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

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.

in rock with redwood trim.
