Students reap benefits
Library loans garden gear
By MICHAEL ANDERSON
For the Emerald
For students with green
thumbs but few greenbacks, the
University Tool Library is
probably Eugene’s most econ
omical outlet for gardening
tools and supplies.
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.

are available for what Tool Li
brary director Katie McLaughlin
calls "the cheapest rates in
Eugene” — $1.50 a day fee for
the lawn mower and $3 a day for
the roto-tiller.
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.

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.
