CAP in the Community
CAP is many things. It is ﬁrst and foremost a ﬂying

DIRECTOR OF SAFETY ~ Night driving hints -- Darkness

bright tomorrow, dim your lights tonight. If you're sleepy at the
wheel, you're likely to hit more than the hay. Look out when it's

mine."

ALPA SPONSORS CAP -- Members of Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) Council 33 in Denver, Colo., who have given more than
just "lip service" to the Aurora Composite Squadron for many years,
began sponsoring the Colorado Wing last year. United Air Lines has
provided space for the squadron to meet for several years. Last year
council members contributed $466 in cash and two hours of ﬂight
time. The money was used to buy uniforms, books and equipment for
cadets..A private pilot scholarship is now being planned by council
members and cadet orientation and familiarization ﬂights are being
provided in a small airplane partially purchased by the council in
conjunction with other CAP supporters in the Aurora area.

center sensing the deep community
support of the cadets' project
turned over 30,000 square feet of
display area with the necessary
manpower and equipment to bring
the exhibit into being.
A major portion of the exhibit
consisted of NASA displays including a full scale Mercury capsule
that was fully automated, with a
profusion of explanatory panels
covering all phases of the Mercury
Project.
Of particular interest was a full
slze mock-up complete with spaceman of both the fore and aft sections of the Mercury capsule. One
spectator remarked after seeing
the display "the astronaut doesn't
ride the capsule, he wears it."
To emphasize the aerospace
technology within our midst the
US Energy Co., Talon Division,
loaned us spaceman "George."
George is a true to life mannequin complete with a single en.
vironmental space suit.
This suit was developed in part
by the US Energy Co., for NASA.
George was so startling in his silver space suit he was placed next
to the CAP information booth.
Other sections of the aerospace
displays covered sub-orbital ﬂights, i
orbital ﬂights, human factors, environmental sequences, programruing of orbital ﬂights and others.
Falling from the "aerospace age"
into the "airspace age" the cadets
explained the functions and operations of the turbo-jet engine by
manning the exhibit donated to
the squadron by the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics.

Elmendorf Cadet *
Races Sled Dogs

ANCHORAGE, Alaska--Space, rockets and missiles
are common interests among most Civil Air Patrol cadets
but not necessarily Cadet Patrick Parker of the Elmendorf
Cadet Squadron, Alaska Wing.
Although his cadet membership reﬂects an interest
in aviation his main hobby is sled dog racing.
For the past two years Cadet Parker has been the

for six years.
The dog sled race is the highlight of the annual Fur
Rendezvous, one of Alaska's biggest winter festivals. The
dogs are harnessed and hitched to a wooden sled, Eskimostyle, with the driver either riding on the back runners
or himself running to give the team an extra burst of
speed.

WHEN the Department of Defense closed the Air Force Reserve
facility at Memphis, Tenn., the Tennessee Wing was without a
place to hold its annual special activities banquet. However, the
U.S. Navy at Millington Naval Air Station, commanded by
Capt. J. A. Holmes, USN, second left, came to the rescue by
offering the use of the ofﬁcers club. With Captain Holmes are

everyone to see what cadets Theresa Fradette, left, and Peggy

Arkansas Unit Commander
Honored for Military Duty
LITTLE ROCK AFB, Ark.--An
Air Force sergeant here who also
~erves as a Civil Air Patrol captain and squadron commander of
the Jacksonville Composite Squadron, Arkansas Wing, has been selected as Airman of the Year here.
TSgt. William G. Tack, USAF,
of the 308th Strategic Missile
Wing, was named to the award
in competition with other outstanding noncommissioned ofﬁcers
from the base.
Sergeant Tack is a 15-year veteran of the Air Force and a twoyear veteran of the Jacksonville
squadron. He attended Heidelburg, College, Tifﬁn, Ohio, and
Arkansas Polytechnic College, Russellville, Ark.
The sergeant expects to receive
his B.A. degree in the near future.
Sergeant Tack is assigned to the
Missile Support Branch in management procedures which entails
the controling of inspection, servicing and repairing of safety
breathing apparatus. In addition,
the sergeant's job includes working with propellent handling
equipment such as self-contained
breathing air and air conditioning
units within sealed crew suits
which protect propellent specialtsts from the toxic vapors, acids
and hazardous propellents encountered in Titan II missile loading
and unloading and nitrogen servicing of propellent tanks.
One of the most critical tasks

performed under his supervision
is the mixing of cryogenics which
are stored and serviced at temperatures approximately 300 degrees
below zero.
This mixture of liquid nitrogen
and liquid oxygen is proportioned
to provide a balanced breathing
mixture when it is converted to
gas by a back-pack insidethe selfcontained suits.

According to Colonel Sullivan,
308th Strategic Missile Wing commander, "It is without question

outstanding airman. His performance and participation and individual effort, duty, loyalty to the
unit, acceptance of responsibility
to the customs of the service and
community life exceed all expectations."

Fatherly Advice Fails

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- What

has developed into a delightful
and refreshing hobby for CAP Lt.
Patsy L. Erwin, Andrews Composite Squadron, National Capital

It all began 10 years ago when
Lieutenant Erwin ﬁrst decided to
learn to ﬂy. At the casual mention of ﬂying to her dad, she
learned that he would prefer to
"keep one foot on the ground."
So great was her desire and determination to ]earn to ﬂy that
she secretly took ﬂying lessons,
despite her f&ther's expressed attitude against ﬂying.

Sooner or later, all "secrets"
come out into the open and Lieutenant Erwin's was no exception.
One day while practicing stalls
over her home, her dad spotted
her plane. "Look at that fool trying to break his neck," was his
reaction before he learned that
"that fool" was his daughter.
When the initial shock of seeing his daughter "off the ground"
was over, Erwin took his ﬁrst airplane ride with his daughter. Still
not convinced of her father's approval, and afraid that he might
