One of the most spectacular Is a Chevrolet passenger car sliced Air Force Academy Tour Impressed C Of C Chief Editor's note: This is the sec end installment of a report on a tour by Klamath Falls business and civic leaders of Air Force installations 'in Colorado Springs and the, McDonnell Aircraft Cor poration plant in St. Louis. The preceding article concerned oper ations at Air Defense Command headquarters. By R. FRANK TUCKER Manager, Klamath County Chamber of Commerce ; Needless to say, when we wan dered out of two briefing sessions at Colorado Springs, plus the ac tual "participation" in the Com- bat Operations Center of a mock attack, we were staggered by the magnitude of what we had seen. To have observed yes. To have been able to comprehend and as- . similate only partially. Our next step was a visit to the United States Air Force Academy. .-- Twenty miles north of the city of Colorado Springs, under the es carpment of the Rampart Range, is the permanent home of the aca demy. Authorization of this instal lation was made possible by an Act of Congress in 1954. Obviously, many areas around the country ,were attempting to locate this rtagnlficent institution in their own locale., ..... Alter caretut screening, tne sec retary of the Air Force made the final decision. Having tramped up and down these United States, it is my opinion that no better site se lection could have been made With a military reservation of nearly 18.000 acres, the timeless architecture for the cadet struc tures and support buildings nestles into the five rolling valleys. Sixty miles of paved roads take the visi tor to these many units which com prise the whole of the academy. An articulate Air Force captain by the name c' Poulton gave us a memorable iour. He explained that the academy's mission is to pro vide instruction, experience, and motivation to each cadet so he will graduate with the qualities of leadership and the knowledge re quired of an officer in (he United States Air Force, and with a basis for continued development through out a lifetime of service to his country, leading to readiness for responsibilities as a future a i r commander. As we toured through the campus grounds and then the buildings, we mentally placed ourselves in the varying stages as a cadet pro gresses through his four years a four-year program of general ed ucation and military airmanship. The discipline, the comradeship, the heartaches, the joys, the never-deviating vision of successful completion of a course jf study AiOt exceeded by any college or uni versitythese are but a few of the reactions we felt on this trip. A dining hall 276 feet square inside . . , enough to seat 3,000 cadets at one time. Feed them all and have them on their way in just 40 min utes! This hall without one sup port pillar inside! The cadet quarters where two men sleep and study. The plane tarium, the gymnasium and where the new chapel is to be erected all these we inspected in awe. Speaking of the chapel brings back the statement made by the tour of ficer. "Each cadet is required to attend the church service of his choice each Sunday during his four years at the academy!" Someone asked, "How do the ca dets get about?" The answer was simple of course. No cadet may have a car Until his last three' weeks as a first classman (senior).

(One thing we found out. the husps haven't changed a hit since our stint in the military!) What does the cadet have in the way of a course of study? If he were taking engineering, 75 per cent of his curricula would be in science and math. If he were taking liberal arts the percentage would be in favor of the humani ties. At the academy his academic curriculum is nearly equally di vided between scientific stniHiec land social sciences humanities. During his four years, he accum ulates 64 semester hours of scien tific studies; 65 hours of social sciences and 12 hours of air manship studies. In the scientific, he has 16 semester hours of math: four -of charts, maps and draw ings: ix of chemistry; nine of physics; six of statics, rivnamire and mechanics of materials; nine of electrical engineerine: six each of aerodynamics and thermodynam ics ana two ot design appreciation. In the social sciences he has 16 semester hours of English; two and one half hours of lntritv Iwn and one half hours of geography; nve nours ot psychology; six hours of history of world civilization; five hours of U.S. historv: two hntlrc of U.S. government; four hours on various phases of economics; two hours on national civwitv. four hours on foreign governments ana international relations; three hours on law; three hours on mil itary history arid 10 hours on for eign language. Pretty well balanced aon t you agree. Sma c asses inn About twelve to the teacher. If the cadet feels for one reason or another he hasn t aatherert alt he should have during one day's lecture, the professor is on tape for evening tutoring! Actually, the whole course of study durinu four years mignt be considered one of tutoring. What about the qualifications nf the faculty? Faculty have been selected from among teguiar ana reserve Air Force of ficers on active duty. The faculty averages five years' mllcoo imoi teacning experience at civilian in. suiutions or at the United States Military and Naval academics! unce through this nhvsiral nlant a person stands in reverance of wnat our government is doing for ils future leaders, tn th .. of Harmon Hall, where the super- menaeni maintains his offices, is a very impressive plaaue.

As we departed from these grounds, the thought came to my mind that our government hat been justified in every penny it nas expenaea or will expend on this functional institution. From here and the other military aca demies Will come the leadprshin of America. Whether or not the graduate chooses a lifetime of mil. itary duty or pursuit of a civilian vocation once his mi itarv nhlii-a. tions are fulfilled,- these men will have been traineo in the finest schools of leadership training on the face of the earth.

KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE In the seven "short weeks I have been associated with the Klamath Chamber of Commerce, a number of confreres and ac quaintances from my days as a newsman have asked me. "Just what docs a chamber of com merce do?" While the question was sometimes asked as a cood- natured rib, it often was pooed in good (aith and in all seriousness. And it started me thinking that if just a few reasonably intelligent acquaintances of mine don't un derstand the operation of a chain- ber of commerce, chances are a lot of people don't. land the cattle industry: spear- The trouble is. accurately dctin-' headina a sui(1y o( alSi,e condi Mting the chamber', activities I t,ons ,n l'pp1er Kla",al Lake: isn't easv.

The chamber's most conspicuous success story in this last regard, ot course, saw its culmination this week in the official opening of the 12,000.000 dollar Johns-Manville insulation board plant north of Klamath Falls. Not that there weren't others who were Instru mental in the plant's location here . . . notably among them the Her ald and News editor and publish er, Frank Jenkins, who waged a personal 25-ycar campaign lo find a feasible commercial use for this area's plentiful "weed tree" the lodgcpole pine. Jenkins' contribution was pub licly acknowledged at the open ing ceremonies last Tuesday. Pub lic recognition also was given the chamber of commerce at a Mon day evening press conference when A. R.
