Air Force Gets Assurance
They Will Play Major Role
In Manned-Space Flights
WASHINGTON UD — The Air
Force got definite assurance yes
terday of an important role in
the manned-space flight program.
A written agreement between
the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration and the Defense
Department was announced in con
nection with the Gemini program,
which aims at a series of flights
of orbiting vehicles with two-man
crews.
Officials told newsmen that un
der the agreement, Air Force pilots
will participate in some of these
flights.
The Air Force and NASA had
been at odds on some features of
the main-in-space program. But
yesterday’s announcement empha
sized new cooperation in meeting
the requirements of both civilian
and military scientists and in eli
minating duplication of efforts.
Has the weather been to humid
for you lately? You can always get
relief by going to Wadi Haifa in
the Sudan in Africa. Hasn’t rained
there in 19 years.

Scouting Program
Broadcast Over KICY
An ambitious program to organ
ize the whole of northern Alaska
into Scouting Districts began re
cently. This activity will start in
earnest as a result of the formation
of the new Midnight Sun Council
two years ago, and response to the
many requests from scattered vil
lages to extend Scouting to some
600 boys.
A letter was sent to all the vil
lage councils to make a “man
fact” survey. Existing and future
units will be developed on the
strength and interest of the adult
leaders of each locality
A special program will be initi
ated by mail. This will be added to
by a series of visits to the villages
by lay leaders from all walks of
life—people who will have occa
sion to visit the scattered villages
in their own line of work.
Perhaps the most interesting step
in the program will be “The Scout
Master of the Air.” This man began
his broadcasts over KICY radio at
5:00 p.m on Tuesday and will con
tinue on each following Tuesday
at the same time. He will train and
direct Scouts and Scouters by
radio, acting as Scoutmaster to all
the rural units, which each indi
vidual scattered village will have
its own assistant Scoutmasters and
committee to direct the boys on
the spot.
Should all these diversified
methods of bringing Scouting to
Arctic villages prove successful,
then a final step will be instituted.
