More than one hundred
delegates attended the annual
Rocky mountain Regional conference at Estes Park last
month to hear future plans
for the organization and to
review progress in the various phases of the CAP program.
"We have made progress
in putting the air back in
Civil Air Patrol," Col. Joe
L. Mason told the conferees.
He pointed out that for the
Ist time power and glider
flight training programs are
being offered, and plans call
for the number of flight scholarships to be increased in
the years ahead.
Col. Mason called on all
members of CAP to strive
for greater recognition of the
program by the general pubflc, and pointed out that the
growth of the organization
was substantiated by the increased support from the Air
Force, both financially and
with more personnel. The
various scholarship programs
were described and the need
for increased flight training
in America was emphasized
by Col. Mason who compared
flight training provided to
thousands of youngsters in
other countries to the limited
opportunity available in America.
The value of aerospace education by public school administrators was emphasized
b y J o h n V. S o r e n s o n , D i r e c t o r
of Aerospace Education. He
traced the development of
flight from its earliest days,
pointing out that each progressive step came as a result of
a predecessor who may have
attempted to fly and failed.
He reminded the member that
the progress in aerospace of
tomorrow would be based on
T H
E
PAT R O L
t h e w o r k o f t h e p e o p l e t o d a y.
Special workshops, panel
discussions, and seminars
held on Saturday afternoon
provided an opportunity for
delegates to discuss specific
problems with representatives from National HQ, as
well as to compare progress
with other states in the region. Col. Arthur Putz, the
Commander of the Colorado
Wing, expressed satisfaction
with the conference in general, but added that more units
from Colorado should have
been there, especially since
Colorado Wing was the host
unit.
