CAP National Chairman

Progressive Maturity

NATIONAL BOARD of Civil Air
T HE annual meeting in Houston, Texas Patrol adjourned
its
last month after a
most productive session which adopted, by overwhelming
vote, a number of signiﬁcant changes that will have a farreaching effect on CAP's future.
It has been said that "change means
progress." If this be true, then CAP is on
course and has passed the "point of no return," for the changes I noted during the

relinquished the chairmanship to Colonel Paul W. Turner
CAP, of Nashville, Tenn., who had been serving as vicechairman of the board. Both men have displayed outstanding qualities of leadership in conducting the affairs of the
corporation. I believe the election of Col. Turner to be your
next chairman is a wise selection and will PrOvide CAP with
a most dedicated and capable leader.

USAF, was the featured speaker at
the banquet. His presentation eon$isted of a detailed discussion with
color slides concerning U.S. Air
Force and civilian effort in our
ational Aerospace Program from
inception to plans encompassmg the next decade.
Colonel Ashworth was the featured speaker at the general assembly. His approach to the problems facing Civil Air Patrol during
the next ﬁve years was both direct
and emphatic. He complimented
all personnel on the successful
summer activities recently completed. And assured those present
that these activities would receive
more emphasis from year to year.
lie touched brieﬂy on the recent
National Board Meeting held at
Houston, Texas, during which time
the Board adopted a new Constitution and By Laws.
He mentioned the excellent ._
rapport now existing between
CAP and the Air Force but
pointed out it was CAP's responsibility to meet the objectives of
the Long Range Plan in order
to assure this continued support.
lie said, "This makes the Civil
Air Patrol's Long Range Plan a
romlssory note that Civil Air
atrol is going to have to pay."
The Colonel touched on the tremendous technological and population explosion we are presently experiencing. He pointed out that
roughly 1/3 of the national population is made up of youngsters under 21 years of age. This is a fertile area for recruitment of cadets
who will be adult leading citizens
of the future--Civil Air Patrol is
a positive answer to juvenile delinquency.

TINKER AFB, Okla. -- The combined Oklahoma-Arkansas encampment this year also gave an opportunity to Civil Air Patrol cadets
unable to attend their own Wing
encampment to join these two
Wings. Other states represented
at Tinker were Texas, New Mexico,
Mississippi, Montana, and Massachusetts.
Altogether there were 43 female
cadets and 144 male cadets spending two weeks at Tinker AFB.
While there they took part in the
basic training schedule familiar to
CAP cadets during summer encampments.
Highlight of the two weeks
came when Astronaut, Maj. Gor.

Base tours, lectures and special
visits to air base facilities rounded
out the encampment schedule.
CAP senior members conducted
classes in physical training, drill,
character guidance and military
customs and courtesies.
During the encampment an Ofricers Candidate Class was also at
the air base. This was of particular
interest to the CAP cadets because there were former members
of CAP in the OCS Flight.
Commander for the encampment

LEARNING HOW--These cadets from the Ohio Wing learn the right way to handle weapons
during their practice session on the riﬂe range at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Safety with
weapons is stressed by USAF instructors so that cadets learn the proper way to handle and ﬁre
the riﬂes. Three instructors move up and down the line keeping a sharp eye on cadets as they
prepare to ﬁre.

American Cadets Abroad
The 1962 lACE

ITALY--lACE cadets this year presented a wreath honoring the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
at the Victor Emanuel Monument in Rome, Italy. General Maceratini, Secretary General of the
Aero Club D'ltalia, accompanied the group of cadets.

NETHERLANDS--American cadets visiting Holland this year
found the "land of wooden shoes" fascinating. Cadets Ranaid Girouard, New Hampshire Wing, and John Bunning, Illinois Wing, made a ﬁrst hand inspection of one of this lowland country's famed windmills.

EL SALVADOR--Cadet E. M. Padgett, Alabama Wing, presented the Key to International Understanding to the President of El Salvador, Col. Julia Adalberta Rivera. Sr. Billy Fuenteso head
of the tourist bureau, acted as interpreter. In rear, from left, are Capt. Richard Smith, and
Cadets Clifford Wurster, David Keating, Robert Baker, Donald Hawn and Warren Steadman.

BRAZIL--A group of U.S. and Brazilian cadets and escorts
visited the Rodeoviaria Monument. The monument stands an
the highway between Rio and Sao Paulo, and was dedicated
upon completion of the highway in 1942. (Photo by Carlos of
Rio)

NORWAY--lACE cadets paid a visit .to SandeFyord, Norway, one of the largest whaling ports
in +the world, during this year's exchange. Cadet Robert Palm, New Hampshire Wing, and Lt.
John Ward, CAP escort from Alabama, posed before the Whaler's Memorial in the SandeFyord

Tom m y Downs, Tennessee
Wing, and Alfonso Cavalier,
Texas Wing, get the feel of
an Air Training Corps glider
while receiving instruction at
Swanton-Morley Royal Air
Force Base. All U.S. cadets
were given two days of glider
orientation. While abroad, the
group also made formal presentation of a banner to the Air
Training Corps, England's CAP
counterpart, on the occasion of
the ATC's 21st Anniversaryceleb(ation, given on behalf of
Civil Air Patrol.

ISRAEL--During the visit to Israel this year, the lACE cadets held a brief memorial service at
this monument erected in honor of those members of the Israeli Armed Forces from the city
of Ramat Gan who gave their lives in the War of Independence.

DENMARKmlACE Cadets James Page, Washington Wing, and
Robert Rissberger, New York Wing, posed for this photo in
front of the King's Castle in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Royal
Guards who stand sentry duty at the castle can be seen in
the background.

SWEDENIIn the Honor Court
of the Air Staff Building, the
cadets were presented to Lt.
Gen. Lage G. H. Thunberg,
commander of the Swedish Air
Force. The names on the wall
behind the visitors are of those
Swedish Air Force personnel
killed in the line of duty. The
American cadets visited ancient castles, modern cities,
military installations and other points of interest. Except
for the difference in language,
this year's lACE group in Sweden was quick to note many
similarities between Swedish
and U.S. cities. Cadets received warm welcomes on every
stop of their itinerary. They
returned to the continental
U.S. by way of Rhein Main
AFB, Germany.

CANADA--Maj. Harold Sanford, CAP escort from Washington Wing, posed with his
group of 15 U. S. cadets by this
memorial to the Hudson's Bay
Company at lower Fort Garry
on the Red River in Manitoba,
Canada. (Canada National Def.
Photo). The Cadets visited other such interesting sites as a
Royal military academy, Royal
Canadian Air Force installations, a camping trip, and many
historical areas of this North
American nation.

GUATEMALA~CAP cadets presented the Key to International Underttanding to President
Miguel Fuentes, chief executive of Guatemala. The key was provided through the courtesy of
Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company. From left are Lt. Col. Jack Enrich, USAF escort
ofﬁcer; Cadet Larry Twitchell; President Fuentes, Cadet Joe Gatlin and Sr. Roberto Berger,

PORTUGAL--The cadets visiting Portugal were on hand at Oporto Airport
for the opening of new runway facilities to handle jet aircraft trafﬁc. A
Portuguese-French group of government and aviation ofﬁcials made a special
ﬂight from France in a commercial jet liner to inaugurate the occasion.
From left are Lt. Col. Saul Wolff, New York Wing; Lt. Col. Charles Kelso,
USAF escort; West German Cadet Franz-Dieter Zuger; Cadet Bill Mitchell,
Alaska; Gary Sterns, California; Robert Phelps, Wisconsin; and Norwegian
Cadet Finn Jacobsen.

GREECE--Like all visitors toAthens, the U.S. cadets made a visit to the
famous Acropolis as part of their exchange visit to Greece. At right is Lt.
Col. Hugh H. Saum, USAF escort ofﬁcer. (Photo by Royal Hellenic Air
Force.) Many famous sites of Greek history and legend came alive for the
American youth, and cameras were in constant evidence during the guided
tours. Facilities and aircraft of the Royal Hellenic Air Force were also visited by the cadets and escorts.

SPAINIOne of Spain's most
renowned monasteries, Monasterio del Escorial, was one of
many historic sites visited by
t h e l A C E c a d e t s t h i s y e a r.
Their tour included beaches, a
bullﬁght, meeting with head of
the Air Ministry and a tour of
Madrid. (Photo by Spanish Ministerio Del Aire). The American cadets were especially impressed with the bullﬁght, for
it was the ﬁrst many of
them had witnessed. The Moorish inﬂuence on much of the
architecture in many of the
Spanish cities they visited, and
use of tile mosaics held great
interest for the group.

Fire Prevention
Week Planned
October 7-13

By CHIEF J. L. GREER
Ass't Base Fire Chief
E L L I N G TO N A F B , Te x a s - - E a c h
year the President of the United
States proclaims the week containing the anniversary date (October
9) of the 1871 Chicago ﬁre as "Fire
Prevention Week."
Again this year President Kell~edy has proclaimed the week of
October 7-13 as National Fire Prevention Week making this the
oldest presidential-proclaimed week
i n A m e r i c a n H i s t o r y.
In response to his request for
nation-wide promotion activities
(including participation by all Federal Agencies), the people turn
their attention to ﬁre prevention
and ﬁre control. The nation is
alerted through speeches, parades,
ﬁre equipment displays, newspaper
stories, and television and radio
commentaries.
For one brief week ﬁre prevention gets the attention it deserves
and then, in far too many instances, ts forgotten. But ﬁre safety
should not be "shelved" until next
October but be a year-round job
that must receive year-round attention.

losses are at a record high, the
estimated loss for 1961 was 11,700
Jives and $1,615,000,000 in property--this was an increase over
1960. The loss for the ﬁrst 6
months of 1962 over 1961 is up
7.1% with an estimated total of
$680,000,000. With the winter
months ahead which are the heaviest ﬁre lees months, unless all
precautions with heating and electrical equipment are taken this
year's ﬁre toss record will climb.
The nation's ﬁre chiefs and ﬁre
prevention agencies dan do little
unless they have the support of
each and every citizen.
The President directs all Fedoral agencies to assist in this effort
to help reduce this shameful waste.
All CAP members can help in this
by working with their local ﬁre
department to help make this week

like to take the opportunity to congratulate and thank you for the

tribute to all CAP personnel,
seniors and cadets alike.
I am cadet commander of the Elm i r a C a d e t S q u a d r o n , N e w Yo r k

is not only interesting, but also informative and helpful
It is nice to be able to see how
the other wings and aquadrons are
doing, and what they are doing. I
-often ﬁnd CAP TIMES a great incentive in starting and carrying
out new projects.
I congratulate you on your work
to make the CAP TIMES the

hope that you may long carry on
your invaluable service to Civil

(Ed Note -- This appears to
he an excellent opportunity for
some CAP unit to set up an interesting exchange of information. Perhaps some unit with
cadets who have visited England
under the IACE might take advantage of this offer.)

dot Exchange Alumni of 1962
(GIACEA 1962). This organization
was formed by all of the air cadets taking part in the IACE to
Germany in 1962, for the purpose
of maintaining contact with each
other and with our hosts throughout the many years to come.
The organization is arranged so
that each of the countries sending
air cadets to Germany has one
ofﬁcer among its air cadets sent.
Of the two Canadian air cadets going on the exchange, one was C.
Inn Fullerton of St. Catherines, Ontario, who was elected president
of the organization. Civil Air Patrol was represented by Cadet Norbert A. Wethington of Dayton,
Ohio, who was elected corresponding secretary.
These two ofﬁcers will take care
of almost all of the busine~ themselves. The other three ofﬁcers are
titular; that is, by title only. Representing the Cadets de L'Air de

p r e s i d e n t . Tu r k e y w a s r e p r e s e n t ed by Atilla Part of Ankara,
elected chairman; Portugal by

treasurer.
The titular ofﬁcer's main ~responsibility is keeping in contact
with his friends from his own
country who went with him to

The above information is being

GONE to the Dogs--it might
look like CAP has done just
that, but that's not thecase.
Col. Bambi, the Minnesota CAP
Wing mascot, is actually just
doing her part to publicize the
CAP program. The Chihuahua
is "special assistant" to CAP
2d Lt. Peg Klenk of the Minnesota Wing and is trained to
walk upright as pictured. Col.
Bambi is a feature attraction
at all Minnesota Wing affairs.
The pint-sized CAP dog is the
off-spring "of a Chihuahua
owned by a USAF ofﬁcer stationed in Hawaii--which makes
Col. Bambi a real Air Force
animal.
