_ Spring and summer are
seasons when more
people are out looking for
a new house, an old house
that may need
remodelling or an
apartment. Bill Aird,
managing director of
Pinkerton's, Canada's
oldest and largest private
security agency, says
security should be a
factor when you build;
buy or rent that house or
apartment. •
Perhaps in a small
town, you may think the
following advice for
securing your home is not
necessary, but it's better
to be safe than sorry.
If you are planning to
build a house, says Aird,
don't choose a remote
location out -of -sight of
other homes unless you
are willing to live with the
added risk. A house in a
lonely location can
provide burglars with
almost unlimited op-
portunity if they learn
that you are away on
vacation or husinewfor a
long period of time.
Consider, too, that a
two-storey house With the
bedrboms upstairs is
considerably less secure
in the event of fire than a
one-story so-called
"ranch" style. On the
other hand, a low, spread -
out house offers that
wodld-be intruder more
avenues of access.
Be sure that adequate
lighting is designed for
doorways and garage
entrances. In planning
your landscaping, keep
large evergreens and
shrubs away from doors
or accessible windows.
Thorn bushes help repel
burglars from first floor
windows.

that cost relatively little
and are worth investing
in for new as well as
existing houses are. a

When you buy an

security measure is to

remove trellises strong

Growing houseplants
under artificial light
opens up a whole new
world , of gardening for
hobbyists, says Bob
Fleming, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture
and Food horticulturist.
During the dull, short
.days of winter, many
houseplants' suffer 'from
lack of natural light, he
says. 'Using artificial
light, home gardeners
can maintain plant
growth. Although ar-
tificial light is no match
for natural 'sunlight,
many common
houseplants will grow
successfully with 14 to 16
hours of artificial light
daily.
For light gardens, Mr.
Fleming recommends
flourescent lamps rather
than conventional in-
candescent bulbs.
Flourescent lamps are
more economical
because they provide
more illumination pet
watt Of electricity uses''.
Most floulamps provide a
good spectrum of light
9
and are cooler,than
in-
can4escet halbs.
There are a variety ot
flourescent lamps
designed . plant
growing. However, Mr.
Fleming says pool light
white tuba's are
satisfactory for most
home gardeners,
Lights should be ,set
about 0.3 'm directly
above the plants for
maximum light. Raise
the light as plants grow in
height.
"The better-known
houseplants such as
philodendrons, African
violets, German ivy,
begonias, pothos and
cindapsis will grow well
under artificial - light,"
says Mr. Fleming.
