(U.S. ARMY PHOTO) School Drop Out Joins Marines Earns BYU Degree 20 Years Later For Clay Boyd, of Orem,ithas been a long 20 years since he took his freshman year at the University Univer-sity of Wyoming following a four-year four-year stint as a PFC in the Marines. Mar-ines. Working with youth during his military career has caused him to become quite opinionated about today's youth, expecially his fellow fel-low classmates attending BYU. What vividly strikes Mr. Boyd about the BYU students is the fact that they are happy and smiling --and have a certain peace of mind that can't be seen on other college campuses. Having been on many military court martial boards, counseled young men in trouble in military brigs, and commanded as many as 300 young Marines (mostly under 20 years of age), Mr. Boyd believes be-lieves that adults can reach youth when they share a particular en vironment or hardship with these individuals; 'The bad thing about these daysespecially with narcoticsis narcot-icsis that it's usually just a oneway one-way street. In counseling military mili-tary men who A were, on various narcotics, I found that the greatest great-est problem was to get the person per-son to establish values to get him to see anything as right or wrong. These observations come through eyes that have seen two wars (Korea and Vietnam) and an army of occupation at the end of World War II, through traveling in 27 countries, crossing the Atlantic At-lantic Ocean 12 times and the Pacific Ocean eight times. Mr. Boyd, who with, his wife Betty has five children, was squadron commander of the 3rd Air Wing (an engineering squadron) squad-ron) at the El Toro (Calif.) Ma-; ring Air Base near Santa Ana at the time of his retirement. Many military career men are facing similar problems whether or not to retire to'some-thing to'some-thing else,' " said the former officer. of-ficer. "And that something else to me is to get my degree in youth leadership and work in youth rehabilitation. Mr. Boyd knows what it is to be a high school dropout. His father was an itinerant construction construc-tion worker and Clay was encouraged en-couraged at nine high schools to drop out. He did, and at age 17 he joined the Marines in 1945 later becoming be-coming a body gaurd for Adm. B. H. Bieri (6th Fleet Commander) Command-er) and participating in the occupation occu-pation of Italy at the close of World War II. Receiving his high school diploma di-ploma through the service, Mr, Boyd spent a year at the University Uni-versity of Wyoming (1950-51) before re-enlisting in a combat engineering battalion. He later EXCHANGING MARINE UNIFORM for college books, Major Clay Boyd is assisted by his wife Betty. The 41-year-old retired re-tired major has enrolled at Brigham Young University and will graduate this year in youth leadership and work in rehabilitation rehabilita-tion of youth. They now reside in Orem. f V JUZ went to officers' school, spent two years at sea on the U.S.S. Des Moines, saw duty in the Mediterranean during the 1956 Suez Crisis, advised a crack South Korean brigade assigned to Vietnam, and spent several years with Marine reserve units as inspector-instructor. While in the service, he took courses at the University of Indiana In-diana and Chapman College, and from the U.S. Armed Forces Institute. In-stitute. To culminate his necessary three semesters at BYU to obtain his degree, the former special forces (counter insurgency) officer of-ficer will take Larry Olson's survival course (Youth Leadership Leader-ship 480) for 26 days in the desert of southeastern Utah. Owners Beware Of Dognappers Owners of hunting dogs are advised ad-vised to take extra precautions before the pheasant hunt this fall.

Welfare Recoveries Increase For Family Services Recoveries for child support owed by absent fathers and recoveries re-coveries from fradulent receipt of public assistance jumped from $13,150 in August to $20,200 for September according to Richard Rich-ard P. Lindsay, Director, Division Divi-sion of Family Services. This increase in collections is attributed to a determined effort ef-fort on . the., part of, , both the Division and the Attorney General's Gen-eral's office to see that more absent fathers pay their oblighated child support and alimony, as well as to prosecute a smaller number num-ber of people receiving public assistance fraudlently. The regular regu-lar use of a computer to maintain main-tain up-to-date records will facilitate fac-ilitate this effort. The 1969 Legislature Leg-islature also authorized the Division Divi-sion of Famiy Services to use recovered funds for the hiring of additional investigators for the Recovery Section, as well as to contract for legal services from attorneys throughout the State. An unusually large collection of $13,425 was received early in October from the estate of, a person fraudulently receiving public assistance prior to death. The collection culminated a two-year two-year investigation by the Division Divi-sion of Family Services and was made possible by the increased availability of legal services.
