Tools for Peace Despite an official U.S. stance of hostility toward Nicaragua and its current government, many North Americans have supported efforts to rebuild that Central American nation since the conclu sion of the successful struggle against dictator Anastasio Somoza five years ago. Campaigns to raise material aid for Nicaragua have taken place nationally—most recently by Ox fam America's Tools for Peace Campaign. In Eugene, the Coun cil for Human Rights in Latin America is sponsoring a local 'Tools for Peace" effort, focusing on several types of donations: tools for agriculture, carpentry and mechanics; school supplies; and money donations for a port able saw mill. The sawmill, of immense value in the development of remote areas, will be donated to IRENA, the Nicaraguan Natural Resources and Forestry Agency, as a gift from Oregonians. A large part of the funds for its purchase will be raised by a summer-long series of Sunday evening benefits at the Keystone Cafe, 395 W. 5th. The first benefit dinner is Sunday night, June 24th, from 5:30 to 9:30. Eugene "Tools for Peace" dona tions will go to several groups in Nicaragua. Part of the tools, ma chinery and spare parts (which, it is emphasized, can be of any kind) will be used in local "tool banks" for small farmers, established by Nicaragua's National Union of Small Farmers. AMNLAE, the women's association of Nicar agua, will also provide basic tools for rural women to help them start family and community gardening projects. Educational supplies (from pencils and chalk to type writers and audiovisual equip ment) will go to schools. Some materials collected from dormi tory, fraternity and sorority residents during the past Spring quarter are already on their way. The 'Tools for Peace" Cam paign is just one of the many on going activities organized and sponsored by the Council for Hu man Rights in Latin America, a nonprofit, multi-ethnic organiza tion that has been working for more than nine years to educate the people of the U.S. about human rights issues in Latin America. The Council has spon sored programs such as the Women's Tour to Nicaragua, nu merous Latin American cultural events, Spanish lessons, con ferences, speakers, a monthly newsletter, and weekly "Hard Times Lunches," to name a few. They are currently involved in a petition drive to place a resolution on Eugene's general-election ballot calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Central America. Donations of tools, supplies, or money may be brought to the Council’s Eugene office, 1236 Kin caid St. Or for more information, call them at 484-5867. —Doug Baker garbagio's garbage & recycling service 726-5175 Onity 2 1 Schools Child Care Summer Recreational Program NO Religious Affiliation Ages 3-8 call 484-0107 580 N.
