Peace group stresses individual awareness The Eugene chapter of the Women’s In ternational League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) discussed various ways an individual can work for peace on a day-to-day basis at their Thursday night meeting. Carol Neumann, assistant secretary for an environmentally concerned group called LIFE Action, emphasized the need for each individual to be ecologically aware. She said, “We hope to raise people’s level of consciousness—help everyone in the community become aware of how finite our resources are.” LIFE-Action members hope to share their environmental awareness with the Eugene com munity by starting more adult education classes, organizing n- ighborhood free schools, sponsoring community seminars and distributing brochures containing facts about the environment. The group currently offers courses at the University and Lane Community College. For further information, contact Ms. Neumann at 343 6202. Another WILPF member had researched large national companies to uncover what proportion of their product was used by the U.S. defense department to perpetuate the Vietnam war. Following her report, she suggested the group write letters to the IT & T president, protesting those products manufactured for the war industry. The group generally concluded they should boycott those companies who produce war products, but the particular means of action was left for a future meeting. Another member had researched the possibilities to legally avoid paying federal income tax in order to stop paying for the Vietnam war. She suggested the WILPF members encourage people live below the taxable level or contribute enough income to a group or cause they personally support so their remaining income is below taxable level. WILPF members are holding a fund raising party next Friday evening at 1859 Lawrence St., Eugene. On Jan. 31, the group is holding a potluck dinner at the Central Presbyterian Church at 15th Ave. and Ferry St., Eugene. The next WILPF Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for 9:30a.m. on Feb. 4 at 3022 Onyx St., Eugene.
