Each son, dtw Ins own field!, has been given full authority to speak for his father when Mr. Rockefeller's opinion is not avad'lablee. Mr. Rockefeller still retains the final word in questions of expenditure and policy, but he seldom expresses it except when asked by one of this some. "For each of the boys I beve eshetb- kiehedl a separate trust," says Mr. Rockefeller, "into which the entire fortune will be distributed eventually -as the boys dhow• ability to 'handle the money.
