OLSON'S ACTION' Supervisor Smith's announcement followed the action last week of Governor Olson in turn-ing down appeals for a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of appropriating funds to meet an asserted unemployment crisis. fc The Governor, in turning down the request for the special session, told a committee from the will come out of wartorn Europe. The children in Poland and Spain are living like animals, and the consequences of the present German-Russian war will be inconceivably terrible, he says. One of the principal causes for juvenile delinquency, be says, is the realization in the child that there Is no connection between him and organized society. Then he grows up a criminal or at best a savage.
