HAY WORKER IS INJURED IN FALL Warren Parrish, employed in the hay harvest at the Mrs. Helen Gab riel ranch in the Stanfield district, suffered severe injury Wednesday when a casting broke on a carrier of hay which he was riding. He fell some distance and received several broken ribs and various other bruis es. He was taken to the Hermiston General hospital where he is reported as getting along nicely. F. B. AU XILIA R Y TO HAVE SOCIAL WEEK END RAINS ESTABLISH RECORD FOR JULY MONTH SAME PERIOD ALSO MODERATELY COOL Relief in the form of cool, refresh ing rain came over the week end in bountiful portions, sufficient enough to establish a rainfall record for July. A total of 1.10 in. was report ed during the week by Charles Tay lor, local weather observer. Thia to taled with the .06 in. recorded last week brings the total to 1.16 in., the greatest amount for the month of July since 1910 when the present records were begun. In keeping with the wet weather, the month of July brought nothing startling in the way of extreme hot weather, with only two days going over 100. A maximum of 101 was reported on July 1 and 102 on July 11 for the only really warm days. This is somewhat in contrast over last year when several days of 10# and 108 were recorded. The week end rains, however, proved of little benefit to the crops as they have advanced past the grow ing stage except in a few late gar dens. On the other hand, some dam age was done to hay and wheat which was cut at the time. This damage was not as big as at first feared as a dry, hot wind came the first of the week to dry up the cut grain and threshing operations resumed. The weather records for the past week follow: Date Max. Min. July 25 .......................... 83 ... . <1 July 26 ............. ............. 80 ... #0 July 27 ............. ............. 83 ... . 58 July 28 ............. ............. 86 ... #0 July 29 ............. 63 July 30 ............. ............. 83 .... 63 J uly 31 ............. ----- 86 49 HERMISTON KFSC NOW BROADCASTING Horace Smith and Sam Nye of the Farmers Supply Co. of Hermiston created considerable excitement in Hermiston Tuesday when radio lis teners tuned' in on 1500 K. were as tonished to hear music and conversa tion coming in over their radios. The boys had assembled a short wave broadcasting set utilizing a micro phone from an old loudspeaker as the mouthpiece. The music came in fine on several radios about town, especially on Main street. However, something went wrong during the broadcast hour and Familiar Figure Appear» on Street it is feared that something went out E. P.

At the last meeting of the Farm Bureau Auxiliary it was decided to sponsor an ice cream social on Fri day, August 16, at 8:00 p. m. in the Columbia club rooms. Visitors are asked to take the west entrance where there is plenty of parking space. The auxiliary has purchased some new chairs and hopes to invest in more furnishings from the proceeds of the social. A good attendance was present at the last meeting with two guests. The duties of a policeman and wa- termaster are indeed numerous and varied. H. A. Pankow, local water- master, was aroused from a sound sleep early Friday morning when his phone rang. The Umatilla Coopera tive Creamery was having trouble with its water supply. Apparently the water had been shut off for some reason. Upon investigating the trouble, Mr. Pankow discovered that the wa-, ter pipe was frozen »<>li<| from cor,, tact with a PÌPA With l h<< temperature ranging In the 90’g during the week, needless to say Mr. Pankow upheld the tradition of all plumbers to come to the scene of the trouble without the proper equip ment. j However, order was soon restored when the winter thawing apparatus was brought in and the pipe melted out.
