SAGE peace trekkers |

launch new newsletter

By MICHAEL JONES

Tee years ago, four Montreal high
School students took a year off school to
travel across Canada talking to other stu-
dents about the threat of nuclear war. What
they learned wasa story of fear: three out of
four students believed that a nuclear war
would occur in their lifetime — some had
€ven considered not having families because
of these apprehensions.

The tour over, the four, known as SAGE
(Students Against Global Extermination)
wanted to continue the dialogue they began
with their peers and The Paper Crane, a
quarterly newsletter for youth and students,
was launched.

The name originates with the story of
Sadako Sasaki, a young Japanese girl who

died of leukemia caused by the radiation
from the atomic bomb which dropped on
her city of Hiroshima, Aug. 6, 1945.

A Japanese legend holds that if one
makes 1,000 cranes out of paper, the gods
will grant their wish. Sadako began folding
cranes, but died with only 640 completed.
Her friends folded the rest, and they buried
Sadako with 1,000 cranes.

The paper crane has since become an
international symbol of hope for youth in
the nuclear age.

This hope is evident in the newsletter’s
approach. It aims to show students that
peace is possible in today’s world. Through
a fundamental belief in our democratic sys-
tem, The Paper Crane aims to eliminate the
pessimism in today’s youth. Instead of pres-
enting disarmament as an issue that is too
large and complex to handle, it offers con-
crete ways in which individuals and groups
of students can do to bring about a peaceful
world.

“We recognize that young people had
little to do with creating these problems, but
have everything to do with the solutions,”
says editor Kelly McDowell. “As students
become more active, their confidence and
competence soars, positively affecting all
aspects of their lives. Young people no
longer. have to sit back and watch their
futures dwindle in the nuclear shadow.”

An annual subscription to The Paper
Crane (four issues) is $10. Write 555 Bloor
Street West, Toronto, Ontario MS5S 1Y6 or

Michael Jones is assistant editor of The
Paper Crane.
