Judge J.M. Combs
Addresses Old Age
Pension Association
Ten Killed In
Auto Accidents
Over Week-End
The address of Judge John / M..
Combs of the ninth court of civil
appeals of Beaumont was outstand-
ing on the program of the Orange
Old Age Pension! association held at
the court house Saturday aftcrhaon-
Judge Combs said that while his
''mind was not yet clear as to how
the plan ojC.„,providing for the unpro-
tected—aged and "infirm, should be
handled, that it was a fact that the
situation demanded the most sincere
thought, on the part of the leaders
of the nation." He was entirely in
sympathy with the movement, that
would tend to enlighten the people
to the end that they might find/ a
way. He sai<l that, it was- a
pitiable situation under modern ,con-
ditions when machinery had-'' been
built that would eliminate workers
by the millions, and that this condi-
tion tended to create such a scarcity
of employment ■ that only those most
physically fit could be used, to the
almost utter exclusion of the toiling
man over 60 yearn old. He pictured
the sad life that embraced orphan
children, although there was' usually
an avenue of protection afforded
them because of (lie promise held for
them In the future. This, he said,
did not apply with the aged person
unable to sustain himself in the
evening of life. > —
Judge Daniel Work, chief justice
Of the ■ court of civil appeals, spoke
briefly in behalf of the old age pen-
sion movement.
