By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. UP) Are you a highbrow or a lowbrow? This Is the biggest question today In the Salons and saloons of Manhattan. Nobody inquires any more whether you're in society's Blue Book. No one except maybe a visiting congressman asks whether you are or ever have been a member of the Communist Party. And who cares now whether you belong to the National Association of Manu facturers or pay dues to the Glass Workers Union? Echo answers: "Not a soul." ' Fie on such matters as politics and where a man lives or now he earns his bread. Is he a lowbrow, a middlebrow or a highbrow? That's the big payoff. The controversy was started aome weeks ago by a light-hearted article in Life Magazine. It classi fied the "brow level" of people by their tastes in food, furniture, clothing, drinks and literature. .Do you like Stravinsky with your meals or a light white wine? That tabs you, Mac. Did you buy a new black pos ture chair for the living room, lady, or did you come home with an overstuffed sofa on your back, you old low-brow, you? Either way, sister, we know what you are. Ya-a-ay, ya-a-ay, ya-a-ay! Highbrow, middlebrow, lowbrow! Why, it's got the whole town going culture crazy. Here In the middle of a heat wave some men would drop dead of sunstroke rather than change from their tweeds into seersucker. Tweeds, dontcha know and you'd bet ter know are a highbrow. Bum? No; He's Gentleman The bartender draws a foamy glass of beer, and whispers, "would you mind taking it in the back room? They say It's a low brow drink and the boss wants Hill and rolled over several times. They were hospitalized here, but all escaped serious injury. The injured were Raymond E. Pemberton, 18, Stayton, the driv er; Mrs. Joyce M. Moore, Los Angeles; Mrs. Dorothy M. Jack son, Tulsa, Okla., and her chil dren: Homer, 8 months; Charles, 2; Ronald, 6; Harold 7; Cecil, 9. to keep this a classy joint." The cop on the beat hauls in a drunk, and the sergeant . says, "throw him in with the other bums." "But this man says he drinks nothing Dut an adequate red wine," protests the cop. "Oh, the sign of a real high brow," says the sergeant. "Show the gentleman to a private cell. By the way, sir, I'm a red wine man myself. Which do you find most adequate to the palate?" Well, boys, this is it. The real class war is on now, the true-blue snobbery based on the altitude of the brow. If a hostess serves you a cole slaw salad, you know she's either a lowbrow herself or thinks you are. A lettuce and tomato salad is only a few I.Q. points higher. And if the old girl, after dinner, suggests the group play gin rum my or bridge don't take this second insult. If you care any thing about social standing, scream at her: "Listen, Biddy, you think we're morons? With us it's canasta, the new Argentine game, or we don't pick up the cards." Decides on Neutrality Personally, however, I'm going to sit out this latest cultural war. The lowbrows will probably lose, because if they start drinking an adequate red wine the highbrows will immediately decide beer is better. For a highbrow can't stand to be In the majority. So I'm going to stay neutral. I'm just a "no-brow" myself, not . . . " . i IJJI. Till nigh, not low, not miuuie. ' - .

In such cases, the rain Usually proved exceptionally welcome, as it not only gave a good start to a second hay crop but also proved ot great benefit to the pasture. However, some were not so fortunate, and In some cases the hay crop was caught out by a second rain and severely damaged. Many local dairymen who de pend largely on ensilage to feed their dairy herds during the late summer and fall have started using grass for ensilage instead of corn. This is a recent innovation started for two reasons. One is that it is not always possible to produce a good corn crop so close to the coast where cool nights are the rule rather than the ex ception. It also allows farmers to use grass that Is raised for hay but proves impossible to cure because of adverse weather condi tions. When used for ensilage, the grass is allowed to cure very little after being mowed before being cut up and put in the silo. Regardless of how far along they were with their haying op erations, all local farmers con tacted agreed that the hail storm last week was absolutely un necessary. A heavy rain was re ported from Ash Valley that night instead of hail, and only a little hail fell in Reedsport, but part of the Smith River neighborhood got a real winter fall of hail.

Historic Virtue Mine Damaged By $50,000 Blaze BAKER, July 7. (JP) Possible actual loss from the fire in the Virtue mine east of Baker was estimated at between $50,000 and $60,000 by Anthony Branden thaler, operator of the mine. Although the fire is smoldering in the mine shaft for its fourth day, Brandenthaler said that earlier reports about possible damage were exaggerated. Accu rate information on the extent of destruction of the mine shaft and equipment will not be available until workmen are able to enter the now smoke-filled tunnel. The Virtue Mine, located ,11 miles east of Baker, has been one of the most prolific producers in this state. In its heyday it is be lieved that the mine produced a hundred and fifty million dollars worth of ore. Production since the 1860s has been steady but not spectacular. Recently the mine company has employed only six full time workers but was intend ing to increase this force for a new operation to get under way soon. The Virtue Mine has been un der lease to Brandenthaler, vice E resident of the Powder River umber Company. Negotiations have been under way recently for selling the mine to a group of Portland investors including Logan and Berretts, architects. About $100,000 worth of new equipment has been installed re cently. The mine, credited with "at one time saving the First National Bank from going broke," covers 400 acres, ail patented. Discovery of the mine came in the early 1860s as goldseekers looked for the legendary Blue Bucket dig gings reported by travelers in this area twenty years earlier. It was named after its founder, James W. Virtue, Baker County pioneer. Sen. Vandenberg Urges Approval Of Atlantic Pact WASHINGTON, July 6. OB Senator Vandenberg of Michigan today asked the Senate to ratify the North Atlantic Pact as a shield for free men against "em battled, greedy communism." He opened the second day of debate on the 12-nation alliance with the double-barreled state ment that (1) communism is the sole threat to world peace and (2) Its final target is the United States. The treaty will be a warning to would-be conquerors, Vanden berg said, that 300,000,000 people will resist aggression. As Republican leader in foreign affairs, he added the weight of his prestige to that of Senator Connally (D.-Tex.) who led off in the debate yesterday. - As VandPnhpror nnlra Qanata leaders saw a good chance to win iinai approval oi tne treaty in less than a week of debate. They were encouraged by a general lack of opposition to the pact and its stated purpose of heading off any attack on the western, non Communist world. A two-thirds vote of approval by the Senate Is needed to bind the U. S. to the treaty. Vandenberg called the treaty "the best available implement to discourage armed aggression and thus to stop another war before it starts." Vandenberg agreed with Con nally that a vote for the treaty will not commit any Senator to vote for the proposed $1,130,000, 000 program to re-arm the pact nations. The treaty would bind the United States, Canada and 10 western European nations into a 20-year alliance pledged to resist aggression on an "all for one, and one for all" standard. am: PLUMBING Ample supply of moterials and equipment enables us to handle complete jobs to advantage.
