Veteran Easter Seal Telethon Volunteer Charles
Ford, left, was back on the job again this year, an­
swering the telephones to take pledges to help the
handicapped; among others who participated in the
20'A-hour event at Washington Square were Mike
Colton of Gresham and Wes Long, Hillsboro, both
among Oregon DeMolay members who helped out in
a variety of ways. About 200 of the youth group
I!
members assisted; Telethon statewide raised more
than $310,00. which will help fund Easter Seal ser­
vices ranging from an equipment loan program to
Camp Easter Seal, the Easter Seal School and Treat­
ment Center, mobile physical therapists, a preschool
speech and hearing clinic and some community-
based programs. The annual Easter Seal Appeal,
now underway, continues through April 15th.

Northeast Coalition forms Tool Bank program
Interest has been expressed in the
Northeast Community in forming a
cooperative or Tool Bank Program,
which could lend the tools to neigh­
borhood residents to maintain their
own property, like checking a book
out o f the library.
C arl D alton, employed by the
Northeast C oalition o f Neighbor­
hoods, Inc., to coordinate a program
o f this type. D alton is seeking
donations o f tools from businesses,
residents and n o n -p ro fit orga­
nizations, in order to establish a
Tool Bank Program of this nature in
the Northeast Community.
Families, senior citizens, etc., need
help as they attempt to restore decay­
ing properties, including old, large
Victorian homes. At this time there is
no place in the area to rent or borrow
a tool. Some people arc older resi­
dents who are trying «0 remain in
their homes as long as possible, but
find this difficult when they cannot
maintain the property. The problem
is caused by the fact that many per­
sons cannot afford their own tools.
These persons are able to perform
much o f the m aintenance w ork
required on their homes themselves.
Thus if they had access to tools they
would not require the services o f
others in order to maintain their own
property. As a consequence o f the
lack o f access to tools many homes
are not maintained to the standard
desired by th e ir owners and the
community as a whole.
Tools that are needed include lawn
mowers, hedge clippers, saws, lad­
ders, other carpentry tools, and
plumbing tools.
For further information interested
persons should contact Carl Dalton,
Northeast C oalition o f Neighbor­
hoods, Inc., Tool Bank Program,
4815 N.E. 7th Avenue, 248-4575, be­
tween the hours o f 9:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
