President’« Ball Here to Be Given This Month To Be Issued to Retire Road Warrants^if Voters Approve Clarence A. Barton, who .has been named as general chairman for the •Birthday Ball for the President” in Coquille, states that the hall in which the ball will be given, nor the date has yet been selected. Mr. Roose velt’s birthday is on Jan. 30, but the dance may be held on the 31st. The purpose of the Birthday Ball for the President is to create, through the direct help of the citizens of our country, funds with which to help victims of infantine paralysis and support research efforts to wipe out the disease itself. Infantile paralysis again stalked through the land this year, adding thousands of new victims to the sev eral hundred thousand already crip- pied. The need of continued effort in their behalf is greater than ever, and once more the call is made to American citizens to participate in this humanitarian work, which for the past two yean they have aided so generously and with such out- standing credit to our nation, Mr. Barton has appointed the fol- lowing committees to handle various phases of preparation for the ball: (Continued on Page Three) In adition to the four state meas ures to be voted upon at the special election on January 31, Coos county voters will find on the ballot another measure which, if approved, will re sult in the saving of approximately »7,000 a year to Coos county in in terest charges. . This special Coos measure is a pro posal to retire »376,000 worth of out standing county road warrants by is suing that amount of general obliga tion bonds.

Loreman brought in to the Sentinel office last Saturday a living organism which is the most active thing for its size one can imagine. He called it a “hariadidget,” a single cell animal. It is about seven inches long and the size of a horse hair. It lives in water and Mr. Loreman found it in the pool at the C. W. Ashton place. The head of the animal, if it can be so called, is a sort of serpentine mouth. It breaths and has its exis tence as a result of oscillation and it is never still for an instant when in water. When taken from the bottle and placed under a microscope it lay dormant for the two minutes it was out of its natural element. Mr. Loreman says it is only in re the cent years that the existence of such a worm-like creature was known and ef that there te nothing in natural his tories relating to it. He sent it by air mail to the Smith sonian Institute at Washington for inspection by the experts in charge there. »2.66 1^ FROM FAR EASF r ' Rev. T. R.
