‘Electric Eor’ Provides Sootters
With Interesting Variety of Sounds
The aircraft spotting station at
the Community Athletic field, Belle-
fonte, is one of the most comiort-
able and best equipped of any to be
found anywhere. :
A modern fuel oil stove provides
ample warmth in even the most se
vore weather, while the newest de-
vice is an electrical listening outfit
which makes it unnecessary for the
observer to go outdoors to obtain in-
formation on passing planes,
The ¢lectrical “ear” is highly sen-
sitive to all sounds, and the spotter
who finds time heavy on his hands
can while away the hours in an in-
teresting manner by trying to dis-
tinguish the non-military noises
which come over the speaker.
«Bounds which ordinarily would not
b> noticed or which would be over-
jooked as commonplace, are brought
ints the cabin faithfully and cis-’
tinctly by the new apparatus.
A roster of sounds heard during
the four-hour shift from midnight,
Sunday, to 4 a. m. Monday offers
quite conclusive proof that after
midnight these nights, Bellefonte
definitely is in the bag. and by “bag”
we mean the sleeping bag. It's a far
ery from the activity we considered
normal before the younger element
stitercd the armed forces
Here are the civilian sounds heard
during the watch:
12:05. James Marshall's footsteps
in the i22 as he trudged toward home
after serving an 8 to 12 o'clock shift
His footsteps could be beard until
he reached Bishop street—-a con-
giderable distance away
12:08, Train whistle
12:12. Car approaches from the
east and continues on to Bellefonte.
12:18. Rooster crows,
12:24. Unidentified sloshing.
