evening of ac tivities and remem

PeaceWorks and Lane County
Aineric an Peace Test have
observed the event eight years
straight with speakers, music
and other activities.
Among the speakers were
Steve Johnson, a teacher at the
University, ns well as a promi
nent figure in helping make
Eugene and Lane County a
nuclear-free zone, and City
Council member Barbara Keller,
an outspoken advocate' of
nue lear non-proliferation,
Along with the speakers and
activities was also a paper crane
folding and crane/candle float
ac ross the pond at Alton Baker
Park. Thom Alberti, coordinator
of Eugene PeaceWorks said the
c rane float has special signifi
cance,
"After the bombing in
Hiroshima, a little girl that was
dying of radiation poisoning
started folding paper cranes,
with tier goal iiemg a thousand,
which was supposed to bring
good luck," Alberti said.
"Unfortunately, before she
reac hed her goal, she died After
people heard about her death,
thousands of people sent paper
cranes to her memorial, and
many still firing paper cranes lo
her grave each year."
With tins in mind. Peace

Another great concern to

American Peace Test is putting
an end to nuclear incineration
programs Alberti said there are
nine places in the United States
(the closest being Umatilla.
Ore.) that store chemical
weapons.
The U S. government's plan to
dispose of the chemicals is to
incinerate them. This, Alberti
said, could lx; very hazardous.
"There are alternative meth
ods of destroying the chemi

ation for one. which will
neutralize the chemicals, which
is a much safer process."
Altierti said it is imperative to
remember the tragedy of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"It's important to keep the
memory of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki alive so that we don't
repeat our mistakes We need to
learn from the past," Alberti
said.
PeaceWorks and Lane Coun

planning future events, such as
the "Never Again Campaign,"
which is sending survivors of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki across
America to share experiences
and keep the memory alive.
PeaceWorks is now working
on finding places to house the
survivors For more information
