Show The Salt Lake Tribune Educational Toys Available at Library Educational toys, such as rattles and shape; sorters, for infants to are available for the first tune through the Salt Lake County Library System. The toys can be obtained only at the Whitmore Library, 2197 E. 7000 South, according to Marsha coordinator for the children and young adult department at the library. It will be offered to other county libraries if the program proves successful, she said. It's likely the program will get an overwhelming response, since it was instigated by public demand, Mrs. Leclair-Marzolf- s said. For the past 10 months, the library system has tried to obtain the 77 toys from the National Toy Association. The county gave the system $2,000 to buy 30 of the toys, U. out. rattles, crib items, shape sorters, sound boxes and books. Many of the toys are being bought through the toy association but companies such as Discovery Toys, are donating some of the items to the library. "This is not a new concept, it's been around for years," Mrs. said. Ia fact, there is a private organization located in the Lincoln School in Murray that has loaned toys to residents for more than a decade. Educational toys are very helpful to children and adults, she said. "Children learn through play. They learn to work through play. Cre Lecla- ir-Marzolfs Obtaining the toys is simple for patrons who have library cards. Parents can request the library's catalogue and pick the toy they wish to borrow. The limit is two toys per family, Mrs. Leclair-Marzolf- s said. The service is offered every day and the toys may be kept for two said weeks. Mrs. Leclair-Marzolf- s the library system requests that parents return the toys directly to the circulation desk, not the film or book drop bins, and that they clean the toys before returning them. "It's a good way to rotate toys, and children get to try out the toy before their parents purchase it," she said. tioning. Anything we get from it will be free science," he said. Uranus is the seventh planet furthest from the sun and is considered the midway mileage point in the solar system, he said. The planet is 1.8 billion miles from Earth. Only Neptune and Pluto are further away. It is 4.1 times larger than Earth and 14.5 times more dense. Its moons are Titanla, Oberon, Ariel, Umbriel, Miranda and the newest one, found in December of last year is simply named 1985 Ul. Little else is known about the small bluish world. Uranus was discovered by accident by Sir William Herschel in 1781. He thought it was a comet until his calculations proved it was a new world. The planet had been noticed before, as 12 star charts from the period showed, but only Sir Herschel proved it was a planet. He also found two of Uranus moons. In recent years, however, more knowledge has been obtained, again, by accident. In March 1977, Uranus eclipsed the earth. From that, Mr. Jarvis said, scientists were hoping to learn the size of the planet and its components. They found out more than that. As the planet started to eclipse the National Earth, a specially-desig- n Aeronautics and Space Administration airplane called the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, recorded four small "wigets" on its scope. The were four rings. After the planet had passed Earth, the observatorys scope recorded five more rings. Prior to this, scientists had not even guessed that Uranus possessed rings. Each ring is not more than six miles wide and their mass is less than 60 miles deep. The finding of rings, he said, is significant. Scientists knew about Saturn's rings but were surprised to discover that Jupiter also possessed rings, because oi this observation, Mr. Jarvis said, scientists are now calculating that Neptune will have rings because it is a large, gaseous nine-plan- wi-ge- ts 1 DA7 ()H(i the assignment of active duty aviation officers, limited duty officers and warrant offficers to billets alloat and ashore.

Halley's comet is becoming more visible and Voyager 2 will be sending thousands of pictures of the planet Uranus. Halleys comet can be seen, through the aid of the University of Utah physics departments telescope, through the end of January. As it moves westward toward the sun, the comet should brighten and develop a dust tail. The best time to look is at the end of evening twilight, said Hansen Planetarium education coordinator Seth Jarvis. On Sunday, the comet was 13 degrees north of the crescent moon and from Monday to Jan. 26 the comet will be eight degrees north of Jupiter. After January, the comet will be lost in the sun's glare until late February. The comet passes on the far side of the sun and reaches perihelion (the closest approach to the sun) on Feb. 9. From late February to early April the comet is best seen as morning begins, about 90 minutes before sunrise. But the forthcoming pictures of Uranus will be as unique as the chance to view Halley's comet. On Jan. 24, starting at approximately 11 a.m. MST, Voyager 2 will be transmitting for six intense hours thousands of pictures of the planet as it comes within 60,000 miles of the surface, Mr. Jarvis said. From these pictures, scientists from around the world hope to answer several questions about the planet's composition, rings, magnetic field, moons and weather. Voyager 2, which was launched in August 1977, has taken more than eight years traveling at nearly 40.000 mph to reach Uranus, a planet which the probe was originally not supposed to reach, Mr. Jarvis said. Voyager 2 is old, arthritic and half blind. It's remarkable it's still func 15, of U. Graduate to Become a Rear Admiral Capt David K.

Voyager 2, providing it doesn't break down, should reach Neptune by 1989. More was discovered last Novem-'- . ber when Voyager 2's two telephoto television cameras photographed an apparent icy fog over the planets south pole. Since then, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have been debating whether the weathqr pattern exists or is a product of extreme computer processing and photo enhancement, since the image was observed when 13 to 30 photographs were on .each other and en- one-of-a-klttfa- tc.

The pattern appears as a dark area around the planets south pole, which is facing the sun since, unlike Earth and most other planets, Uranus lies angle. Each of Uranus' four seasons last for 21 years, Mr. Jarvis added. Voyager 2's latest photos should answer that question as well as others dealing with the duration of Uranus' rotation and mystery of why the planet's rings have not dissipated over the years. Mr. Jarvis said Voyager 2 may show, like it did in its investigation of Saturn, that Uranus has "shepherd nioons" around its rings. These moons, with their gravitational push and pull, are keeping Saturn's rings together. During Voyager 2's transmission, powerful radio telescope stations around the world will be keeping record. Currently, the stations, located in Spain, Australia and California, are locked onto Voyager 2, waiting for its transmission. The transmission is expected to go well unless a rain storm occurs over the receiving stations. In that case everything will be lost, Mr. Jarvis said. After leaving Uranus, Voyager 2 will go to Neptune, take more photos and then fly over the top of the planet and.exit the solar system. If the probe is still functioning, its last information will be about the boundaries of the solar system. That will be toward the end of the century. at a v ColorTrak 2000 ; Monitor-Receivwith Digital Command RCA 25 diagonal er Full Spectrum TV Stereo sCund built-i- n a rca Colofflrak Digital command Remote contrdl Cojop&ak Monitor-Receiv- er 2000, Clearance Sale Prices 2-SPE- AUTOMATIC DRYER ED WASHER Permanent Press Cycle Regular Cycle 3 cycles 3 wash temperatures Soak cycle Air Fluff Cycle Midvale Dedicates New Public Works Facility 1 MIDVALE Out with the old and in with the new.
