Juvenile Court in 1951 stating
that in all but a few of the larger
counties the Superior Court
Judge acted as Juvenile Court
Judge; that this Court was a
secret court, not open to the
public and that when it was
found necessary to confine a
juvenile, this did not constiute a
conviction but a transference of
(authority from the parents to
the Courts.
Among other changes which
he mentioned were the expanded
services of the Department of
Public Wefare- He spoke of the
benefits received through this
but to receive these benefits, he
said, a person must answer ques¬

We give up, the Judge continued,
a bit of our privacy in return for
some benefit f r o m a public
agency, so it is true that every
time a benefit comes about part
of our “right of privacy” is taken
away.
Each benefit takes away a
part of our right of privacy and
is fraught with fringes on our
human rights and .liberty, the
Judge said. We have paid for our
liberty and it must be protected
by vigilence and attention on the
part of every citizen. He contin¬
