Training and Social Activities
Sgt. Richard August has been
appointed commandant of the lo
cal CAP Cadets. The Cadets are a
subsidiary of the Civil Air f*atrol,
Nome squadron. The Nome squad
ron is under the command of Phil
ip (Hap) Lancaster.
Assisting Commandant August
is M/Sgt Wally Merrill, who is at
tached to the National Guard.
Merrell’s function in the Cadet’s
program is to teach the members
the responsibility and necessity of
ground and air observation, along
with rescue work. The program
includes air navigation, weather,
aviation, map reading, drill, and
physical training.
Commandant August is endeav
oring to obtain instructors quali
fied to teach each subject men
tioned. In the near future it is
hopeful to have all the necessary
manuals to perform all the classes.
A dance for the Cadets was held
at the Armory Oct. 21. On Sunday,
Oct. 23 a skating party and wiener
roast was held. Both activities
were chaperoned by Sgt. and Mrs.
August.
It is planned to have a dance
for the Cadets every second Sat
urday of the month, to be chaper
oned by a married couple inter
ested in the teenagers. These
dances are designed to give enter
tainment as well as work to the
Cadets.
A bake sale is planned for Nov.
19. The proceeds of this sale and
any of the future money-forming
programs are to be used toward
buying uniforms and insignia for
those members who cannot afford
them.
A parents and community night
is being planned to show the peo
ple of Nome the purpose of the
Cadet program and give them a
complete meeting of the Cadets.
M/Sgt Merrill has done a won
derful job of drilling the Cadets
and believes they will stand up to
the normal standards of the mili
tary. It is the aim of Merrill and
August to make the Nome Cadet
Squadron the best in Alaska in
drill and membership gained and
held at their encampment next
year in Anchorage. It is also an
aim to send a drill team to the
national competition.
At present thei% is a member
ship of 41. Merrill and August
hope to increase this to 75 by next
March. Any boy or girl 14 or over
who wishes to join can do so Nov.
1 at the National Guard Armory.
' They must have their parents’
consent. There are no dues to join.
August states that the aim of
the Cadet program is not to get
the young folks away from their
home but to teach them discipline,
responsibility, promptness and
how to take orders and assist
others. It all sums up the better
way of American living.
