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 . , serve in the first place would be taxed again to pay interest on the securities. {"] .

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 . tidn or repair, the supplying of high 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.
