Student Takes Tour By Bicycle Dwight Stiles, who spent the summer on a bicycle and hitch-hiking tour of the Euro pean continent and the British isles, returned home recently. Young Stiles, who was gradu ated from Southern Oregon college in June, left soon af ter the end of school, flying June 8 from Boston to Shan non, Ireland. In Ireland the student pur chased an English bicycle and set forth on the tour, spending his first days in the British isles, including a week in Lon don. He spent three days at the BrusseFs fair, toured the Netherlands and part of Ger many and other European countries. Finding time going by too fast, young Stiles shipped the bicycle from Zurich back to Ireland, and hitchhiked the remainder of the trip in order to cover the territory he wish ed to see. Most of the nights he spent in youth hostels which are plentiful in Europe. The traveler speaks no for eign languages, and - many amusing incidents resulted from this, particularly during the time he was hitching rides from motorists. , Arriving back in New York, young Stiles rode the bicycle to Washington, D.C. and from there flew to Alamogordo, N.M., where his young "son, Greg, had spent the summer with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Smith.' Mr. Stiles plans to return to col lege in January 10 wont ior his master's degree. Mr. ajid Mrs. Stiles and Greg live at 212 Rose avenue. 7 I - J. ,,.41 -.

Some Beef Prices to Be Lower Corvallis Narrow price spreads between hamburger and choice beef cuts may shrink even more during the next few months, reflecting livestock trends shaping up throughout the' country, re ports W. Y. Fowler, Oregon State college livestock mar keting specialist. 1 Cattle held for additional "finish" with relatively cheap feed this summer will soon be reaching market at consid erably heavier weights than those sold last fall, Fowler says. As a result, fed cattle prices are likely to drop to 1957 levels and remain there until late fall, bringing food buyers their lowest prices this year for choice beef cuts. At the same time, cows and lower grade beef animals that supply most of the hamburg er are being held back from market. Cows and heifers are being kept to build herds for what looks like another good year, Fowler says. This, along with abundant feed, will keep cows and calves high in rela tion to prices of fed cattle, he adds. The'recent decrease in cat tle numbers appears due for a reversal, says the specialist. The recovery in cattle prices during the past 18 months, along with large supplies of grain and forage, seems to have set the stage for another build-up in herds., Beef prices, generally, are likely to hold at present levels for the coming year as herd build-ups get underway. The specialist then looks for the price level to move upward in 1960-61 when the greatest "holding back" of cattle is likely to take place and when slaughter may be the lightest.
