She said people generally don't realize that chemistry is used to produce, things like shampoo, toothpaste, clothing and Tupperware. But when most people think of chemicals, she said, they think of substances suchs crack heroin or the substances used in warfare like Agent Orange or na- paimr Even though the event has been designed to promote Chemistry, and its importance with everyday life, will be the focus of a special display and demonstration at the Butte Plaza Mall this weekend. The event is being coordinated by the Montana Tech chemistry department and will be held in conjunction with the Butte Education Fair, said Andrea Stierle, an jnstructor with the Tech chemistry department and statewide coordinator for Natiorial Chemistry Day, which is Friday.

The informational displays," which will be set Up on Friday and Saturdayrwill feature video tapes on different aspects of chemistry and coloring contest pictures completed by Butte elementary school students. The chemistry demonstration, which will take place Saturday afternoon, will feature some of the interesting and entertaining aspects of the science. Don Stierle, a tech chemistry professor, will show how chemistry is used in making nylon, asprin and how different chemicals react with each other in unique and colorful ways. ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, high schools and even colleges are taking part in the event, said Mrs. Stierle.

Elementary and high school teachers have been encouraged by Mrs. Stierle to put together special lessons on chemistry or have students design posters or- write essays on the importance of chemistry. Tech students will even have the opportunity to sit in on some open lectures on the subject, she said. VX MA, the benefits of chemistry, the American Chemical Society realizes there are some risks involved with the benefits and the group is promoting chemical safety.

If stored safely and used carefully, it can be used' to eliminate a kitchen nightmare. But -it can be a dangerous, or even lethal, substance if spilled on the skin, or swallowed by a child. Mrs. Stierle said she hopes that teachers, students and the general public takes advantage of the events to learn more about chemistry and how it affects them. "This is such a good opportunity," she said.

"To just let it go by is kind of silly." The event is being sponsored by state colleges and universities and the American Chemical Society.

This is a requirement of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. About two-thirds of all children already have a Social Security number, so they will not have to obtain another one. But parents whose children are among the one-third without Social Security numbers should apply forj jiumber for any child age 5 or older. Adults who are listed as dependents on tax returns also must have a Social Security number, if they don't already. "It would be wise to obtain a Social Security number for a dependent this year," Tahija said.

Montana State University Dean of Libraries Noreen Alldredge said the Association of College and Research Libraries recently concluded that the MSU library can't adequately support doctoral level coursework and research in several of MSU's key departments, including veterinary scienceL plant pathology, electrical engineering, education and agricultural economics. She also said the MSU library hasn't subscribed to a new magazine or journal in five years. University of Montana Dean of Libraries Ruth Patrick also criticized UM's libraries saying they haven't subscribed to a new research journal in 11 years.

"I hope and I beg you to take a plan of action," Patrick told the regents. If you don there win De no institutions left for the presidents to lead or for you to oversee." Alldredge and Patrick said soaring costs are even preventing the University System libraries from keeping the magazines and journals they now have. Hikes in prices for magazines and journals, ranging from 15 to 30 percent in 1986 alone, are the main cause of the libraries' prob western schools whose budget for materials declined last year MSU's library material budget declined 6 percent, from $833,467 to $782,097 from the 84-85 school year to the 85-86 year, Alldredge said.

The at MSU for their monthly meeting, acknowledged the libraries' problems, but they were uncertain what to do about it.

At the same time, they're dealing with other financial problems of the including declining enrollments and relatively low-paid university faculty members.

Would you tell me more? If you're blind or disabled you may be able to take a job and earn wages or a salary without losing your eligibility. Certain work-related expenses are not counted in determining if your income disqualifies you from receiving SSI checks. For instance, if you need a wheelchair in order to work, the cost of your wheelchair and batteries, if you use them, are not counted in your income.

Even if your earnings -do exclude you from being able to continue to receive monthly checks, you may still be able to continue your medical assistance.

Since vou have less than 10 vears of railroad servu-e anv work-, credits you earned from the railroad after 1936 will be combined with your Social Security credits.

We don't pay benefits to people for the month in which they die whether they die on the 1st, 15th, or the last day. However, you may recall that your husband did get benefits for the month in which he became eligible, whether that was on the 1st day, or the 15th, of the last day of the" month. And, for those folks who have survivors eligible for benefits, those benefits begin with the month of the worker's death, regardless of the actual date of death.

Two appeals earlier forced the federal agency to recall the sale.

The OSR Darn Yew Timber Sale was authorized originally on Aug, 21 to remove blowdown trees left to reseed previously logged areas. The appeals were filed by Friends of the Wild Swan, an environmental group, and Kenneth Reick, whose family lives near the proposed sale area. Both claimed that an environmental assessment was required. A Flathead National Forest official said an environmental analysis has been finished and an assessment done early next week with hopes of awarding a contract in time to harvest the blowdown timber this fall.

The Madison Gallatin Alliance and Gallatin Wildlife Association, in a letter to acting forest supervisor Ken Gallik, asked for an environmental assessment of the proposed Sourdough timber sale. Wildlife association President Richard Day said the proposed sale calls for a new road and clearcuts in an area south of Mystic Lake that is prime elk habitat, and for Joseph Miller, 39 Joseph R. Miller of Route 2, Rocker, died Sunday morning in Rocker from an apparent suicide. Emily Sieger, MGA vice president, said conservationists also are concerned about conflicts between logging and recreational users.

The Bozeman Creek drainage is one of the most heavily used non-motorized drainages outside of wilderness areas in the Gallatin Forest, she said.
