VOL 56; NO. 36
Formation Volunteer
Aviation Corps
Is Announced
Formation of a young people’s
volunteer aviation corps, to be
known as the civil air patrol
cadets, was announced today by
James M. Landis, director of the
office of civilian defense: The or
ganization will parallel that of the
senior civil air patrol.
With an active wing command
in each of. the 48 states, the CAP
acts both as an aerial home guard
and as a reservoir for the recruit
ment and training of civilian vol
unteers to be assigned to active
missions such as the anti-subma
rine patrol. Thousands of trained
and disciplined airmen also have
gone from the patrol into the
armed forces, the ferrying com
mand, the aviation schools, and the
aircraft industry, better prepared
for wartime duties by reasons of
their CAP experience.
The purpose of tne CAPC is to
extend the same opportunity for
training, under the guidance of
seasoned airmen, to younger age
level. Membership in the cadets
will be limited to native-born stu
dents in the last or next to the last
year of senior high school. These
young civilian volunteers will not
be assigned to flying duties, but on
completion of their cadet training
and graduation from high school
they will be eligible for full mem
bership in the patrol, where 18 is
the minimum age for Hying as
signments.
“There will be a father and son
relationship between CAP and its
junior corps,” Director Landis ex
plained. “Each member of the pa
trol will be permitted to sponsor
one young man—the boy of his
acquaintance most likely to suc
ceed in aviation. The CAP mem
ber will be personally responsible
for helping his recruit make good.
Likewise a woman member of the
patrol, which enlists the women
fliers on an equal status with the
men, may sponsor one girl in the
CAPC.”
Present membership in CAP,
composed mainly of pilots and
student pilots, is now just over 60.-
000. Thus the initial membership
in CAPC will not be more than this
figure.
The number of local units at
present will be held within the
number of active CAP units in the
United States, totaling upwards o,
1,000. A typical local CAP set-up is
a squadron command with subor
dinate flights at the outlying air
s ports. Each squadron has its own
staff including a commanding of
ficer, executive officer, intelligence
officer, training officer and com
munications officer. Each CAP
unit is now authorized to sponsor
a counterpart unit of CAPC with
Its own officers and specialized
personnel.
Ground training will be the same
as for the senior patrol. The cadets
will learn navigation, meteorology,
radio and other aviation subjects.
Emphasis is placed also on mili
tary drill, courtesy and discipline,
together with such defense sub
jects as first aid, gas protection,
and code signaling. Thus the young
men who go directly into the armed
forces after this experience will
have a head start in any service
to which they are assigned. Those
who carry on into CAP will be
ready to take their places in the
local squadrons and train further
for active patrol duty.
Whether the cadets will attend
the same drills and classes as the
adults or will meet separately is
left for the local CAP units to de
cide. Special programs will be ar
ranged for the cadets. Insofar as
posible, activities will be centered
around the airports so the young
people will quickly get the feel of
aviation. >
“Civil air patrol was originally
planned to accomplish in the
American way what Russia. Ger
many and Italy did in the building
of air power through mass move
ments which carried young people
step by step into aviation,” Direc
tor Landis said. “When CAP was
founded, just before Pearl Harbor,
it was feasible to undertake only
the organization of the civil air
men and their equipment. CAP
was announced as a first step in
mobilizing the civilian sine ol air
power. The senior phase is now
so far advanced in every state that
a second step is now taken, in the
CAP cadet program.”
Ground training of civil air pa
trol cadets in Georgia will be un
« der the supervision of commanders
of civil air patrol units throughout
the- state. ,

any Chattooga Public Library

Also ask yourselves, if you owe
any overdues. If so, bring it to us.
We need new books and these fines
would help us buy new ones.
We will soon have a splendid dis
play of the pictures of our soldier
boys of Chattanooga county. I
thank those mothers, fathers, ,
brothers, sisters and sweethearts
who have brought us some such
nice ones.
We have a beautiful world

Nitrogen Supply
Limited Because
Os Many War Uses ,
Pointing out that 120 pounds of ,
nitrogen—equal to 750 pounds of
nitrate of soda—are released into
be air every time a 16-inch gun j
is fired, L. I. Skinner, assistant di
rector of the Georgia agricultural
extension service, this week urged
r armers to grow their own nitro- (
gen.
“Nitrogen is plentiful,” Skmner
said, “with 34 500 tons of it in the;
air above every acre of soil, and
we must take advantage of legumes
to obtain it for crops because nat
ural nitrates cannot be obtained
due to shipping difficulties.”
He pointed out that it normally
requires about 300 ships—ships
that have been sunk —to bring our
natural supply to us, and with mu
nition industries using large
amounts of nitrogen, farmers must
grow their own supply.
“It is patriotic as well as eco
nomical to grow nitrogen,’ Skin
ner declared in urging farmers ter
leave all commercial nitrates for
use in the war.
“We would return to battle axes
and catapults in war if nitrogen
were not available,” he continued.
“A 600-pound bomb uses 85 pounds
of nitrogen; a 24-foot torpedo uses
about 100 pounds.”

2 Chattooga Boys
In Naval Training at
Great Lakes Station
GREAT LAKES. HL—Two more
sons of Summerville, Ga., who
joined the navy to defeat the axis,
are learning the primary requisites
of a good sailor at the U. S. naval
training station here. They re
ported for recruit training last
week prior to being assigned berths
with the U. S. fleet.
In recruit training the men are
taught the fundamentals of mili
tary drill, seamanship and naval
procedure. They are physically
hardened through participation in
the navy’s vigorous physical tough
ening program.
Upon completion of their recruit
training they will be eligible for a
nine-day leave, unless they are se
lected for advanced training at one
of the navy’s man service schools,
in which case they will be given a
six-day leave.
The new bluejackets are William
H. Pettyjohn, 21, son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. M. Pettyjohn, Route 2, and
John H. Murphy, 20, son of Mr.
and Mrs. D. D. Murphy, Route 2.
U. S. Marines
Grateful to Citizens
In Recent Drive
The United States marine corps,
Rome, Ga., wishes to thank the
many citizens of Chattooga county
for their splendid co-operation in
the recent recruit drive.
The marine corps was furnished
with a tent and lights on the
grounds of the county fair near
the entrance. This was made pos
sible by the fair association.
Mr. O. P. Lawson, president of
the Chattooga county fair associa
tion, co-operated in every possible
way and we appreciate this to the
fullest extent.
Rev. Herbert Morgan being a
World War I veteran and under
standing the necessity of recruits,
was also helpful in the drive. Dur
ing the last World War Rev. Mor
gan saw the marines in action. He
states that they are the greatest
fighting force in the world.
Sergt. James Doris and Sergt.
Alex W. Bealer 111, were in charge
of the recruiting while in Summer
ville. They are two examples of
what the U. S. marines stand for;
fine physical condition, due to
proper training that only the ma
rines can offer; their character is
of the highest peak, and they have
stood rigid mental examinations.
The U. S. marine corps is un
doubtedly the best trained, best
fed and best dressed outfit in the
world. The United States is pro
foundly proud of these men that
offer their lives in order that we
might live in freedom.
We again wish to express our
gratitude to the citizens of Chat
tooga county for their loyal and
most helpful services.
