Judge Morrison Speaks To Lions Orange county, because of its high standard of living, has a lesser crime problem than comparative areas, Judge Kenneth Morrison of Santa Ana said in speaking on juvenile delinquency at the meeting of the Anaheim Lions club last Friday. Most crimes are committed by young men and boys, the speaker said, adding that 22 in the average age of prisoners sent to San Quentin. Two of the most important causes of juvenile delinquency, Morrison said, are domestic troubles and certain types of movie thrillers. In cases of parental separation the number of delinquents is largely due to the fact that the child often had many hours of undirected leisure time. The number of delinquents coming from religious homes in much smaller than the number from non-religious homes, the speaker observed.

He hat "to not let any start down the road of Social security is one of the most important legislative measures adopted by the United States congress in the past four or five decades, was the statement of Ernest Bryan, speaker at this morning's meeting of the Anaheim Merchants association. The speaker reviewed briefly the history of social securities movements both in this country and in foreign countries. Germany, France and Great Britain all have had social security legislation for several years. The movement in this country, however, is new, but is now one of the most talked of phases of the federal government, Bryan said. Movement Grows The social security consciousness which has grown so rapidly in this country in the past two or three years is due to several reasons, the speaker declared. The percentage of persons more than 65 years of age has increased considerably since the first of the century and indications are that the rate will continue to grow. Another reason is that the population is shifting rapidly from rural to urban. Old people and living conditions in the city harder than in the country, the speaker declared. Another important factor is the retirement plans in force for the past several years by some of the large business concerns of the company. These plans have proved of benefit to both employers and employees of the concerns, Bryan said, with the result that more people are desirious of having old age benefits. Change Advocated A fourth factor is the new social gospel, as he phrased it, that has swept the country recently. Several different types of organizations have sprung up, each advocating a change in the economic structure of the nation to provide security for old people. The depression also made a large portion of the nation social security conscious. Social security in this country in a mammoth undertaking, Bryan declared. Many thousands of persons are employed to handle its administrations and about 26 million others are involved by it. The amount of money involved is tremendous, he said.

Social security in this country in a mammoth undertaking, Bryan declared. Many thousands of persons are employed to handle its administrations and about 26 million others are involved by it. The amount of money involved is tremendous, he said. Three Main Benefits The three main provisions of the plan are the old age retirement benefits, old age pensions, and the plan for unemployment insurance compensation.
