AN AVFRAGE MAN' Looking back over the years, Ma for Dickson believes his career would qualify him for a . typical average man. He has lived quiet ly, obeyed all federal, state and citv laws and has always been prompt In paying his taxes. Marriage in 192d provided the most unusual happening in his ca reer. He entered the holy bonds of matrimony on Discovery Point at Crater Lake. The Rev. Arthur L, Rice, Presbyterian pastor, at that time spent his summers, working as a ranger In Crater Lake Na tional Park. While visiting tile fa mous resort, Dickson and the for mer Viola Hill of GreaV Palls, Montana, suddenly decided to tnSe the fatal step. The Rev. Mr. Rice performed the nuptials on Discovery oint with William Steele. Commissioner of Crater Lake National Park, act ing as best man. BECAME TEACHER .

The guards men were sent to Herron, Illinois, which In 1923. was the scene of widespread violence due to a coal strike. The guard contingent to which Dirkson was attached didn't see any action. Major Dickson, after leaving Monmouth College, secured a teaching position in Klamath Falls through an employment agen cy. He taught commercial courses for one year at the Old Klamath Countv High School. SMALL PAY "Teachers In those days, got $120 a month," he explained. "I couldn't raise a family on that, so I took a job as a timekeeper with the Ewauna Box Company.' Dickson worked for that lirm for 20 years and when he resigned was personnel manager. He then bought a farm near Henley. In Jan uary, 1963 he took over the county assessor post. Major and Mrs. Dickson now re side at 358 Hillside Avenue.

The tailed fireball, boring: through the atmosphere at a ter-1 rlflo speed, was even sighted on central Oregon's high desert, about hafway between Bend and Burns.

Tb moderator was Ernest McBeth who Introduced the panel as follow. Bob Bonney, : recreation - depart ment, Paul Campbell, YMCA, and Terry Hannon, student body presi dent of KUHS. Bob Bonney said that the teen age problem is not the over now ering menace that people seem to think It to. We are harvesting the finest group of youths over. He said a Juvenile delinquent Is a per son with a problem and not a juvenile delinquent. He also stated that a family that plays together stays together. Terry Hannon said he would like to change the term from Juvenile delinquent to juvenile decency, we always hear about the bad aide of a child, he stated, but never do we hear of all the good things a Juvenile does. Most of the trouble in our high schools today la not with the students but with the par ents. Paul Campbell stated that par ents should find out what their children want to do and then help them to achieve It. He also asked this question: "Do we as adults try to understand the problems of our children enough to want to help them?" Ernest McBeth left this thought: ' "Have you as parents don your part In your child' education?" The meeting was called to order by Mrs. James Barnes, president.
