Show INDEPENDENT Sugar House, Utah Thursday, June 26, 1958 Page 5 GRANGER By Dorothy Ilendriksen The Granger Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol left Sun-day, June 15, for their sum-me- r encampment at the Moun-tain Home Alrbase in Idaho. The week-lon- g visit to the base, which is part of the Strategic Air Command, is the first of a number of wonderful, educat-ional experiences in store for this group of fine young boys. Organized only three months ego, the Granger Squadron began with 15 boys in the Granger Ward under the direc-tion of Major Ed Malm as a supplement to the program of the MIA. Interest was stim-ulated in two other wards, the Granger 3rd and the Granger 6th, and they also filed charters, making three flights in the squadron. There are nine add-itional men holding positions of leadership within the squad ron. Major Malm, who is a corporation executive pilot out of Salt Lake with 20 years of activity in aviation was appointed Squadron Comman-der from the national level. Of 70 active cadets in the squadron, 30 were able to at-tend the encampment. They with groups from other squad-rons throughout the state, making a total of 178 cadets from Utah, were picked up at Salt Lake Airport by large Air Force refueling tankers and were flown to Idaho. They met at the Mountain Home Air Base with cadets from through-out Idaho and Oregon and heard words of welcome from both the base commander and the chaplin. Encampment training oon-ast- ed of regular Air Fore activities, stressing those things which aid in character build-ing and moral training. Per-sonal cleanliness and self-sufficien-cy were emphasized and the cadets learned the import-ance of supporting the group as part of an organization rather than to think in terms of individuals. Tours were conducted thru all parts of the base, the shops, weather stations, as well as the aircraft themselves, and cadets saw all working parts of the Air Force. Saturday night the encamp-ment was climaxed by inspec-tion and pass-in-revie- w after which the cadets were acknowl-edged and graduated as guests of the Air Force for one week. Transportation home was furn-ished by the Air Force early Sunday morning. We are particularily proud of this group of young people and members of the Air Force working with them stated that it was the finest group of teen-agers they have ever seen. Major Malm explained that the work of the Civil Air Pa-trol is to help the civil and the military portions of our country to work together as a team. His ambitions are "to make an effort to open the doors of aviation for the youth of this country." A former Granger man was named "top pop" of the year in the recent "My Pop's Tops" contest sponsored by Salt Lake Retail Merchants Bureau and the Deseret News.
