Habitat For Humanity Reaches
Milestone In Building Houses
More than 2 million people worldwide have
benefited from the efforts of this national housing
organization. Locally, 20 families have partnered with
LaGrange County Habitat for Humanity in building
homes.
In 2005, HFH celebrated its 200,000th house,
and now, just five years later, that number has more
than doubled. During 2010, a record 75,960 families
worldwide were assisted with housing needs through
a combination of new construction, rehabilitation,
and repairs.
“Over the last 34 years, Habitat for Humanity has
steadily increas ed its scale and scope to help more
families in need of decent, affordable housing,” said
Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat
for Humanity International.
This is timely news for LaGrange County Habitat
for Humanity, who announced last week that it was
broadening its scope of partnership opportunities to
include household rehabilitation and repairs through
the “Brush with Kindness” program.
By 2013, Habitat for Humanity hopes to assist
100,000 families annually with new or improved
housing. These programs are made possible by
donations of time and money from volunteers around
the world.

left-handed person’s name printed on a cotton T-shirt
which reads Left-handed…but always right for $24.95.
This catalog has a way to stop your, or your
neighbor’s dog from barking while you are trying
to sleep. For only $69.95, you can buy an ultrasoniccontrolled “bird house” to hang outside so that when
a dog barks within 50 feet of it, it will emit a harmless
and in-audible to human ears sound which the dog
will find unpleasant, and soon will stop his barking. It
will need only one 9-V battery, which is not included.
For only $17.95 you could order a T-shirt with either
the message Inside this t-shirt is the world’s Best Grandpa
or the world’s Best Grandma! Or for $2 more, a white
T-shirt for baby that reads Hi, I’m new here.
In case I have stirred your interest enough that you
would like to have your own “Favorites” catalog, here’s
the address: FAVORITES, P. O. Box 3335, Chelmsford,
Maine 01824-0935.
Phone: 260-463-4901 • Fax 888-439-6528 • The Hometown Treasure
It came just today, as I write this. And I spent most
of my lunch time looking through it. It’s a catalog called
Catalog Favorites from Chelmsford, Maine. How did
they find me? And why after my name do they have
“or current resident”? They want me to buy from their
catalog, of course!
So what did I find appealing ... which does not mean
I will order it. There is a T-shirt with the inscription So
far this is the oldest I’ve ever been. Then on the next page
I’m attracted to a Tricolor Tree Wall Art that would
look good on my wall, but I think at $39.95 (plus $9.50
postage) I will turn the page.
I’m attracted to the plaque about cousins which
reads: Cousins are connected heart to heart. Distance and
Time keep them apart. But I don’t have to have a plaque
costing $12.95 to remind me!
The Hershey Syrup-scented candle might interest
me IF I had a sense of smell, but I will pass for $12.95.
I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it left
reads a $17.95 T-shirt. You could buy an Escape Hammer
to get out of your car in an emergency for $9.95…but
I suppose all of us car and truck drivers hope we will
never have to use one. For $24.95 you could have a
