XXI ESTACADA, OREGON, THUSDAY, MAY 5, 1927 ________ ____ VICTIM OF CRASH STILL LINGERING Cecil Wright Fights Bravely Bui is Given Slight Hope For Recovery Friday’s Accident Causes Sorrow in Currinsville Death is slowly overtaking Cecil Wright in his fight fo r life at the Sellwood hospital, according to in formation received today from the boy's bedside. Wright, a Currinsville youth six teen years of age, was driving his motorcycle over the top o f the Esta cada hill last Friday, when he was struck by an automobile driven by Helen Perry. It was first thought he had suf fered only a fractured leg bone and other small injuries, but the deadly gangrene had set in, and from then until now it has been a stiff race with death fo r the locol boy. Soon after his arival at the Sell- wood hospital his foot was amputa ted in an effort to stay the poison— later amputation o f the leg was con sidered, but deemed inadvisable as the boy was too weak to stand the operation. FO LLOW ED W RO N G COPY It pays to keep up with the limes. This was brought home to the NEWS when it was found >ut that last year’s copy for the Wade Service Station advertise- mast in the telephone directory was used instead of the up-to-date copy. Not that Mr. Wade was unreasonable about it. Not at all. But before the ink was dr;, on the books and even before the genial service station man had received his copy, ho was asked why he did not havo his phone number in his ad and such impert inent questions. He wondered too, and asked the printers. And the answer is :«at they had no! kept pace with the changes Mr. Wade had made. Readers o f the NEWS will do both Mr. Wade and the printers r favor if they will write in “ phone number 73-2“ in the Wade Service Station advertisement and make note o f the fact that they carry Firestone tires and a complete line o f Valvolina, Quaker State, Parabase, and Greenspot oils.
