Airlift Funds
Cause Halt
To Activity
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS -Department of Defense has announced a
temporary postponement of the 1966
International Air Cadet Exchange (IACE).!
According to word received here,
overseas airlift funding for this year has
caused the oldest and most sought after
of all cadet summer activities to be
postponed. The Department of Defense
message pertained to the 1966 program
only; no indication was given for 1967.!
The IACE is expected to be held this year
with Canada, since airlift is provided by
that country.!
Headquarters officials attended the
annual Air Cadet League of Canada
meeting in late February.!
The possibility of the "Canada only" IACE
was discussed at this meeting. At press
time the results of the discussion were
not known.!
The IACE celebrated its 18th birthday
last summer with what many exchange
"veterans" termed as one of the most
successful. It was delayed somewhat for
Civil Air Patrol cadets bound for Europe
and the European returning to the States
due to unexpected changes.!
,,$.~in airlift sehe~l~ing.!
~**-~.~elm~e, a program to foster
international goodwill and understanding,
was born out of an idea proposed by
Canada in 1947.!
An invitation was extended to Maj.!
Gen. Lucas V. Beau, USAF, then national
commander, inviting CAP to join the
exchange program.!
IN his report to Congress in 1948,
General Beau outlined plans for CAP's
participation in the IACE and obtained
approval. The first exchange between the
two countries took place that summer
when Civil Air Patrol and the Air Cadet
League of Canada exchanged cadets.!
The CAP-ACL initial exchange was so
well received that immediate plans were
made for expansion.!
Unlike the more recent exchanges the
first IACE included a tour of the host
nation, not a visit to a specific wing. A
total of 52 persons participated -- two
senior escorts and 24 cadets from each
country.!
In 1949 the IACE was expanded to five
countries with the addition (See DoD,

--Senior members "hit the books"
in record numbers last year as
they embarked on the expanded
senior member training program.
Statistics compiled by Aerospace
Education Office revealed that
nearly 14,000 of the senior members participated in the revised
study and testing program.
The total number of seniors
participating during 1964 was 6,020
and the goal for 1966 is all of the
corporation's 33,000 senior members.

distributed to all commanders concerned. One year ago, in
reviewing the report for 1964, I said I was
Pnleased with the overall progress shown durg 1964. I noted that while we had failed
to meet our national cadet membership goal
we had attained an 8% increase over the
1963 membership. It was also noted that in
spite of losses in senior membership among
twenty-six wings, the increase in seniors in
other wings had halted the overall decline.
Most significant achievement indicated
in the 1965 evaluation is Southeast Region

most outstanding achievement among the wings was the
"progress shown in New Hampshire. This wing, with a commendable performance, came up from 33 in 1964 to ninth
position in 1965.
These evidences of region and wing progress in 1965 indicate what can be done when enthusiastic dedicated personeel get with the program.

marsh area near Elkhart Lake.
The search was touched off
when a pilot flying over the area
saw what appeared to be a yellow
I"-3 Piper Cub on the ground in the
marsh. He notified the Federal
Aviation Agency in Milwaukee
that the pilot might be in trouble
and reported seeing tracks in the
area.

airport.
ALSO ASSISTING were county
sheriff's officers, headed by the

Elkhart Lake volunteer fire department.
Before the search was temporarily discontinued late the first
night, volunteers had covered an
area of about 16 square miles,
some of it extremely hazardous
terrain. Members of one party
crawled over rocking patches of
ice to reach remote sections of the
swampy area.
Searchers in the swamp kept
their bearings with the aid of
portable lights mounted on an Elkhart La!-e fire truck parked on a
hill. In addition, walkie-talkies
were used to maintain contact
with searchers.
Sheriff's officers- contacted
local residents to determine if
anyone had seen what appeared
to be a plane in trouble, but
found no leads. Airports were
contacted to find out l[ a plane
was missing.
After a thorough ae/rial search
the next morning, and with no additional leads, the search was

the Oregon Wing has established a very impressive record of blood
flights. The mercy missions involved transporting blood to support
open heart surgery eases at various Oregon hospitals.
The wing record during the eight years included 107 mercy
flights, totalling more than 313 flying hours, using 2.206 gallons
of fuel and 46 quarts of oil. On these flights, all of which were
arranged by CAP" Lt. Col. Don Stewart, a total of 3,222 units of
b l o o d w a s t r a n s p o r t e d f o r u s e d u r i n g o p e n h e a r t o p e r a t i o n s . To t a l
cost for all of the flights was $677.34.
Busiest year for the wing was 1963 when 21 mercy blood
flights were made, carrying 672 units of blood. An average year
during the period saw nearly 18 flights delivering 358 units of
blood.
A story In the November 1965 issue of CAP TIMES told about
Oregon Wing's 104th mercy blood flight. At that time it was reported that the wing had airlifted blood for 1,065 open heart
surgery cases in Portland hospitals since May 1958.
It was also reported in the November story that the Red
Cross, with which CAP coordinates all mercy flights, had furnished total of 18,609 pints el blood to hospitals in Portland for
open heart surgery.

CAP CWO Howard Collett, mission training officer of the unit,
said the course was outlined by
CAP Majors Larry D. Miller, squadron commander, and Helen Hilburn, commandant of cadets.
Subjects being taught in the
course include navigation, signaling, communications, first aid, safety, interrogation, camping, hiking,
survival, state regulations and
search procedures.
Instructors include CAP officers,
fire department officials, state
highway patrolmen, USAF paramedics and Red Cross instructors.
Objective of the course is to
ereate and maintain a task force

The 20 cadets and senior members participating in the course
will receive certificates of eomxoletion and rescue team qualification cards when they complete
the course.

that the Air Force cover flight
control surfaces on C-47 and C-54
aircraft with fiberglass instead of
cotton fabric, which required re-i
placement every 18 months.
He contended that fiberglass
and buterated dope would provide
a permanent covering and would
eliminate replacement costs. For
several years, this idea along with
seven others, was extensively tested at Olmsted AFB, Pa.

and what areas were searched during each mission in order to coordinate the entire operation.
Mrs. Johnson and her crew found an old aircraft wreckage in their sector.

Interest Grows in Items
Anniversary Handouts
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS~
Interest in the promotional items
for the 25th anniversary of Civil
Air Patrol continues to increase
according to the Office of Information, National Headquarters.
The promotional items, a silver
pen and commercial-type baggage
tag, have been specially tailored to
promote public awareness of the
Silver Anniversary celebration
among prominent civic and community leaders. The items have
also been approved by National
Headquarters.
The Office of Information reported many squadron and group
commanders, as well as region and
wing commanders, have been ordering a personal supply of the
pens and the baggage tags. It was
also pointed out by a member of
the Information Office staff that
some individual squadron members
are also ordering the handouts.

Form.er CAP Scholarship Winner
Serving in East Cameroun, Africa

One squadron information officer
reported he was ordering a supply
to augment his information program. He said he plans to use the
pens as handouts to reporters and
radio-TV announcers to help bare
his squadron stories released to
the public.
The IO went on to say, "CAP ha~,
needed a standard promotional
item for many years. Aircraft companies, bottling companies and other national firms have promotional
items. Now Civil Air Patrol has
started to provide us with something along these lines."
Through the efforts of the Office
of Information a special rate has
been obtained for the purchase of
the promotional items. The pens,
fair retail price is $1.25, can be
purchased for only 27 cents each.
The baggage tags are 10 cents
each, however, both of these prices
have been realized through a large

quantity order. The national Information Office must have an overall order of 10,000 pens and 25,000
tags in order to hold the aforementioned price. For this reason,
all units and individuals should
order directly from the national
Information Office.
Any unit desiring to purchase
any of the items should submit or.
ders to National Headquarters, Attention CPN. All orders must be
accompanied by a money order payable to: Office of Information. No
checks will be accepted.
A handy order blank appears on
this page. An additional 50 cents
for handling and mailing must be
included.
Deadline for ordering is March
15. Units and individuals should
mail orders to arrive no later than
this date.
