Three Wings Provide Assistance
During Major Natural Disasters
N AT I O N A L H E A D Q U A R T E R S
-- March may have come in like a
lamb for most areas of the nation,
but not for parts of the North Central and Southeast regions where
CAP found itself assisting during
the aftermath of two natural disasters which occurred--due to the
weather -- at about the same time.
In the North Central Region,

North a~d South Dakota wings
pitched in to help during and after
a severe blizzard, while Mississippi
Wing of the Southeast Region assisted with rescue and cleanup operations in the wake of a devastating tornado.

and South Dakota was hit by one
of the worst blizzards in recent
years, the North Dakota Wing was
called in to help with search operations.
Many of the primary and secondary roads, which had been inun:dated with heavy snowfall whipped
i by high winds, were surveyed to
locate stranded motorists, according to Maj. Donald P. Davis, USAF,
USAF-CAP liaison officer.
This action was followed by a
search for distress signals in the
rural areas of the state.
Many airport facilities were
snowbound but a minimum number
of ski-equipped planes were available. Thirty-two sorties were flown
by 31 aircraft for an estimated 55
hours of flying time.
Duties assigned filled excellently
within ability of wing members.
CAP personnel participating in the
huge mission included 15 mission
coordinators, 45 airerews, five on
flightline support and 21 cadets.
Communications equipment ineluded 14 fixed and 16 mobile
radio units.

Aerospace Workshops Are Announced
(Continued from Page 1)
can be useful in the classroom.
The workshops give teachers a
chance to catch up with technical
advances made in the aerospace
age. They also demonstrate for
educators how aviation affects subjects taught in all grade levels
of our education system.
By attending aerospace education workshops, teachers can get a
better understanding of the
economic, scientific and vocational
implications of aviation and learn
how these implications affect students.
The program enables teachers to
provide better instruction, counseling and guidance to students in

terms of what the technical advances in aviation ~ymbolize and
the impact of this technology
upon all aspects of society.
Benefits derived by the teachers include:
Credits for revalidating teaching certificates.
Eligibility for salary increases.
Improving opportunities for
additional remunerative jobs in
connection with their regular positions.
Making their tasks as educators more rewarding and interesting to themselves and the students.
Following is a listing of the
workshops as of March 2:
