PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 25, 1937 Father Walsh Hurt In Accidental Fall To Creek Bottom Court Street Bridge Approach Scene; Lay Exposed 40 Minutes Father James J. Walsh, minister of St. Patrick's parish, sustained painful injuries when he fell from the approach to the South Court street bridge several feet to the bot tom of Willow creek about 7 o'clock Monday evening. Striking on sharp rocks, he lay for about forty min utes before his predicament was dis covered by Mrs. Harvey Coxen, liv ing nearby, who obtained assistance and aided in his removal to Heppner hospital for emergency treatment. His left arm was broken near the shoulder, his left upper leg severely bruised and he received a bad wound at the crest of the middle forehead, in addition to shock from exposure. At the point where Father Walsh fell, the concrete abutment of the bridge extends a few feet beyond the wooden span.v Apparently confused in the darkness and rain he stepped off here thinking he was stepping on to the bridge. About four feet below the top of the abutment is a ledge of jagged rock sloping off tow ard the bottom, several feet beyond. Father Walsh must have struck on the upper ledge then rolled on to the bottom where he was found. Father Walsh had taken dinner at the Lucas Place and was on his re turn home alone when the accident happened. The night was dark and rainy, believed to have contributed to the misfortunate step, and add ing to the shock of exposure. The injured man was taken to Pendleton Tuesday by the Phelps ambulance, with Mrs. R. C. Law rence, nurse, in attendance and was placed in St. Anthony's hospital for treatment. Father Walsh is quite elderly, com plicating recovery from the bone in juries, but he has the sincere wishes of the entire community for a speedy recovery. Rites for Mrs. Sharp Here, at Grass Valley Funeral services were held from Phelps Funeral home here at 10:00 o'clock Sunday morning, and from the community hall in Grass Valley that afternoon for Mrs. Frieda Sharp, wife of J. A. Sharp, local baker, who died earlv last Thursday afternoon from a paralytic stroke with which she was stricken the Tuesday eve nine preceding. Friends and ac auaintances joined in paying trib ute here, and at Grass Valley where Mrs. Sham's home was made for manv vears the attendance taxed capacity of the hall. Interment was in the Grass Valley cemetery. Frieda Elise Koepke was born at Kent, Oregon, June 5, 1906. She was married to J. A. Sharp at Tacoma, Wash., June 12, 1926. Mr. and Mrs. Sharp came here in March, 1936, from Gass Valley, taking over the Heppner bakery and operating it since. Besides the husband, she is survived bv her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Koepke: two sisters, Mrs. Olga Olds and Mrs. Erna Pike, and one brother, John Koepke, all of Grass Valley.

Murray: We need, not more creeds, but more Christ; not an enlarged Supreme Court but an increased allegiance to a Supreme God; not a New Deal but the Old Gospel; not a revolution but a re vival; not new political and social plans but the plan of salvation; not more organization but more salva tion; not new leaders but new crea tures in Christ Jesus. The church must get down to Christ's business or go out of business. The Bible was not written to hold men down, but to lift them up; not to restrict maa in sin but set him free from sin. Lost souls are lost because they hold unto everyone and everything but the Loving One Christ. (Selected.) November 26 November 30 Farm Index Skids as Crop Prices Decline With the Oregon index of the gen eral level of farm prices down to 79 per cent of the 1926-1930 average at mid-October, there has been a de cline of 14 points from the peak of last April, according to a review of the agricultural situation and out look just released by the Oregon agricultural extension service. The report shows that Orgon farm prices in general are on an even level with the average of the whole country, but compared with October 1936 the Oregon index is down just five points against seven for the whole country. Chief among the reasons for the crrpat decline mav be listed the o change from a condition of drought made scarcity a year ago, to an abundance of farm crops from this season's favorable growing condi tions. Data in the report show some decline in consumer incomes and purchasing power since September, but the current recession in Indus trial and business activity could scarcely be placed foremost as a fac tor in carrying farm prices sharply downward as early as mid-October this year to a point below mid-Octo ber 1936. Turning to the agricultural out look for Oregon in 1938, the report savs that "cash income for farm fam ily living and for savings may be snmpwhat lower in 1938 than in 1937." Reasons for this expected sit uation are that farm operation ex penses will be slightly higher while total cash income from farm market ings probably will be somewhat lower if the supply of farm products is as large as seems probable and demand is somewhat weaker as predicted by the Bureau of Agri cultural Economics. County agricultural agents have been supplied with copies of the re port for local distribution to all citi zens of Oregon who request it.
