The museum is an example ot the trend of architecture today. .' (UPI) By LEItOY POPE NEW YORK (UPI) - The American architect is overtak ing the artists who draw fan tastic illustrations for the science fiction magazines. He is giving the country a facelifting with startling speed replacing the boxes and rec- tangles we are used to living, working and worshipping in with a poetic assortment of cy linders, domes, cones and pyra mids. The circle and the cylinder have fascinated builders for cen turies, but, except for rotundas and domes, not much could be done with them. Masonry con struction made them look too massive, and the need for total land utilization in our cramped cities made them impractical. But now that we have light, airy building materials and the automobile has enabled, even forced, us to move out to the countryside where everything can be on a spacious scale, the circle and the cylinder at last are coming .architecture, particularly in the dowless one-story office building 1T;I CoAe nf hrw.lr hv A Vnctoin Thp The late Frank Lloyd Wright's presiden : s office is in the dead pile of concentric cylinders that "iter of the circle - those of comprise the Guggenheim Art l" eB vn.c-1uiU Museum on Upper ran Avenue "ul" ": dismayed many New Yorkers Nashville The octagonal of when it was put up a few years fice building of the Southern into their own back. But it was forerunner to many beautiful cylindrical buildings all across the land. A branch of the National Shawmut Bank in staid Boston that looks like a circular labyrinth raised al most as many eyebrows as the Guggenheim Museum but it's generally agreed the building is a small masterpiece. Some other praiseworthy eye openers are: Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio A circular medical office building with a windowless upper cylin der of precast concrete panels sculpted in abstract forms, over hanging a lower cylindrical story faced in colored stone. Harry Wheeler was the archi tect. East Chicago U. S. Reduc. inltion Company's circular, win' Baptist Convention by Hart, Freeland & Roberts. It hasa grilled curtain wall of anodized aluminum, laced witn green stone. St. Louis The new Plane tarium, which looks like a giant spool sitting on end. Philadelphia Ward Park Hospital, one wing of which is cylindrical with glass walls. Nilcs. III. A tall cylindrical office building with alternating stainless steel and glass panels. Done by Belli & Belli of Chi cago for the Golf Mill Shopping Center. The circular amphitheatre is being used in more and more new school and college build ings as trustees, alumni and architects all have revolted against the low box-like flats of brick and glass classrooms stretched end-to-end that make up most of the school construc tion built so hurriedly since World War II. There is vigorous movement to got away from severe func tionalism and to put more aes thetic value into all types of modern architecture to make the new materials serve beauty as well as economy. Opportunity Given The world's fair opening in New York's Flushing Meadows next year is giving architects from all over the world an op portunity to let their imagina tions run riot. But previews indicate the fair buildings will contain few novel ties not already being used by architects to lift the face of America, urban renewal pro grams going on in a score of cities are providing the funds and the inspiration for much of the face-lifting. Office buildings, big stores, public edifices such as court houses and auditoriums and many high rise apartment de velopments are the challenge and opportunity to the archi tects in these rehabilitation pro grams. In addition to the cylinder, there are other innovations. A mosque to serve the 8,000 Mos lems living in Los Angeles will simply be a vast scaled dome of pre-cast concrete in bright colors, surmounted by a cen tral domed tower and minarets. Northwestern National Life Insurance Co. of Minneapolis is putting up an office building designed by Minora Yamasaki that at first blush looks like a classical Greek temple with beautifully landscaped grounds, two pools in front and a spaci ous covered loggia. But the Greeks never could have put up such a building. Its tall pre-stressed concrete pil lars are as light and airy as poplar trees. They surround the building and the loggia in brilliant white. Back in their shadow is a cur tain wall of dark green glass and metal. The whole building is to be of panels of pre-cast, reinforced lightweight concrete.

ABC Hogue Discusses Lumber Industry At Club Meeting Jackson county now has more than 5,000 steady, year-round employes engaged in lumber and forest products industries, with a direct payroll of over $25 mil lion, Russ Hogue, Medford Corp oration official told members of the Southern Oregon Advertising Club when he addressed the or ganization in observance of Na tional Forest Industries Week. This payroll has a direct eco nomic importance of more than $81 million, Hogue said. He also stressed the fact that $3 million per year is brought into the val ley in the receipts of timber sales from U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Manage ment sales, making it possible to operate Jackson County govern ment without any additional monies. Local charities also, Hogue contended, are widely benefit ted by the lumber industry with the forest products industries the greatest contributor to such drives as the United Fund. Forest products industries must have integrated products today to stay in business, Hogue stated. Although the national de mand for lumber is declining, he explained, the plywood demand is increasing approximately 10 per cent a year with produc tion keeping pace with the de mand. National Forest Products Week was launched several years ago by the Hoo-Hoo Club, Hogue said, with all persons en gaged in the lumber field elig ible to membership. The asso ciation was founded in 1910 and numbers 3,000 clubs in the Unit ed States, with 5,000 to 6,000 people attending the annual na tional conventions. The next meeting of the South ern Oregon Advertising Club will be held at the Rogue Valley Country Club at 7 p.m., Wednes day, Oct. 30. Mayor James Dun levy will be the speaker. Membership in the club Is open to any person participating in the buying, producing or sell ing of advertising, it was pointed out at the meeting, and to any student of advertising.
