MEDKORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MtDFOKD. OREGON B 5 Building Costs Cut by Omitting Wood Flooring Br DOROTHEA M. BROOKS New York-flJPli- Looking for cost-cutting tricks in home building? You might consider omitting the flooring. There seems to be a grow ing trend in this direction, according to Allen Frischer, president of Frischer Carpels Inc., New York, one of the country's largest carpeting firms. It used to be, he said, that home owners and apartment dwellers had to decide wheth er or not they wanted to car pet, decorate with area rungs or leave floor completely ex posed. Now, however, the choice often is boiling down to whether or not a family wants carpeting or flooring. The practice of eliminating wood flooring entirely and simply installing carpeting or GLASSES ON CREDIT! aWf Grain Stamps 5K(i (ft COLUMBIAN OPTICAL CO. Mcdford Shopping Center hard surface covering over the sub-flooring began with cost conscious apartment builders and has spread to the ranks of home owners. ...Adopted Trick The large scale home devel oper picked up the practice for his model homes where, since carpeting was necessary as a decorative feature, it seemed foolish to bother in stalling expensive wood floor ing that would never be seen. The do-it-yourself home build ers also adopted the cost-cutting trick which saves both money and the time required to install flooring. "Whether or not carpeting is installed directly over the sub-flooring or over wood floors, Frischer emphasizes, "There are a number of im portant considerations that should be taken into account when contemplating the floor j I treatment of a home." 1 Frischer emphasize the clec ! orative value of carpel to a room setting, since it contrib : ules both color and texture. Important also, is the sound , deadening qualities of carpet j ing. The soft pile of carpet ab j sorbs not only the clatter of feet on wood but, in homes of more than one story, will min imize overhead noises and pro- vide an added measure of ; sound insulation. I Gains Favor Frischer maintains, too. that i carpeting has been gaining favor in recent years because of its low maintenance re i quiremenls. which generally amount to regular vacuuming and infrequent cleaning. He stressed the importance of choosing the right floor covering for a particular use, noting that, since certain areas of a home are likely to have heavier traffic than others, it is a wise idea to vary the grade of carpet to suit the room. It is possible to do this without resorting to different pattern or color since the same carpeting often comes in a variety of grades and thick ness, Frischer said. He pointed out that carpet ing is not an all-purpose floor covering and there are certain living areas where use of another material is preterable; in playrooms, for instance, where it usually is advisable to use some sort of tile. Bath rooms and kitchens, too, tra ditionally lend themselves to iiling. For the family that likes the appearance of wood flooring with area rugs for accent, he suggests as a less expensive substitute a vinyl or linoleum tloor covering that simulates wood and is more easily maintained.

When he fell in his bedroom i and broke his thigh while on a Riviera holiday last June there were few who would have wagered he would reach his 88th birthday. He was flown home amid what almost amounted to worldwide mourning and went into hos pital. For days each succeed ing medical bulletin was awaited with anxiety. But the days went on. The old man began silting up. Then came the day he went home in a wheelchair - with a defiant "V" sign for those who had doubled. Soon Walking Soon he was walking around the ground floor of his London home. With difficulty and with the aid of a sloul cane. Bui walking. And one day earlier this month he went out to dinner with his friends of "The Oth er Club." at the Savoy hotel. He ate and drank everything on the menu. He smoked his I I i To Observe 88th Birthday SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL big cigars.

Whatever the future holds for the man who has been de scribed in his cherished House of Commons as the greatest Englishman for 500 years, he has at least one definite plan. He wants to get back down to the Riviera and sit in the sun again as soon as his doc tors will let him. And if Sir each I Winston has his way, it will Cut I be soon.
