The week-long visit to the base, which is part of the Strategic Air Command, is the first of a number of wonderful, educational 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 direction direc-tion of Major Ed Malm as a supplement to the program of the MIA.

They with groups from other squadrons 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.

Personal Per-sonal cleanliness and self-sufficiency self-sufficiency were emphasized and the cadets learned the importance 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 encampment encamp-ment was climaxed by inspection inspec-tion and pass-in-review after which the cadets were acknowledged acknowl-edged and graduated as guests of the Air Force for one week.
