Protection of Coast;
District Director Talks
BALLAS Aircraft observers
were honored at the high school
auditorium Friday night wherr ar
my officials of the fourth fighter
command came from Portland to
assist with the ' program.
Ed C. Dunn, chief observer, op
ened the meeting by paying trib-
ute to all those who worked to get
the posts established and also to
the aircraft observers who i have
carried on the work since its be
ginning.
P. M. Schweizer of Monmouth,
district director, I was introduced.
He spoke of the fine cooperation
" he had received from all the ob
servers in his district. Mr. Schwei-
; ler Introduced Lt Harry I. Young
- who spoke at length upon the im
portance of the local listening
. posts. Lt. ; Young stated that there
was nothing better than the indi
" vidual who is listening and look-
. Ing for planes.5 Remove the eyes
. and the ears of the listening posts
and .there would be nothing left.
' He stressed the importance of hav
ing posts manned 24 hours per
J day ' and especially - during bad
, weather, the time so many obser
; vers think' it not necessary. Ac
cording to LL Young the greatest
: problem-here is the protection of
the west coast and it is the air
craft observers who must do the
work, thus relieving many able
bodied men to do the fighting as
every available man who can be
trained Is sent overseas.
Sgt. Lynn Smith assisted with
moving pictures of observation
work as carried on in England and
. Lt. Young demonstrated - how
.flights are recorded on the filter
" board.
