The Boston Globe from Boston, Massachusetts • 38

The Boston Globe Thursday, December 28, 1967 New Bowdoin Snubs Old Howard 38 By A. S. TLOTKIN Old Howard, that shrine of strip-tease culture, is warmly remembered by naa'ny Bostonians especially those in the middle years. But there is nary a trace of the famous house of burlesque in the photo wall murals decorating the eled Bowdoin Station of the Massachusetts Trans portation Authority. The Old Howard once stood only about 100 yards from the station.

Instead the architects lected eight scenes of Square and vicinity from the 18th and 19th century. All eight of the porcelain enamel murals may not be fixed in place when the dolled-up terminal opens to the public in a few days. The "official" dedication is scheduled for mid-January, Bowdoin will be the third station to be remodeled. The job cost about $300,000 (partly Federally financed) and will include besides new lighting, black tcrrazzo flooring, tiled walls, new benches and trash receptacles a new escalator. The wall murals at the first two stations in the remodeling program, Arlington and Airport, have attracted national attention.

Their themes are almost all contemporary and generally recognizable by patrons. So why was the present ignored, and the past invoked, at Bowdoin? An official of the architectural firm in charge, Sert and Jackson of Cambridge, explained that the wholesale razing of old buildings in the area made an impossibly "chaotic" condition, and the new Government Center struc I 7 fr.m U.S. WEATHER JUtf 41 Some came from Gleason's Pictorial; others from other periodicals of a century or more ago. One was a woodcut done by Paul Revere, and shows a panoramic scene of Boston before 1800. The Bowdoin remodelling lists several "firsts." One is that for the first time columns in the station are covered with tile.

This should improve appearance and make for easier maintenance. Another is the use on the floor of black terrazzo, flecked with white. This, said the architect, provides a strikingly "appropriate" contrast to the reddish gold hue of the glazed bricks facing the walls. The approach to the station also is unusual. The kiosk structure is of exposed concrete, with a slanting overhanging glass roof.

It has a small sunken terrace, faced with red brick. '20 PICTURE FOR AN OPENING Porcelain enamel M.B.T.A. James E. McCormack, superintendent for wall mural, one of eight of 18th and 19 century Boston, contractor, L. H.

DIFFERENT THEMES A partner in Cambridge Seven Associates, the architectural firm which created the overall guidelines for the station modernization, observed that each station was supposed to have a different theme, to offer "visual contrasts, and get a strikingly different feel."

BOSTON TEMPERATVRE CORDELE, Ga Authorities have exhumed the bodies of three members of the family of Mrs. Janie H. Gibbs, a plump brunette whose arrest on a murder charge has shocked this southwest Georgia community. Mrs. Gibbs, who spent her 35th birthday in jail Christmas Day, has been charged with murder in the arsenic poisoning death of her 19-year-old son, Roger Ludean Gibbs.

His death sparked a Georgia Bureau of Investigation probe into the deaths of four other members of the family, all of whom succumbed within the past two years. The arrest of Mrs. Gibbs was a shock to the community because she operated a small nursery and at times cared for more than a score of young children. But the community's greatest shock came Wednesday, when authorities ordered the bodies of her husband and two other sons exhumed from Sunnyside Cemetery. Authorities now are await ing the result of an examination of those bodies.

Seeyour Personal Banker to open a Christmas Sign On Housework Could Spell Trouble WASHINGTON The Agriculture Department, asked to rush in vhre many a husband fears to tread, may attempt to put a dollar value on the home making tasks of housewives. The research project was sucpested at a recent meeting of the department's Advisory Committee on Human Nutrition and Consumer Use. The panel is comprised of national loaders in the nutrition and consumer service fields. Dr. Axel L.

Andersen, tin committee's executive secretary, said the proposed study crows out of some) enmniiitee members' feeling that many working wives actually contribute little to ihe family tollers.
