    Membership retention, both senior and cadet, is on the upswing, and wefeel this Is indicative of on increase in esprit de corps. Our major deficient atthis point is the safety program. We hove a new Wing safety officer and he wi IIsoon be implementing his program. We hope each unit commander will appoint asafety oFFicer and form a unit safety pion.

    With increased interest by members in the progrom. we have encounteredsome problems by actions token out or channels. Although we know they meanwell, difficulties OCClJrbecause members don't know the oyerall program. Bysquadrons sending their questions or comments to groups, answers mey be reodi Iyavailable. If the group feel correspondence to Wing is in order, such referralis encouraged. Remember, roo, that letters and radio traHic between units S ouldcorry infoflTlOion copies to group an orea ommands concerned, so hat veryoneremains lnformed. If am m r feels he Is r celving insufficient assistance 0 terrollowlng e proper channels, he mey lri eo leller to the edito 0 Bear Facts.

    The 1970 California Wing Conference may well be the I st of its kind foro few years. ext year we plan to hold 0 strictly social event. In lis place, wewi II have four or five seminars throughout the yeor and held in various sections ofthe stote. All Wing storr sections will be represented and everyone wi!' e invit-ed to attend a Full-doy workshop session.

    We will be colling on the field for more activiti as of all types. All unitswill soon receive some material on the new Civil Defense/Natural Disaster agree-ment. Coming soon will also be a schedule for 1971 SARschools, to help increaseour capability in thh. area. Unfortunately, the burden has been falling on onlya sm II number of rated emergency services personnel who participate in missions.Those personnel who hold ES cords should remember hot they are accepting a re-sponsibility and must participate in missions. We are concerned about why someunits ore r iline to meet rhese obligations, even thou h they have a n mber ofrated p nonnel on the ros er. If you are not goil)9 to participate, don', requesta cord; it is not 0 status symbol.

    The Colifomia Wing has accepted he responsibility for nooncing the funerolexpenses for Jon romer, who was killed while flying on a search mission. Wewould like each senior to assess himself ~I and each codet 25~ to help us in thisprcject , If we r ceive more thon is needed, we will earmark tf,e surplus 10 beused for 0 simi lor occosion. We hope this never hoppends, hit we 0 1 1 knowsearching is dangerous. Send your contributions, poyable to Califomio Wing,to my a ttention a th Wing's address.

    Considerable comment has been mode on the General Aviati n categorymembership. I is this command's policy that GA members must meet the sametraining requirements as regular CAP members and they must have on ES cord 0participate in seor ch missions. For GA members who wish to transfer to regularmembership, they must folio", the same procedures as any new member, exceptthat they do nor poy Notional dues; wing and unit dues are still required.
