FRESH FISH DAILY DIXIE SEAFOOD CO. 127 Washington Phone 1800 MONTGOMKRY, Oct. 16 Onr of Alabama' most notorious criminals who suddenly reformed 20 years ago and even helped others go straight has rereived official recognition for his life as a model citizen.

Roy Dickerson. whose career from 1914 to 1929 reads like a detective story thriller, has been appointed an honorary colonel on Gov, James E. Folsoms staff in the state militia. Folsom, who described the exconvict as Alabamas most famous reformed lawbreaker of this generation, said the appointment was made to show the states appreciation for the comeback from a life of crime And, incidentally, he said, Dickerson has been a loyal supporter of the Folsom administration. It was in 1929 that Dickerson decided to go straight after a long criminal record that included a 25-year sentence for robbing the Phe-nix-Girard bank.

After six years as a model prisoner, Gov. Bibb Graves granted a conditional parole which was made permanent in 1938. Then two years later Dickerson's full civil and political rights were restored. Now 54, the onetime desperado is living at Nauvoo, Ala. Dickerson was arrested in 1920 for his part in the $15,000 Phenix-Girard bank, but escaped to California, where he was arrested two years later.

Convicted and given a 26-year term In 1922, he fled from James W. Voltz president of the Central Alabama Hardware Company, left recently for Sarasota, to spend the early winter, accompanied by Mrs. Voltz. They were driven down by their son-in-law, Bill High, who returned to Selma. Rsee Thacker of Burtisville, member of the Air Corps Reserve, has received a call to report for "active duty on Nov.

16-0P) It was school as usual at Onward today. Angry demonstrators had won the first round, at least. In their fight to prevent a school merger. Forty state troopers pulled out Saturday under orders from Governor Schricker. The troopers had been sent to escort a scheduled transfer of school desks between Onward and nearby Walton.

However a crowd of 1,500 gathered at the Onward school. Women carrying American flags picketed the doorways. Trustee Virgil Turner, who ordered the merger on the grounds of efficiency and economy, said he didnt know what his next move would be. The dispute centers around Turners plan to operate a single Tip-ton township high school at Walton and single township grade school at Onward. Each town has a complete school of its own until this year, and onward has vowed to keep it that way.

Maj. Robert ONeal, state police executive officer, said he told the governor he feared bloodshed would result if the school desk switch was made. He said the governor then rescinded the order that sent troops in. Turner said a smaller staff could teach a better curriculum at less expense in a single school. The state board of education endorsed his merger plan.

Skinner, assistant manager of Sears Roebuck store here visited the distributive educat'on at Parrish High School last week to give a tain on The Willmark Professional Shopping Service. Skinner explained that Willmark is a New York corporation composed of professional shoppers who make actual purchases of merchandise at least twice annually in every store employing their professional shopping service. Stores usually employ the Will-mark- or some similar professional shopping service for three reasons.

Skinner said: First to determine the efficiency of the stares employes; second, to protect the stores customers by guaranteeing the customer good service; and third, to detect dishonesty, if it should exist, among the employes Skinner brought with him an actual sample report, pointing out to the students how Willmark rates employes on promptness, alertness, courtesy, honesty, a pleasant manner, knowledge of merchandise and the use of suggestive selling. Skinner stressed the importance which the service and all merchants attach to suggestion selling He pointed out that salespeople, who make suggestions which help the customers to buy wisely, actually benefit both the store and the customers. He emphasized the importance of a sales persons first impression with a customer. The best greeting were discussed and the speaker concluded that the art of selling consists in cultivating the habit of doing many small things well.

Ben-Gurion resigned last night after three Religious Bloc mem. bers in his outgoing cabinet told him they were withdrawing from the government because they did not like a recent cabinet change proposed in the face of Israels financial plight. Later President Chaim Weizmann after consulting all party leaders asked Ben-Burion to form a new cabinet for presentation to the Knesset, Israels parliament.

The Knesset reconvenes here today after a two-month recess. If the Knesset refuses to accept a new government under Ben-Gurion, new elections may be called. The present cabinet continues on a caretaker basis. The Religious Bloc members who quit yesterday represent a coalition of the very devoit, orthodox and Conservative members of the parliament. They opposed Ben-Gurion's recent proposal to appoint Jack Ger.
