In the United States they are some of the 36,000 teenage ‘members of the Civil Air Patrol, the civilian right arm of the United States Air Force.

Included in the American delegation were Major General Walter Agee, commander of the Civil Air Patrol and chairman of the planning conference with his staff; Major General Lucas Beau, founder of the ICE; and a three-man team representing the Ex-Cell-O Corp. Since 1948 the IACE had sent abroad cadets of the American C.4.P., the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, while air-minded young men from four continents were touring the United States. ‘Now it was the 10th anniversary of this unique youth movement, and men of good will assembled in the city where democracy was born over 2,500 years ago to formulate a special program in behalf of one of the world’s finest symbols of democracy in action—the International Air Cadet Exchango. A principal feature of the planning conference was the presentation of the Ex-Cell-0 plan. Speaking for the United States delegation, Ralph Charbeneau, director of advertising and public relations of the Pure-Pak Division, announced that Ex-Cell-O in the interests of international peace and goodwill ‘would be willing to produce a half-hour motion picture capturing the highlights of the 10th anniversary celebration of the IACE. Mr. Charbeneau declared further that the film could embrace not only the tour of the United States by some 145 forvign boys, but that it would also include shots of American cadets visiting all 16 countries abroad. Following consideration of the plan by the 16-nation delegation, the plan was unanimously approved. A print of the motion picture is to be presented to every partici- pating country. Furthermore, plans have been made to show the film through the facilities of practically every television station in the free world. ‘The final point of Ex-Cell-O’s proposal was an agree- ment to provide commemorative pins of the 1957 exchange to every participant. It was agreed “Ambassadors with Wings” would be filmed on location in the 16 countries and would become an important part of the 10th anniversary of the International Air Cadet Exchange. i brotherhood.
