Amarillo, Tex. (U.Pj The whistling winds that pump water for the cattle industry of the Texas Panhandle some day may produce natural music as aesthetic as a Straus waltz. Those same near-constant winds are believed car-able of producing natural plains music or Beethoven sonatas in a gi gantic "wind orrjan." This "wind organ" was plaii ned for the cut-up country of beautiful Palo Duro canyon, 23 miles toutheast of here. The idea of capturing the music of the plains wind was originated several years ago anl developed by Guy A. Carlander, Amarillo architect, until it is now known to t an engineer ing possibility. The wind Instrument would be built in the form of a small memorial dug Into the side of the cliff of the canyon. In the wall, which would be the cliff wall, slender opening would be cut to utilize the winds and drafts of the canyon. Wind would play upon the Instrument for both controlled and uncontrolled sound music. It could furnish power to play recorded pieces or left uncon trolled to produce its own nat ural melody. 'The wind produces, under certain conditions when loosed against proper furniture, sills, reeds and hollow tubes, noises which are interesting, weird fantastic, and at times beauti ful In composition and sound,' the originator said.
