Dixon 10 Urge
End Of Strike
Superintendent
Denied Contract

ST. CLAIR SHORES-Lake
Shore High school students who
went on strike Friday protest
ing the dismissal of Frank A
Dixon, superintendent of Lake
School District No. I, will b.
told to return to their classe,
Monday, Dixon said today.
Dixon was vague as to the
method he will use in ending the
one-day strike. Asked if he
would address strikers from the
school steps or appear individ-
ually to leaders, Dixon said,
Your guess is as good as
mine"
Dixon was denied new con-
tract Thursday by a 3 to 2
Board of Education vote at a
stormy session attended by 200
residents of the district. The
action came after Harold Rein
hardt, board secretary, charged
that Dixon raised ID of his
daughters % marks to make
her eligible for a Student Aid of
Michigan scholarship.
Its nice to know the kids
are with you and appreciate
the sentiment behind it, but
striking doesn't settle any
thing" Dixon commented.
Dixon indicated, however,
that his appeal to the students
may fail. "These youngsters
are backed up by their parents
which makes the situation doub-
ly difficult"
He denied that use of his home
near the school by pickets Fri
day gave his implied consent to
the strike. 1.-The youngsters
gathered there while Mrs. Dixon
was at a neighbors. She scoot-
ed them out in a hurry as soon
as she found them there"
He insisted that his daughter,

Boat owners-from shippers of
