Freedoms Foundation Cites IO
VALLEY FORGE, Pa -- An advertising series written and
produced by the Pennsylvania Wing's Group 90 information officer
won a Freedoms Foundation George Washington Honor Medal. The
series, which honored CAP and other local non-profit and charitable
groups, was the work of 2d Lt. Hugh Monaghan.

works performed over the years by the public-spirited professional
staffs and lay volunteers.

Fla. Cadets Involved In Ecology
HALLANDALE, Fla. -- Three cadets from the North MiamiCadet
Squadron recently did their part for ecology when they participated in
the Miami River cleanup.
Particinatin2 in the clean-up drive were Cadets Robert Sobczak, D.
Cunningham and K. Barnett.
The youths were first given a "river talk" of its past history and
what the city authorities hoped to do in the future. City officials also
hope that the people (who live on its banks) take the initiative and
follow the example set by the young people to keep their properties
cleared and clean.
Commenting on the project, the cadets said, "We left feeling we had
accomplished only a small fraction of our "cleanup" job."

Pilots Attend Flight Review
HARTSVILLE. S.C. The Federal Aviation Administration and
South Carolina's Aeronautics Commission recently conducted a biannual flight review. Some 500 pilots participated including 65 CAP
members from South Carolina.
The 12-hour course was conducted through the facilities of the
Technical Educatfon Center's educational closed circuit television and
talk back telephones.
Instructors for the course were Fred Begy of South Carolina's
Aeronautics Commission and Frank Kelly from the FAA.

Freedom Isn't Free
By Chaplain (Col.) Joseph T. O'Brien, USAF

On July 4, 1776 all who believed and signed the Declaration of
Independence truly placed their lives on the line. Memorial Day is
a grim reminder of the price we as a nation have paid to protect
and preserve that independence.
Maybe we could have had our freedom as a nation without the

......... undivided, thrived as two nations. Maybe World War I could have
been avoided. Maybe Hitler could have been stopped without
World War II. Maybe--but we do not know.
What we do know is that brave and courageous men died
because no one came up with the answers that prevented war.
And we must never forget them. They died for the love of their

died a few years ago in Vietnam, the men who died in all our
wars.

And remember, Memorial Day and Independence Day are not
just holidays--a day off--picnicking--taking it easy--but very
sacred and holy days in the history of our nation, when all of us
should take the time to remember as the song so well says:
"Freedom isn't free."

Three Cited For Boggs Search
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Three members of the Polaris Group
(Alaska Wing) were recently honored for their part in one of the
longest and most intensivesearches ever conducted by Civil Air Patrol
-- that for House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Nick Begich,
Congressman for Alaska.
Receiving the Meritorious Service Award were Ma]. Dale Jepson,

CAP units flew 444 sorties in 310 aircraft for a total of 1,074 in the
search which lasted from October 16 to Nov. 24. 1972.

HARTSVILLE, S.C.--As a
result of the 'efforts of CAP Lt.
Herman Chafin, S.C. Wing
i n f o r m a t i o n o f fi c e r, t h e W i n g
now has a portable display booth
to assist them in telling the Civil
Air Patrol story.
The booth, constructed of 1/4
inch plywood consists of 4 x 8
foot panels that form the upright
display area with a 3 x 8 foot
lower shelf. The shelf becomes a
display for radio equipment,
geiger counters, handout
material, slide projector and
tape recorder.
A small screen is painted in
one corner for projection of
slides and the booth has four
electrical outlets that can be
connected with an extension
cord to any llO-volt power
source.
The display was designed so
the photographs, maps and
information displayed on the upright panels can be changed or
up-dated.
Its first use was at a recent
industrial trade show sponsored
by the Florence Darlington
Technical Education Center at
Florence, S.C. There it was
manned by members of the
Florence Senior and Darlington
County Composite Squadrons.
The booth is now available to
all units in the Wing for use at
county fairs, exhibits, home
shows and schools.
This display is light, folds into
four pieces and is easy to
transport in a station wagon or
pickup truck.

Group Is Honored
For Their Actions
RACINE, Wisc. Group XII of
the Wisconsin Wing recently
received the Unit Citation
Award for their actions during
and after a severe storm that
struck southeastern Wisconsin
last summer.
The Burlington Airport was

CIVIL AIR PATROL NEWS

From The Commander

+l=Minus 1,388
II,,g Gen ~ J. Westberg, USAF
Nat, anal Commander
l,, September 1973, the Chairman
expressed concern over the alarming
loss of cadet membership in Civil Air
Patrol. There were 25,800 cadets on
board at that time. At the National
Board meeting in October 1973, the
"+1" Recruiting Program was initiated. Net result, as of May 31,
1974...1388 fewer cadets on board.
Membership in Civil Air Patrol is
now open to
seventh graders.

the National Head- ~
quarters current
roster of cadets.
Despite some optimistic forecasts
on better recruiting and retention
with younger people we had only 578

13-year-old cadets on our rolls as of
May 1974. Even if we include 14-yearold cadets, the 12, 13, 14-year age
group represents only 16 percent of
our cadet corps. Forty-two per cent of
our cadets are in the 15-16-year age
group, and the other 42 per cent are
cadets_ 17 to 21 years old.
It would appear safe to assume that
the 17 to 21 year-old age group
represents a successful retention effort and may indicate no recruiting
problem with the 17 year aids.
While we certainly should not ignore the 15-16-year-old age group, it
seems reasonable to point out that we
must put more emphasis on recruiting
and retaining our 12, 13 and 14 year
aids. They represent a vast potential
for retention and growth in the CAP
cadet program.
The preceding figures and observations are stated to highlight the fact
that we still have a serious cadet

Chairman's Comments
ii

A Tr i b u t e To C A P ' s F i n e s t
by Brig. Gen. William M. Patterson, CAP
National Board Chairman
To participate in this historic event in
any capacity would be a great privilege.
To be here, as successor to some of the
pioneer leaders whom we salutetoday, is
an honor which far exceeds my highest expectations.
In this age of blase' sophistication, I suppose it might be considered inelegant for a
middle-aged man to admit he can still
regard other men
with awe. If this is
true, you are looking
at inelegance personified.
About 30 years
ago, I was a brandnew bomber pilot in
Europe...and my top
boss was Lt. Gen.
Carl A. Spaatz (he was later )romoted to
general). As you can imagine, the distance
between one gold bar and three silver
stars in a combat theater covering all of
Europe, had to be computed in light years.
To us, General Spaatz was a legend and he
was idolized.
Another famous name of that time was
Maj. Gen. Lucas Beau.
Like a million other guys who served
with these gentlemen, I returned home
with a feeling of camaraderie and pride.
In 1952, I joined Civil Air Patrol. Its
National Chairman was General Spaatz
and the National Commander was General
Beau. Under their leadership the organization thrived in all areas. Over the years,
the light distance of 1944 diminished but
my respect for them has grown.
The high standards of excellence, of
dedication, which General Spaatz and
General Beau injected into their positions
created a formidable challenge for those
who followed them.
But this legacy of leadership was passed
without hesitation into capable sure
bands. General Spaatz was succeeded by
Brig. Gen. D. Harold Byrd, one of a handful of visionaries who saw the need for

Civil Air Patrol. He was a driving force in
getting it organized and leading it through
the trials and tribulations of wartime and
peacetime operations.
His successor was another charter
member, Brig. Gen. Cecil Whelen of
Tennessee who brought a world of aviation
experience into Civil Air Patrol and made
it available to everyone.
In 1962, Brig. Gen. Paul Turner was
elected National Chairman after two
decades in Civil Air Patrol during which
he flew everything in sight on every mission authorized and headed just about
every job. He is today the National
Comptroller.
When Civil Air Patrol was organized on
December 1, 1941, the fifth man to lead
Civil Air Patrol as National Chairman
wasn't even in the country. Brig. Gen.

Brig. Gen. F. Ward Reilly served as

patient teacher and his contributions to
aviation - not only in Civil Air Patrol -will never be forgotten.

has been a member of Civil Air Patrol for
nearly 34 years, is presently our National
Advisor on Safety and Operations.
I wish the late Gill Robb Wilson -- the
man who conceived the idea of a Civil Air
Patrol and organized it nationally -- could
be with us today.
And we miss the presence of that
wonderful lady from Puerto Rico -- Col.
Clara Livingston -- whose contributions to
Civil Air Patrol continue to grow after
three decades.
Two other honorees were not able to join
us today -- and this is regrettable because
they epitomize everything that has made
this great organization what it is today.
l'm referring to Col. Joseph S. Bergin of
Utah and Col. Alan C. Perkinson from
Virginia.
This Hall of Honor is a new and important milestone for Civil Air Patrol people
everywhere because it represents another
strong link in its affinity with the U.S. Air
Force.
It began in May 1971, when Gordy Weir
became Civil Air Patrol's first Executive
Director. He was only on the job a few
days when General Hal duPont told Gordy
he wanted a Hall of Honor established, and
neither General duPont nor Gordy have
been very far away from this project
since.
Another man who worked hard and long
behind the scenes was former Air Force
Chief of Staff, Gen. John P. McConnell.
The general was, in fact, the man who initially suggested this beautiful location for
the Civil Air Patrol of Honor. and then he
acted to help insure that this prestigious
site became a reality.
In closing, let me again say that it is a
singular honor for me to be here today.
The 12 members of this Hall of Honor
the five of them here; the five who were
not able to attend; and the two deceased
members, represent nearly four centuries
of service to the nation through aviation.
This is a fitting and lasting tribute, not
only to their aviation contributions, but
also to the personal attributes of
patriotism, dedication and personal
sacrifice.

Several minor modifications
were made to increase its use as

signal indicator was attached by
p lu gging into the earph one ja ck

strength. A loop antenna was
also
made
to ' increase
directional sensitivity.
This particular modification

MAXWELL AFB, Ala.--With
the increased number of aircraft
becoming equipped with (ELTs)
and with Civil Air Patrol's
capability in electronic search
using DF-88 homers, there is a
high interest in the need for the
development and use of small
economical hand held homing
devices to augment ground
search teams in their search
efforts.
There are several commercial
companies
currently
manufacturing a h a n d h e l d
homing device for locating
activated ELTs. Although they
were designed primarily for the
purpose of locating ELTs which
have been accidentally activated
without the pilot's knowledge,
they may also be suitable for use
by CAP ground teams in locating
ELTs during search and rescue
missions.
This headquarters has
requested the loan of these units
f r o m s e v e r a l o f t h e
manufacturers for testing.
Results of these tests and
recommendations as to their use
by CAP ground teams will be
published when completed.
These units range in price
from $90 to $250, which because
of the limited funding of most
CAP units, may be a hmiting
factor in their widespread use.
In an effort to develop an
inexpensive homer for use in
locating ELTs which would be
within the financial reach of all
CAP units, several individuals
have locally fabricated homers
using radios which receive the
aircraft band of frequencies.
, Two of these homers are
discussed below and are
described for possible use by
other units throughout CAP.

Rocky Mountain Region FAA.

SAN FRANCISCO'S BELOVED
THINGAMABOBS D Ever ride a national
landmark? It's being done every day in
San Francisco. The city's right-out-of-theSmithsonian cable cars were named a
national historic landmark in 1964 b the
U.S. Interior Department's
Service. It couldn't have happened to a
happier institution. The only vehicles of
t h e i r k i n d i n t h e w o r l d t o d a y, t h e s e
colorful anachronisms are a century old
San Francisco tradition. The control center
for the city's motorless cars is a circa 1886
red brick car barn at Washington and
Mason Streets. It houses the complicated
winding gear which plays out and reels in
the cable cars' lifelines - 10½ miles of
wrapped steel cable 1¼ inches in
d i a m e t e r - a t a s t e a d y 9 ~ m i l e s p e r h o u r.
The cable car roost and repair shops to the
rear of the engine room are open to the
p u b l i c w i t h o u t c h a r g e . Vi s i t i n g h o u r s a r e
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday Thursday and from 10 to 10 Friday and

Dedication Makes CAP Dream A Reality

W R I G H T- PAT T E R S O N
AFB,
O h i o - - A t p r e c i s e l y 11 : 5 3 , F r i d a y
morning, May 31, in the Air Force
Museum, here, a long-sought Civil
Air Patrol dream became a reality,
As severalhundredspecialguests
and museum visitors applauded, a
blue drape was removed to
unveil--and officially dedicate--the
CAP Hall of Honor Exhibit. (See
photos, inside.)
Among the
dignitaries participating in the
milestone event were five members
selected to the hall.
They were: D. Harold Byrd,
William C. Whelen, Paul W. Turner,
Lyle W. Castle and Edwin Lyons. A

cancel at the last moment because
of tragic circumstances. While the
general wasenroute to Ohio, his
wife passed away at the family
home in Virginia.
Just prior to the exhibit unveiling,
simple but impressive ceremonies
w e r e h e l d i n t h e m u s e u m t h e a t e r.
C h a p l a i n ( C o l . ) J o s e p h T. O ' B r i e n
delivered an invocation which he
had written for the occasion. Next,
Museum Director Col. Bernie S. Bass,
U S A F, w e l c o m e d t h e g u e s t s a n d
introduced
CAP's
National
Chairman Bri~. Gen. William M.
Patterson who traced the growth of
Civil Air Patrol in the hands of the

men and women who have received
the highest honor a grateful
membership can bestow. (Seepage
4--Chairman's Comments for camplete remarks.)

The chairman was followed by
Air Force Brig. Gen. Leslie J.
W e s t b e r g n a t i o n a l c o m m a n d e r,
who spoke with brief eloquence,
-" ...The men and women we
honor here represent not only the
c i v i l i a n a u x i l i a r y. . . b u t a l s o t h e A i r
Force itself. The twelve pioneers
selected for this high tribute each
had a role in blending the attributes
of both for the ultimate benefit of
all Americans...
"...I think the highest possible
accolade is not in their deeds of
yesterday but in the highly visible

contributions of Civil Air Patrol
today. These men and women hav-e
carved a rich history and built a
strong foundation for the future.
That future is in good hands. Many
of today's leaders are students,
p r o t e g e s a n d disciples o f
our
honorees.
"...This monument, enshrined in
this beautiful building, insures that
millions of people will know the
story of Civil Air Patrol and the
leaders who created it and guided
d e s t i n y, ( b u t ) . . T h e g r e a t e s t
testimonial to their years of labor,
sacrifice and personal contributions,
i n t h e f a c e o f m a n y, m a n y
obstacles, are the thousands of
volunteers who insure that Civil Air
Patrol will always be an integral,

terson, represented
Air Force
Chief of Staff (now Chairman, Joint
Chiefs of Staff) Gen. George S.
Brown.
General Catton praised the
accomplishments of Civil Air Patrol
which
he
has personally
observed..."Going back to 1942
when I was a young Lieutenant and
you people came through for us
when we couldn't do it ourselves, 1
was amazed then at the job CAP
people were doing...Coastal Patrol,
Border Surveillance, Search and
Rescue, Towing Targets and many
others. I'm still amazed--and I'll
never forget your record-breaking
SAR operations in 1971 when I was
working with Civil Air Patrol and
ourAerospaceRescueandRecovery
Service. (At that time General
Catton headed the Military Airlift
Command to which ARRS is
assigned.)
In conclusion, the trim, four-star
general said, "We're delighted to
have CAP represented here. We
salute you, we congratulate you,
and it's good to have you on the Air
Force team.'"
