HARRY E. the Thomason, multi-millio- n attorney, and a Maryland Congressman have licensed a South Carolina firm, Solaris Systems of South Carolina, to build the first sola houses built for sale to the public. Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been working on. a solar house heating problems for 25 years on a $600,000 grant.

Gaines Research Journal has Dog shown how the inventors system could be used to heat kennels. A Purdue professor suggests the system can warm cattle barns so that the cows will use less food for keeping warm. A building inspector wants to see the system used for heating warehouses. Others . suggest heating. greenhouse Motel owners want their pools heated for autumn and . spring use. Mr. Thomason attacked the solar heating problem from the standpoints of efficiency and costs. The second of his three houses - only eight solar heated houses have been built -cost $10,000. Mr. Thomason invented a solar heat collector of glass, black corm-gate- d sheet metal and insulation. The sun shines through the glass and makes the metal hot. COLD WATER is pumped over the metal and is heated, even on b'tter cold sunny days. The heat is stored in a heat storage bin also invented b Mr. Thomason. The warmed water flows to a tank in the basement where it also heats three truckloads of stones. Heat is then automatically extracted from the warmed water and stones by a blower to heat the house. He also invented cooperating air conditioning. During the summer the water and stones are chilled nightly and the coolness is stored to keep the homes cool on hot days. Domestic water for the home is heated both winter and summer. Mr. Thomason, 39, is a natm of Salisbury, North Carolina. He has an AB degree in physics from Catawba College and an LIB in law from Georgetown University Law School.
