The letter from Norman to Felsheim said: House foundation. Miss Clinton outlined what makes a good unit meeting while Mrs. McCornack reviewed the Azalea* House pro The enabling act is Chapter 246, ject to date. The afternoon was devoted to Oregon Laws 1947, which provides in part: “ ‘Section 8. The County Court or board of commissioners of any county in this state may, by a vote of a m ajority of the members thereof, and shall, up on the filin g w ith the county clerk of any such county of a petition therefor signed by not leas than eight per cent of the legal voters o f such county at the next general election held in such oounty the question of whether or not such ‘County Historical Fund” shall be cre ated and the amount of taxes to be annually levied there fo r . . . ’ “ The election laws, OCLA 81- 1308, as amended by Section 11, Chapter 50, Oregon Laws 1945, require the county clerk to make up his ballot not more than 66 Have you heard the days and not less than 60 days before election day, and ‘fo rthw ith about the traveling proceed and cause to be printed' such ballots. saleswoman and the "The general election w ill be held on Nov. 7, 1950. The clerk is required, therefore, to have his ] general ballot completed during the week just passed, and we have ascertained that he has so done. “ The request of this group has been made too late to get the issue before the legal voters at the gen- ] eral election. O rdinarily this d iffic u lty could be obviated by calling a special election on No vember 7th, using the same o ffi cials and printing up a special bal lot. However, you w ill note that the statute restricts the issue to a general election, so the county clerk would be w ithout authority to act upon either a resolution by the county or a proper petition.” • • Not so long ago we started men tioning different lovely flower gardens we saw in our drives and we started something. Friends of different flower growers phone us, stop us on the street, w rite us, to tell about people they know who do * particularly fine job of raising choice flowers. And believe i t or not, we love it, fo r we want to give everyone who makes Co quille beautiful rig h tfu l recogni tion. Two this week are Mrs. Saima Caughell who has done a wonderful job for the flower lov ing fraternity, and Mrs. C lifford Kern who not only raises flowers (and orchids too) but who is so good she is called upon by gar den clubs around the state to serve as a judge of flower shows. • Every year or so Sheriff B ill Dad Howell runs in our legal col umns a list of unclaimed deposits in Coos county banks. These are acocunts that have been inactive fo r seven years, and i f the money is not claimed following publics tian of the notice, it then reverts to the state of Oregon. This week and next week we w ill be publish ing a list of “ unclaimed deposits” from the Coos Bay National Bank o f Marshfield. Maybe a friend of yours has his name listed? • Two groups stand out in the af fection of Frank Hilton, new ad vertising manager of The Sentin el. ’One is the Coos-Curry P i oneer and Historical association o f which he and Mrs. H ilton are among the first members, and the other is the Sixes Grange.
