In Belize, they find freedom in the Valley of Peace, a safe and peaceful home. Charles McElroy, a Texas A&M graduate student in the geography department, is studying Salvadoran migration and mobility patterns in Belize. He says he has visited The Valley of Peace three times since it opened in March 1982. “It’s an interesting, contemporary issue that needed some attention, so I decided to . . . (study) it,” McElroy says. He says Belize, a newly indepen dent and non-aligned nation, began to feel the pressure of increasing numbers of Salvadoran refugees in 1981 because the country’s borders remain open. To offset this influx, The Valley of Peace was started by the United Nations High Commission for Refu gees (UNHCR) and the Belize gov ernment to give the refugees land and the opportunity to provide for themselves in a peaceful atmo sphere. The Valley of Peace refugee camp is not an encampment. The Salvado rans are free to come and go. The camp lies near the capitol of Belize and is comprised of 15,000 acres of tropical vegetation called Belizian “bush”. The UNHCR and the Belizian government developed the area to incorporate the Salvadorans into Be lizian society and to provide a per manent dwelling for the refugees. Instead of having refugees strain the Belizian economy, the govern ment gave them fertile land so they could produce food for themselves and add to the agricultural produc tivity of Belize, McElroy says. “Because the Salvadorans are an agriculturally based people, The Valley of Peace works well,” he says. “The people are happy there, and they don’t want to return to El Salva dor.” The Valley of Peace plan calls for one-third Belizians and two-thirds Salvadorans to settle and work on the acreage. “They have just about reached their objective of 100 Salvadoran families and 50 Belizian families at Charles McElroy stands in front of a map of Belize. Photo by Greg Btiltj; The Valley of Peace,” McElroy says. “They’re agrarian groups ana work well together.” The Salvadorans sought refuge in Belize because of its proximity to their country and its friendly reputa tion. The refugees say they left their homeland because the war was af fecting their lives and livelihood, McElroy says. Through a survey questionnaire he distributed at The Valley of Peace in 1983, McElroy has been able to come closer to the objectives of his thesis. “I’m looking at the details behind who, why, and how these refugees went to Belize,” he says. “They’re all applying for residency in Belize — they’re all happy there, and Belize is happy with the refugees at The Val ley of Peace.” McElroy says The Valley of Peace has a democratic government. The UNHCR and Belizian government have organizational and managerial control over the camp, but its people have an elected village council. The settlement works as an agri cultural cooperative with Belize, a country that has always found the need to improve agricultural pro duction for its population. “They (the settlers at the camp) al ready produce enough rice for ex port,” McElroy says. The Valley of Peace is a centrally planned community that resembles any community from the refugees’ homeland. The settlers live in thatched homes, draw their own wa ter and attend schools where theytt I ceive bilingual education. Most Belizians speak Spanish,bm! the Salvadorans do not speak mutij English, the national language oij Belize, McElroy says. The village has a soccer ieai| which competes nationally. “And tney’re good!” McElml says. The villagers also are representfil| at the annual agricultural fair, oik| of Belize’s largest happenings. “They’re just as much a partofj the gig as anyone else,” McEb| says. The refugee program is welcoiwl throughout Belize. The people am! the government support it, he says. CHILD CARE Specializing newborn thru 2 yrs. Limited openings. Sugar-N-Spice. 3404 Cavitt.

Most public housing officials say community attitudes have forced them to house blacks and whites sep arately in the past and will make it difficult to integrate them in the fu ture. “We only put blacks where they wanted to be,” said Alice Dougherty, manager of public housing for the city of Cleveland, located about 30 miles northeast of Houston. “Is that wrong?” she asked. Dougherty said the Cleveland public housing authority for the past 20 years has put black and white res idents in separate projects because that is the way both races wanted it. “Their argument is legitimate as hell if you ask me,” she said. “They just wanted to live with their own.” But Cleveland officials are chang ing their policy because of an order issued last week by U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice of Tyler. Justice found the Housing and Urban Development agency’s poli cies discriminate against minorities. He ordered HUD to respond to a desegregation plan that is part of a lawsuit filed in 1980 by hundreds of black East Texas public housing resi dents. The judge also listed 36 East Texas counties — including Liberty County, in which Cleveland is lo cated — that are not in compliance with federal laws barring segregated public housing. “Everybody’s got a right to live where they want to live,” Dougherty said. “We are moving blacks into white sections and whites into blacks. We’ve had some refusals, but those people are being told they have to move out of public housing.” Housing authorities in Livingston and Corrigan agreed that they only segregated blacks and whites be cause that is the way residents wanted it. DeOrville Evans, manager of Cor rigan’s housing authority, said pub lic residents “flat told us” they pre ferred segregation.
