As Between Highbrow And Lowbrow,
Commentator Prefers The No-Brow.
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

Weather Causes
Haying Troubles
Reedsport farmers are having
varied experiences in trying to
outguess the weather man and
getting their hay in the barns
without damaging it. 1
Those who turned the water off
their meadows earlier than(usual
and thus matured their hay early
managed to get their first cutting
cured and under cover before the
recent rains. 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.
African slaves were first Intro
duced in America in 1619, the

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.
