BENCHES BUILT Arnigos Internacional,
a group of people in the community interested 1
in the Mexican nationals, gathered at the
First Methodist church Thursday for work
night. Armed with an assortment of tools
the group built benches for the barracks
grounds where Mexican laborers live. Other
Group Organizes
To Assist, Help
Mexican Nationals
"Trabajahdo para los Inter
nacionale amistad," the Mexican
nationals would say, but in Med
ford they call it working for in
ternational friendship. That is
the purpose of Arnigos Inter
nacional, a group of people in
the community interested in the
Mexican' nationals.
Arnigos Internacional has been
meeting weekly since July 5 on
Thursday at 8 p.m. in the coun
ty courthouse auditorium. Last
Thursday evening a work night
was held, and those attending,
armed with hammers, saws, and
other tools, built benches for
the barracks grounds where the
Mexican laborers live.
"It -gust grew," said Bill
Walker, student minister at the
First Methodist . church and
chairman of the group, .when
asked about Arnigos Internacion
al.. Program Started
It all started in June when
Walker preached on world peace.
A member of the congregation,
Charles Anderson, was interest
ed. After talking with Walker
they decided to bring world
peace down to the local level
by helping the nationals who
harvest the crops in the valley
each summer. "
At first the Social Action
group at the church met to dis
cuss the problem. Then, not
wishing to limit the organization
to the one church, they changed
to a civic group that is open
to all interested people in the
community. An average of 15
persons have attended the meet-,
ings.
Lumber Donated
The lumber used for the six
benches made Thursday even
ing was donated by Elk Lumber
company. Tools were either
brought' by those attending or
loaned. The group plans other
work nights.
Arnigos Internacional has been
unsuccessful in locating a place
in Medford that could be usea
as a service center. They hope
eventaally to have a full time
staff, including translators, avail
able throughout the day and
evening, at a place where the
Mexicans may relax and enjoy
their native music or find help
in routine daily matters.
