A member of The Christian
Science Board of Lectureship,
the speaker's topic was "The

Through Christian Science.'
Denying that scientific
prayer is a process of begging
God for material blessings, he
empnasized that prayer as un

is communion with God and
His great fundamental facts
of being.
"To protect our civilization
Christian Science teaches us
to pray daily, whether we

General Dean Finds
Retirement Active
By JOHN STAFFORD
Mail Tribune Staff Writer
How docs a man who has
spent more than 30 years
serving his country find re
tirement? Maj. Gen. William
F. Dean finds it active and
stimulating. He was in Med
ford Friday, serving as mar
shal of Veteran's day parade.
Dean is a veteran of two
wars. He served in World
War II and the Korean con
flict. He achieved world
fame for his courage and
stamina while enduring a
three -year imprisonment by
the North Korea and Chinese
Communists in the Korean
War. He was captured in 1950
and released in 1953.
In 1954 Dean wrote a series
of articles for a national
magazine telling of his exper
iences as a prisoner of war.
The articles described the or
deals he went through.
Stands Tall and Erect
What does William Dean
look like today, 10 years after
his capture? He is tall and
erect. He has snow white hair
which makes a striking con

by California sun rays. His
eyes aren't sparkling. They
are gray, probably not so
much from his 61 years, as
from his horrible ordeal in
Korea. ,
However, in talking with
Dean, the impression is given
that here is a man who really
appreciates and knows how
fortunate he is to be here.
Dean and his wife, Mildred.
live in Berkeley, Calif.
He retired from the Army
five years ago. Since then, his
schedule has been vigorous.
"Almost as vigorous as when
I was in the service," he says.
i spend a great deal of time
traveling all over the U.S.
speaking to good will and
charity groups," he says.
Son in Air Force
He also has a son who is
In the Air Force in Texas.
"Speakers for Air Force
graduation ceremonies are
scarce, so once in a while my
son comes to California in a
jet, picks me up and takes
me to Texas to address the
graduates," Dean related.
He is also in great demand
by the Army for personal ap
pearances at Army posts
throughout the country.
"I never get everything ac
complished in a day that I
want to," he says.
Somehow, one gets the im
pression that he is a man who
wants to make up for three
years lost time in helping
humanity.

out that Sergeant Santo re
ceived a Silver Star for his
gallantry in action in the Sol
omon islands, and was post
humously awarded a Bronze
Oak-Leaf Cluster for gallan
try In action at San Manuel,
Luzon, Philippine islands.
General Prentice said Ser
geant Santo exposed himself
to the enemy at San Manuel
in order to draw fire away
from members of his platoon
on Jan. 24, 1945. The plan
worked, but in so doing, Ser
geant Santo was seriously
wounded by enemy mortar
fragments, he said.
Raised in Medford
Sergeant Santo died several
days later on Feb. 5, while on
board a hospital ship. He was
27. He had been raised in Med
ford and graduated from Med
ford High school in 1938.
In his address General
Dean, himself a prisoner of
the Communists for three
years in the Korean war, said
that "many unthinking Am
ericans" no longer feel there
is a need for soldiers. They
think ballistic missiles are
enough because the next war
will be decided in seconds, he
said.
But, "this is what the Com
munists would like us to think
and they would like us to pre
pare accordingly," the general
said.
"This enemy of ours only
respects strength and if ws
are to retain peace in this
world we must indicate and
prove we are strong," he as.
serted. The presence of U. S,;
troops in Europe, he said,'
gives our Allies "hope and
strength."
General Dean said "every
war that the U. S. has bought
has been won by the citizen
soldier-ground, air and Navy
-all important, all working
together as a team,"
A telegram from Secretary
of the Army William M,
Brucker, was read at the cere
monies. Brucker said on be
half of the department of the
Army he joins in dedicating
the center "to a gallant sol
dier and an outstanding citi
zen . . . from Medford, Ore
gon." Army units assigned to San
to hall are the 2nd Battalion,
414th Regiment; 382nd Quar
termaster Battalion; Receiving
Company, 104th Division; and
the 6337th Infantry Division.
