Artist Promotes US Heroes By Designing Bronze Medals
New York (U.P.)—Twelve years and six bronze medals ago, Felicity Buranelli decided to start promoting colorful American heroes among school children.
Feb. 19 she released her sixth medal, a small bronze likeness of famed aviator Gen. William Mitchell, to coincide with the 15th anniversary of his death.
"We have to give children heroes to emulate. Now more than ever we need to plant seeds of Americanism. And my program is ready," said Miss Buranelli, a shy, smiling woman who has financed her project so far with her own funds.
On the wall of her combined living room and studio hung the original plaster models of her six medals. Around her neck she wore the Amelia Earhart medal, one of the six famous aviation figures she picked for her first hero series.
"I don't intend to pick just great names who are so far from children that youngsters couldn't emulate them," she explained. "I want just good constructive human beings."
So far she has a medal of the Wright brothers; Capt. Edwin Musick, who pioneered in establishing overseas routes for passenger transports; Capt. Frank Hawks, holder of scores of early speed records; Glen Curtiss, pioneer plane builder; Mitchell, and Miss Earhart.
"Somebody suggested I go into outstanding people who have worked for peace as my next series, but I rather favor explorers," Miss Buranelli said. "Next to aviation that is the most colorful field of all for children, unless, of course, you do
baseball players or prize fighters."
basket players or prize nights.
The medals are sold in sets of six to solos or to any organized youth group. The American Legion Auxiliary here awards them to students from the 6th grade through the second year in high school for outstanding essays on the lives of each figure.
A shortage of bronze during the last war forced her to switch to medals made of a special marble dust mixture, and she's fearfully eyeing priority lists now, anticipating another bronze shortage.
"During the last war a school in the Bronx ordered 20 each month to award for different accomplishments, such as improving deportment," the originator said.
"I'll get them made somehow," she added confidently. "There are so many exciting fields to cover. Except I won't touch living personalities."
That restriction, she explained, accounted for Charles Lindberg's absence from aviation heroes.
"A man may be a hero one day and not the next." Miss Buranelli said with a sigh. "I have a plaque all drawn up for General MacArthur too... but who knows...?"
Women Are Winning Places In Field Of Architecture
New York (U.P.)—Frank Lloyd Wright and other famous men in architecture haven't yet been dethroned by the women but the girls are threatening.
Three women getting ahead in a
Three women getting ahead in a field once labeled "For Men Only" are Judith Beth Turner, Ida B. Webster, and Roslyn Lindheim, all members of the New York chapter, American Institute of Architects.
Mrs. Webster has her own office and builds everything from dairy barns to police stations for New York City.
"I also run a 12-room apartment, am bringing up two children and have managed to keep my husband," she added.
A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mrs. Webster commented:
"I decided then and there I could do better with my eyes closed," she laughed.
"I decided to become an architect after watching my father put up a housing project on Long Island.
Mrs. Lindheim, who also has her own office, decided to become an architect while studying at Radcliffe college. She was graduated from the Columbia University School of Architecture.
She has been awarded the Langley Fellowship of the American Institute of Architects, second prize
in a national hospital competition and a traveling fellowship which took her to Israel to study that nation's art of building.
Miss Turner, one of the youngest members of the A.I.A., worked her way through Massachusetts Institute of Technology by modeling sportswear for New England department stores. The shapely 28-year-old brunette is the first woman architect ever assigned to the Navy Department's bureau of ships.
She joined the WAVEs early in World War II and was assigned to the bureau, where she helped design destroyers and aircraft carriers.
Miss Turner said, "working on a ship is just like working on a building, except the ship floats."
She helped design the Franklin D Roosevelt, the world's largest aircraft carrier. When she was discharged from the Navy as a lieutenant, she was given a special citation
She currently is with the firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill where she is helping design a new office building in Dearborn, Mich., for the Ford Motor company.
