There is nothing finer than the determined effort of humanitarians and " the socially minded men and women, to assist in rendering old '.,-'- age safe from the horrors .of insecurity.

' There is no substitute for the old-age pension. The claim ' frequently fre-quently heard that ordinary charity char-ity should suffice the aged,-overlooks the fact that state pension laws have been passed for the very reason that charity does not meet the needs of . the aged. There have been poorhouses, infirmaries, county welfare organizations, and private charities; yet, the majority of the states have passed old-age pension laws, for the express pur- pose of doing something further, something better, than these institutions insti-tutions provide. . - v The Pennsylvania state secretary secre-tary of welfare, writes: "The law provides a normal community life It does not drain off and segregate, segre-gate, the aged; nor affront the self-respect of those receiving assistance. as-sistance. It has been found to be far ; more economical than any other, form of aid.
