West German small gardens bloom amid city life
In Frankfurt and across West Germany about half a million city apartment dwellers lease tiny plots, 14,000 in Frankfurt, creating Schreber gardens with houses, roses, and social spaces. The legal protection ensures replacements if land is needed, while costs range from 55 to 1000 dollars yearly.

Convicts Expand Machine Tool Output in Britain
Britain plans to broaden captive labor in prisons under the DIS Home Office system. About 20,000 inmates will work on machine tools and other items, aiming for 37.5 million dollars in annual production within four years. Remand prisoners aren’t required to work and many inmates perform domestic duties. Prisoners earn about 1.25 dollars weekly, with 28 hours typical and some up to 40 at institutions like Coldingley. Edinburgh Castle remains Scotland’s top visited site with 645,300 visitors in the last year, up 35 percent.

Group Clothes Most of Country But Gets Little Credit for It
Beverly Gilmore reports on Design America, a five year old group of seventy young designers who clothe most of America yet cite little press recognition. Members from White Stag and others work for major houses while many teach, mentor graduates, and fund scholarships. They push original, affordable fashion and plan a New York fashion week with the city’s Economic Development Administration.
