alike, in all 52 wings, I extend best personal wishes on
this 22d anniversary of its founding. When the small
group of air-minded civilians organized to offer their
services to the Ofﬁce of Civil Defense on 1 December
1941, Civil Air Patrol was little more than a vision. That
vision has been more than amply realized. Through unceasing and imaginative effort, CAP members have built
what began as a patrol service to the military into a
vital, all-round force in the aerospace era. I think of
CAP's basic mission of search and rescue . . . its vast
potential to meet any kind of emergency ... its foreign
cadet exchange program . . . its manifold activities in
aerospace education . . . and its valued service to the

NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS -- Growth is the key'
word that best describes the Civil Air Patrol during its 22
years of active service to the nation. Growth in membership, growth in the number of
chartered units, and growth in the
scope of its varied programs and
responsibilities. All of these are
indications of the continuous expansion of CAP into a greater
public service organization.
On December 1, when units
across the nation began their observances of CAP's 22d annivers a r y, t h e m e m b e r s h i p o f t h e o r ganization had already reached 31,876 seniors and 47,919 cadets.
CAP units are already engaged
in a variety of anniversary observances in conjunction with local
c i t y, c o u n t y a n d s t a t e o f ﬁ c i a l s .
State Governors have issued proci lamations setting aside a week or
a day for special recognition of
CAP. The mayors of cities, towns
and villages have also proclaimed

Celebrations

DURING the month of December,
many units have planned varied
activities which will highlight both
the CAP anniversary and the Air
Force Silver Wings celebration.
One squadron indicated a ﬂyover was planned to open the
week-long observance. Several
other squadrons and groups have
planned dinner-dances using the
Silver Wings theme.
As in past years, the National

N AT I O N A L H E A D Q U A R T E R S
During Civil Air Patrol's 22
years of service to the nation, CAP
and the Air Force have joined in
numerous aerospace achievements.
On Dec. 1, 1941, Civil Air Patrol
was established and organized with

Corps, named national commander.
On June 26, 1946, the Army
Air Corps issued a letter entitled
"Local AAF Cooperation in Civil
Air Patrol program," in which it
stated that the Civil Air Patrol, an
auxiliary of the Army Air Forces
was an ofﬁcial Army Air Forces
agency functioning under the provisions of Army Air Forces regulation.
D u r i n g M a y, 1 9 4 8 , P u b l i c L a w
557 wt~s passed by the 80th Congress establishing CAP as a volunteer civilian auxiliary of the Air
Force, and in January, 1949, was
made a permanent civilian auxiliary of the Air Force.
On Dec. 3, 1958, Headquarters
CAP was transferred from Headquarters Command to Continental
Air Command. The following July
the headquarters was moved from

The veteran ﬂyer logged his ﬁrst
hours in a JN4B "Jenny" in the
early 1900s and progressed to the
T-33 jet trainer in which he logged
ﬁve hours.
Colonel Hutchinson joined CAP
in 1949 and since that time has
attended 10 summer encampments. A year ago he donated the
G. N. Hutchinson Trophy which is
presented annually to the outstanding cadet at the Florida encampment.

The energetic colonel moved to
Miami Beach when the population
was 400 and aircraft were ﬂown
from the beaches. Now admitting
to more than 70 years of age, he
has logged more than 6000 ﬂying
hours.

Keeping an eye ﬁxed on the
future of Civil Air Patrol has been
one of the prime motivations of
the organization members. During
its 1961 meeting, the Long Range
Planning Committee established a
series goal for the Civil Air Patrol to reach by 1966. Chief of
these is a membership that will
include 100,000 cadets and 60,000

Continued expansion of Aerospace Education programs is another of the goals outlined by the

inestimable value to the general' populace of the United States. Few
business corporations in the United States have attempted to organize a large body of people and machines as has the Civil Air PaLvol.
When one thinks of CAP In terms of this magnitude, he can 'get

Since CAP is a federally chartered corporation, a thorough knowledge of the Federal Chartering Statute is required in order to comply with: its mandate, spirit and intent with respect to the organization, administration and operation of the corporation. Many problems and situations arise in this area that are not speciﬁcally answered
by the statute. In such cases~ there is a requirement for intensive

Indoctrination Phase has been prepared so that formal classes are
unnecessary. The new member, working with existing publications
and revised regulations, accomplishes all of the training by utilizing

Dear Sir,
There has been some mistake
about the letter I sent inquiring
about the Air Signal Corps. I was
referring to the place where
women shoot down enemy planes,
not to ﬂy planes. I never ﬂew a
plane in my life.
I guess you understand what I
meant now. I remain.

Today the CAP communications
system :consists of over 14,000 radio
stations licensed by the Federal
Communications Commission. Of
these, there are approximately nine
thousand stations in active service.
The types range in combinations of
land, mobile, and aircraft stations
with increasing emphasis being
placed on mobile and aircraft units
since these types are of such great
value during emergencies.
Higher powered ﬁxed stations
provide air-to-ground communica-~
