Peace Corps volunteers are
people pretty much like you. Peo
ple with commitment and skills who
have assessed their lives and decided
they want to be of service to others
in a troubled world.
The problems our volunteers
deal with overseas aren’t new. Such
as the cycle of poverty that traps one
generation after another because
they’re too busy holding on to get
ahead. The debilitating effects of
malnutrition, disease, and inade
quate shelter. Education and skills*
that are lacking, and the means to
get them too.
Your college training qualifies
you to handle more of these prob
lems than you might think. Such as
teaching nutrition and health prac

and irrigation systems; working on

Reagan says
hell run
WASHINGTON — Pres. Ronald
Reagan gave the go-ahead on
Thursday for the establishment of
a campaign committee for the re
election of himself and Vice Pres.
George Bush. Sen. Paul Laxalt, R
Nev., who will head the effort,
said "I have no doubt...that
Ronald Reagan will be a candidate
for re-election."
Laxalt, the general chairman of
the Republican party and the
chairman of both previous Reagan
campaigns for the presidency,
said he would formally establish
the re-election panel on Monday
and file the necessary documents
with the Federal Election
Commission.
Also on Monday, the president
will sign a letter formally authoriz
ing the step, Laxalt said, noting
that "He will legally be a can
didate at that point.” He said
that Reagan would delay a full
declaration of his candidacy until
the current congressional session
ends, probably shortly before
Thanksgiving.
Riots block
Army base
BREMERHAVEN, West Germany
— Helmeted riot police dragged
away 255 anti-nuclear protesters
and turned water cannon on hun
dreds of others who joined an all
day blockade Thursday of a U.S.
Army base and a major North Sea
port.
At sunrise, 2,500 demonstrators
gathered to blockade three en
trances to Carl Schurz Barracks
and to temporarily seal off the ad
joining port of Midgard on the
outskirts of Bremerhaven. Some
demonstrators handed flowers to
police.
The demonstration was the start
of a three-day protest against
NATO deployment of new U.S.
nuclear missiles in Western
Europe. It was the first of a series
of anti-nuclear protests scheduled
around West Germany in the next
10 days in what the peace move
ment bills as its "hot autumn."
Grenade hits
U.S. guard
BEIRUT — A terrorist in a
speeding car hurled a hand
grenade at U.S. Marines guarding
the temporary American Embassy
offices in west Beirut Thursday
evening, wounding one of the
Marines.
Embassy spokesman John
Stewart said the grenade was pit
ched at the main Marine security
checkpoint in front of the
Duraford building about 7:30 p.m.
(1:30 p.m. EDT).
A spokesman for the 1,600-man
U.S. Marine contingent in Beirut,
Maj. Robert Jordan, said the
wounded Marine was a member
of the peacekeeping force guar
ding the embassy and not one of
the State Department's regular
embassy guards.
Jordan said the Marine was
wounded "in the upper left leg
and ankle" and evacuated to the
Marine compound at Beirut air
port where he was treated and
reported "in good condition. "
Four Marines have been killed
and 40 wounded in grenade at
tacks and bombardments on the
positions of the U.S.
peacekeepers since Lebanon's
latest round of violence began
Aug. 28.
EPA OKs
lindane use
WASHINGTON — The En
vironmental Protection Agency on
Thursday abandoned efforts to
outlaw most uses of lindane, a
cancer-causing chemical and one
of the most popular pesticides.
Under the Carter administra
tion, the agency had pronosed in
1980 to cancel all but a few minor
uses of lindane because
laboratory tests with animals
showing it caused cancer, birth
defects and acute toxicity to
aquatic wildlife.
However, in the final regula
tions Thursday the agency said it
was baning use of lindane only in
smoke fumigation devices and as
a dip to control pests on dogs.
Lindane is one of the most
popular pesticides. The EPA
estimated in 1980 that 126 million
Americans are exposed to the
compound each year. There are
557 products registered for use
containing lindane.
Lindane is used in homes and
gardens to control insects and
fight termites and on farms to
treat seeds in storage and fight in
sects on fruit and vegetable crops
and on livestock.

three local residents linked arms
in a ring around a large black
walnut Thursday to protect it from
a chainsaw.
Richard Morgan, chair, of the
Medford Centennial Commission,
angrily resigned his post
after police removed him, his wife
and another woman from the two
foot-thick tree trunk estimated to
be 75 years old.
After police removed the pro
testors from the tree, Morgan
went to his home across the street
and came out with a briefcase he
said contained plans for the up
coming centennial.
"If you're going to cut these
trees, you can grow your own
centennial celebration,” Morgan
said, emptying the papers on his
front lawn.
The protestors were part of a
group of area residents who have
been fighting a losing court battle
to halt plans to widen Crater Lake
Avenue, claiming the work would
destroy the historical character of
the neighborhood.
The issue was expected to be
brought before a meeting of the
City Council.
His business
isn't dead
INDIANAPOLIS — With Hallo
ween coming up, Charles Owens'
company has a lay-away plan fit
for just about anyone alive — rent
a-casket.
“Theatrical companies, office
parties, birthdays, country clubs,"
Owens said Thursday. "We rent
for any purpose you would dream
of — except burial. Our units are
brand new and we wouldn't want
to get into that end of it."
Since he first placed a tiny
newspaper ad a week ago, Owens
— "an auctioneer by trade" —
estimates he's had 65 responses.
The ad says in capital letters
"CASKET RENTALS" and gives no
other information but two phone
numbers.
Owens, 35, said he got the ren
tal idea after liquidating "one of
the larger funeral homes in the
city.
"We had some caskets left over
and my two partners asked what
we were going to do with the
caskets. They started coming up
with some ideas, and I said 'Why
don't we rent them?' The three of
us talked it over and decided we
could make a go of it," he said.
Owens, who expects
"somewhat of a letdown" in
business after Halloween, has 14
rentable caskets, but only six or
seven were available Thursday.
The rest were rented. He
estimated he has rented "at least
10 caskets" since he started
