WINTERIZE YOUR SPRINKLING SYSTEM NOW
Lt:
State Senator Lana Pollack
(D-Ann Arbor), who will talk
on "Arms Race & the U.S.
Budget" at the Southfield
Library's Marcotte Room at
7:30 p.m.
With a wide range of both
ages and professions, the
women in Detroit's WAND
share one main goal. They
have collectively taken on the
responsibility of publicizing
the threat of nuclear war.
"It's something I once chose
not to think about," said
Detroit WAND co-
chairwoman Lorraine Lerner
of Southfield. "But now I
understand the seriousness of
the problem and the fact that
all of us can make a dif-
ference. It may seem
idealistic, but with the com-
bined efforts of peace groups,
the issue of disarmament has
gone from the back page to
the front page. It is now an
issue that all candidates must
respond to."
Through education and
political action, WAND is try-
ing to spread the word: Peace.
"We are experts on making
war, but we don't know how to
make peace," said Detroit
WAND chairwoman
Arlene Victor, who with
Lerner and a handful of local
women, started the Detroit
__chapter nearly two years ago.
She has since enlisted both
her mother and daughter,
three generations seeing eye
to eye on the urgency of disar-
mament. "We have nothing to
lose and everything to gain,"
said Victor.
WAND is spreading. They
are moving among the
grassroots population, hoping
to empower women to make
changes and understand that
they have the right to get
involved.
Members emphasize that
every individual can make a
difference. In their monthly
newsletter, the Detroit
chapter printed the slogan,
"It takes only one person to
stop a war. YOU."
Together, the group hopes to
spread even further, believing
that the more people
educated about the reality of
the arms race, the closer we
will come to peace.
"As a country, we barely
know how to live with peace,"
said Lerner. "It's alien to us.
We need to educate for peace."
WAND's efforts to educate
children are hindered by the
ever-growing numbers of
violent television shows,
movies and war toys. Accor-
ding to WAND literature, the
number of war-related toys
sold has increased 600 per-
cent since President Ronald
Reagan came to office. Across
the country, WAND chapters
have joined with other peace
