CAP Needed In Kodiak
Disaster has struck with an un
relenting hand families in the Ko
diak area this past year and in pre
vious years. Boat accidents have
taken the largest toll of lives, this
despite the great amount of flying
done here.
One particularly outstanding ac
cident that has happened serves to
emphasize the need for a system of
patrol or an organization equipped
and ready to search and rescue on
a moments notice. The accident
we refer to is the loss of the “Kan
aga” with four men aboard. The
time factor looms largely in-effect
ing a rescue or even spotting it be
fore it happens. There is a remote
possibility that lives could have
been saved with a search instituted
earlier.
We have watched with consider
able interest the operation of one
such organization, which has been
instrumental in rescue and the sav
ing of lives in airplane accidents
and land diasters in Alaska. We re
fer to the Alaska Wing of the
Civil Air Patrol. Last year the Ci
vil Air Patrol participated in seven
search and rescue missions. In one
mission one plane of the patrol
was flown for 37% hours in con
ducting a' successful search. The
patrol in Southeastern has just
purchased a new TA 18 Super Pi
per Cub from the Air Force which
it will use on search missions and
in the training of cadets. It is a
purely volunteer organization, but
the effectiveness and usefulness of
the CAP is beyond question.
Activities here in Kodiak, be
yond that of walking or driving a
car, are hazardous. The rugged
coastline, the winds and stormy
weather that appears often without
warning, makes every boat trip a
venture. The same is true for fly
ing. Every precaution should be
taken before a trip is made. Also,
every precaution should be taken
to effect rescues and render aid in
case of accident. A Kodiak wing of
CAP is the answer. With all due
respect to the Coast Guard and
the Patrol Squadron of the Naval
Station, who have rendered great
service to the community, a civili
an wing of CAP here in Kodiak
would train cadets, purchase equip
ment and have ready at all times
planes, first aid material and men
ready to effect rescues on a mo
ments notice. One group, organized
for that purpose, and that alone,
could be more effective. They
would immediately take charge, an
important point in the saving of
time. As we said earlier, time is of
the essence. Rescues could then be
coordinated, with promptness and
dispatch.
How would the funds be found
for this work? By popular subscrip
tion, and by fund raising events,
etc., as they have been done in
other communities. The vital need
is here. We have many capable
flyers here, who would join in such
an organization, for who can tell,
any one of them might be on the
receiving end of a rescue mission.
The need is here. It remains for
someone to make CAP a reality
for Kodiak.

grams of the two agencies. Copies
