How of th? W? k ,
Space Age Playroom Crowns Home
Br JOHN O. B. WALLACE
Hie penthouse playroom that
features this House of the Week
should have special interest for
apace age youngsters.
Occupying the whole of the
home's upper level. ii features an
honest-to-goodness observatory for
junior astronomers, as well as a
dull house, a puppet theater and
a pair of built-in bunks.
And when the children outgrow
it. you can convert it readily into
a family recreation area.
All this is just the frosting on
the cake of a solidly-planned seven
room house, which we have num
bered HW-97, from the drawing
board of architect Samuel Paul.
It incorporates unusual effects
in the exterior too.
Its long, covered flagstone porch
offers weather prot< ction and adds
emphasis to the entrance. The
large window areas and the long,
horizontal lines of the house are
in contemporary styling.
A deft touch is the high pitch
of the roof over the protruding
attic in contrast to the lower pitch
of the roof over the main portion
of the house.
There are large roof overhangs
above the entrance porch, the din
ing and lounging porch. A combi
nation of brick, siding and glass
is used for exterior materials.
The dwelling's seven rooms and
two baths include a laundry, ga
rage, storage area and a master
bedroom with dressing room and
wardrobe. An optional bath and
dormer may be a'dded to the play
room level
Located over the bedroom wing,
the playroom floor is sound insu
lated with cork and rock wool. Ar
chitect Paul says this about the
playroom :
"This room is designed to be
Informal, where children can par
ticipate in play activities unin
hibited and completely free. A
place where cleaning up the toys
is not a must. The train tracks
have their place on the floor.
"By means of a plastic, domed
skylight and a telescope, the stars
can be viewed as veil, perhaps,
as earth satellites. Double bunks
are provided for sleeping, if de
Sired. ?
"A folding partition around the
stair can completely close off this
floor from the lower area? and
the main living activities take
place all on one floor."
The large foyer, nearly square
in shape, leads to all parts of the
house. Standing in the foyer, it is
possible to look up through the
decorative open stairs to the sky
lighted observatory on the play
room level.
Directly ahead of the foyer is a
large living room ending in a glass
wall through which the garden
may be viewed.
The fireplace is of rough brick,
contrasting with the smooth plas
ter of walls.
A built-in buffet is a feature of
the dining room? and two large
aluminum sliding doors open from
tTle dining room onto the rear
porch.
The kitchen has modern equip
ment? built-in oven, built-in range,
sink, dishwasher, counter space
and cabinets. The laundry is in
an alcove off the kitchen.
The master bedroom has a dress
ing room, wardrobe and two
basins. The entrance to the hall
bath, which serves the two other
bedrooms, is secluded enough for
privacy. The house has a full
basement.

Hearing Date Set
On Boat Safety
Hearings on the bill providing for
boating safety of small pleasure
craft owners will start today at
Washington. D. C.
The hearings will be conducted
by Herbert C. Bonner, chairman of
the House merchant marine and
fisheries committee.
The bill would require the num
bering of all motor powered boats
for a fee, with penalties for non
compliance, and set up machinery
whereby the states and federal gov
ernment may enter into coopera
tive agreements to insure the
greatest possible uniformity of
boating laws and enforcement pro
cedures.
_ It is a modified version of a bill
introduced by Bonner last year.
The chairman expressed optimism
over prospect* of House passage
of the measure during this session
of Congress.
At the last session of the North
Carolina legislature a study of
motorboating was authorized with
a view to setting up regulation*
which would make motorboating
safer in North Carolina waters.
There's some good in everything.

Petitions Ask
State Dredging
Petitions are being circulated in
tbil county by the All Seahsore
Highway Association. They request
the state to dredge a 1, 200-foot
channel from deep water to the
ferry slip og Cedar Island.
If this channel were dredged,
the way would be clear for a car
ferry to ojerate between Ocra
coke and Carteret County this sum
mer. No dredging is needed 4t the
Ocracoke berthing point, accord
ing to J. A. DuBois, secretary of
the highway association.
It is estimated that cost of
dredging the Cedar Island channel
would be between $20,000 and $25,
000.
R. S. Wahab, Ocracoke, former
president of the All Seashore High
way Association, has been circu
lating tte petitions along the coast
The petition was qprpved by Dare
County commissioners at their
meeting this month.
Phone Numbers
To be Changed
Telephone subscribers served by
the Beaufort and Morehead City
exchange are going to get new
2-5 telephone numbers later this
year.
This was disclosed today by L.
A. Daniels, manager for the Caro
lina Telephone and Telegraph Co.
The 2-5 numbering system con
sists of two letters and five num
erals and conforms to the uniform
nationwide numbering system
adopted by the telephone industry.
To accomplish this change the
name PArk 8 has been assigned
to the Beaufort exchange and PArk
6 has been assigned to the More
head City exchange.
After the change) which is ten
tatively planned for August of this
year, telephone numbers in Beau- ?
fort will be PA8-XXXX and PA6
XXXX in Morehead City.
Some years hence, telephone sub
scribers will be able to dial their
own long distance calls without
operator assistance which is the
ultimate plan behind the proposed
number change, Mr. Daniels said.
Marshallbcrg numbers have al
ready been changed to the PA
system.
