Last week, in this column, it was
stated that the next meeting Of the
Milford Squadron would be held on
April s. This is not correct. Squad
ron meetings are held the 2nd and
4th Tuesdays Of each month; not
every other Tuesday. (See below for
next meeting date.)
Next MEETlNo.
The first meeting Of the local
Squadron, Civil Air Patrol, for the
month Of April will be the second
Tuesday, April 10, 1880 D. M, on the
second floor of the Milford Com
munity Building. See YOU there (0.
SAR-cAP POSTPONED:
The practice SAR-CAP Search
And Rescue Civil Air PatrOl),
scheduled for last Sunday, March
u, was postponed due to the pre-
vailing high winds, which would
have made flying extremely danger
Gus. However, standby for a call;
we may get another alert!
GROUND RESCUE TEAMS:
At the present time, Ground Res
cue Teams are one of the weak
links in the local Squadron mission
program. These are the men who,
being trained in methods of first
aid, map reading, ETC., are standing
by to carry out the final phase of
a search mission. After getting gird
cOOrdinates Of the target (Or wreck
age), these teams speed to the lOca-
tion and administer first aid to the
survivors. Also, they transport the
walking" cases to a hospital. and,
il any remaining survivors cannot
be moved, summon trained per-
sonnel in the field Of medicine to
take care Of them.
Our Squadron needs enough men
(Or Women), to carly out this vital
nhase Of any mission. HOW's about
coming to our meeting on the 18th,
look things over, and decide for
yourself If you could be useful in
our worthwhile organization. WE
NEED YOU! g.!
INTEREST GAINING IN SQUADRON:
Interest at the present time at
the Squadron meetings tends to be
picking up. More members are be-
ing signed up; plans are in the
making for a Squadron Home,
and other activities in the near sfu-
ture win tend to gain interest.
However, as the saying goes, "a
chain is only as strong as its weak
est link, and at the present time
we have a few Of these weak
links. If you see a member of the
SquadrOn-in your work, on the
street-remind him Of the next
meeting. Tell him about our plans
and gain his confidence that he rs
NEEDED-BADLY!
Will you Be THERE?
Hope to see YOU on the 18th Of
April, 1880 p. m, on the Second
Floor Of the Milford Community
Building.
BIOGRAPHICAL QUESTIONABLE:
In a near future meeting, e is
planned to have members fill out a
biographical QUESTIONABLE so that
the Squadron may have on hand a
"run down" Of that information con-
cerning a members civilian, CAP,
and previous service data.
