AN AIRLIFT of blood was one of two missions recently performed by members of the Oregon

to deliver two cartons of blood to Portland (Ore.) Red Cross officials. The blood, collected
from donors in Madras and Redmond, Ore., was flown to Portland for use in open heart surgery
operations. Madras and Redmond are located about 130 miles southeast of Portland. Colonel
Montgomery flew the round trip from squadron headquarters in Portland over rugged mountainous terrain, which includes five to seven thousand foot peaks in the Cascade Range.

City Dedicates Unit Building
PA D U C A H , K y. - - A l a r g e c r o w d
of area residents was present at
the official dedication of the new
headquarters building of the
Paducah Composite Squadron, located on Barkley Field, Paducah,
Kentucky. The formal dedication,
held August 21, followed three
years of planning and work by approximately 55 members of the
Paducah squadron under the lead.
ership of Lt. Col. Harry H. Hester,
Jr.
The 40 by 80 building consisting
of 3,200 square feet was modeled
after the local Naval Reserve fac i l i t y, a n d c o n t a i n s t h r e e c l a s s rooms, lounge, offices, radio, stor-

age, and kitchen, facilities. It is
located on a 300 square foot lot
on the northwest corner of the
airport, leased to the unit by the
Paducah Airport Corporation. The
1estimated value of the structure
is $80,000.00.
The cement, block building was
constructed without cost to Civil
Air Patrol, and stands as an outstanding example of community
support and interest in the CAP
program. A typical example of
resourcefulness-and energetic determination was illustrated by
Cadet Robert DeMyer who solicited
and obtained a building from the
Margaret Hank Cumberland Pres-

byterian Church. The structure,
originally scheduled for salvage,
was torn down by unit members.
Materials were reclaimed or sold
over $2,000 was realized in this
one project alone.
The majority of materials used
in the construction of the headquarters were donated by area
building suppliers. In addition to
numerous cash donations .by
others, the squadron received the
benefit of thousands of manhours
of labor and equipment contributed
by local contractors and labor
unions. However, most of the 18,000 manhours that went into the
construction were contributed by
squadron members, primarily the
cadets.
In addition to the physical labor
the cadets conducted numerous
c a n d y, b a k e a n d r u m m a g e s a l e s
to raise cash.
The mothers of the cadets assisted in the interior decorating
by making drapes and securing donations of other furnishings. New
chairs and work tables were obtained through contributions of
trading stamps donated by local
housewives.
During the dedication ceremony,
Colonel George B. Carter, Jr., Kentucky Wing commander, presented
Major Hester with his silver leaves
and promotion to Lt. Colonel, and
stated that "Colonel Hester had
personally spent over 2,000 hours
in the project and his dedication
to the Civil Air Patrol program
was outstanding and an example
to be followed by all other unit
commanders throughout the nation."

Community Effort
CADETS put the final touch on the speaker's stand backdrop
in one of the most impressive displays of community cooperation
in the Kentucky Wing. The occasion was the dedication of the
new headquarters building for the Puducah Composite Squadron.
Among the many dignitaries were Col. Dale D. Brannon, USAF,
Great Lakes Region liaison officer and Col. G. B. Carter Jr.,
wing commander.

Several years ago Greenville Air Force Base was closed as an
economy measure. It has since become the municipal airport for
Greenville. Now the Civil Air Patrol was planning to inactivate
the Greenville unit because of a low degree of activity.
Harris decided to do something about that situation. He drew
up a proposal together with an equipment list and a unit manning
document that would solve the problem. A sense of urgency dictated that Harris send his idea to someone in a position of influence.

Harris requested that the secretary take action to re-open
Greenville AFB. Once re-opened, the proposal included the establishment of, as Harris termed it, a CAPATC base. For the uninitia t e d t h a t s t a n d s f o r C i v i l A i r P a t r o l A i r Tr a i n i n g C o m m a n d b a s e .

proposed unit manning document called for "a commander and
one assistant."
The opening paragraph of Secretary Brown's response said, "I
appreciate receiving your letter expressing interest in the Civil
Air Patrol and your hope for a career in the United States Air
Force."
The Secretary then went on to explain that Air Force had no
requirement for Greenville AFB facilities and that it was now the
property of the City of Greenville. He also offered encouragement
to Harris in retaining the CAP unit there.
Secretary Brown's closing paragraph summed it all up. "I
extend my sincere good wishes to you for a rich and rewarding
career in whatever line of endeavor you may pursue. Your aggressiveness and interest certainly fit with the tradition of the Air
Force."

I headed for this area. The 10 miles
required 20 minutes, and I arrived
over Carson City at 14,300 feet,
having dived off some 8;000 feet to
get there.
"On arrival over Carson City I
indicated 800 fpm rate of climb.
However, this soon reduced to300

necessary diving penetration required to move windward from the

at 18,900 feet with an indicated!
600 fpm lift. Another five minutes
and I was at 20,500 feet, an average
rate of climb of 320 fpm for the
five minutes."

The FAA had issued a clearance
.for Colonel Stanley to be above
24,000 (MSL) in Glider Area Minden West from 1:30 to 3:30 hours.
As he was unable to gain further
altitude and the clearance was expiring in 10 minutes, he began his
descent. He landed at 3:50 after a
two-hour flight. During this time
he had a gain of 14,000; more than
enough to meet the requirements
of the altitude leg of the Gold "C"
badge which calls for a gain of
9,843 feet (3,000 meters) above the
release point or some low point
after release.
Colonel Stanley began, soaring
~. ~ing Ai~rl~ort, Fremont, Calif. He has

a commercial glider license and approximately 80 soaring flights Io
his credit. He belongs to the North
Bay Soaring Association, which has
1-26 and TC-2 sailplanes and a PAl2 tow plane.
His first interest in soaring dates
back to 1931 when he was with the :
Army Air Corps and stationed at.
Luke Field, Hawaii. A classmate of
his designed and built a sailplane.
Another classmate, Lt. John Crane,:
making his first flight in a sail-,

early afternoon and staying up all,
night. This soaring activity created
a lot of interest in the sport, he re-.
calls, and led to a scheduled soar-.
ing meet.
Colonel Stanley designed a twoplace sailplane in 1932 which boasted a 75 foot wing spread and ificluded a sheet of plywood placed
horizontally in the aircraft so that
one pilot could lie down and rest
while the second pilot flew ,the
craft, in order to dispel some of the
discomforts of endurance flying
"Itcracked up on landing at a
soaring meet," he reminisced.
But that was a long time ago.
Colonel Stanley has rediscovered
the uninhibited freedom of silent
flight and the challenge of man
against the elements in the world
of the sailplane enthusiast.
"I'm no expert when it comes Io
soaring," he says modestly, "hut I
can say that there is no ether sen~fion like it."

Dear Editor:
I am writing on behalf of the
squadron (Air Training Corps, No.
2121 Squadron, Abingdon & District) to ask if you could inform
CAP units . . . that we would like
very much to. exchange tape recordings with some of them. The
basic idea would be to exchange
ideas, news and things in general.
If any . . . units are interested
. . please write me at 33 Bradstocks Way, Sutton Courtenay, Abingdon, Berks, England and I will
try to sort out some to exchange
tapes with.
If we receive a large number of
answers then we will try and keep
in contact with some by writing if
~he relevant units are agreeable to
this.
Yours sincerely,

Dr. Marrs emphasized that "it is
possible to place an equivalent
value on the search and rescue
work performed by Civil Air Patrol. ~" ccording to Air Force figures, CAP search and rescue service amounts to a net profit of almost two n~illion dollars above the
annual : ir Force investment in the
program.
"To me, this is not the important
thing abou. the search and rescue
mission," he said. "The important
thing is that the capability is there
when we need it, and it always
comes through!"
