Looking to the Future
~urE CAN POINT with pride to the past . . . and point
vv with purpose to the future." My first message to
CAP in this column when I became your National Commander just a year ago, ended on this note.
To d a y, a t t h e e n d o f C i v i l A i r P a t r o l ' s 2 1 s t y e a r, I b e lieve this statement to be more true than ever before. Not
only can we take pride in the accomplishments of this past
year but what we have accomplished this year provides us
with a solid foundation from which we can look forward
to the future with renewed confidence and purpose.
I believe that we can say that 1962 has been the most
successful year in the history of Civil Air Patrol. Our
Congressional Banquet in Washington last May was a firstclass show that we can all be proud of, and
it made a very favorable impression on a
lot of important people. Almost 10,000 cadets
participated in special activities and encampments last summer. The IACE program with
20 foreign countries was one of the best we
have ever conducted. And for the first time,
nominations of truly outstanding cadets for
Civil Air Patrol scholarships so far exceeded
the scholarships available that the selection

/-IEROIC ACTION

RECRUITING POSSIBILITIES . . . Units seeking cadets should
not overlook local Boy Scout units as potential sources for recruits.
Films, skits, talks on the background and purpose of the Civil Air
Patrol mission would be ideal for presentation before this type of
audience.
HOSTING PARENTS . . . Many units are finding cadet par.
ticipation and programs easier when parents are familiar with
the CAP program. "Parent's Night" or open-house types of programs would be ideal times to schedule a presentation directed
at parent orientation.
PUBLIC ATTENTION . . . Ideal locations in which to keep the
Civil Air Patrol before the public are public and local school libraries.
In many cases, through personal contact, librarians will often provide bulletin boards or special tables where CAP promotional materials may be displayed. Especially in rural communities, libraries
are often a frequent meeting place for residents.
TRAINING . . . A great number of Civil Air Patrol units
have reported success in obtaining instructors from such sources
as fire and police departments and local Civil Defense agencies.
With missions that are etosely allied to CAP's these agencies
have a high number of technical experts in rescue work at their
disposal.
BILLBOARDS . . . With the winter season in full swing many
drive in theaters have closed their "gates" until Spring. Theater
marquees, many units have found, are ideal sites to plug CAP and
unit special projects. Arrangements are usually made for use of this
space through the drive in theater managers.

*

SUMMER PROGRAM . , . Starting this month the background
paper work and applications for cadet special activities for 1963 should
be started in order to comply with e~isting deadlines. Commanders
are urged to insure that action is now being taken to get these programs underway.
*

*

NEWSPAPERS... All Civil Air Patrol units publishing newspapers or bulletins are reminded that one copy of each issue
should be forwarded to the Office of Information, National Headquarters.
RESERVE SUPPORT . . . As a result of stories in CAP TIMES
and the Air Reservist magazine many queries have been received at
National Headquarters for Air Force Reservists wishing to participate in the CAP program under which they may earn retention and retirement credits. Highly qualified, and mostly World War II and Korean
veterans, Reservists provide an excellent pool of varied ski]is. Unit
commanders are urged to take advantage of use of these people in
their local programs.

birthday Judy received an applic a t i o n f o r m e m b e r s h i p i n C A P.
(Ed Note: Because she was an outstanding student, an exception was
made in her case).
By the time Judy's 13th birthday arrived, she had completed
the necessary training for the
Certificate of Proficiency except for one requisite condition.
Because of her age she was not
permitted to go to summer encampment to comply with the
final requirement for the COP.
Cadet Ehrlich was a member of
the girls' exhibition drill team
which performed at functions
throughout the territory, including
the inauguration parade for Governor Stepovitch, the last app o i n t e d g o v e r n o r o f A l a s k a Te r r i tory.
The Air Force sponsored C-47
flights for cadets working on the
observer rating. On these flights
the cadets received a certain
amount of time at the controls. On
one such flight a hitch-hiking colonel was startled to find a sack
lunch dribbling down his winter
blues. The dribbling had not been
caused by the plane hitting an air
pocket---Judy was just testing the
plane's reaction to the elevator
controls.

BILOXI, Miss. -- How often
have you met someone you
have known before, but can
not place them until you have

friends in the middle of a crowded
room and knew them instantly
even though he had not seen them
for nine years.
The last time Chaplain Smith
had seen Col. Mathew Thompson
and his wife, Lucille, was in
Chatereaux, France, where he
married the couple in 1953.
At that time Chatereaux Air
Base was a tent city sitting in a
sea of mud, but the inhabitants
had worked hard to construct a
base chapel they could be proud
of. They began with a quonset hut
and through various means decorated the building--including selfmade stained glass windows--and
planted a lawn--the only lawri on
the base at the time.
It was in the midst of this tent
city that Colonel and Mrs. Thompson were married and according to
Chaplain Smith it was both the
first wedding in the chapel and
the first big social event on base.
Since then, Chaplain Smith and
the Thompsons have gone their
separate ways in the Air Force.
They kept in contact occasionally
but it had been "four or five years"
said Chaplain Smith since they
had even exchanged Christmas
cards.
Colonel Thompson was recently retired from the USAF and
has made application for membership in CAP in the Florida Wing
where he and his wife now live.
He became interested in CAP
while stationed at Offutt AFB,
Neb., where he encountered local
CAP units.
Mrs. Thompson was secretary to
Sen. George H. Smathers of Florida before marriage. Colonel
Thompson's family is English and
he was born in England and has
since become a naturalized American citizen.

Resusci-Annie was designed and

use in teaching mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and external heart massage.
Annie was used recently by
members of the North Platte, Nebraska, Composite Sq., to teach
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at a

Twelve-Man Beloit Rescue Unit
Well Equipped for Emergencies
BELOIT, Wisc. -- Civil Air
Patrol units across the nation
often develop unusual components, such as jeep sections,
swamp buggys, horseback patrols and crash boat to service e:

IN ALL SEASONS--The Beloit rescue unit is fully equipped to
operate in all seasons and cope with just about any emergency
situation. Typical of the unit's excellent equipment is, (Top) a

more unique, nor better equipped,
than the Beloit Rescue Unit of the
Beloit Composite Squadron, Wis-~
consin Wing.
The twelve-man unit, came into
being in 1955t.~ as a spur-of-the too-I
merit project when the squadron!
was asked by the Beloit Fire De-i
partment to man a first aid tent
during a fire demonstration. The
team was organized by Lt. Dick
McCaul, the present chief, Lt. John
Owens, and another member no
longer serving. The city donated
a station wagon with the minimum
amount of equipment needed for
rescue operations, and arranged
for the vehicle to be housed at the
main fire station..
With that small beginning,
more and more interest was
shown, membership grew and
civic organizations donated in.
valuable equipment needed. To.
day, the Beloit unit is one of the
finest equipped anywhere.
The donated station wagon has
since been outgrown and has been
replaced with a vanette-type truck.
This truck carries such equipment
as a wheeled stretcher; a staber
stretcher; six portable stretchers;
a portable resuscitator; two first
aid kits (one for burns, one for
accidents); two Scott air paks; two

Chemox kits (air breathing apparatus); acetlyne cutting equipment; a portable generator with
flood lights; aluminum fire suits;
two porta-powers; chain saw; crash
entry kit; asbestos suit; a wide
range of hand tools; ropes, grappling hooks; hike poles; fire axes;
a public address system; and firepolice radio Scooter 45 (CAP) frequency.
Members of the Beloit unit are
holders of the advanced first aid
card. Five are qualified instructors,
and all have received training in
basic firefighting techniques, rescue work and traffic control. One
member is a Civil Defense-trained
radiological expert, and Lt. McCaul

is one of two CD light rescue Instructors in Rock Cvunty.
Even the rescue unit's membership is unique. These include a
mortician, coroner, deputy sheriff,
w e l d e r, t r u c k d r i v e r, fi r e m a n ,
mechanic, laborer and salesman as
civilian occupations. The squadron
furnished special uniforms for
each member of the rescue team.
During a recent effectiveness
test, USAF Col. Jay W. Stansbury
gave special praise to the rescue
unit. "This is one of the very finest
units that I have ever seen in the
country," Col. Stansbury remarked,
"The Beloit Squadron is to be
commended for having such a unit
as this at its disposal."

Again, a nice job. This is the
kind of publicity which will, we
think, put over a Soaring Program
