Recruiting Booth
The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, of Reading,PA, held its 21th Anniversary World War II
Weekend, on June 3 5. Two West Virgin-ia Wing members joined with other CivilAir Patrol WW II Living History SquadronMembers from PA, NJ, NY, and the Dis-
trict of Columbia,to inform the show at-tendees of the important role CAP playedduring World War II.
Maj Bart Rogers and Maj Russ Voelker
spent the three day event manning a displaythat recreates two organizations, Reading,PA Courier Station #4 and Rehoboth, DE
Costal Patrol Station.
During WW II, Courier Station #4 assist-ed the military by transporting messages
and much needed supplies as far south asGeorgia. The Rehoboth, Delaware CAPCostal Patrol Station was only one ofmany CAP units where members used their
own light aircraft to fly patrols looking forGerman submarines that were attackingcargo ships. Eventually, CAP Aircraftwere armed with bombs and depth charg-
es.CAP was credited with sinking two
German Subs and scaring off many others.
They also helped to coordinate the rescueefforts of survivors after their ships sunk bythe U-boats. According to the National
Museum of the Civil Air Patrol Some 90CAP aircraft were ditched. Among some 59CAP pilots killed in WWII, 26 were lost at
sea.
According to the organizer of the CAPWW II Living History Squadron, and
Reading Member, TSgt. George Brizek"The WWII weekend, at Spaatz Field, in
Reading, Pa is a great opportunity to tellthe story of CAP".
Col. Leonard Blascovich, CAP NationalHistorian, said " to the best of myknowledge, the CAP WWII Living History
Squadron is the only group of CAP mem-bers re-enacting CAP WWII historyon alarge scale".

Some Tips for Preventing Heat-Related Illness From the CDC
The best defense is prevention. Here are someprevention tips:
Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of
your activity level. Dont wait until youre thirstyto drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limitsthe amount of fluid you drink or has you on waterpills, ask him how much you should drink while
the weather is hot.
Dont drink liquids that contain alcohol or large
amounts of sugarthese actually cause you to losemore body fluid. Also, avoid very cold drinks,because they can cause stomach cramps.
Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-
conditioned place. If your home does not have airconditioning, go to the shopping mall or publiclibraryeven a few hours spent in air conditioningcan help your body stay cooler when you go backinto the heat. Call your local health department tosee if there are any heat-relief shelters in your area.
Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the
temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not pre-vent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower orbath, or moving to an air-conditioned place is amuch better way to cool off.
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting
clothing.
NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle.
Although any one at any time can suffer frheat-related illness, some people are at greater rthan others. Check regularly on:
Infants and young children
People aged 65 or older
People who have a mental illness
Those who are physically ill, especially wiheart disease or high blood pressure.
Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closewatch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat strokeInfants and young children, of course, need much mo
frequent watching.
