Oakland County's handling of
the juvenile delinquency prob
lem, through the Probate Court
referee plan, was explained to
members of the local Rotary
Club at their meeting Thursday
by Kenneth McVitte, chief pro-
baton officer of Oakland Coun-
~.
McVitte was guest of John
n. Ahrens, probation officer at

Probate Judge Joseph V. from
bly,, of this county, was also a
guest at the club luncheon, pre-
sided over by President Oscar
Watz.
The Oakland County court Of
ficer described his office as that
OF referee in juvenile cases

to an institution is required.
Commitment cases must be
handled by the probate Judge.
Referee McVitte is enabled to
clear up a large part of the &C
cumulated minor cases, without
encroaching on the time of the
Probate Judge.
He explained that state law
allows for establishment of ju-
venile court presided over by a
referee in any county with a
population of 100000 or more
(Which would include Macomb.}
The law provides that the Pro-
bate Judge may appoint a ref

The Oakland referee described
various delinquency problems
current throughout this area
and mentioned typical cases.
Rotarians were exhorted to
lend full support to the Fourth
War Loan Drive by member
Walter Lehner, chairman of the
clubs bond committee. Lehner
reported that 20 per cent of the
club self-imposed quota had
been realized so far.

After listening TO a descrip-

A small but highly engrossed

He predicted pocket tele-

that can be transformed from
bedrooms TO parlors with the
push Of a button.
A ninble- witted, poised, and
w @ l-balanced speaker. DR..
Thomas showed an outstanding
capability for having numerous
figures and statistics at his fin
ger-tips.
Reasoning that since the life

en- throughout the years along
with the advances made by sci
ence. he foresaw the time when
average man will live to be 125
years old.
Immediately at the end Of
the war" he declared. Our
peacetime production will take
on from where il left off. Our
automobile manufacturers. for
instance, will start turning out
the same model cars they were
turning out in 1912, perhaps
with a few gadgets and i'm
provements added. But in an
other year or two after that,
We'll see some drastic changes
in the new model cars they'll be
putting out"
Warning. however. that these
change-overs from our present
life can not come overnight. DR..
Thomas said it would be a grad
ual conversion over a period of
about 25 years.

Allies Weaken
Tojo Asserts
Premier Urges Jops
to Produce Planes

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l-(P)-
Premier Hideki TOTO told the
japanese diet today that "a
golden opportunity was al
hand to strike a crushing blow
against the Allies and called for
expansion of Japan's National
Labor Service to speed to the
front superior aircraft" ac-
cording to Domei broadcast
over the Tokyo radio.
The broadcast, recorded by
u. S. government monitors
quoted TOTO as saying that air
power will decide the general
trend in the present war situa-
ton and determine its out
come" He warned, however, the
Japan ability to deliver planes
depended on an immediate in
crease in basic war materials
such as iron, light metals and
coal; an Improvement in land
an sea transportation, and an
expansion of the labor service.
According to Domei, TOTO told
the diet that unrest in the
United States and increasing
exhaustion" in Great Britain
had given both countries" d
craving for a short war"
Munitions production, upon
which the United States greatly
relies, already has reached its
peak and as problem of material
and manpoWer arise, unrest in
creases in intensity, "Tojo was
quoted as saying. He added:
I'm Britain the national
strength has declined and the
degree of exhaustion is becom-
ing greater and greater"
Discussing the Allied often
sive in the Pacific, TOTO asserted
it was the desperate" result of
a craving for a short war;
while "outwardly talking a long
war"
THE enemy" he said, "is in a
fit of Impotence. When the enc
my is in such a state, a golden
opportunity not to be missed is
offered us to inflict upon them a
crushing blow and drive them to
their catastrophe end"
