By JOHN 0. B. WALLACE
Japanese architectural features,
suck M those which helped inspire
today's modern trend in American
homes, have been stressed In this
elegantly styled seven-room resi
dcnce. Emphasised also art sen
aihU and practical living features.
As In the finest examples of |
Oriental architecture, this excep
tional House The Week plan,
designated HW-95, has delicately |
perfect proportions.
It embodies still another feature I
of Oriental homes? that of indoor
outdoor living where gardens, ter
races and surrounding landscape
are integrated with the bouse |
through open construction.
Designed by Herman II. York,
and American architect often cited
for unusual accomplishments In
residential architecture, HW ? #5
uses an authentic Japanese gar
den as its central theme. ,
All major living areas overlook I
the lily pond and foot bridge, the |
garden's focal point. Another fea
ture is ao Immediate garden view
from the entrance foyer, called in
Japanese house plans an "ante
room." The architect says:
Circular Glass Wall
"The garden is not only viewed
from all areas, but can be ap
proached through door openings
from the living room, the dining
room and the sitting room.
"Likewise a feature is the in
door plant Toom with its circular
wall of glass. This area can be
screened off from the dining room
if desired to produce a greenhouse
at the roar.
"The complete sweep of the rear
terrace, which if accessible from
the kitchen, the dining room, tie
sitting room and the owner's (mas
ter) bedroom, creates an area of
complete outdoor living in privacy.
The garage acts as a screen,
should the house be built on a |
corner plot."
The house has three bedrooms
?< owner's, son's and daughter's
rooms) ? a sitting room, living
room, dining room and kitchen
plus two bathrooms, lavatory, in
door plant room, the gardes, ante
room and a two-car garage.
The large ante room or (oyer
opens to the - Japanese garden
through ? large window wall. An
indoor-outdoor planting la at the
wall bate.
Tb? dining room, alao opening
to the gardes, has as Indoor plant
room. The plant room ltaelf is sep
arated from the dining room aad
the kitchen by shojl screens.
There is A Indoor grille for pre
paring ateaka or the tasty Japa
nese hoof dish, sokiyaki.

Two Seniors Win
Merit Certificates
For High Ratings
David Chlpman, a vnior at
Beaufort High School, and David
Webb Nelson, a senior at More
head City High School, have been
awarded certificate! of merit at a
result of their outstanding records
in the 1957-58 National Merit'
Scholarship exams. ,
David is the son of Dr. and Mrs.
W. A. Chlpman and David Webb
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil
L. Nelson.
Hl?h scores on two college apti
tude tests led to the nationally
recognised academic honors for the
seniors. Less than one half of one
per cent of the seniors in each
state received the awarda.
' The local seniors are among 7,300 ?
finalists in the current National
Merit Scholarship competition
which began last October with the
testing of 256,000 of the nation's
most able high school seniors. .
Over 1,000 of the finalists will be '
awarded $5 million in Merit
Scholarships, ai a result of final
judging now being conducted. Win
ners will be announced about May
1, 1958.
The names of the students will ?.
be sent to over 1,500 colleges, uni
versities, and other acholarship
granting agencies for consideration
for thousands of other scholarships.
"We believe that this year's
Merit Scholarship Finalists com
pose one of the most talented
groups of high school students of
this size that has ever been Identi
fied," declared John M. Stalnaker,
president of the National Merit'
Scholarship Corporation, which
conducts the annual competition.
"As a group, they rank at the ,
highest ability levels of the na
tituial senior class, and I hope that '
each of them receives scholarship
help in accord with his need.
Through the help of 80 business and
industrial corporations, founda
tions, and individual^ we will be
able to provide Merit Scholarships'
to 1,000 of them this year, and we
hope that many of the remaining t
finalists will receive scholarship
help from other sources as a re
sult of our circulating their names
to other scholarship sources."
