"I don't think that having a citizen there will add to the situation," spokesman Dick Henderson said.
Carbide officials said yesterday that 102 plant workers had been sent to a hospital for chest X-rays in May 1978 following a leak of phosgene, a chemical used to make the lethal gas.
GUTHERIE SAID THAT THERE had been emissions from the plant that had left a residue on the cars, causing the paint to run, and the heat was good — "seem to lose their hair for some reason."
"I had to put my dog put to sleep," he said. "I'd like to move but I'm laid off and I don't have extra money to relocate. The whole valley is like this."
Guthrie predicted yesterday that the India disaster would not have a long range effect on the people of Institute.
It's just about like it is all over the world. When it's time to be alarmed, they're alarmed. But after about a week or two, it will kind of calm down and blow over," he

From this seed of an image emerged the 179-page novel, "See No Love," which was nominated in the Regency category for The Times Magazine by the Romance Writers of America Club.
Cummings said, but it was one of the top four in its category.
She offers this advice to beginning authors:
"Just write and keep on writing. Don't let anyone discourage you, because if they can,
then you shouldn't be a writer anyway."
"I used to think the first 100 rejection slips were the hardest. But I don't know, they don't get any better."

Farrier said the department last week refilled the orange and white sand barrels at the edges of many streets, especially the hilly ones near campus.
some wetened the snow, as they threw snowballs and made snowmen in yesterday's first winter scene.
But by nightfall, temperatures began falling from their 30-degree mark. And with a wind chill index of five degrees below zero, solitary figures in caps and scurves could be seen hurrying past dark buildings.
A deserted slope near the Computer Center, the smoothness marred by sled runners, was one of the few reminders of the milder afternoon.

REASON#2 TO CALL A FRIEND:
YOURSANITY.
College life can have an unsettling effect on your state of mind. From sitting in strange classes to living with even stranger people.
Sometimes it feels like the only person you can really talk to is yourself.
Well, you know what they say about people who talk to themselves. So call an old friend instead.
Even if your friends are far away, they still know you and care about you. And they won't judge you by your choice of major or the condition of your laundry.
Calling a friend is the best therapy for the money, too. Call after 11 PM weeknights or between 11 PM Friday and 5 PM Sunday when rates are the lowest.
So call a friend or two, and tell them just how crazy it's been. You'll be surprised how sane it can make you feel.
