THE ROCKEFELLER CREED
i iciactcclabeasansieaecce’ $3.00

A remarkable . 0-point creed of ‘“‘eternal---principles”’
which represent “the things that make life most worth living”:
has been advanced by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
_ These principles are the ones on which Rockefeller claims
he was raised and on which he has “tried to bring up our
family.”
There are those cinics of course. who will gaze with
high skepticism upon any ‘‘code of ethics” advanced by a man
of great wealth. There are those who after reading this creed.
would question whether the senior Rockefeller actually lived
by it in the amassino of his vast fortune.
It is rot co difficult to believe. however. that this set of
principles has euided “John D. Junior.’’ in the upbringing of
his family, for the third generation Rockefellers more than almost than almost any other scions of great inherited wealth.
seem to have been instilled with a sincere sense of responsib
ilitv—a feeling that their stewardship over their vast estate
entails definite obligations to society.
To bicker over whether the Rockefellers or anyone else
have actually lived by this “Rockefeller creed’’ of course, is to
miss its whole point.
For the creed by itself is excellent: it is a concise stateTHE POCKETBOOK

ment of the fundamental vrincinles of living that any American can he nroud to teach his children.
We feel it is worth reprinting herewith:
I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his ryeht to
life, liberty and the nursuit of happiness.
I believe that everv righ! implies a responsibility: every onmortuniiv
an obligation: every possession. a duty.
1 believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law:
that sovernment is the servant of the people -and not their master,
I believe in the dignity of !abor, whether with head or hand: that the
‘world owes no man a living, but that it owes every man an oprortunity to
make a living,
I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and thag, economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government. business or personal affairs,
I believe that truth and justice are fundmaental to an enduring social
order.
I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should he
as good as his bond; that character—not wealth or power or position
is of supreme worth. :
I*believe that the renderfng of useful service is the common duty of
mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of
Selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human sou! set free.
I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name,
and that the individual’s highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest
usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will,
I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world: that it alone ean
overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.
BOGEY-MAN ICKES
We often have wondered what useful purnose. if anv
Secretary of Interior Harold L. (Ho!ler Loud) Ickes served.
Of course. we know he is the Nation’s Number One Common .
Scold and also its Number One Grabber-of-Headlines on any
and all occasions. But we mused, just what contribution does
the Honorable Secretary make to the enrichment of life?
A friend, however, has enlightened us. He thinks Donald
Duck Ickes serves a very useful purpose and that tens of thousands of American parents are or should be grateful to him.
For this friend explains he uses the name of Ickes to discipline
his children. The admonition “If you don't behave . shall tél!
Secretary Ickes,"” he says, brings immediate obedience from .
his off-spring.
HIGHWAY DEATHS OVERSHADOW WAR
Overshadowed only by the war news. the black head.
lines that leaped at the American public last Monday mornine
told again the ghastly story of another holiday weekend of
traffic death and injury.
Unlike the war bulletins. which were read eagerly, the
auto casualty list was scanned with jaundiced eye by readers
whose interest in auto smashups has been dulled by constant
repetition.
Highway safety is in danger of becoming much like
Mark Twain's description of the weather. something about
which every one talks a great deal but which noboby ever does
anything about. Some really effective formula that will get
people interested in protecting themselves and others on the
highway is yet to be devised.
Studies by the State Department of Motor Vehicles of
holiday accidents provide the material for some cogent conclusions: One of these is that most people who plan holiday
motor trips try to go entirely too far for the time at their disposal and, as a consequence, are compelled to drive entirely
too fast and for entirely toe many hours without resting.
Holiday trips to be enjoyable should be leisurely. The
driver who is forced to drive in excess of 200 or 300 miles per
day cannot see much of the country through which he passes
and loses much of the fun of his trip. Yet thousands of Americans with a few days at their disposal plan trips requiring them .
to drive twice that distance daily.
Journeys so planned mean traveling at speeds often dan-.
_gerous and for long hours. They often mean traveling far into the night when most of the accidents are known to Oost)

] wonder at the uncouth folk
One meets on serial radio dramas,
The tragic aunts, the wild eyed youths,
The mean old scheming grammas.
I wonder at the ponderous number of disquieting characters who came to life and disport themselves for our edification in the average radio serial. Crude, perverse figments of
the imagination, from what bemused compartment of the
human brain do thev.come and why?
When introducing his choice collection of wierdies, the
M. C. is sure to say, “this is a true story of every day people,
whose names for certain reasons, must be withheld.’’ About
that naive assertion. we harbor doubts, and when he adds,
‘they might be your own friends and neighbors,’ we ejaculate
a fervent, “heaven forbid!" Still they live in our radios and
are welcomed into many homes “from Monday on through
Friday.”’ week after week, month after month and so on
throuch the years.
Who are a few of these fictional characters whom producers of special brands, expect us to live with on familiar and
friendly terms? Well, there is the terrible old mother in law, .
his choice, or to destroy her daughter’s domestic happiness.
Not a very pleasing acquaintance, this scheming virago. Imagine meeting one of her kind in the flesh, ugh!
Featured in the average radio serial, are flocks of middle .
aged adolescents, women with good homes, fine husbands, .
grown children, sometimes even interesting grandchildren; .
who suddenly, hearing the call of the wild, pack trunks full of
“ich appare!. have their faces lefted, their hair styled, their
finger nails brightly tinted, and go forth to forage on the trail:
