KNOW YOUR CIVIL AIR PATROL ||
Releaied by F. S. RHODE, C.A.P. Commander
NOTE: This is seventh in a series
outlining the objectives and capa
bilities of the Civil Air Patrol,
nationally and locally.
CAP Mission: Adult Education
Citizens of our country, know
ledgeable in the problem of air
power, recognize that the strength
of our country is proportional to
our air strength, both military
and civil.
Consequently, a n important
part of the Civil Air Patrol mis
sion is to aid all citizens to in
crease their knowledge and un
derstanding of the problems of
air power, and remain alert and
aware of the position of the United
States relative to international
air power, as it applies to our
Air Force, commercial airlines,
business and private aviation ac
tivities. It is important that all
adults have a clear concept of the
importance of the supporting in
dustries — electronic, airframe
and engine manufacturers. With
out a healthy air power economy,
the entire future of our country
will stand in jeopardy.
To carry out this phase of the
Civil Air Patrol mission, all
Squadrons attempt to maintain
several programs:
(a)—Rosters are maintained of
speakers, available to local groups,
interested in learning details of
our national position on air de
fense and civil air operations.
(to’—Civil Air Patrol Information
Officers prepare copy for news
papers and other news media, cov
ering the many facets of the prob
lems of air. power.
(c) —The Civil Air Patrol, to
gether with the U. S. Air Force,
and other aviation groups', spon
sor annual Aviation Workshops at
many universities.' These work
shops present teaching techniques
and material, primarily for those
in the teaching fields, to assist
them in presenting aviation sub
jects and subject matter in schools
throughout the land.
Last year one of the most suc
cessful such workshops in the
country was held at Elmendorf
AFB, sponsored by the Alaskan
Air Command and the Alaska
Wing, CAP. The national CAP/
USAF workshop was held at Mon
tana State College, Missoula,
Mont. In 1960, the national CAP/
USAF workshop will toe held at
the University of Hawaii, under
joint sponsorship by the Hawaii
Wing, CAP, the National Head
quarters CAP, and the USAF.
(d) —Wherever local CAP
squadrons have qualified mem
bers and sufficient local interest,
special workshops are held to
acquaint the general public with
particular aspects of air power
and problems.

Legislator Bard Describes
House-Senate Scramble In
‘Musical Chairs’ Verse
JUNEAU, (/PI — Is House Minor
ity Leader Bi'uce Kendall out to
oust Governor William Egan from
his chair?
Maybe so, says the bard of the
Alaska Legislature. Rep. Jay
Hammond (R-Naknek) came up
with a new poem Wednesday.
It’s called “Musical Chairs” and
goes like this:
“It all started with Robert
Giersdorf
“Got the nod to move down the
hall
“Then Rader with Judge J. Earl
Cooper
“Jumped up to answer the call.
“The Governor sang out the
lyrics
“And tapped his toe to the beat,
“While everyone rushed round
madly
“In. the scramble to find a new
seat.
“McSmith, Orbeck and Bucka
lew
“Hopped nimbly from spot to
spot,
“While Giersdorf clung to a
Senate stool
“Growing ever increasingly hot.
“As the music grows rapid and
frantic,
“Take care, Democrats, and
beware,
“Lest BiU Egan get lost in the
shuffle
“And Bruce Kendall sneak off
with his chair.”
Egan Asks ‘Ice Palace’
Producers To Stage
Alaska Premiere Showing
JUNEAU — Governor Egan
this week urged the producers of
the motion picture “Tee Palace”
to stage the film’s world premiere
in Alaska.
“Such a decision, I feel, would
give due recognition both to
Alaska as the locale of the story
and to the timely contribution
which Edna Ferber’s novel made
to the Statehood cause,” he said
in a letter to Jack Warner, head
of the producing Warner Bros,
studio.
“It is not often that Alaska is
the subject of a novel or motion
picture which has captured the
public’s imagination to the degree
if Ice Palace.
“As such, it is my feeling that
a premiere showing in Alaska
would be of benefit both to the
State and your studio.”
