during their ]eisure time--the result is boredom for both
parents and children. Boredom is a prime ingredient of
juvenile delinquency m a serious problem

Civil Air Patrol is providing a substitute
for leisure time through aerospace education and the cadet program, with an enrollment of more than 36,000 youngsters aged
14 to 18. Between June and September of

NEW FILM... Attention is invited to a new film called "Search
Operations," which tells the dramatic story of the search for a missing
Air Force plane. Although CAP is on the screen only briefly, the film
successfully points up the fact that CAP is an important member of a
team which includes the Air Force. Army and Coast Guard. The film
ia available from the Air Force Film Library.

SPEAKING GUIDE... The new "CAP Spea~ers Guide" has gone
to press, and indications are that it will be an excellent item for
commanders and information officers. Distribution has been set for
sometime this month if publication schedules are met.

OPTIMISTS . . . A new booklet, entitled "How to Sponsor
a CAP Cadet Squadron," has gone into distribution to the field.
The booklet Is designed for use by the Optimist Clubs of the
U.S. in promoting development of youth, in keeping with the
pledged support of Optimist International.
NO PIX... National Headquarters continues to receive requests
for photographs, er modets of aircraft, missiles and similar pictures.
These items are not available through Air Force procurement channels
and are not available from National. Do not request these through
your USAF liaison office for AFR 100-14 specifically prohibits AF
officers from soliciting such materials, free of charge from manufacturers. Individuals can perhaps negotiate for this type of material,
but they cannot represent themselves as agents for, or members of,
the USAF.

PIFLASHES . . . Many unit information officers are still failing
to comply with CAPR 190-4 in reporting missions to National Headquarters. PIFLASHes are designed to get lnfo to headquarters as
quickly sa possible in a format for rewrite in CAP TIMES and for
historical records. The regulation .should be a permanent part of
every mission commander's kit, and IOs should follow its directions
to the letter.
,8

WRONG ADDRESS . . . Some unit information officers are
still sending stories and photographs for CAP TIMES to the old
Washington, D.C. address, in spite of constant reminders to the
contrary. CAP TIMES material should be sent to National Headquarters at EIllngton AFB, Texas. Missent copy could delay receipt to the point of making such material too old for use In
CAP TIMES.
@

HISTORICAL . . . Unit commanders and information officers
should be thinking now of gathering material for the 213t Anniversary
issue (December) of CAP TIMES. This material should include
such lteme as outstanding accomplishment of a unit, historical background, former commanders. A check of the 1961 20th Anniversary
luue of CAP TIMES should provide a good yardstick of the type

HUNTING
METEORITES

TECHNIQUES used to find parts of crashed planes were used by the CAP
searchers hunting fragments of the meteorite presumed to have fallen in the

area. The search took place in the sage and juniper country west of Los
Alamos. No traces of the meteorite were found by the searchers.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M.Techniques adopted for hunting fragments of crashed aircraft in brush country were
put to scientific use recently
--a meteorite search--by members
of the Los Alamos CAP Squadron.
The search was conducted at the
request of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory of the University
of California, and reported by J. A.
Lowry, Jr., of the laboratory's public relations office, with photos.
A score of searchers scoured the
sagebrush and Juniper hills some
40 miles west of Los Alamos in
hopes of finding fragments of a
meteorite believed to have fallen
in that region.
The local CAP unit volunteered
its services in the search, and used
the expedition as a field exercise.
