CAP Mission: Advanced Youth
Education and Training
All cadets who successfully
complete the formal, or Phase II
portion of the youth program, as
outlined last week, receive a
“diploma” in the form of a Cer
tifcate of Proficiency, or COP.
Having reached this stage in the
program, several significant bene
fits derive to the Cadet, who is
then eligible for scholarships and
special actities. Among the oppor
tunities open to Cadet holders of
the COP are — (for boys) special
consideration for entrance into
the U. S. Air Force Academy, a
four-year all-expense education;
enrollment in the 1JSAF Flying
Cadet Corp directly from high
school, eliminating the normal
two-year college requirement; eli
giblity to compete for the several
Col. Byrd scholarships for higher
education; eligibility for advance
rating on enlistment in the U. S.
Air Force; eligibility for selection
to the CAP Cadet Foreign Ex
change program, in which selected
male Cadets spend about three
weeks in one of some 22 foreign
countries who have mutual ex
change of youth.
'For the girls, benefits include:
eligibility for the several Col.
Byrd higher education scholar
ships; selection in the inter-wing
Cadet exchanges, in which girls
from the various CAP Wings
(States) exchange visits of ap
proximately two weeks; eligibility
for selection to the Officer Can
didate School, Women of the Air
Force, where the girl Cadet
wishes to make the Air Force a
career. Other special opportunities
are open to advanced Cadets,
many of them of state or local
nature.
Phase III Training
Additionally, having finished
the formal portion of the pro
gram, the Cadet enters advanced,
or Phase III training, which is
somewhat similar to seminar
study on a university campus.
The Cadet chooses a special field
of interest, and does research on
an adanced phase, individually,
under the general guidance of a
counselor chosen for his special
knowledge in the particular field.
During August of each year, the
annual Cadet Encampment is held
at the nearest Air Force Base.
The Alaska Wing utilize the faci
lities at Elmendorf AFB for their
encampment. A minimum level of
formal training is required for
eligbility for a first encampment.
For additional encampments each
Cadet must have completed the
entire formal phase of training.
The objective of the encampment
is to familiarize the Cadets with
the facilities, organization and
training at an Air Force estab
lishment, and to give them on-the
job type introductory training in
the many job opportunities of the
Air Force, in most cases being
similar to opportunities in civil
aviation, including engine and air
frame mechanics, weather collec
tion and analysis, ground support
activities, flight engineering, etc.
Flight Activities Available
Throughout the entire period of
Cadet membership, opportunities
are made available for the youth
to take part in flight activities,
through orientation flights in
single and multi-engine aircraft.
The flights are all planned to
provide observational training in
the operation of aircraft, utiliza
tion of radio navigation and com
munication aids, navigation, flight
planning, weight and balance
factors affecting loading and op
eration of the craft, and other
technical aspects of aircraft
operations.
The effectiveness and funding
of the training provided for the
youth of the community, through
the program of the Civil Air
Patrol Cadet organization is de
pendent primarily upon the wil
lingness of the adults to give their
technical and special knowledge
and experience by providing su
pervision and instruction, either
as indivduals or as members of
the Senior Civil Air Patrol
Squadron.
Tagged Steelhead Sets
Record for Migration
SEATTLE, UPI — The two-year,
3,000-mile odyssey of a wandering
steelhead was recounted here Fri
day by William Royce, director
of the University of Washington’s
Fisheries Research Institute.
Royce said the fish, released
from the Oregon Game Commis
sion’s Alea Hatchery in April,
1958, migrated as far as the open
sea off Kodiak Island in the Gulf
of Alaska. It was tagged by a uni
versity of Washington crew 75
miles southwest of the island in
Sept., 1958. The steelhead re
turned to the Oregon hatchery
earlier this month.
“We had assumed the steel
head migrated pretty much along
the shores of Washington, British
Columbia and Southeast Alaska,”
Royce said.
“The significance of this record
migration for a steelhead trout
... is that some steelhead are
mingling on the high seas, pos
sibly as far as some of the Japan
ese high seas fisheries. They may
be mingling with salmon from
Japan and Russia, while feeding
and fattening.’’
Royce said the university will
send two tagging vessels to the
Kodiak and Aleutian Island areas
next month to work until Sep
tember.

Alaskan team in a knock-down,
drag-out affair, which will settle
their rivalry for the year, once

tremendous rebounding ability on
offense to aid in retrieving the
missed scoring thrusts of Hardy.

Friday’s Basketball
League Ending Results
ANB Tromps Independents
In the first game of a basket
ball doubleheader Friday night,
the ANB five ran all over the
hapless Independents to a tune
of 69-39. After an even first quar
ter, the Brotherhod boys got
going, anl were never challenged
again, as “Hustlin’ ” Gil Ozenna
led a pulverizng drive that con
tinued until the end of the game.
Others that starred for the ANB
were Jake Titus, Arnie Castel and
Clyde Nershak. High man for the
evening was John Bandy of the
Indies, who scored fairly consis

Kost Singes Hornets
The National Guard five, led
by a red hot Korky Kost, bagged
out a tough 51-40 victory over the
Polar Hornets. Kost, who hit from
all sides, and was continually
stealing the ball, played one of
the great games of his career Fri
day night. The fracas started out
as if it was going to toe a run
away for the defenders, but Tony
Willoya took things in hand, and
proceeded to practically single
handed put the Polar back in the
game, with a scoring splurge in
the second quarter. The half-time
score was 21-18, in favor of the
victors. In the third quarter, the
defenders again ran away from
the Hornets, and built up a lead
which the Green Hornets were
never able to overcome.
This game left the defenders
undefeated in league play, and
the Season’s Champs.
