Habitat From Page 1-A struction projects during the time in Philadelphia and Atlan- ta. Carter was in Charlotte last summer assisting in building projects there. But the backbone of the organization is Fuller, a lawyer and author who became a millionaire at the age of 29. Fuller, who began a marketing firm with a friend while in col- lege, saw his health, integrity and marriage decline as his business prospered, causing him to re-evaluate his values and direction. His “soul searching” led to reconciliation with his wife, Linda, and to a renewal of his Christian commitment. The Fullers decided to sell all of their possessions and give the money away and search for a new focus for their lives. During their search, they met Clarence Jordan. He had formed Koinonia Partners, a Christian community located on Koinonia Farm out- side Americus, Ga. The people at Koinonia were also searching for direction and for practical ways to apply Christian teachings. After a brief visit to the farm, the Fullers decided Koinonia was the ' place they would begin again. With Jordan and some other in- terested persons, several part- nership enterprises were in- itiated, including a ministry in housing. They came up with the ~ idea of building houses on a no- profit, no-interest basis, thus making the homes affordable to families with low incomes. Money for building was to be placed into what Koinonia Part- ners called a “revolving Fund for Humanity.” The Fund con- cept would be cyclical: money from the Fund for Humanity would be used to build houses, and payments would in turn be made back to the Fund for Humanity. In 1973, Fuller moved to Africa with his wife and four children to test the financial model overseas. They were supported financially by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Koinonia, and worked in Zaire under the auspices of the Church of Christ of Zaire. The project was a success and the Fund for Humanity became a working reality in this third world nation. The Fullers returned to the United States in 1976, convinced that this concept could be ex- panded and applied all over the world. They met with members of the Koinonia community and several people from across the United States and decided to create a new, independent organization: Habitat for Humahity. Since then, Millard and Linda Fuller have devoted their energies to the expansion of Habitat throughout the world. Fuller says Habitat’s economic philosophy is Biblical- ly based upon what he calls the “economics of Jesus.” The no- profit, no-interest components of the program come from a passage of Scripture which says someone lending money should not act as a creditor and charge interest.

However, the city council will consider a new policy at the Sept. 13 meeting to set an October cutoff date, after which residents will pay to light or relight their furnances. Currently, the city has never charged for the ser- vice. Utilities Director Jimmy Maney made the recommendation at last Wednesday’s meeting of the City Utilities Committee and Utilities Chair- man Al Moretz will make the recommendation to council at the September meeting. Maney said that all cities of similar size are go- ing to the policy and it’s an incentive to get Kings Mountain gas customers to turn their furnaces on before the first cold spell hits and 750 to 1000 calls come into the gas department at the same time for pilot lighting and to keep furnaces lighted throughout the winter. Ski Jackets, Reg. $57.00 4 only)... ... City Manager the service prior to Oct. 1 wouldn’t be charged. Names would be placed on a first-come first serv- ed appointment list based on the normal working hours of the gas department. If a gas customer wants his furnace lighted after hours, on weekends, he would have to pay a $10 service charge. After the Oct. 1 deadline, all calls handled during normal working hours would be at a cost of $5 per call. George Wood recommended set- ting the cutoff date this year at Oct. 28 instead of Oct. 1 since gas customers won’t have as much notice of the new policy. Members of the Utility commission, which also include Councilmen Fre Finger and Humes Houston, agreed. i Moving to correct outdated meters, the commis- TONEY'’S T-TOPS OPEN: Thursday, Friday, Saturday September 1, 2, 3 — 10:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M. | | OPEN LABOR DAY 12 Noon-6:00 P.M.
