resistor wattage - murf - 12-16-2011

Hi Guy,s
Replacing some resistors on my RCA model 816k radio and have a question about a resistor shown on the schematics.
Its labeled c30 on the schematics.
It is specified as a 320 ohm carbon type resistor,but I am not able to read what the wattage is on my parts list.
Any body know if this one is a 1/4 watt or a 1/2 watt resistor?
THanks,
murf

R30 looks like 820 ohm 1/2-watt to me:

Thanks for the clarification.
Would have been in trouble using a 320 ohm.
