the programs put on by the local Audubon Society. These evening! movies help finance the free afternoon programs the society offers in different schools all over the city. The school programs have met with such suecess, says Mrs. H. F. Wright, secretary-treasurer of the local chapter, that the treasury is a little embarrassed. Eight hundred students, both grade and high school, make an average attendance. The evening programs are open to the public|

Has Oné Excavated Beside Basement By MARGUERITE S¥rrn RIGHT ALONG with the great American dream of a “little place in the country” goes another vision, The yén for a little greenhouse glows . especially bright in February. And this is what I've been . hearing. “So. we priced greenhouses. Why they cost $2500!" (Maybe greenhouses are the answer to reasonably priced houses.) . Another case: “They built a little greenhouse in their back-
So here's how one gardener solved both these problems. When the Frank Landwerlens’ new house was building at 3211 ‘Brill Road, Mr. Landwerlen wanted a place for winter gardening. He asked his contractor-friend, Edward Kirch, what he thought . of making one just off the basement.
Tinners Solve
Frame Problem Mr. Kirch opined that it | would -be—easy-to-excavate a little extra dirt. Then the Scheer Bros., tinners, said yes, they ‘expected they could build frames." (After inspection of some ready-built glass houses they even made little drip pans to catch moisture that condenses on the glass.) Result—at minimum expense Mr, Landwerlen has a 50-foot walk-in greenhouse along one ~whele side of his house, It's heated from the basement. Adequately, too, since he had no trouble during 1948's prolonged cold. “It would cost considerably more if your house. were already built,” observes Mr. L., “but-it-weuld still be economi-- | cal. Ernest Jockish, a nurseryman friend of ours, says these | excavated pit houses are the {only way they raise winter | vegetables in the old country. | They could never afford over

there to ask the high prices for winter vegetables that this country’s expensively heated glass houses have to have." Mr. Landwerlen's early started flats of snapdragons and aster seeds, Mrs, L.'s fresh parsley to use all winter long, are only part of the pleasure they've had from their greenhouse. “We never have to turn lights on in the basement,” says Mr. L. “The windows keep it light.”
