Located next to the Food-Op near 15th Avenue and Agate Street, the Tool Library stocks a complete supply of gardening necessities Shovels, hoes, spades, turning forks, pitch forks, weed whips, rakes, sickles, grass shears, edgers, post hole dig gers and hand trowels can be borrowed for three days. For most tools — the power lawn mower and roto-tiller are exceptions — there is no rental fee. Non-students can borrow from the library after paying a $2.50 membership fee.

If a desired piece of equip ment is reserved or not in stock, McLaughlin will either refer people to another place, or put the person on a waiting list. The Tool Library will usually refer people to the Urban Farm, another Universisty tool outlet. “People usually do not have to wait,” she says. If a person can't wait for a tool, several rental agencies in Eugene also provide gardening equipment. Valley Rental Service, 886 West 6th Ave., charges $4.50 an hour or $20 a day for rolo-tillers, and rents lawn mowers for $4 an hour or $20 a day. An airator, dethatcher, plus all sorts of non-power tools also are available. Similarly, Franklin Boulevard Rentals, 4340 Franklin Blvd., stocks the same equipment for about the same rates. Roto-tillers, varying in hor sepower, range from $4 to $8 an hour, while lawn mowers cost $3.50 an hour. For students interested in gardening information, the Tool Library offers books and magazines for beginning gar deners. The library also holds equipment demonstrations. In the future, McLaughlin says she hopes to arrange gardening workshops between the Food Op and the Tool Library. Tool librarian Jay Krahn says students may recommend addi tons to the Tool Library. “If two or three people request a certain tool, we’ll probably end up getting it.” txpert sees timDer wars MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) - A forestry industry expert says in creased competition is coming in the world's forest timber in dustry for both timber and land to grow it on. Harold Wahlgren, leader of a U S. Forest Service re search group, spoke to the 42nd annual Natural Resources Week on the University of Idaho campus. Wahlgren said there will be T increased competition in the United States, between the traditional wood products in dustry and those interested in using wood for energy. Internationally, where the for est area is expected to decrease by more than 40 percent by the year 2000, the battle will be over cutting down the forests to plant the land in agricultural crops to feed the world’s rapidly in creasing population. 1 The toughest job you’ll ever love We admit it. It takes a different kind of person to be a Peace Corps Volunteer. We won't mislead you with glowing pictures of exotic lands. The hours as a volun teer are long. The pay is modest. And the frustrations sometimes seem overwhelming. But the satisfactions and rewards are immense. You'll be immersed in a new culture, become fluent in a new language, and learn far more about yourself than you ever expected. You'll also discover that progress in the Peace Corps is measured in small accom plishments. Such as rural health clinics established in Kenya. -Irrigation systems built in Upper Volta. Fresh-water fish ponds started in the Philippines. The progress may seem modest, but to people in developing nations who have never before had clean drinking water, basic health care, or enough to eat, the Peace Corps brings a message of hope and change. We invite you to look into the volunteer opportunities beginning this year in 65 developing nations. See our representatives for details.
