Rotary Club
To Sponsor
STARs Here
The Summerville-Trion Rotary
Club will sponsor 1961-62 STAR
program activities in the Chat
tooga County-Trion City school
systems, Robert W. Scherer, 7th
district chairman of the Stu
dent Teacher Achievement Rec
ognition (STAR) project, has an
nounced.
Paul Weems is club president.
“This organization of public
spirited community leaders is
playing a vital role in the suc
cess of the program in this area,”
he said.
“As a STAR program sponsor,
this group is helping immeasur
ably to raise the standards of
academic achievement in Geor
gia and to focus richly-deserved
public attention on outstanding
students and members of the
teaching profession.”
Ashton J. Albert, chairman of
the education department of the
Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce—sponsor of the state-wide
STAR program — joined Mr.
Sbherer in commending the or
ganization for “its excellent ef
forts in behalf of education in
Georgia.”
He explained that scores made
on the December 2 College Board
Scholastic Aptitude Test, coupled
with scholastic averages in class
room work, will determine the
STAR student in each school.
From this group, winners in the
school system, school district and
state-wide categories will be se
lected solely on the basis of col
lege board scores, he said.

Christmas Program Set at
Summerville PT A Tuesday
The Summerville Elementary
Parent-Teacher Assn, will meet
in the cafetorium at 3:15 p.m.
Tuesday.
Notice this is the second Tues
day rather than the regularly
set aside third because of con
flict with the Christmas sched
ule. Mrs. Henry Duke, president,
said.
The fourth grades will present
a program of Christmas carols
including “Silent Night”, “O,
Little Town of Bethlehem”,
“The First Noel”, and “Away in
a Manger”. As a student reads
an explanation of the carol, two
students will display an original
illustration of each. Then a
large group will sing the carol.
Nancy Lenderman will, however,
sing “Silent Night” as a solo.
The true Christmas spirit will
be the theme for the program.
The Rev. Frank Rollins, the
pastor of the Summerville First
Methodist Church, will deliver
the address on “Keeping Christ
in Christmas”.
“All members and prospective
members are urged to attend,”
Mrs. Duke said. “Knowing and
understanding the entire school
system is the best method for
deciding how to help your chil
dren in their school careers.
Also, you like things best that
you understand and know best.”
“The village smithy,” pop
ularized by Longfellow, had
“Strong and sinewy hands,” be
cause he used them, exercised
them continually. Use made
them strong! To find the
strength for your life, practice
your religion. Regular attend
ance at church will provide a
strong faith.

Martin Home Has Storybook
Look, But Much Practicality
Homey.
That, in a word, sums up the charming new home of
Mrs. W. P. Martin in Riverview Heights, Summerville.
The Early American home is white with dark blue shut-
ters and roof. Nestled on a
wooded slope, it gives almost a
storybooK appearance as one ap
proaches from the main road.
Mrs. Martin and her late hus
band, Dr. Martin, noted Chat
tooga County physician, planned
their home for years, designing
it with their young children in
mind. Although Dr. Martin died
early this year during the early
stages of construction, Mrs. Mar
tin was determined to carry out
her husband’s plans and to rear
her children m the home.
The house has one and one
half stories, with the dormers at
the rear, and is enhanced by a
large, gabled two-story garage.
Over the garage is what Mrs.
Martin considers “one of the
nicest features” of the entire
house—a big playroom.
She has four children—Billy
8, Elizabeth (Ebeth) 7, Jeb 3'/2
and John, 11 weeks, so the play
room is understandably a handy
contrivance.
Also on the second floor are
two bedrooms and a bath.
Another feature Mrs. Martin
especially likes about her new
home is the old brick fireplace
in her living room. The original
plans called for a modern corner
fireplace but Mrs. Martin re-de
signed it and came up with one
that she feels fits better into the
decor. It has a raised hearth
and the brick is visible all the
way to the ceiling. The simple
mantle is of wood and holds an
Early American clock which Dr.
Martin gave his wife last'Christ
mas.
The entry hall, stairway and
living room comprise the center
of the first floor, with the living
room looking out on a beautiful
wooded area at the rear of the
house. Four paned windows are
used to form a corner “window”
for the room. In addition to the
clock, another living room acces
sory which Mrs. Martin treasures
is a painting done by a great
aunt.
The two first floor bedrooms,
a bath and a library are located
at the right of the entry. Read
ing has always been important in
the Martin home, and their
books more than fill one wall.
The kitchen, dining room, util
ity room are located at the left
of the entry. The kitchen is on
the front and contains a family
eating area, as well as a modern
built-in oven, cooking top and
unple cabinets. The dining room
s at the rear of the kitchen, and,
like the living room, looks out on
the back. The utility room is off
he kitchen and doubles as a
“mud room”—entry for muddy
footed youngsters — and work
room.
When reminded of the mod
। ern aversion to stairs, the wife
of the late physician declared
that they planned the stairs
“quite” deliberately. She said
they felt it would insure ample
exercise not only for the young
sters, but also for themselves.
Plenty of closets was another
must so far as Mrs. Martin was
concerned. She has closets in
almost every room, as well as a
large upstairs storage room.
Although the house is comfort
able, it does not contain a lot of
elaborate features. Rather,
throughout their planning, Mrs.
Martin states, they planned the
house “to stretch our dollar as
far as possible.” They thus se
lected simple windows for the
living room instead of a fancy
“picture window” and they de
cided on a story and a half as
the most economical way to get
four bedrooms which they felt
was needed with a family the
size of theirs.
The exterior of the house ap-
I pears to be wood, but is actually
a Masonite siding which is sup
। posed to be almost maintenance
free.
“I always wanted a white
house,” says Mrs. Martin, “but
of course it didn’t seem the econ
omical thing to build in view of
the maintenance costs. So this
siding is the compromise.”
One of the “least expensive
but most useful” features of the
home, in the widow’s opinion, is
the inter - communications sys
tem. Not only can she keep in
touch with the children all over
the house, but she also has a
station at the door that allows
her to converse with callers be
fore opening the door. She feels
this is especially important in
her situation.
Not having to worry about
traffic is one of the most entic
ing features of the new Martin
home. Having previously lived
on busy Martin Street in mid-
Summerville, Mrs. Martin says
she can fully appreciate not hav
ing to worry about the chil- ।
dren getting out in the street.
The Martins had planned their,
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA
home for some 10 years, she
states, and had selected two or
three plans. However, Dr. Mar
tin saw the plan they finally de
cided on in a Chattanooga news
paper and ordered it. They made
few alterations, Mrs. Martin
notes, because the plan so close
ly approximated what they
wanted.
Both the Martins came from
“antiquing families” and they
know this influenced their deci
sion for Early American archi
tecture and interior. Mrs. Mar
tin is especially proud of two
chests and a blanket chest which
her father made and presented
her some time ago. They are
used in her bedrooms.
Also of much pride to Mrs.
Martin i: the rocking chair
which belonged to her grand
mother. It’s located in her bed
room and is again enjoying much
use following the arrival of
young John. Mrs. Martin also
has a platform rocker in her liv
ing room which is sometimes
used if visitors are on hand
when the infant’s rocking time
arrives.
“I believe in rocking children,”
says the mother.
She also believes in providing
a cozy, comfortable surroundings
for her family and since moving
into the home in August, she is
more convinced than ever that
me plan selected was the right
One for the Martin family.
