First Aid
For rtheHouse
By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: My plaster walls have
had about six coats of resin-base,
emulsion paint over a period
of 10 years. The last two coats
show quite a few hairline cracks,
both horizontal and vertical.
These do not appear to be plaster
cracks. Should the same type of
paint be used for the next paint job,
or could oil paint or enamel be
used? TIE weather was quite humid
while the work. was being done.
Would this account for the crack
ing? ?
Answer: Quite possibly. Painting
should be done while the air is dry
If you do not wish to remove all
the paint, the next best thing to
do would be to smooth out the
cracks and irregularities with course

But II you dOnC plan YOU
the view will be lost-not to mention
your chance to enjoy 1t.
So, when you plan to build on
a lot with an unusual view, it Is
good business to take full advantage
of the view. 1t then will be re-
fected in the resale price in case
YOU should ever want to sell the
house.
Example of Planning.
The house at 1853 Potomac avenue
NV, pictured above, was designed
for Lauchlin Currie, at one time
an assistant to the President.
Now owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam j. Hays, it is an example OF
the result of planning to take full
advantage OF a good view.
The primary influence in the de-
sign. and arrangement of the house
on the lot, was the view OF the
Potomac to the south. This meant
that in orienting the house on the
lot to take advantage of the view,
the house also would have the added
asset of southern exposure.
A further influence on the plan
was the fact that a tract of ground
at the rear of the lot was zoned for
apartments.
Thus, to provide privacy from the
gaze of apartment dwellers, the front
of the house was made the garden
side. This worked out we'll also from
the standpoint that it preserved the
view of the Potomac for members OF
the family when they sat in the
garden during the summertime.
Interior Arrangement.
A study of the floor plans shows
clearly how the interior arrangement
of the house was developed with the
site factors in mind.
The rear of the house has only a
few small utility windows, again the
goal in mind being privacy from the
apartment building in the rear.
But in the front, three wide full
length glass doors-Which seem al
most like large windows-open into
the garden and provide good first
floor view of the Potomac. Three
large easement windows on the
second floor also show the river
vista.

It's frustrating not to be able to

quarters.
/ But while you're waiting you can
gather some valuable information
that will help you when you do 60

You'll have fun, and will pick up
"a lot of knowledge. But most of
all, you'll know exactly what you
want when your time comes.
A man I know said recently that,
if he were to build today, he'd be
sure of getting the exact kind OF
homes he wants. But two years age
it would have been a different story
I've made a study of both ex-

The individual who has attempted

Big Savings
Claimed for
New Heater
By HiIson Munsey

While some interesting gadgets
have been produced for homes since
the war, most of us have been
disappointed in the exaggerated
dream home. promises we have
heard so frequently. However, one
concern recently showed to the
general public a revolutionary heat
ing unit which has delivered coal
savings of IS to 38 per cent in
home installation tests, including
year-round operation in $50 homes.
During actual use in these home
installations, this unit is claimed
to have operated at 80 per cent or
greater efficiency, as against so to
60 per cent in most equipment of
conventional design, regardless OF
the fuel used.
Because it is delivered completely
assembled, the new heating unit
can be erected in a home in about
10 minutes. exclusive of connections
This involves considerable savings
in installation costs for both new
and existing homes.

How TOAv0id
Being Typed
Midd|e-Aged
BY RUTH MILLETT

She is middle-aged so far as
years go, but she isn't the type
others describe as "a middle
aged woman"
She doesn't have a middle
aged look. She hasn't let herself
fall into the habit of buying a
dress just because it will do for
certain occasions, or because it
seems practical. She buys
clothes because they are becom-
ing, just as she did when she
was young.
She doesn't fall back on mid
dle-aged talk the house, the
children, the high cost of this
and that She is willing OF for
get her housework when she
isn't doing it, and think a nd
talk of other things.
She hasn't made the mistake
of limiting her social life to a
set little group Of friends. She
enjoys meeting new people and
bringing them into her life.
She knows more and better
ways of spending her leisure
than by "playing bridge with
the girls" On a nice afternoon
she is more likely to be playing
golf or working in her yard than
