NEWS-TIMES OFFICE 504 Arendell St. Morehwd City Phone 6-4175 CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES 10c Eight Page* Color Comic* 41st YEAR, NO. 16. TWO SECTIONS SIXTEEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1952 PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAYS Mrs. Marvin Willis, Smyrna, J Spots Fires from Otway Tower t A theme song for her could well be "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Mrs. Marvin Willis of Smyrna, a pert, efficient woman who certain ly doesn't look like the grand mother she is, keeps watch daily from the only Carteret county ra dio-equipped fire tower at Otway. And during February, March, and April smoke is sighted by her keen eyes on a many a day. Sometimes it's merely trash burn ' ing or other times it's a forest fire. But at any sign of smoke she ra dios the county forest ranger, E. M. Foreman, and Foreman in his truck, speeds tt> the spot where the smoke was reported and investi gates. During the early spring Mrs. Willis's hours are from 8:30 to sunset because fires are most like ly to occur in the first few months of the year when farmers are burn ing off fields in preparation for planting. If the weather is ex tremely dry, fire tower watchers go on duty at 8:30 in the morning and stay until released, but if there have been recent rains the duty hours are reduced. On clear days Mrs. Willis has sighted from her 120-foot tower smoke from fires 'way over in | Pamlico county. Spotting fires be comes increasingly difficult as weather closes in or the atmos phere becomes hazy. , When the watcher sees smoke, she takes an azimuth reading and with the aid of a coordinance map, radios Hanger Foreman the loca tion. A log of each radio call is kept and at the end of the month a report sent to the forestry di vision of the State Board of Con servation and Development under whose supervision forestry protec tion is carried out. This is Mrs. Willis's second year on duty at the tower and a more enthusiastic smoke-spotter would be hard to find. Originally from New Jersey, Mrs. Willis says. "Many is the time I have helped fight forest fires at home. If you're driving along the highway and there's a forest fire, state troopers stop the car, you're hand ed a shovel and told to get out and go to work. The only ones who are , permitted to continue on their way are doctors. "It's completely incomprehensi Mrs. Marvin Willis, forest fire spotter, radios County Ranger E. M. Foreman the location of a fire from which she has seen smoke ris ing. She locates the fire by taking an azimuth reading and using the coordination map. ble to me," she continued, "how people can stand by and watch trees go up in flame. Not only the person who owns the trees bene fits from them, we all do. Think what this place would be like if there were no trees. "People drive along roads and highways and see forest fires and don't even bother to report them. It would be so easy merely to call me here at the fire tower, 2-8115, and I could have the forest ranger on the job in a few minutes," she de clared. Notifying the tower does not usually require placing a long dis tance call. It's on the Beaufort exchange. There are four other towers in the same unit as Otway, one at Deppe (town near Belgrade), one at Grantsboro (this tower has a phone but no radio), one at Wil mar near Vanceboro and another at Scranton in Hyde county. Has One Grandson Mrs. Willis has two children, Teddy and Jackie, by a former mar riage. Her son, Teddy Page was graduated from Smyrna high school and is now serving in the Navy. His son will be 2 years old this Oc tober. Jackie Page is in her third year of high school at Smyrna and Mrs. Willis also has another daugh ter, Judy Willis, who is 4. At one time Mrs. Willis was a free-lance photographer and was in : the photography business with her i first husband. Among some of her more memorable moments is the ] shooting of pictures of the Morro Castle, ship which burned and drifted ashore on the Jersey coast in 1934. Climbing the 168 steps to the 6 x 6-foot room at the top of the tower is no longer a trial for Mrs. Willis. At first it was a hard job, "but I don't mind it at all any more," she reports happily. Getting to the top on a windy day is a dangerous matter and if it's too windy, Mrs. Willis doesn't attempt it. Frequently, she says, the tower sways back and forth. Last winter she usually carried her lunch to make only one trip up and down necessary. To while away time she crochets because she says she can do that and watch at the same time. Al though there are a few other women fire-spotters manning tow ers throughout the country, they are somewhat unusual. The jobs are usually held down by men. Right now Mrs. Willis says it would be fine if a relief watcher could be obtained. "There's no one to take over if 1 get sick, but finding someone for this kind of work isn't easy to do."

The sales announcement was made today by the county savings bonds chairman, Victor H. Wickizer, bas ed on the monthly sales report from Allisdn James, state director of U. S. savings bonds in Greens boro. The total figures for North Caro lina's 100 counties were as follows: scries E bonds $4,187,648.00; ser ies F $82,389.00; series G $520,700. 00; totalirife $4,800,737.00 The county chairman said that series E bond sales for January exceeded January sales of last year by $57, 305 in North Carolina. The E bond continues to be a popular invest ment, he said. Wickizer remarked that during a nation-wide school savings drive from Nov. 15 through Jan. 31, North Carolina almost doubled its assigned quota of 75 new school savings program installations. The latest count shows that 145 addi tional North Carolina schools have tied in with the defense effort and are teaching thrift and saving, and students arc permitted to actually practice thrift and saving through the purchase of U. S. defense stamps at the schools. This brings the total installations in North Car olina to 497. In many schools the Parcnt Teacher association, the American Legion auxiliary, and other simi liar organizations sponsor and en courage the school savings pro gram. Dr. Clyde A.

Asks Civic Clubs To Aid Project At a luncheon meeting of the Morehead City golf club yesterday at the Waterfront cafe, President John Morris asked representatives of civic organizations to appoint two members of their clubs to act as a membership solicitation com mittee with the golf group. Those representatives have been invited to the next meeting of the golf club at 4:30 p.m. Monday at the civic center, Morehead City. The fact was stressed yesterday that Morehead City needs a golf course because people from out of town go to other places mainly be cay.se there isn't one here. Morris urged that the membership com mittees proceed with the sale of stock locally. At the present time 50 members are wanted in More head City and there are only 25. The cp?aual4^nvof thp ^in terested it -ejng a golf courat* here was asked. Plans call for the completion of a nine-hole course by mid summer. ' When that is done, work will begin on plans to expand to an 18-hole course. There is much clear land on the Crab Point property under option and only a minimum of bull dozer work will be required, the president explained. The land is located on Newport river. The road running through this property will soon be paved and there will be two means of reach ing the golf course. Morehead res dents will be able to go by way of 20th street as they usually would in order to reach Crab Point, and visitors from out of town will en ter the other end of the road near the intersection of highways 70 and 24. If they follow this road they will come across the course. The way things stand now, the shares in the golf club are $100 but after the course is built new members will be require*! to pay a {ee of $50 in addition. Hotel guests will have the privilege of playing golf by paying greens fees if the hotel buys a share in the course, President Morris said. There is no limit to the number of shares a member may buy. The main problem right now is to buy the land on which the club has a 30-day option. After the course is built, a club house and a yacht harbor will be constructed, according to long-range plans. If 200 members are obtained right away, that will be enough to get started, but more members are wanted, President Morris empha sized. The shares bought now will increase in value later on when the road is paved, he commented. Peo ple interested are urged to drive over the area planned for the course.
