■T—hr- 1 «■■■■ ‘HABITAT’ PROGRAM — Rev. David C. Maish, pastor of the Calvary United Methodist Church in Syracuse, discussed an organization called “Habitat” at the Saturday morning meeting of the Wawasee Kiwanis Club. He explained that "Habitat” is a program through which people who live in shacks in this county or other counties are able to acquire modest new housing or refurbished housing. People volunteer to work with the people who are in need. The volunteers are not paid. The persons who plan to live in the new building work with the volunteers and are required to pay only for the materials. Long term mortgages at reasonable rates are made available. As the mortgage is paid off, the payments go into a fund to be made available under the same terms for the next home owner. This non-profit program first started in Americus, Ga., which is near Plains, Ga. Jimmie and Rosalyn Carter have become involved in it and have written a book called “Everything to Gain.” Another book on the subject is called “No More Shacks.” A 15-minute film was shown regarding the subject. Projects have developed all across the country and around the world. Maish, on the right, is shown receiving a certificate of appreciation from Wawasee Kiwanis President Phil Hoover. <
