New Year Off To Good Start;
CAP Save Total Climbs To 11

MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- Civil Air Patrol members from across the nation moved into the new
year doing what they do best, "saving lives."
While most people throughout the nation were celebrating the arrival of the new year,
members of the Wyoming Wing were busy assisting persons stranded in a winter blizzard where
they recorded the first two saves for 1976.
They were placed on a precautionary alert Dec. 31, 1975, due to a severe snow storm which
prevented ambulance service in the Cheyenne area.
The volunteers used four-wheel drive vehicles and labored
throughout the night and the following day transporting stranded individuals to safety. Fifty-seven persons were assisted durW l@@ ,.

On the morning of the 29th, the cadets boarded a shuttle bus
bound for the Drill Competition. As the teams performed in the
three phases of the drill, it became apparent, to judges and
spectators alike, why each of them had been chosen to represent their region. All teams executed each phase, of this competition with precision and pride. The overall drill competition
winner was the Southwest Region team which performed with expertise throughout the event. Second place was captured by the
Middle East Region closely followed by the Northeast Region.
Following lunch, the cadets returned for the third round of
the Cadet Bowl Panel quiz. In a fiercely competitive final
round, spurred on by cheering teammates, the Great Lakes
team emerged victorious in a contest that was decided by the
very last question.
The competition concluded with an awards presentation
cermeony and banquet followed by a cadet dance. This event
was held at the Maxwell Officers Club. Air Force Brig. Gen.

performances, and especially for the quality of sportsmanship
displayed by all of the 165 participants in this year's National
Cadet Competition.
General Miller kicked off the awards ceremony by presenting
the trophy to the winners of the Cadet Bowl, the Great Lakes
Region team. The second trophy awarded went to the Middle
East Region team, winners of the physical fitness event, and
was presented by Colonel Casaday. Air Force Lt. Col. Gale L.
Haskin, director, Cadet Programs, presented the third trophy
to the drill competition winners, the Southwest Region team.
Cadet Col. Donald Parman (1974 Cadet of the Year) presented
the Southeast Region the coveted Sportsmanship Award.
The highlight of the evening was General Miller's presentation of the Sweepstakes Trophy to the team with the highest
score for the overall competition -- the Southwest Region,
represented by a team from Texas. The Great Lakes team was
presented the runner-up award by Colonel Casaday.
It should be pointed out here that this year's competition was
extremely close as evidenced by the point spread for the top
three teams -- a scant eight points !

CIVIL AIR PATROL NEWS

MARCH, 1976

Dear Abbot,
Just who the heck are you? And what good
are you? I wrote you about the problem of my
unit being merged with another one and my
squadron commander being put under a less
experienced one. All you had to say was that
it was command problem and you could only
speak for the chaplain.
Confused.
Dear Confused,
As to who I am -- I'm the chaplain's
spokesman. What good am I? That remains to
be seen. I'm here to answer and to air your
moral and ethical problems -- and don't tell
me you ain't got none! If you've got a
command or policy beef, the CAPR 123-2, 5
June 75, is your answer.
Dear Abbot,
Last Sunday in church the Boy Scouts
carried in the American and Christian flags,
we sang a patriotic hymn and prayed for the
President and other leaders, and the chaplain
used part of his sermon to tell us how lucky
we are to be Americans. In the afternoon, I
watched the national anthem sung at the
beginning of the football game. For most
people it was just a delay of the game. On the
news that night I saw whites opposed to
busing waving American flags and shouting
racist slogans. I felt the same about all of that
baloney. Patriotism -- who needs it?
I'm Fed Up With Flag-Wavers
Dear Fed Up,
Didn't you miss a few like the Ku Khx Klan
with its fluttering flags and burning crosses;
"America -- Love It or Leave it" bumper
stickers; crooked politicians hiding behind
nationalistic rhetoric? If patriotism is just

shouted slogans and flag-waving and
meaningless ceremonies, then you're right.
Who needs it!
Maybe it's time we tried to redefine
patriotism. Allow me a few openers:
Patriotism is informed public spirit. It is
genuine concern for the conditions within our
society that degrade and dehumanize and
demean persons. It is concern that expresses
itself in positive action -- not words, but
deeds.
Patriotism in 1976, as in 1776, fights
oppression and demands equal justice and
equal opportunity for all. The lack of
opportunity to participate in the decisions
that affected the lives of the colonies was one
factor that led to the American Revolution. A
patriot is a participant in democracy and does
ever)lhing humanly possible to entourage the
participatioa ol others.
A patriot is able to see and admit the
mistakes we have made ami are making as a
nation. He insists, often to the point of
angering others, that the nation continually
examine its collective conscience so that the
problems discovered can be corrected.
Patriotism is solving our national problems,
not denying their existence. Patriotism
respects all persons in our society but is
especially concerned about the least powerful
and the most helpless. Patriotism places the
d i g n i t y o f m a n a b o v e t h e u s e o f p o w e r.
Patriotism ":s genuine concern for what our
society does for all its members.
We have -- America has -- a lot of growing
to do. There's not much perfection around, in
people or nations. If we turn our backs on our
patriotic duties, we're far worse than those
we criticize. After all, we know better!

Executive Director's Comments

Fewer Accidents In 1975

by Brig. Gen. Carl S. Miller, USAF
Executive Director

The CAP accident statistics

will be published at a later
d a t e ; h o w e v e r, a p r e l i m i n a r y
review of the figures shows
that 1975 was a good year in
terms of fewer accidents. The
number of vehicle accidents
and bodily injury accidents
were both considerably less
than in previous years. The
aircraft accident rate will be
much lower than any year
since we started keeping
records.
One might pause at this juncture to ask if the improvements
is, in fact; a result of accident
prevention activities or just
plain luck. Granted, there may

wherein some degree of luck

when they conducted an open house.
This was an effort by the Army unit to show the people in the local
area what their mission is and how they use their helicopters, During
their presentations, they praised the CAP unit for their expertise and
pointed out to the visitors that the unit was their long search arm due
to their limited radius of activity.

CIVIL AIR PATROL NEWS

CAP Saves 57 Lives During 1975
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. 1975
was an impressive year for Civil
Air Patrol. Reverse the Iast two
digits in 1975 and you have the
number of people throughout the
nation who were able to celebrate
the beginning of the Bicentennial
year because of CAP.
The 57 lives the nationwide
organization saved in 1975
through its air search and rescue
and other emergency service activities was not a record, but was
21 higher than the number
recorded in 1974. The highest
number recorded in recent years
is 78, a record set in 1968.
Flying activity was involved
with 49 of the 57 lives saved, and
45 of these were a direct result of
air search and rescue
operations. CAP located its
search objective 304 times involving 340 persons in distress.
Once again Alaska -- with 24
-- led all other CAP wings in
number of lives saved. Colorado
was second with seven saves
followed by Oregon with six.
Idaho and Louisiana chalked up
four saves each and Ohio and
Wyoming each had three.
Mississippi, New Mexico and
Wisconsin were credited with
two each. Virginia and Arizona
each were credited with saving a
life during the year. Two of the
saves were shared by Colorado
and New Mexico.
Although Alaska led in the
number of lives saved, California, Colorado, Florida and
Arizona were ahead in sorties
and flying hours. California
registered 1,787 sorties with
2,782.5 flying hours, while
Colorado recorded 1,230 sorties
and 2,471.4 flying hours. Florida'
had 1,300 sorties and 2,191.8
hours. Alaska flew 695 sorties requiring 1,468.5 hours.
The persons saved during 1975
included pilots and passengers of
crashed aircraft, hikers, a lost
youngster, tornado victims,
skiers, the desperately ill, a
Coast Guard crew and
passengers, hunters and
automobile and train accident
victims.
Following are brief descriptions of the rescue missions in
which CAP was credited with
saving a life during 1975:

skiers~ in Colorado's Rocky
Mountains. A CAP aircraft
located the missing pair after
slightly more than an hour of
searching and notified an Aspen
SAR team which moved snowmobile units into the area to
return the skiers to safety.
In early April an Oregon Wing
ground rescue team was instrumental in saving the lives
of five young hikers who were
stranded on Neabkahnie Mountain in the extreme northwestern
tip of Oregon. The resuce was
effected within five hours after
CAP was alerted.
Search operations by a
Louisiana CAP crew following a
tornado in the extreme western

CAP shared the save with the
U.S. Air Force, whose helicopter

The largest number of lives
CAP has saved at one time in
many years, and possibly the
biggest one-time save in its
history, occurred when the
Alaska Wing was credited with
saving the lives of eight persons,
four U.S. Coast Guard crewmen

Four saves were chalked up by
CAP ground teams on Oct. 24. A
Mississippi ground team was
credited with saving the lives of

Oct. 27. The Fairbanks unit
launched and located an overdue
aircraft by the signal from its
ELT in a lake 100 miles west of
Fairbanks. While assisting the
one aircraft, another aircraft
was located crashed in the same
lake. The second plane had landed to assist the first aircraft and
had also broken through the ice.
Due to the cold, remoteness of
the terrain and loss of survival
gear, two saves were credited.
A CAP ground team was
credited Nov. 8 with saving the
life of a missing hunter near
Hood River, Ore. The rescue effort was started after two 17-

year-old boys were reported
missing while on a hunting trip.
The CAP ground team located
the hunters and a save was
credited as one of the hunters
was suffering from exposure.
A two-day search for an overdue boat was completed Dec. 16
when the Sitka, Alaska, CAP
spotted the lost people on a
beach. They had rowed ashore
after their large fishing vessel
capsized and broke up. Due to
the weather conditions,
remoteness of the wreckage and
lack of adequate gear to survive
another night, two saves were
credited to the Sitka CAP.
The Clear, Alaska, unit picked
up a save Dec. 19 when an injured man was evacuated to the
Fairbanks Hospital. A U-6
Beaver aircraft evacuated the
patient suffering from a heart
attack to the hospital. A save

was credited because of the
serious nature of the illness,
which was confirmed by the
hospital.
Dale Jepsen of the Anchorage,
Alaska, CAP unit was given
credit for four saves when he led a
lost pilot and his three passengers
to safety Dec. 21. Jepsen picked
up an emergency radio call from
the lost plane and after making
visual contact realized the aircraft was heading out to sea and
through radio communications
guided the aircraft safely back
to Anchorage.
CAP's final save of the year
occurred Dec. 24 when the
Arizona CAP located an aircraft
that had crashed 110 miles
northeast of Phoenix. An Air
Force helicopter was called in
by the CAP crew to make a hoist
pickup due to the high trees and
high winds in the area.
In addition to its search and
rescue operations, Civil Air
Patrol was also busy m a
number of disaster and
humanitarian situations in 1975
in various parts of the nation.
These fncluded floods and
flooding situations in Pennsylvania. Florida. Indiana,
Wisconsin and Michigan: snowstorms in Oklahoma and

Chairman of the Board, a
position he held for 11 years
( 1948-1959 ).
At its December meeting
the National Executive Committee of Civil Air Patrol
approved a donation of $1,000
to this project.
At the time he forwarded
the check to the Academy,
CAP Brig. Gen. William M.
Patterson, national commander, said, "The donation
is an expression of the esteem and high regard in
which General Spaatz was
held by the total membership
o f C A P, b o t h p a s t a n d
present."
He further stated,
"General Spaatz literally laid
the cornerstone of this great
organization. Through his inspiration, guidance and
leadership CAP became a
postwar, symbol of volunteer
humanitarianism that has
served both this country and
its people so well through the
years."
In a letter to General
Patterson, the widow of the
late General Spaatz express-

ed her appreciation to CAP
for the donation The letter
read in part. "My daughters
and I are deeply touched and
pleased by Civil Air Patrol's
splendid gift to the Memorial
Fund in my husband's name
at the Air Force Academy. I
know he would be as happy as
we are by this generous donation in his memory from the
organization that was always
very close to his heart."
Lt. Gen. James R. Allen,
superintendent of the Air
Force Academy, in his letter
to General Patterson
acknowledging and thanking
CAP for its generous contribution, indicated that the

project will cost approximately $15,000. This includes

For 'Assist' From CAP
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. -- Florida Wing's Eglin Comp.
Sq. has been asked by the Fort Walton Beach Cost Guard Auxiliary to provide the auxiliary unit with an air search capability, according to the unit's jcommander, CAP 1st Lt. Bill Wootton.
The squadron will assist in the search for distressed boaters along
Florida's Gulf Coast with a view toward improving the Coast Guard's
effectiveness.
Lieutenant Wootton reports that the Florida Wing has approved the
Coast Guard Auxfliary's request. At this time the CAP unit has
equipped its Cessna 150 aircraft with survival equipment for
overwater flights.
In support of these missions, Air Force Col. Roderick G. Gfffin,
commander, Eglin Air Force Base, has agreed to provide special
radar coverage of these missions. In addition the base will operate a
survival training school for CAP pilots and observers.
Lieutenant Wootton expressed hope that this agreement will lead to
greater cooperation between the Eglin CAP unit and the Fort Walton
Beach Coast Guard unit, increasing the life saving capabilities of both
units.

awakened about 1 a.m. by a tenant banging on the door.
"I stepped outside the door
and there was smoke pouring
through the corridor. People
were screaming for help all
o v e r. T h e y w e r e p e t r i fi e d
because they heard a big explosion in one of the apartments,"
Burden said.
According to one of the commendations, "With great
presence of mind and without
regard for his own safety, he
attempted to reach the apartment nearest the one involved
with fire. Because of the intense
heat, he was forced to retreat."
"But the safety of the tenants
being uppermost in his mind, he
withdrew to the outside of the
building, where he was able to
assist several of the victims to
safety and shelter by way of the
retaining walls and balconies."
When the fire trucks arrived,
Burden said they stopped up the
street, but he called out to them
where the fire was. He said it
was raining and he gave his coat
to one of the women outside in
her nightgown. "I brought the
people into a safer area," he'.
said.
Fire reports said he assisted
about 40 victims in the assembly
area. "His supportive and en-,
couraging role was later mentioned by several of the victims
as being of great help in
preventing the near-panic
among them," the commendation read. "James PI Burden, by
his courageous action, reflected
great credit on himself and his
Civil Air Patrol training, all
without regard for his own personal safety and at great risk to
his own wellbeing."
Burden, himself suffered
smoke inhalation from the fire,
"but his training did come to the
forefront when needed most,'~
the commendation read.

CIVIL AIR PATROL NEWS

~_A_RCH, 1976

Historic Event

CAP Pilot To Re-enact Flight
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. On
April 6, 1976, an Illinois Wing
Civil Air Patrol member will
attempt to re-enact the flight
which marked the beginning of
permanent scheduled airline service in the United States exactly
50 years before.
CAP Maj. E.E. "Buck"
Hilbert. who serves as aircraft
maintenance officer for the
Illinois Wing and is a United
Airlines DC-8 pilot in civilian
life, will fly a restored Swallow
biplane the same type of plane
that made the first flight on
April 6. 1926 -- from Pasco,
Wash.. to Boise, Idaho. He will
follow the same time schedule
and route flown on the first flight
by Leon D. Cuddeback, chief
pilot for Varney Air Lines, a
predecessor company of United
Airlines.
Hilbert found the Swallow disassembled and in a bare bones
condition in the loft of a commercial garage in Chicago some
years ago. The plane is jointly
owned by Hilbert and two other
members of the CAP Illinois
Wing -- CAP Maj. Cario
Toffenetti Jr., commanding ofricer, Executive Reserve Group;
and CAP Maj. J. Robert Schroeder, a member of the Executive
Reserve Group.
The plane is being restored to
a flyable condition by Edward
McConneU of Seneca, Ill., and
was expected to be completed by
mid-February.
The Swallow had not flown in
more than 40 years, and records
_ of is early history have long been
~ lost. It was owned in the 1930s by
five men, one the operator of a
commercial auto garage in
Chicago. After it was damaged
in a groundloop in 1934, it was
moved up into the loft.
Hilbert learned of its existence
10 years ago and tried unsuccessfully for that length of time to
buy it, but the owner would not
sell.
The owner changed his mind
last winter when a fire swept
through his garage. The plane
was not damaged by the flames.
but the owner realized that it
could have been lost forever in
the fire. Be finally agreed to sell
it.

The re-enactiment flight will
commemorate the 50th birthday
Of the U.S. commercial air transport industry and United
Airlines and will be ~
with a parade, luncheon and
other events at Boise on April 6,
1976. It has been listed as a
Bicentennial year event by the
American Revolution Bicentennial Administration in
Washington. D.C.
After he completes the 244mile flight from Pasco, Major

Hilbert will join Cuddeback at
Boise for the festivities.
The original flight by
Cuddeback inaugurated service
by Varney Air Lines and was
made from Pasco to Boise and
then on to Elko, Nev. The 460mile route was known as
Contract Air Mail tRoute No. 5
and Cuddeback's flight was the
first delivery of mail by air by a
p r i v a t e c o n t r a c t o r. S i m i l a r
routes were operated by other
pioneer airlines shortly after.
TOP CADET AWARD -- Cadet Col. James R. Bielk, center,
of New Jersey Wing's Linden Composite Squadron, is
presented CAP's highest cadet awaid, the Gen. Carl A.
Spaatz Award, by CAP Brig. Gen. William M. Patterson,
left, national commander, and Air Force Brig. Gen. Carl S.
Miller, CAP executive director. Cadet Bielk, a two-year
veteran of CAP, has held numerous positions in his unit including deputy cadet commander and flight commander.
The presentation was made at the Northeast Region Conference held at New York's Concord hotel recently.

STURDY SKELTON -- Waiting to be covered is the fuselage
of the Swallow biplane scheduled to fly between Pasco,
Wash., and Boise, Idaho, next April. E.E. "Buck" Hilbert, a
major in CAP and a United DC-8 pilot and owner of the
plane, kneels on the front seat while Edward E. McConnell,
who is restoring the old plane to flying condition in his
workshop, hands him the instrument panel for a cheek to see
how it fits. The Swallow was expected to be flying in February.

Flight Clinic
Attracts Fliers

EASTON, Md. -- Fifty aircrew personnel from throughout
Maryland recently attended the
annual Maryland Wing flight
clinic at Easton's Municipal Airport.
The two-day event was a
carefully planned school of the
air with flight training and
refresher programs being
offered to upgrade pilot
proficiencies. Major attention
centered around pilot checkouts
in varying types of aircraft.
Other supervised instruction included instrument simulation,
biennial reviews and advanced
maneuvers.
Ground school instruction was
offered concurrent with flying
programs. Prime subjects were
weather, psychology ,of flight
and search patterns involving
emergency locator transmitter
(ELT) signals.
CAP Lt. Col. James Tice,
Maryland Wing safety officer,
directed the program.

Region Adds
New Training
For Seniors

BOLLING AFB. D.C. -- There
is new emphasis on senior training in the Middle East Region as
evidenced when 30 members
"representing 27 units in the
region attended a squadron commanders school.
The school, first of its kind in
CAP, was conducted under the
auspicies of Air Force Lt. Col.
Walter Straughan, MER liaison
officer, and CAP Maj. Barbara
Morris, MER deputy chief of
staff.
Instructors for the school included CAP Col. Jon Hill, MER
commander"
Colonel
Straughan; Maj. Jim Keller,
MER assistant DSC: CAP Lt.
Col. Alfred Morris, Grissom
Squadron commander, and Bill
Reynolds, MER aerospace
education directors. The combined subjects taught added up
to three points -- to be a
thinking, communicating and
credible commander.
At the close of the sessions,
certificates were presented to
all by Colonel Hill and CAP. Col.
Charles X. Suraci, National
Capital Wing commander and
project officer.

Fla. Unit Performs Drill
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Members of Civil Air Patrol's East Duval
Optimist Comp. Sq. performed a drill exhibition for youths attending
the annual Muscular Dystrophy Camp at Switzerland, Fla., recently.
The camp staff asked for the drill exhibition because they were
attempting to expose the youths to various areas of military life and
training.
After a drill practice at their home squadron, the cadets traveled to
the camp where they performed basic drill maneuvers according to
the CAP Drill Competition Manual. Some "monkey drill" was included as an added attraction.
The camp staff expressed their appreciation to the cadets by inviting them to an informal dinner.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Col. Kermit
K. Schauer, commander of the
North Dakota wing, was
presented one of Civil Air
Patrol's highest senior member
training awards the Gill Robb

National Board Meeting held
here in October.
The second highest award is
presened for conspicuously
meritorious performance and exceptionally distinguished service
in the CAP senior member program.
Colonel Schauer joined CAP in
1967 and has served as cadet
program officer and squadron
commander of the Dakota Pilots
Sq. I-le became commander of
the wing in 1974.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -Are you among the millions of
Americans involved in commemorating the Bicentennial? If not, there is stiiltime
to join the festivities.
The American Revolution
Bicentennial Administration
(ARBA) has just published a
booklet describing some of
the ways America's 200th anniversary will be celebrated
in communities across the
land.
Called "What YOU Can Do:
A Bicentennial Idea Book,"
the 10-page publication is
available free of charge.
The booklet originated in
ARBA's regional office in
Atlanta, based on their experiences working with local
.communities. It describes 20
ways Americans are participating in the Bicentennial,
and illustrates a diversity of
ideas.
In his preface to the
booklet, John W. Warner,
ARBA Administrator, says:
"Many of us have our own
ideas for the commemoration. For the ~ost
part, these are very personal
kinds of commitments which
come from deep inside us.
Frequently, however, these
ideas are potentially very
meaningful to our communities and offer an opportunity for a very real and
lasting contribution.
"It is precisely for this
reason that this book has been
prepared; to share plans and
ideas with you."
The "Idea Book" can be obtained by writing any of
ARBA's 10 regional offices,
or: ARBA, 2401 E Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C.

Awarded For Bravery
v

Two Recognized For 'Acts'

members were cited recently
for heroic deeds -- one of
which was accomplished 33
years ago.

HEROISM AWARD -- CAP Maj. Paul Routhier, right, of the
Pennsylvania Wing is presented American Legion's Medal
For Outstanding Heroism by William Pick, commander, The
Milton Jarrett Norman Post 201.

American Legion Cites

Major For 'Heroism'
S A N B U R Y, P a . - - C A P M a j . P a u l R o u t h i e r, a m e m b e r o f
Pennsylvania Wing's Group 40 of Montoursville, performed an
act of bravery that earned him the American Legion's Medal
for Outstanding Heroism.
Routhier, a former Sunbury resident who now lives at Windfield, saved a boy from drowning during the flood of September
1975.
Routhier was on a CAP routine check of homes along Penn's
Creek, threatened by destruction as the water rose during the
flood.
William Packer of Sunbury, a member of American Legion
Post 201, reported that Routhier noticed a boy standing on a
bank of the creek in Monroe Township, about a half-mile north
of Attig Road. He stopped his vehicle to warn the boy of the
danger of his position as he stood only a few feet above a
swollen tributary.
As he was about to warn the boy, the creek bank gave way
and the victim plunged into the swirling water.
It was reported that Routhier plunged into the creek fully
clothed, in an effort to save the boy. The force of the current
swept both away toward the deeper midstream until Routhier
was able to grab a tree branch. With the aid of others, he was
able to get the boy and himself onto dry land.
Witnesses were unable to learn the boy's name as he ran
from the scene to his bicycle. The boy was believed to be about
10 years old.
Routhier was .recognized for this "act of bravery above and
beyond his duty" on Jan. 24, during the annual banquet of
American Legion Post 201.

CAP Members, Wing Honored
By National SAR Organization
DENVER, Colo. -- The
National Association of Search
and Rescue Coordinators
(NASARC) recently presented
awards to two Civil Air Patrol
members and the North Dakota
CAP Wing.
Capt. Maurice E. Powell of
Alaska's Polaris Group was one
of those singled out by the group
to receive the State SAR Coordinators Award for "unselfish
donation of his time and skills on
a volunteer basis."
In nominating Captain Powell
for the award, the Alaska
Disaster Office cited his "total
dedication to the safety and wellbeing of his fellow man.'
The recommendation further
stated that Powell's service
couldn't be measured in objective terms alone, "his reward is
to know that he has done all
within his power to help those in
need."
Captain Powell currently
serves as chief of the Flight
Inspection District Office,

Federal Aviation Administration
( FA A ) a t A n c h o r a g e I n t e r national Airport.
He joined CAP more than
three years ago and has served
as emergency services officer
with the Alaska Wing and is
presently deputy commander of
the Polaris Group.
The veteran of more than 1,000
hours flying time has served on
numerous search missions, both
as pilot and as mission coordinator.
Also receiving recognition
from the national organization
during their annual conference
at Denver, Colo., were the North
Dakota Civil Air Patrol Wing
and George Connell, a member
of the Utah CAP Wing.
The North Dakota Wing was
recognized for their efforts during the January and March blizzards when they rescued and
recovered many storm victims.
Connell was, cited for his service with the National Jeep
Search and Rescue Association.

Honored were Cadet
Warrant Officer Thomas R.
Peoples of Virginia and CAP
Col. James E. Conner Jr.. of
Texas. They were awarded
CAP's Silver Medal of Valor
and Bronze Medal of Valor
respectively.
Cadet Peoples, of
Virginia's Monticello Composite Squadron, earned
CAP's highest award when he
risked his life to save a fellow
passenger from their crashed
aircraft on Oct. 18, 1975.
Peoples was an observer
aboard a Beechcraft aircraft
participating in a search and
rescue exercise in the mountains of the Shenandoah
National Park when the accident occurred. The crash
claimed the life of one CAP

officer and severely injured
the pilot and another cadet
observer,
The citation accompanying
the award read in part
"...although injured, Cadet
Peoples exhibited distinguished and conspicuous
heroic action when danger to
himself was probable and
known..."
Peoples was unsuccessful
in attempting to extinguish a
fire that was commencing to
sweep from the engine to the
rear of the passenger compartment. He subsequently
assisted Cadet Barney L.
Brannen III, who sustained a
broken back and was in
shock, from the aircraft and
took him to a safe location,
Having saved the cadet's life,
Peoples then scaled the rugged terrain to direct rescue
personnel to the crash site.
The belated presentation of
CAP's second highest award
to Colonel Conner was for
risking his life to remove
machinery and bombs from a

magnesium bomb plant,
which was on fire on the night
of Dec. 15, 1943.
Colonel Conner (then
lieutenant) was notified of a
fire at the Austin Bridge
Company plant in Dallas.
Although fully aware of the
serious hazard and possibility
of being burned or killed, the
colonel made many trips into
the burning building to
remove machinery and
bombs. His acts saved many
bombs that the country needed in the war effort.
His unselfish act of bravery
in the face of known danger
was
termed
as
"...representing the spirit of
Civil Air Patrol," in a letter
from the then commander of
G r o u p O n e , Te x a s W i n g ,
Capt. A.J. Bommer.
Colonel Conner is currently
a member of the Southwest
Region staff.
The awards were recently
approved by the National Executive Committee during
their quarterly meeting here.

"THE BEST" -- Cadet
SSgt. Patricia Holton of
Michigan's Selfridge AFB
Cadet Squadron 3-5 was
named "The Outstanding
Cadet" during a Michigan
Encampment held at Fort
K n o x , K y. T h e e n campment, hosted by the
U.S. Army, included 75
cadets from the Macomb
County area. The cadets
viewed Army helicopters
and M-48 tanks during
their stay in addition to
receiving special training
and lectures.

Fla. Unit Hosts
Vietnan Youth
LANTANA, Fla. -- Four young
Vietnamese men were special
guests recently at a meeting of
the Lantana-Lake Worth Cadet
Sq.
The Vietnamese, who are
studying English and live at the
Family Center in Delray Beach,
were treated to an interesting
question and answer session.
The cadets got an opportunity to
gain some first-hand knowledge
of life in Vietnam and the
visitors got information on the
Civil Air Patrol cadet program.
During the discussion, one of
the Vietnamese mentioned that
they had never been to a live
football game. Cadet MSgL
Audrey Cooper volunteered to
take them to a high school game
that week.
Although the visitors were surprised at the noise level where
they were sitting in the cheering
section, they all enjoyed the
game.

Air Meets Planned
To Select U.S. Team
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The National PilotsAssociation and the
National Intercollegiate Flying Association will again sponsor light
aircraft precision flight competitions leading to the selection of a
U.S. Team for the 1977 World Championships.
Five regional air meets will be scheduled during the fall of 1976
and spring of 1977. A National Fly-off will be conducted at a central
U.S. location in the late spring of 1977.
Region air meets will be hosted by college flying clubs at five
different locations throughout the country. Competition will be
open to all pilots who hold a private pilot certificate and have at
least 100 pilot hours logged. Pilots will fly competition events solo
in single-engine, light aircraft.
The top scoring 10 per cent of the contestants registered at each
regional air meet will be invited to participate in the National Flyoff. (A minimum of five pilots will be invited from each region.) No
pilot may participate in more than one regional meet.
The National Fly-off will be the final competition and the top
scoring four finalists will be invited to make up the U.S. Precision
Flight Team for 1977. These four pilots will represent the United
States in the second World Championships of Light Airplane
Piloting to be held in Linz, Austria, in August 1977. The team
members will receive an expense paid trip to Europe for the world
event.
Light airplane precision flight competition tests the skill of pilots
in performing routine flying maneuvers with emphasis on technique and accuracy. Events consist of power-on and power-off spot
landings and a cross-country navigation flight.

clarified the policy on the authorized tie tack or bar to specify that only those

5. NEWS INQUIRIES. In the past week national radio news reporters have
called CAP mission coordinators and information officers on three separate
occasions. Each time, the CAP member was recorded and this recording
was made a part of a national radio news release. This resulted in excellent
national news coverage for CAP's emergency service mission. All mission
coordinators and Ins should be aware of the possibility of receiving such a
call, should work closely with local media and wire services to increase the
chance of attracting national news interest, and--most importantly--should
be prepared to handle such interest if it is generated. In addition, remember
that what you say may be recorded. Assure that you do not make any cornm e n t s t h a t w o u l d b e i n a p p r o p r i a t e f o r a n e w s r e l e a s e . Ta k e t h e t i m e r i g h t
