It will be more than flying jets though. The commanding of ficer will have a station on the peak so he can talk to the fly ers and their conversation will be broadcast to the crowd assembled for the Shriners'. annual benefit outing to . raise funds for- the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children. ' The Rev. Mathew Simpson of Portland will give the invocation at the Trek at 11:45 a.m. before activities begin. Johnny Carpen ter, Portland radio announcer, will be master of ceremonies.

Economist Elvera Horreu sam prices received for farm products dropped 2 per cent in the month ended July 15. This dropped Ore gon farm prices to the lowest level in nine years. Prices are 3 per cent below a year ago. At tne same time, cost oi living items remained steady with scat tered increases. Lower values placed on hogs, potatoes, cattle, wheat, apples and watermelon caused the drop. Horrell said. Crop and livestock prices have slipped about equally, with oil- beating crops taking most of the grain decrease and hog and sheep growers bearing the brunt of the livestock drop. 1 Potatoes and oats, with respec tive drops of 50 and 23 per cent were the most notable since July 1954. In Portland, the U.S. Depart pent of Agriculture said the seed and .gram harvest was hindered by last week's cool and showery weather. However, the change helped fill out spring gram. ! The carrying capacity of sum mer ranges is expected to be pro longed by late rams and thunder showers, and Eastern Oregon farmers generally were helped by the same rain. .

Bing Denies Romance9, Retirement HAYDEN LAKE, Idaho (fl -Crooner Bing Crosby sat in his new cottage at Hayden Lake Thursday and replied to questions on retire ment and romance with a polite -nope." Crosby declined to comment on anything more serious than his an nual vacation in the Northwest but did dispose of rumors that he would retire. He' says he is going back to Hollywood to study scripts of "Our Town" and the "Rainmaker" and look over a couple of tele vesion shows that are in the offing. The romance question, which came as a natural since a 21-year old actress publicly announced re cently that she and Bing were en gaged, drew his laconic "Nope." With Bing is his son Lindsay, 17, who is in last year at Loyola Prep School ia Los Angeles. TV, radio and movies are stiV off a little in the distance. This is Bing's vacation, and golf, he admits, will take up most of the Crosby vacation. IDEAL SOLUTION BUFFALO, N. Y.
