To t h e 1 2 2 p e o p l e w h o a t t e n ded the Wing Conference, my
thanks. That was the first
chance I have had to meet
with some of you, and I was
i m p r e s s e d . Yo u r d e v o t i o n
and dedication to the Civil
Air Patrol came through.
This is what the whole program is about: dedicated
individuals devoting time
and resources to a program
that can help their fellow
man. Thanks again.
Several programs are in the
works, based on information
gained from meeting with you
at the conference. The
first is a SAF~CD combination mission scheduled for
1 5 - 1 7 F e b r u a r y, 1 9 7 5 . T h i s
will be a joint mission with

will enable squadrons to
better plan to use time and
resources. Any squadron that
is planning an exercise in
which other squadrons or

get it down on paper and
send it to the Plans and
Programs Officer at Wing.
We are still~ planning to go
for the number one spot in
the nation in 1975, but
without the help of each of
you it will be impossible.
This means that each and

pull his or her share and

consisted of a combination

been difficult to obtain

Wing Names Winners
of Solo Scholarships
The Wing Finance Committee
then decided a third scholarskip should be donated by
Wing Headquarters.
Missouri Wing Headquarters
has announced the winners
of the solo flight scholarships provided by National
Headquarters as a result of
Missouri' s cadet membership
and recruitment during 1973.
Because the Corporate Matching Funds Program has been
restructured on a National
level to provide funds for
orientation flights and one
to three $120 solo scholarships to each Wing, it has
been more difficult to decide on scholarship recipients. I'It is possible that
this action may be continued
in the future, with at least
one scholarship being donat e d b y W i n g S t a ff m e m b e r s o r

Wing Names Winners
of Solo Scholarships
The Wing Finance Committee
then decided a third scholarskip should be donated by
Wing Headquarters.
Missouri Wing Headquarters
has announced the winners
of the solo flight scholarships provided by National
Headquarters as a result of
Missouri' s cadet membership
and recruitment during 1973.

restructured on a National
level to provide funds for
orientation flights and one
to three $120 solo scholarships to each Wing, it has
been more difficult to decide on scholarship recipients. I'It is possible that
this action may be continued
in the future, with at least
one scholarship being donat e d b y W i n g S t a ff m e m b e r s o r
by the Cadet Section," NAJ
Knutz said.
Sharing the .wards are
Tamara Joseph, 2ichardsGebaur Composite Squadron;
Gregory Hampton, St Louis
