MAN’S HOME IS HIS CASTLE. This one, built by sculptor Jack Coke, is named “Wood
Castle’’ for obvious reasons and is made of mammoth barrels, the kind used for wine
storage. The barrels measure 20 feet high by 15 feet across and are connected by hall
ways that also serve as extra rooms. The house blends beautifully with its rustic sur
roundings in the woods near Jenner, Calif., top. At bottom left, the Coke children:
Rene, 4; Carmen, 6; and John, 8, sing (barrelhouse?) outside the master bedroom. At
bottom right, an unusual entrance to the unusual home. Coke enlisted the aid
of friends and completed the house in two years.

Young Singles Swing in D.C
By MARY ELLEN RIDDLE
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON—(N E Al-
Young professional people
have a problem in this city.
They don’t fit in at the
honky-tonk topless joints in
the night-club district. They
don’t get invited to the par
ties that provide most of the
relaxation for older, more
established people who live
in the city.
Most of the people between
20 and 30 years old did not
grow up in the city and have
few friends. For the new
comer, living in an efficiency
or a furnished room, the sit
uation can be a very lonely
one.
But several lo<u*l business
men have turned the prob
lem of how to meet people
in Washington into a profit
able business. They have
opened singles clubs which
cater to the young and un
married. The point of the
whole venture is to take the
stigma out of being “picked
up.”
The activities of these
clubs range from boy-meets
girl cocktail parties and
dances to vacations in the
Caribbean or the ski slopes
of Colorado. But the starting
point is the come-by-your
self-and-leave-as-a-couple
party.
“I come here every week,”
the tall blonde secretary
said. The atmosphere in the
small club called “Wayne’s

A FIRST NATIONAL VACATION LOAN

Make this the year that you and your family take that vacation you’ve
always wanted. A First National Travel Loan and Traveler’s Checks

OF GRIFFIN, GEORGIA member f.d.i.c.
LUV,” is so dense that it is
difficult to examine the
available members of the
opposite sex. Those who
have been there before know
they should wear white be
cause it glows under the
I \r* )
black lights which illuminate
the psychedelic posters on
the walls.
They don’t allow dates in
the club on Wednesday
nights.
“There’s nothing wrong
with being picked up here,”
another girl said. “Nobody
thinks there’s anything
wrong with it.” As she spoke
a young man approached the
table where she sat with
two other girls and the two
left for the dance floor.
“The great thing about
this place,” said a 23-year
old first lieutenant who
works with computers in the
Pentagon, “is that all the
girls are really beautiful.”
The cover charge is high
at LUV, but all the drinks
are free. After a couple of
hours, laughter and the
steady drumbeat can be
heard a block away.
Listed between Dial-a-De
votion and Dial-a-Prayer in
the Washington phone book
is a service called Dial-a-
Party. By dialing the
number and telling your
name and age, you can find
the location of several
singles parties being given
each night of the week.
Some of the clubs are
extravagantly sophisticated.
The members are profession
als who make enough money
to swing in style.
One of these clubs is the
Club Bastille.
> “We don’t cater to the beer
crowd,” says Sam Holladay,
manager of the club which
is owned by Young World
Corporation. His company
also publishes a magazine
and is planning to open
singles apartment buildings
and resorts, while franchis
ing more clubs in major
cities.
Holladay doesn’t believe in
matching up the boys with
the girls, he says. The club
tries to match up groups of
people with similar interests
to participate in activities.
The groups are planned with
a conveniently equal number
of boys and girls, however,
and Holladay says nature
often takes its course.
A posh supper club is home
base for the members when
they are not jetting off to
Jamaica where the party
will last all summer in week
long installments this year.
Holladay’s chief concern
is with the ladies.
“They are our most price
less commodity,” he says,
“and when we get them in
side the Bastille, we’re going
to take care of them.”
He said a girl who came
to the club could meet
people without being
“hustled off her feet.”
The Bastille’s biggest gim
mick is travel—members
are promised low rates, lux
ury accommodations and
good times. The membership
has grown to 7,000 in just a
little over a year, so they
must be getting at least the
good times.
More than 6,000 young
people have joined the Col
lege Graduates Club in Wash
ington. The members meet
once a week for a cocktail
party and dance at a down
town hotel, but this club also
stresses group travel op
portunities.
“Some people join just for
the ski trips,” Buck Jones,
the club’s co-ordinator says.
They go on week-end trips to
nearby ski resorts and take
off for Colorado each March.
Most of the smaller singles
clubs were started for em
ployes of several business
organizations. Unmarried
office workers find invita
tions to these parties on
office bulletin boards. Every
thing is strictly ad hoc.
But the big organizations
like the Bastille Club and
Jopa, a near-carbon copy,
are making their owners
very rich—and their mem
bers very happy.
