BEAK GRASS 5
WILLIAMSTON 2
Bear Grass strengthened its
hold on first place in the Martin
County League last Friday night
and the Wilhamston Martins, the
real hard-luck team of the loop so
far this season dug deeper into
the cellar as errors accounted for
most of the scoring in the 5-2 de
cision Bear Grass got over the
Martins. Then- was no fault to be
found with the pitching.
Belli\ Peel and Bill Williford
combined to limit the Martins to
three hits while Wallace Warren
and Jack Sullivan held the Bears
to five hits. Except for the first
inning when the Martins got their
two runs and the sixtli and sev
enth during which Bear Grass
won the game, there wore only
goose eggs for the scoreboard and
observers noted it was a good ball
garni1.
J l Rawls and Jodie Peaks got
a double apiece for Bear Grass but
, no hitter on either team got more
than one safety.

Observers' Work
(Continued from Page One)
communities willing to operate a
| weather station Their duties as
i a weather observer include meas
uring the rainfall and snowfall,
and recording the highest and
lowest temperatures. Throughout
the month the weather observer
records his readings carefully and |
at the end of the month he sends
his report to Raleigh. At the pre
sent time there are 176 coopera
tive observers in North Carolina
! reporting to the Weatoei Bureau,
The equipment at 149 of t1-? sta
tions is owned by the Weather
Bureau.
The monthly reports from the
voluntary observers have been
summarized and published in a
series of monthly and annual bul
letins. Many of the long records
have been used in computing
long-time averages. From these
data, for instance, we know the
average January temperatures or
July temperatures, the average
monthly annual precipitation. In
other words, almost all the facts
and figures that define our clima
tology come from the reports of
the voluntary weather observers.
The volunteer weather observ
ers come from all walks of life.
Many of them are farmers or own
small business establishments
and others are employed by muni
cipal and state governments. A
large number in the past and also
today are professional people. In
some families the work is handed
down from father to son yr daugh
ter.
Many people' ask "why should
these people do all of this work
without receiving any monetary
compensation." One cooperative
observer who served continuously
for thirty years had this to say.
"Yes, it is a lot of work and daily
bother, but we like it. After 30
years of the habit, there is a sort
of unexplainable attraction or
fascination about it. Yes, we like
