SQUADRON NOW HAS
TWO STUDY UNITS
The Palmer C.A.P. Cadet
Squadron has increased by eight
members. These new Cadets are
now going through Phase One
study which covers general in
formation regarding Civil Air Pa
trol, learning proper drill, and
military courtesy. At the comple
tion of this study phase the ca
dets will be required to pass tests
and will then go into the first of
six study books.
New cadets include: Ken Tay
lor, Pat Eppler, Mike Eppler,
Zorra Coffee, Fred Barnes, Joe
Hamon, Carmel Lee Mohan, and
Bill Pippel. Ron McIntyre, re
tired U. S. Army colonel, is in
structing this group in studies
and in drill sessions.
The “senior” group of Cadets,
consisting of Phoebe Martin,
Pholia Liebing, Roger Vidmar,
Duane Anderson, Carolyn Nelson,
and Craig Trowbridge, are now in
their third study book, “Power
for Aircraft.” Major Mason La
Zelle, Senior Civil Air Patrol, is
commander.
All valley youths, 14 years of
age, or in their first year of high
school, are eligible for enrollment
in the C.A.P. Cadet program. In
terested young men and women
are invited to attend a meeting.
Meetings are held each Tuesday
in the high school cafeteria, start
ing at 7:30 and continuing until
9:30 p.m. The first hour of the
session is devoted to military drill
and the last hour to study and
discussion work.
ALASKA LEADS PACIFIC
COAST IN POPULATION
INCREASE FOR 1950
Provisional estimates by the
Census Bureau of 1958 civilian
population of Alaska increased
the total to 167,000 54.0 percent
over the 1950 figure, according
to William H. Flood, manager.
Seattle Field Office of the U. S.
Department of Commerce. Be
cause of the highly seasonal pat
tern of migration to and from Al
aska, with midsummer peak and
winter low, the estimate for Al
aska reflects average population
rather than midsummer peak
copulation.
State of Washington civilian
population increased to an esti
mated 2,706,000 by July 1, 1958—
16.8 percent over 1950 popula
tion. California population in
creased 34.7 percent; Oregon, 16.5
percent; Idaho 11.3. Greatest per
YOU AND YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY
“How do you expect me to live
■m that?” This is the question of
ten asked the folks at the social
security office when a claimant
is told what to expect in the form.
i>f monthly benefit checks.
Eve re 11 C. Cummins, manager
of the Juneau social security dis
trict office reminds us that the
social security benefits were
never intended to furnish all of
a person’s income when he re
tires. However, these insurance
checks form a foundation upon
which to build a retirement
structure. A working person
should strive to build additional
protection by means of private
effort and individual thrift. Cum
mins states that surveys conduct
ed by his bureau show that three
out of four social security bene
ficiaries have other income. There
are some twelve million persons
now drawing $650 million month
ly in social security benefits, but
only 25 percent of the aged bene
ficiaries depend on their social
security benefits alone.
In planning for retirement, and
the security of your family inf
case of death or disability, an
estimate of probable amounts of
social security benefits payable
to you and to your family is nec
essary.
Cummins, says this office will,
be glad to cooperate by estimat
ing the amotmt of social security
a person may expect when he
retires. He has a motto that ad
vises prospective retirees—“in
quire before you retire.”

social security contact your social
security representative, Box 1331„
