American Legion
"Back to God" Program
The fourth annual American
Legion “Back to God” simulcast
originated this year from
Grand Central Station in New
York City on Sunday, February
20 and was carried from coast
to coast over the radio and tele
vision networks of the American
Broadcasting Company.
Legionnaire President Dwight
D. Eisenhower was the princi
pal speaker on the American Le
gion- sponsored inter-denomina
r
tional religious program.
The “Back to God” program
was adopted by the American Le
gion by action of its 1951 national
convention in Miami. It has grown
year by year in scope. Religious
leaders throughout the nation
have recognized its powerful
spiritual force. They have ac
claimed it as a significant relig
ious influence in the lives of the
American people.

Airmen Hear of
Rescue Work From
71st Air Rescue Men
Lieutenant T. C. Weaver and
Lieutenant Robert A. Bunker,
members of the 71st Squad, 10th
Air Rescue Group, were guest
speakers at the recent meeting of
the Matanuska Valley Airmens
Association. During their talks the
men brought out little-known
facts about rescue work in the
territory.
“It is of utmost importance,”
Lt. Bunker stated, “that a man
being rescued by a helicopter
tramp out a large landing
space in the snow, if possible.”
The up-drafts of the whirling
blades causes loose snow to fly
up, blotting oi^t all visibility for
! a safe landing”, he pointed out.
Landing the large rescue ships is
[ more difficult than presumed,
members of the Airmens associa
tion learned. As snow is a hazard
in the winter, so is the tundra in
the summer.
Required equipment and per
sonnel in the “whirly birds”
limits the number of passengers 1
that may be picked up at a time, |
the lieutenants pointed out. The j
so-called 10-man helicopter is
capable of picking up but one
person, they said. Regulations re
quire that a pilot, co-pilot, medi-1
cal technician and an engineer
go out on the rescue calls. In ad
dition winterization equipment
takes up considerable space in
the ship.
“If any of you people here to
| night ever have occasion to be
rescued”, the men cautioned,
“above all, remain' calm. Make as
good a camp as possible, prepare
signals of some sort, and put out
ground markers. If a flight plan
has been filed, and followed,
rescue is sure to follow,” they
! pointed out. “If you have crashed
your plane, keep the wreckage
cleared of snow so that it will be
visible from the air.”
The rescue men displayed a
bail-out kit carried by airforce
personnel in flight and recom
mended that all pilots make up
similar kits for survival in the
event of a forced landing. Among

Singspiration Planned
For Sunday Evening
Singspiration services will be!
held at the First Baptist Church j
in Palmer Sunday evening, Febru
ary 27 at 8 p.m. A moving picture,
“The Great Discovery” will be
shown.
All churches in- the Ministerial
Association are cooperating in the
service and a cordial invitation
to attend has been extended to
the public.
the many items included in the
compact kit was a sleeping bag,
(of prime importance the men
stated), signal mirror, flares,
emergency rations, goggles, mat
ches, compass, extra clothing and
a sterno stove.
For winter flying, they said,
tests have shown that items of j
greatest importance to persons in j
a downed craft are suitable cloth
es. “Long-johns”, parka, mitts,
cap, and suitable foot gear are rat
ed as the most important. In
civilian flying, they said, it is a
great temptation to take a short
hop in clothing that would prov$
most unsuitable in the event of an
accident or forced landing dur
ing the winter.
At the airmens’ next regular
meeting CAP personnel will be
present to discuss the Civil Air
Patrol with local airmen.
Dale Clark Nominated
As Candidate for
Scout World Jamboree
Dale Clark, 16, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Clark of Fishhook
Road, has been nominated as a
candidate for the honor of attend
ing the forthcoming Boy Scouts
8th World Jamboree to be held
at Niagara-On-the-Lake, Ontario,
Canada in mid-August. Clark was
notified of his nomination by
Robert F. Bacon, chairman of
camping and activities committee
in the Alaska Council.
The Alaska Council is restricted
to the selection of one Explorer
Scout to represent the entire
Territory of Alaska and the fact
that Clark is one of 18 Explorers
being considered for the honor
is an achievement for which he
has justly earned the congratula
tions of all fellow Scouts and
Scouters, Bacon stated.
Candidates for the honor must
submit a written 300-word essay
on why they would like to attend
the Jamboree. Clark’s essay, along
with his Scouting record, will be
submittfed to the Alaska Council
for final selection.
A student in Palmer High Sch
ool, Dale has earned a total of
30 merit badges, received the rank
of Eagle Scout at King’s Lake
Camp in 1953, has since earned
a bronze palm, and advanced his
first rank in Explorer Scouting.
He is a member of the Scout hon
or society, Order of the Arrow
and a member of Palmer Explor
er Troop 754. The Clark family
moved to the Palmer area over
a year ago from Anchorage. Mr.
Clark is employed by the Alaska
Railroad. Dale has two sisters,
Barbara, 9, and Cheryl, 6, who
are students at the Wasilla School.
The Explorer Scout selected
from Alaska will proceed from
his home to the Missoula, Mon
tana assembly point for August
7, when the Region 11 training
camp will be held. From Missoula
he will go to Chicago where the
Scouts will spend one full day
in a guided tour of the high spots.
From Chicago they will go to
Washington, D. C. where they
will spend cne and one-half days
in a guided tour of the Capitol
city. They will travel from Wash
ington to New York for a two
day stay and will take the famous
boat trip around Manhattan Is
land and then a second guided
tour of the main buildings, parks
and places of New York City it
self. From New York they will go
to Montreal, Canada where they
will see points ^f interest and a
guided tour through the “old”
and “new” Montreal. From Mon
treal they will go to the Jamboree
at Niagara-On-The Lake.
A factor of vital importance to
the youth chosen for the honor
will be the cost for attending. In
addition to the Alaskan’s travel
expenses to and from the meeting
point iin Missoula, an additional
| cost has been set at $426.50 for
| the 22-day adventure. This
I amount pays for train fare, berth
i accommodations, meals Jamboree
Fees, 'Equipment and leadership
fees. The additional cost to the
Explorer Scout will be for uni
forms, personal clothing and
spending money.
A deposit of $40 must be made
I immediately upon selection, on
| March first, with the balance of
! $386.50 to be paid by June 15.
Selection of the Explorer Scout
! who will represent Alaska will
be made on March 1.
