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. 11357,421.1? >00,534.35 7,516.82 i 187/492.60 None • 104,57031 296423,937.52* $31139147947 I •i FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PORTLAND Merchants of Credit MAIN BRANCH, Sth, Sth and Stark M BRANCH and Merrisea ROSE CITY BRANCH 4200 N.E.

Coos county, with its new mineral 1 , S omething to T alk A bout ! 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.
