Residents of the Prosper precinct
on the lower Coquille river are pe
titioning the county to have their
polling place .reestablished. Several
years ago, for the sake of conven
ience and economy, residents of the
south side of the Prosper precincts
were placed in the Parkersburg pre-t
cinct and residents of the north side
of the river were put in the Bullards
precinct. Along comes the war with
its gas rationing and changes the
picture. Prosper residents want their
voting place at the Prosper school
house, to which all can walk if neces
sary. They claim there is no saving
since two counting boards are now
employed at Parkersburg, while the
separate precincts will each need
only one board.

ed for the boys now in the service

fund on hand it will be in immediate
position to take advantage ct any
co-operative offers that might be
made by the federal government to
stimulate employment.

The Coos county cannery at the
county farm la reedy to do its part
in the war effort by helping the peo
ple of the county conserve food prod
ucts from their Victory gardens. Su
perintendent F. C. McNelly has or
ganized his part of the program,
which has been approved by the
County Court..
,
The county will furnish the cans
and do the sealing and processing at
six cents per can, either for the No. 2
or No. 2tfc size can. This is consider
ed an extremely low coat But the
county-has the cans on hand and the
county court desires to give the peo
ple the advantage of the cannery at
absolute coot. The taxpayers won’t
be out a cent but they will be able
to conserve food for next winter at a
minimum coot.
Two things should be understood:
There is ho labor available at the
cannery, therefore the products to
be canned must be ready tor the
can; secondly, those having canning
to do must get in touch with Mr.
McNelly at the county farm, either
in person, by phone, or mail, well
in advance of the time for canning
as he must arrange his schedule to
accommodate as many people as pos
sible.

The county budget committtee held
its first meeting Tuesday morning
and it will take several days to com
plete the job. Estimates have been
compiled by heads of the various de
partments of the county government,
which estimates have been made up
into a tentative budget from which
the committee starts its deliberations.
As a matter of policy in connection
with county financing, the three
members of the County Court are
definitely In agreement. First con
sideration is liquidation of the bonded
indebtedness, which means continua
tion of a program adopted several
years ago and which is working out
so satisfactorily that, unless condi
tions change materially, the county
w.'U be debt-free within two or at
least three years. Second considera
tion la the possible building up of a
reserve for post-war employment.
Reconstruction, repair and new con-
structipn projects will have to bo in
augurated after the war because now
such activities are restricted to the
reason, persons who are able to de
vote time to track warts will be con
tributing directly to th* country's
war effort
Since the campaign* to eolist the
services of spare-time workers on
section crews was launched by
Southern Pacific several months ago,
Mr. Pook added, much valuable as
sistance has been received, but the
company has immediate need for
many more trackmen.
Weekend and holiday employment
on the railroad offers local men not
only an opportunity to engage in vital
war work but also to earn ektra
money. Full information regarding
this work may be obtained from the
local agent.
