Astronauts' Homes Differ From the Average .C 11 Traffic Signs 'Star in East' Something as commonplace as a traffic sign could mean the difference between a joy ous Christmas with loved ones or a pain-wracked holiday in a hospital bed. With Christmas falling on Tuesday, many businesses will be closed Monday so em ployees can enjoy a four-day holiday. Hundreds of thou sands will go by auto to visit relatives and friends. Many will drive on strange roads and will have to rely on traffic signs to help them along the way. Danger might lurk on these unfamiliar roads because signs may be missing, dam aged or inadequate. Despite their value, signs often are the most neglected part of our highway system, as weather ing, vandalism and accidents annually make more than 350,000 highway signs use less. Experts believe that signs that give motorists insufficient advance warning of what lies ahead are among the great est problems of safe night driving. The lack of proper night visibility is an impor tant defect in most sign sys tems throughout the country. In many areas modern signs are being installed that shine in automobile headlights and can be seen hundreds of feet away. These take the guess work out of nighttime driv ing and help make a motor Ist's journey safer and easi er. Regardless of where you drive for the Christmas holi day, traffic signs can be your "Star in the East" to lead you safely to your loved ones. Observe them and obey them iiy EM i mm i By TRAVIS HUGHS Houston, Texas-IUPD-Design-ing and tuilding a home for one of America's astronauts is quite a bit different than constructing a house for the average citizen. Just ask Houston home builder Frank Marsters. He built homes for five of the seven original astronauts. His clients - John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, Walter Schirra, Virgil Grissom and Donald Slayton and their families-had a primary re quirement. Above all they wanted privacy built into their homes. When the astronauts learn ed last year that they would be transferred to Houston and stationed at the new manned spacecraft center, they began to look for homes. The Houston Homebuilders Assn., proud to have the astro nauts coming to the commun ity, offered free furnished homes in Sharpstown on the southwest edge of the city. Did Not Accept But after much delibera tion and publicity, the astro nauts announced they felt ac cepting the free homes would not be in the best interest of the space program. The de cision was based on a policy that government employes steer clear of special privi leges offered because of their position. Anyway, the astronauts would have had a daily 60- mile round trip across town from their homes to the cen ter on Clear Lake where they will work. So the wives of the astro nauts began flying into Hous ton from temporary head quarters at Langley Field, Va., last winter to look over homes and homesites. When they learned the geography of sprawling Houston, they con centrated on the Galveston Bay area near the space cen ter site. During one trip to town, Mrs. Rene Carpenter contact ed Marsters, who was build ing homes in a subdivision called Timber Cove. The de velopment was only five min- iites fmm thf, snare, center site and attracted many of the Incoming scientists ana technicians. Pie-Shaped Lot The. rarnenters esDeciallv liked a big pie-shaped lot at th onH nf boat alio. They and the Glenns bought ad joining lots there and began meeting wltn Marsierr arcnt tout nn hmice rlMlfln Meanwhile, two blocks away, the Grissoms ana hnncrht adiolnine lots on Pine Shadows lane. Both families were in their homes by Schirra s orbital flight last October. Slayton and his family de cided to build on a heavily wnnrlnrl Knvnil sbOUt five miles west of Galveston bay. His home was the last one started and will not be ready for occupancy until spring ot 1963. Astronaut Gordon Cooper nhnu a hntiRA across Tavlor lake from Timber Cove. The Cooper home, in a develop ment called El Lago Estates, tn boat facilities just 100 feet from its sloping backyard. Of the seven, only Alan Shepard moved into an apart ment. His family occupies a large suite in a high-rise apartment building near Her mann Park in the Rice Uni versity district. Nine new astronauts, se lected earlier this year, are beginning to settle down in Houston. Several have houses on the drawing boards or un der construction. Service Pilots Two of the new spacemen are civilian test pilots making $17,000 a year from the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration. But the other seven newcomers are service pilots without most of tne financial advantages of ihe original seven astronauts. tlv. the second group, excluding the higher- paid civilians, prooaoiy win have to settle for more mod est homes. tu nrire, laffft on the CUS- tom-built houses ot the orig inal astronauts, have not been divulged, but their type of homes are generally believed to be in the $30,000 to $40,000 category. One unique requirement that comlicated design work was the privacy angle. This resulted in windowlcss fronts on the houses and enclosed gardens to make up for the missing out-of-doors views. The built-in privacy was tested in October when Shirra made his six-orbit flight. Long before dawn that morn ing, mobile television trucks and cameras, plus scores of newsmen and photographers, were stationed outside the Schirra home. Yet the family slept peacefully inside until an hour or so before the launch. Mrs. Schirra seemed surprised to find the street filled with people when she came out to talk to newsmen, though she had seen live pic tures of her home on tele vision during the launch program. Marsters says the individ uality and imagination of the astronauts and their wives was apparent from their speci fications and ideas about what they wanted in a house. Intelligent Ideas 'But their ideas were in telligent," he said. "Some times people have a screwball notion about what they want. I mean putting rooms around where it adds a lot of com plicated plumbing and wiring. Glenn 'It didn't take the astro nauts and their wives very long to see what was prac tical and they worked with our architect real smoothly." Distinctive features of the homes are: A ranch-style facing on the end of a boat canal. The ex terior is finished with used brick and natural cedar. The street side ot the house is walled for privacy while the side that faces the water is floor-to-ceiling glass. The interior of the Glenn home features a 33-foot-long family activity room, with basket weave brick floor, ex posed beam ceiling and eight-foot-long fireplace. The large master bedroom suite includes Glenn's study. There are bed rooms for each of the Glenn's two teen-aged children and a guest room. Outside, the patio has a sunken electric barbecue pit. There also is a walled-off boat storage area. The garage, shop and service rooms are on the front side of the house. Carpenter An Oriental contemporary designed house built next to Glenn's on the boat slip. Car penter and Glenn plan to build a boat dock and house on the water below their com mon backyard. The interior of the Carpen ter home is loned into adult and children's areas. There is a large bedroom for the two girls and smaller separate rooms for the two b"ys. The boys have their own entry and access for a playroom and shop. The living and dining room area features a lava stone two-way fireplace. Rene Carpenter has decorated the house with Oriental art ob jects. Grissom A flat roof contemporary with five skylights but a win dowlcss front side. Glass walls on the back side give a view to the patio and swimming pool from the Mexican tiled family room. There is a bed room with built-in work space for each of the two Grissom boys. The living room and dining room have glass walls and sliding glass doors open ing onto a walled palm gar den in the front. The exterior is finished in glazed white brick with redwood trim. Schirr A pitched roof contempo rary with a large overhang built adjacent to the Grissom home. A high cedar fence joins the Grissom and Schirra houses at the side near the front. To compensate for its wln- dowless front, the Schirra home has a large Oriental garden with a miniature wa terfall facing a full length glass wall in the living room and the study. There also are two patios, one walled and open and the other roofed. An overhead door , In the rear gives Schirra access to a sec tion of the garage used to store his boat. Glass is fixed above a gable in the master bedroom, afford ing a visual contact with the outdoors without losing any privacy. The large family room, where Mrs. Schirra, her mother and the two children watched Schirra'j televised blastoff, has a double fire place backing on the living room. Slayton A large red brick and cedar house built on a bend of a beautifully wooded bayou in the Friendswood community, five miles west of the other astronauts' homes. The high-pitched roof is fin ished with natural cedar shakes. Extensive glass is used in the rear to show off the bayou scene and big back yard. The front and back of Slayton's oversized lot are crowded with moss-draped pin oaks and pine trees. Inside, the home is high lighted by a sunken living room and large rooms. The Slaytong have one son. Cooper A ranch-style house finished in rock with redwood trim. Like New! 1962 CHEV. CORVAIR 4-Dr. sedan 6 with O.D., R 4 H. Thii aconomical car hat only 9,000 milai.
