Danger At Nineteen
Seventeen—an age of vast perplexity and adolescent
anarchy, but not a seriously dangerous age. Such is the burden of Booth Tarkington’s much cherished novel Seventeen.
But 19 is different. Nineteen is dangerous. And for that, the
authority is not fiction—but statistics on crime. _ Nineteenyear-olds, says the Federal Bureau of Investigation at Washington, D. C., form the largest single age group of arrests each
year.
The public knows that vaguely—but residents of Georgia recently turned their minds specifically upon it. A survey
made by their Department of Public Welfare by the Works
Progress Administration showéd that the average age of admissions to the state penitentiary is 19. It revealed also that
58 per cent of the admissions were under 25 years of age, and
of this ercunp, half were under 21. ;
Why should youths barely old enough to start on their
first jobs turn to crime? Perhaps that question answers itself.
Most of them can’t get that first job. Bishop G. Bromley Oxman finds that the young person reacts in one of two ways to
lack of onportunitv to work. Either “he wants to fight—simply rebels against the present setup,”’ or he takes “‘an attitude
of complete resignation.’”’ The fighter turns to crime, sabotage, violent actions of all sorts, alcohol, and dope. The resigner turns to futile brooding. And the net result is a serious and
usually permanent vitiation of youth’s vital morale.
Now, the enlightened businessman can tell you quite a
littl—in: nonacademic language, thank goodness—about
crime and its causes and costs, and he usually concludes with
that old chestnut about, an ounce of prevention. He likes it.
says that he finds it the best answer to date to the problem of
crime And so he makes a place in his shipping room for a poor
lad the social worker told him about—-campaigns for funds
for te Boy Scout troon down in the slums, canvasses for Girl
Scouts. and never denies an audience. at least, to a young person ¢arrnestly seeking a job. And he helps a dozen other agencies ‘n the same way and in other ways.
Sometimes, like any other adult, he'd like to climb un on
the rcof and shout to all the young folks in the world: “For
heaven's sake, be decent.’’ But he knows what a ridiculous.
what a pathetic figure he’d cut. And so, instead, hé starts at
home—to cive’ young people there a respectable chance to be
decent.BASIC NERECTS . ,

LEGAL NOTICES
NOTICE OF SALE OF BONDS OF
NEVADA CITY UNIFIED SCHOOI
DISTRICT
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that
sealed bids will be received by the
Board of Supervisors of the County
of Nevada, State of: California,’ at
the office of the Clerk of the Board
of Supervisors of said County,
County Courthouse, Nevada _ City,
California, until 10:00 o’clock A. M.,
of Wednesday, the 14th day of Dec‘ember, 1938, for the purchase of
$20,000 principal amount of bonds
of Nevada City Unified School District. Said bonds constitute the entire issue of bonds of said District,
authorized at an election held in
said District on August 6, 1938, at
which election 260 votes were cast
in favor of said bonds and 103 votes
were cast against; said bonds, and
will be issued for the following purposes: the building or purchasing
of high school buildings, the making
of alterations or additions to the

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Basic defects in the Social Security Act must
be eliminated before efforts are
made to extend it, in the opinion of
the American Association for Social
Security.
The association warned that any
attempt by the National Administration to ‘‘outbid the anacea_ neddlers” in the old age pension field
through hasty amendments to the
. law would. serve only to promote insecurity. The warning was promfte1i
by reports that Washington, concerned ver apparent strength of
pension panaceas, would try to
broaden the old age insurance program to include farm workers, domestics, and other excluded groups,
to advance the initial date for the
monthly payments from 14942 to
1940, to raise the monthly pension
minimum from $10 to. $30, to provide benefits for widows and orphans, and to boost the maximum
Federal contribution to state oldage assistance programs from $15
to $20 a month.
In the leading article in the November issue of its official bulletin,
“Social Security”, the Association
attributes the growth of pension
panaceas to disappointment with the
Social Security Act, but declares it
would be “utterly futile’ to rush
amendments through Congress merely to stave off pension Utopias.
It advocates abandonment of the
contemplated $47,000,000,000 oldage insurance reserve and institu_ tion of a pay as you go policy, and
holds that the present reserve
funds invested in government seéurities are liabilities instead of assets and that the same persons
whose contributions built up the reshould not occur oftener than every
five or ten years, instead of every
three years, as at present. Finally,
it says, the ultimate total contribution from workers and employers,
now set at 6 per cent, should not be
allowed ‘to go above 4 per cent.
Contending the unemployment insurance setup is. ‘totally unsound,
too inadequate, cumbersome and
costly to operate,’’ the association
calls for substantial revision of this
section of the Social Security Act.
It recommends establishment of a
single Federal tax in place of the 52
state and territorial systems now in
force and declares the tax for unemployment insurance should be coordinated with that for old age insurance to do away with costly duplications.

Every home should have one or two of these electric heaters now
being offered on exceptionally easy purchase terms. The convenience ofan electric heater during the seasons of sudden temperature changes makes it more than worth the first cost. The ability
of a good electric heater to give forth an abundance of healthful’
warm air, quickly, and in operating economy more than saves its first
cost in the days before “it is time to light a fire or start the furnace.”
The electric heater you buy, however, deserves thoughtful consideration. You should get the right type of heater—one that is
economical in operation. You will see four such electric héaters
pictured here. Briefly, beware of a CHEAP electric heater. Buy a
real quality product that is backed with a long term guarantee
against heating element burn-out. All four of the heaters pictured
here carry such a guarantee by the manufacturer.
Don’t say, “I can’t afford electric heat” or “Later on”. You can
afford it now. You do not have to wait. Buy your electric heater.
today while these easy purchase terms are in effect. You will be
