ets. 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
. Major Dickson was born in Clar
ion, Iowa, in June, 1903. After at
tending grammar and high school
there, he enrolled for training as
an educator at Monmouth College
in Monmouth, Illinois. He was
graduated in 1926.
While at Monmouth, Dickson
joined the national guard and won I

he was undecided Wednesday night
at the city council meeting.
The two council members who
will not run are James Haley and
Marjorle Young. Haley, a logging
contractor, said he can't do justice
to both his job and the city. Miss
Young Indicated one term is suf
ficient. Undecided was Richard
Renaud. who has served a total
of 14 years but still has several
issues he feels a vital concern
about..
Chester Porter, city treasurer
and Errol Beaughan. city clerk,
both announced they will seek re
election. In two other items of business.
the council asked for federal aid
in repairing two flood damaged
roads and decided to ignore the
state-authorized county retail sales
tax issue unless' the Siskiyou Coun
ty board of supervisors takes an
interest in the matter.
Councilmen discussed ' federal
flood relief funds with E. Rex
Riley of Redding, civil defense
coordinator of Region 2. Riley said

the military title he has since car
ried. During his guard career, it
appeared for a time that something
unusual might happen. 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.

Mayor Fred Lloyd replied by
noting two streets, River and Gillls
avenues, have only one access en
trance each because of flood dam
age and asked aid in correcting
the problem. Councilmen author
ized Lloyd to idmlnister federal
relief fund's and requested the
army corps of engineers to make a
survey of damage to the city.1
Lloyd, In outlining the sale tax
issue, said as a result of attending
a Northern California Supervisors
Association meeting, he is con
vinced Dunsmuir need have no
concern unless the county board
of supervisors proposes the tax.
In other business, the city coun
cil authorized increased garbage
rates for a list submitted by Bob
Dickson, commissioner. Generally
commercial users were up from
$1.25 to $1.50 per month.

Artifactors. According to Dr. Claude Schaeffer, curator of
Klamath County Museum, these devices war mad from the

Green Fireball
By Oregon Sky
BEND A large green fireball
with a flaring tall Unit blazed out
of Pacific skies at about 5:H5 p.m.

southwestern Oregon coast as Its
target, but possibly never reached

The blazing meteor, so brilliant
In some areas that It virtually
floodlighted the landscape in the
deep dusk of the January evening,
was apparently not observed along
the Southern Oregon coast or In
northwestern California because
of a heavy cloud cover.
The tailed fireball, boring:
through the atmosphere at a ter-1

central Oregon's high desert, about
hafway between Bend and Burns.
Brognn said the meteor appar
ently became visible about 70
miles above the earth as It blazed
In from the Pacific Ocean. It was
still some 300 miles to the west
when sighted by Allen Dickinson
near Cheshire and by Lea Small, j
who saw the object from Jeffer- f

. By Mrs. Welt Coaraay , '-
Wednesday, ' January . II.' "I
Mills School PTA meet la the
school auditorium at 7:46 p.m. to
hear a forum on "Problems of Our
Youths Today. and ' What Our
Community Is Doing to Help." 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.
The flag salute was led by Mrs.
