realized a savings of more than
three quarters of a million dollars
in this manner during 1961.

Chanute AFB, Illinois, Civil Air Patrol concluded a highly
successful summer of special cadet activities. More than
10,000 cadets, both young men and women, participated
this year in the encampments, drill competition, IACE,
J e t O r i e n t a t i o n , FA A a n d S p a c e A g e c o u r s e s , a s w e l l a s
the 20th Annviresray Congressional Banquet
i n M a y.
Few people realize the tremendous task
involved in the planning of these activities
down to the most minute detail. Planning
and coordination require year-round attention and represent the untiring efforts of
hundreds of CAP members, U.S. Air Force
personnel, cooperation of the Air Force for
facilities and airlift, and the concerted planning of sere clubs and air forces of more
ASHWORTH than 20 countries.
This month I will ﬂy to Brussels, Belgium, to attend
the planning conference for the 1963 International Air Cadet
Exchange. There I will meet with the foreign representatives of nations who will participate in next year's exchange,
and from this meeting will come the blueprint for another
$uccessful IACE. Members of my staff at Ellington AFB
are already at work on the 1963 summer cadet activities.

(Ed Note~Charles J. Wood, regular cartoonist for CAP TIMES, is on vacation this month.
John Stampone, staff cartoonist for Army Times publications, consented to act as guest cartoonist during Mr. Wood's absence.)

But even the best of planning does not assure success.
The execution of the plan is where leadership, initiative,
and a lot of hard work are required as all of you well know
who have been directly involved in this summer's special
activities. The complexities of arranging airlift and the
problems that inevitably arise in caring for 10,000 cadets over Buddy System

L E X I N G TO N , K y. - - A f r u s t r a t ing search and rescue mission was
recently completed by the Kentucky Wing of CAP. It was alerted
to search for a light plane which
was reported to have been seen
ﬂy~ing low and possibly in trouble.
Explosions and ﬂares were reported and the search was intensiﬁed. After two days search
authorities questioned personnel
at a Boy Scout encampment in
the general search area for possible leads. They were told a
twin-engine aircraft was seen
ﬂying over the camp but not in
trouble.
Shortly after the plane passed
over the camp site, a ﬁreworks
display for the entertainment of
the scouts was held. Authorities
presumed this accounted for the
reported distress signals. There
were no reports of aircraft missing
in the area.

Medical Squadron 1004 of the
Civil Air Patrol, extended an invitation to all members of the
medical profession living or working in Delaware County to visit
the squadron.
Squadron 1004, recently completed its conversion from a search
and rescue to a medical unit. The
transformation included the acquisition of medical supplies and
equipment necessary to establish
and maintain a ﬁeld hospital. The
training of squadron personnel,
many of whom have received advanced Red Cross certiﬁcation,
was also included in the plan.
At the present time the CAP
Squadron stands ready to meet
any emergency at a moment's notice. Because Squadron 1004 is
the only unit of its type in the
Delaware County area, its activities are extremely vital.

them by their selection to attend
the course.

the United States as well, for you

your shoulders will soon rest the
responsibilities for the security of
our way of life."
T h e s e c o n d r e s p o n s i b i l i t y, h e
said, was to other CAP cadets who
could not attend because of course
limitations. He pointed out that
the need of thousands of other
cadets for the knowledge the
graduating class had acquired at
Maxwell was just as great as the
graduates' had been just a short
week before.
" I t i s y o u r r e s p o n s i b i l i t y, " C o l .
Ashworth declared, "to share
your experiences here -- and your
knowledge -- with other CAP
cadets on your return home to
your parent units."
Colonel Ashwortb expressed appreciation to the Air Force and
particularly to Maxwell AFB and
the Air University for the support
and cooperation that made the
course possible.

The exercises were held in the'
Air University Library auditorium.

The girls attended special
courses in aviation medicine at
nearby Gunter AFB, conducted by
the Medical Service School.
The cadets, ﬂown to Maxwell by
the Air Force, were welcomed on
a r r i v a I b y Col. William J.
Wrigglesworth, Base commander,
and touched off a full week of
thrills and excitement.
It was not all work for the girls,
however. They had picnics, swimm i n g , a c o k e p a r t y i n t h e WA F

"stunt night" at the Airmen's

After the graduation exercises,
Colonel Ashworth held an informal meeting with the cadets and
welcomed t h e i r c o m m e n t s a n d
questions.
Flight leaders of Flights A and
B were Margaret E. Smith, Wilmington, N. C., and Fada S. Curebridge, Barberton, Ohio, respectively. They received the graduation certiﬁcates for their ﬂights

Ala., and pointed its nose skyward
in a sweeping climb on what appeared to be another routine Air
Force training ﬂight. But this ﬂight
was destined to be far from routine!
In the front cockpit sat Capt.
C. A. Yannacone, USAF instructor
pilot. Behind him rode a helmeted
ﬁgure breathing deeply from an
unfamiliar oxygen mask, with only
a few stray wisps of light brown
hair giving any clue to the identity
of the passenger.
For Captain Yannacone it was
routine ﬂying, but it was far
from routine for pretty 17.yearold Cathy' L. Cavin of Aurora,
Colo. This was her ﬁrst ﬂight
in a T-33 jet and Cathy was one
of 48 Civil Air Patrol girl cadets
attending the 1962 Aerospace
Age Orientation S c h o 1 a r s h i p
course at Maxwell AFB who became teenage 3et jockeys this
summer.

He had wanted to be her pilot on
his ﬁrst ﬂight in a jet but the demands of the War College prevented a father-daughter ﬂying team
that morning.

ance and carefree spirits. With the
last frame of ﬁlm exposed, Capt.
Ceppelli advised Capt. Yannacone
over the radio that the photo mission was completed, and to "lead
off."
The last I saw of Cathy until we
were back on the ground was a
glimpse of her broad grin just before the wing blotted her from

immediate response of the T-33 to
her slightest movement reassured
her, and she lost all sense of time
--and direction--as she bored' a

On the ground once more, Cathy
climbed down from the T-'Bird and
walked back to operations with
