Affluence has its price, of course. "The odor is terrible," complains Mrs. Jean Puckett, who has wells and burn-offs to either side of her one-acre lot. "It's just like leaving on a gas stove without lighting it." Lon Whaley, who has two of the natural gas burn-offs lighting up his front yard like the county fairgrounds, has difficulty getting to sleep at night. And Noah Blevins worries about the landscape: "It 'bout made me sick to see them drillin' and tearin' up what I spent all my life buildin...
...whole idea is to free children to follow their curiosity through a rich variety of gamelike experiments.

In 1946 he fashioned his first sun stove out of a captured German antiaircraft searchlight mirror at an observatory near Paris. Moving to the old Pyrenean citadel town of Mont-Louis, where the sun shines as many as 200 days a year, he has since built five larger solar furnaces.
