TIMES HOME OF THE WEEK MY DEAR MR. CHURCHILL Churchill Eccentricities Showed Up In Chartwell EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fifth of a series or arti- cles taken from the forth- coming book, "My Dear Mr. Churehill," by Walter Graeb- ner, an American 'writer who was closely associated with Winston Churchill in past-war years. During the time I knew him, Churchill shifted about among four residences: his two official houses -- 10 Downing St, and Chequers -- his town house at 28 Hyde Park Gate, and Chartwell. But he had only one real home, and that was Chartwell, his country estate about twenty-five miles from London, in the rolling Weald of Kent. Chartwell was the spot he really loved, the place where he was always happiest.

A JUMBLE Another room had been made into an office for the secretaries. It, too, was usually a jumble, crowded with books, manuscripts, dispatch boxes, tea cups, two or three secretaries. It was on the second floor that the family really lived, ate and slept, and for this purpose it had been converted into an almost self-contained apartment. Even here, however, there was no granduer, but only solid, tasteful comfort. The big living room -- once, a0 doubt, the master bedroom -- was elegant enough with its soft, pastel colours, barreled ceiling, | Se CyEYs) NN HOME DESIGN NO. 77 This one with its attrac- tively styled exterior, shut- tered windows and over- hanging roof reflects the true colonia] atmosphere of old Virginia.

FIRST AID TO NOISY HEAT RISER QUESTION: Our house fairly old. A heat riser in the corner of our dining room is very noisy .when the heat is starting up and shortly after it dies down. It's very annoying. How can we correct this? ANSWER: The noise is prob-| ably due to loosened supports, or too few supports, for the pipe along its horizontal length. This will usually permit noisy vibra- tion as the metal expands or contracts. Check the supports and tighten any loose ones, or add more supports if necessary. Sometimes inserting small pads of foam rubber between the sup- port and the pipe will absorb the vibration and make it less noisy. is| AILING HON {DRIVEWAY TIGHT TO WALL? | QUESTION: We are consid- ering putting ina concrete driveway. Is it advisable to run concrete tight up to the base- ment wall? ANSWER: Expansion joints of ja premolded material (usually }one-half inch thick and as wide as depth of driveway) should be placed between driveway 'con- crete and basement wall, to take care of expansion due to tem- perature changes. At 10 feet in- tervals in the driveway, be sure to place contraction joints. I suggest getting imstruction leaf- let on proper installation of concrete sidewalks and drive- ways from your local office of the Portland Cement Associa- tion, or from their headquarters at 33 W.
