AS RANCH HAND Boss Richardson, bom .in Oorris, came to Lake County in 1919 to ride with the ZX Ranch. He entered the first Lakeview Roundup in 1920 and proved top man. He is shown here at righr, with an unidentified friend during his ranching days. By ceokgf: alotkico Tlie rate of school dropouts in Klamath County is not alarm ing compared to the higher state and national rates, but this is no reason (or county residents to be complacent . . . DROPOUTS AUE A GROWING PROBLEM. And the problem needs con stant attention, school superinten dents Ray Hunsaker, city, and! Clilf Robinson, county, indicated in recent interviews with the Her ald and News. "A lot can be done to slow the rale at KU. Basically, we need to adjust our programs to challenge those who begin to lose interest in school," Hunsaker said. "All dropouts are regrettable and we are always searching or ways of keeping children in school. In the county district we can do more than we are now doing for the non-academic mind ed children," Cliff Robinson said. The rate of school dropouts is being viewed with deep concern on a national level as the prob lem is now seen to affect other problems such as unemployment, manpower shortages in technical fields and juvenile delinquency. Growing concern has even been reflected on the highest lev el, as President Kennedy told re porters in an Aug. 1 news con ference: "The greatest growth in labor demand today is for highly trained professional workers with 16 or more years of education. The- second fastest growing de mand is (or technical and semi professional workers with one to three years of post-high school education. Between 1952 and 19B2 jobs lilted by high school gradu ates rose 30 per cent. So I am asking all American parents to urge their children to go back to school in September, and to assist them in every way to stay in school." What will it take to keep the students in school? For the most part it's going to take a whole new approach to the educational system, especially as it aflects the dropout student, many educa tors feel. -More courses must be gauged to fit the abilities of the poten tial dropout. More courses mean more money, money which up to this point citizens have been un willing to part with. "After all, what docs this -type of kid need an education for, why must we backpcddle to teach the slow learners . . . sink or swim," is the attitude of many. Stemming the tide of dropouts now, will save money in the future, however. It will mean few er unemployment checks a n d less free-tuition "rides" to state reformatories and penitentiaries ipaid for with taxpayers' money). It will also mean a good start in filling' the gaps in our technical manpower shortage. Francis Scapple. assistant prin- Wallace Reports Plan To Offer 5 Resolutions cipal at KU. said about 75 per cent of the dropouts can do aver age or belter school work, bul in most cases they lack interest and reiuse to work. "Most of these students have no self discipline and find the ordinary classroom routine very difficult: it's a psychological problem as much as anything," Scapple said. What thes'e students need first is good counseling, tlie assistant principal indicated. Someone must find a way to hit on the student's real interests before the counselor knows where to place the student in the school pro gram. "They lack confidence too and they must be directed to areas where they can 4ind a sense of accomplishment," Scapple said. What do these students do w hen they leave school, Scapple was asked. Some find jobs that they don't keep long, others go into the service, many find their way into juvenile homes and some just stay home and sponge on their parents, he indicated. If the rate is something to worry about, just what have we been doing to prevent it? In the county school district principals for the first time this year are being asked to keep ac curate records on dropouts and the reasons why each student is leaving. Previously, when a student left school, officials didn't know if the family, was moving, if t h e youth had to seek employment to help support tlie family, if he didn't get along with his teach ers, if he wanted to join the serv ce because his next door neigh bor did, or if he just plain didn t like school. Teachers in the county system will again this year be asked to take a personal interest in tlie situation and are asked to con tact at least one potential drop out at home in an effort to find out what the problem is and what might be done about it. This method, however, has ob vious limitation;, one of which is that not enough contacts can be made and not enough time allot ted in each case. "Something needs to be done other than appealing to these kids to stay in school for mone tary reasons. Telling them they II earn more money with a high school diploma doesn't do the trick," Hunsaker said. "To really get at the core of this problem you have to adjust the curriculum, gear the pro gram to the Interests and abilities of the potential dropout, ne said. A lot of these students would respond to vocational training. Programs with math and science have a sense of accomplishment courses geared to tlie vocations! in school. If a student can't "cut" would be necessary, but one of; math and science you have to the problems is that academic , find out what he can "cut" to courses are cheaper lo run than give him desire and initiative in- vocational, considering the type' stead of constant frustration, of equipment that might be need-1 There are other problems Di ed in shops. volvcd as illustrated by assistant One of the first needs of anl principal Scapple s comments, student, whether he is a potential j The problem is a big one, and it dropout or college-bound, is to needs a big cure.

That glamour will be projected into the 44th annual Lake County Roundup this year with the dedi cation of the show to the mem ory of the greatest of all lliese riders Boss Richardson. The mention of his name will breed nostalgia for many here who remember the showmanship (hat was as natural as his ability. in those years of the first rodeo shows.

She tells of the 1923 rodeo in Klam ath Falls when they were flat broke, but Boss earned $1,000 hy winning tlie championship belt with first places in bucking horse and roping events. He furthered his fame in Pendleton, and was even offered a bid to Hollywood, which he tinned down because of his wife's reluctance to par. ticipate in movie life. He went broke in the sheep busi ness, with several of his contem poraries; worked in timber bought cattle on shares, and for several years owned a ranch at Bly. He participated in commu nity life by acting as grange mas ter for four consecutive years. In 1946 the family moved to Wag- ontire and lived there for two years: Ihen moving to ljurns where they built a home, tn addition to taking care of 10 acres there he took a 'job in a moulding plant at Hincs. In 1952 he was hit in Hie right eye by an air hose and never complete ly recovered from the injury. Mrs. Richardson now lives with her mother, Mrs. Rosa Tucker, in Paisley. There arc two daugh ters, Mrs. Lorraine Lynch ol Burns, who was queen of the Klamath Falls rodeo in 1940, and Mrs. Elaine Stout of Burns, and three grandchildren.

The "fighting little judge." an nounced in Montgomery Friday that he will present the touchy esolutions and ask the governors to go on record in opposition to President Kennedy s proposed civ il rights measures. In so doing, Wallace may let loose a hornet's nest similar to1 the civil rights controversy that eruDted last month in Miami Beach at the National liovernors Conference. , , The conferences traditionally avoid controversial issues.

So many of the southern and border states governors meeting have adopted moderate postures on civil rights that majorities in favor of Wallace's resolutions ap pear impossible, even if the Ala bama governor attempts to force the issue. Wallace has not said what he would do i the conference reso lution committee declines to re port his five proposals to the llnor to adopt them. The five-man committee that will consider the resolutions in an executive session, is not a standing committee. It will be named by conference chairman Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas after the four-day meeting begins Wallace's resolutions would put the southern governors oil record in calling for defeat of the Ken nedy administration civil rights program in Congress, denouncing use ol federal troops lo' enforce school desegregation orders, and protesting the massive civil rights program in Congress, denouncing use nf federal troops to enforce school desegregation orders, and protesting the massive civil rights march planned in Washington Aug. 2(1.

It is of great value in the ear CHICAGO (UPD-Civil rights groups Saturday considered court action in the flaming dispute over use of mobile classrooms in pre dominately Negro neighborhoods on Chicago's South Side. State Rep. Charles F. Arm strong, a Chicago Democrat, said integrationists would use a new state law sponsored by him lo seek an injunction against the Chicago Board of Education. Armstrong's law, which went into effect July 1, forbids "erect ing, purchasing or otherwise ac quiring buildings for school pur poses . . . lp such a manner as to promote segregation and sep aration of children in public schools because of color, race or nationality." , Armstrong said I think the mobile classrooms violate this law," ' Civil- fights demonstrators the past two weeks demonstrated at the construction site of mobile classrooms. Although more than 160 persons were arrested, and several persons, including police men, were injured, the school board has refused to halt the construction. The demonstrators insist the 800 children who would 'use the mobile units could attend nearby predominately white schools until a new school is built in the Ne gro neighborhood. Although the school board re fused to halt the construction, it did vote to lake a head count of students in public schools to de termine the number of w hites and Negroes at each school. Friday, usually - calm Mayor Richard Daley lasliel out at demonstators who picketed the home of school board President Clair M. Roddewig, whose wife was ill at the time.

Rusk Sees Little Hope For Complete Agreement WASHINGTON UPH Secre tary of State Dean Rusk is opti mistic Russia may be willing to make isolated agreements to ease tensions with the West, but sees little hope ol a solution now to all cold war issues. One potential agreement the United States would be willing to discuss, Rusk tolk his news con ference Friday, would be the pro posal to station observation teams at transportation centers in ma jor countries. The teams would be on the lookout for large-scale troop movements w hich might in dicate a surprise attack was in the offing. But Rusk cautioned against ty ing together cold war issues in an attempt to settle all con flicts in one session. The more issues such as disarmament, Ber lin, non-aggression pacts or nuc lear free zones that arc linked, he said, the more difficult negotia tions would become. As a "very helpful contribu tion" to further easing tensions, Rusk said, the Soviet Union should agree to remove its re maining troops from Cuba. tic said that while he was in Moscow he told Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko of the United States' interest in secijig all Rus sian troops pulled off the island, but would not reveal the Soviet official's reply. Shortly after Rusk's conference, the joint House-Senate Republican leadership called on tlie Russians to withdraw the troops as a "demonstration of good faith" be fore the United Stales takes any "second step" toward new agree ments with the Soviet Union. Since last May when the Senate aimed services subcommittee es timates there were 17,500 Soviet troops still on the island, the .group said that "so far as can be learned, no significant reduc tion has been made in the Soviet forces since."
