George Dickson had his old friend
"Frenchy Amar" tell the men at Ro-
tary just how to run a harbor. The
Port of Long Beach is or soon will
be the largest created harbor in the,
world, and to think it is only a stones

Frenchy is about to build. In case you
are ever in Long Beach and want to
see. something interesting, just spend
a leisure five minutes in Pier A. It is
5950 ,feet long and is constructed with
steel and concrete.
Jos. E. Josephs, reside.nt manager of
the Ocean Accident and Guarantee
Corp. of Los Angeles, will be the
speaker this week. He has spoken
here before and we are anticipating
his return engagement. Whenever I
hear the word "accident", I always
think of the dumb question that is
so often used, when two or three cars
smash into each other and somebody
gets mangled, there is always some
guy that rushes up and asks, "have an
accident?" The. poor fellow who was
pinned underneath the car meekly
replied, "No thanks, I just had one".
Next week the Rotary Club is invit-
ing the senior boys from the high
school to 'be their guests at breakfast.

JUVENILE MOTIVATION
BY THE EDITOR
"I am interested in juvenile delin-
quency and its motives . . . why are
some tee.n-agers so strongly motivalted
toward crime?" . . .
Answer : Many strongly motivated
persons whose ambitions tend toward
anti-social behavior and crime are in-
fluenced by disorders in the brain ancI
by toxic sediments in the blood.
Misreading human motivation makes
interesting crime fiction. Then, too,
motivation adds strength when humans
attempt to express their differences of
opinion. Coordination of.motivation to-
ward a definite purpose, not only ex-
cites the imagination and the emotions
but it keeps the mind focused in one
central channel of thought and action.
"Crime motives" frequently chatage
their value when placed in a different
set of circumstances. It is permissible
to kill an enemy in war; but it is
"rrmrder" if the act is done witllout
consent of the government.
There is so much contradiction in
human motivation that the motives of
"teen-agers" of the "scatter-brained"
variety are often very difficult to in-
terpret, classify or standardise. Motives
and intentions can be changed with
lightning rapidity . . . A child nlust
learn to walk, eat, talk and think--it
must learn to use the forces that in-
fluence its mind. emotions anti be-
havior. I,f it lacks instruction in moral
and sldritual knowledge, its conduct
will be responses to physical desires
and appetites.
Indigestion often results in despon-

when the motive is to travel north such
a person becomes befuddled and con-
confused. He wastes a lot of energy
and "'eels nowhere".

quency" is the direct result of defec-
tive training. Then ak~ain il may be, le~
