It's N o t Hard
and
Shorthanded Skywakh Keeps
Constant Vigil For Aircraft
It’s not hard to become a Sky-
w atcher. All it requires is a little
time, norm al sight and hearing.
Coquille’s Skyw atch post is con
sidered one of th e key posts in
th e p erim eter area of th e a ir d e
fense system and as such, is th e
post w hich alerts some 19 other
Skyw atch units in this area.
Even so, m any of the shifts r e
m ain unfilled and the h ard -w o rk
ing supervisor, M rs. M argaret
Holton, spends m any of her free
hours scanning th e skies because
no one else seems to w an t to do it.
Coquille’s Skyw atch post o b
served its second birth d ay last
T hursday (Ju ly 14) by being put
on a regional exercise alert. Thus,
hum an eyes and ears are added to
the ra d a r defense system to m ake
sure th a t no unreported or u n
friendly planes reach ou r nation.
In addition to this valuable
work, the Skyw atch has m ore than
proved its w orth by spotting civ
ilian planes w hich w ere off-course,
on fire or being forced down
som ewhere.
Supplem enting th e w ork of a d
u lt m em bers of the S kyw atch is
the T een-A gers club headed by
P resident Alice C am pbell and aid
ed by the club counsellor, E. C.
Aum iller. T he group has been one
of the m ost active such clubs in
the sta te and it now ran k s about
th ird in activity.
Duties of a person on S kyw atch
include observing, ev aluating and
reporting all planes in this area.
The average shift is only four
hours.
F u rth e r inform ation about the
Skyw atch and its duties m ay be
obtained from anyone of th e u n it’s
officers. They are Mrs. Holton,
supervisor; W. H. P etre, chief ob
server; Mrs. Florence DeNoma,
secretary; Mrs. Ju lin a Colter,
tre a su re r; Mrs. Viola M iller, su p
ply officer, and Mrs. Vi Buckley
and Mrs. B ernadine Phillips, fi
nance officers.

Room A va ila ble In
C ity Parking Lots
Spaces are still available in the
two city parking lots for re n t by
th e m onth. The tw o lots a re on
Main stree t and at T hird an d A l
d e r streets.
Space in th e Main stree t lot
ren ts fo r $7.50 a m onth and in the
Third street lot for $3.00. A ppli
cation for space may be m ade to
H arvey Crim, city recorder.
The m ain idea behind th e es
tablishm ent of th e lots is to p ro
vide a place to p ark for persons
who m ust rem ain dow ntow n m ost
of the day, so th a t they w ill not
take up space at p ark in g meters.
