New Hampshire plans a planetarium to honor Christa McAuliffe. The international outpouring of grief that began last Jan. 28, when the space shuttle exploded, has been channeled into dozens of projects over the past year to remember the astronauts in song, scholarships, paintings and monuments. The largest is the Challenger Cen ter project taken on by the crew members’ families. They are trying to raise $50 mil lion for a space science teaching lab oratory in Washington and a re gional center in Houston, and to provide scholarships and sabbaticals for teachers to attend. About $250,000 had been raised by Jan. 6, and the families hope businesses will donate 10 percent of their sales on Wednesday’s anniversary. The Tennessee Education Asso ciation is sponsoring Tennessee Space Week this week, with lessons geared toward space. Television and radio stations in the state plan space quizzes and space-related news cov erage. The state also set up a teach ing scholarship. In another major effort, about $1.2 million has been collected for the Challenger astronauts’ 11 chil dren, aged 2 to 25. A month after the blast, children at Livingston Park Elementary School in North Brunswick, N.J., raised $400 for the fund through a bake sale. Tami Quinn raised $6,000 for NASA in the “Kids for Space” fund she established.

The Soviet Union named craters on Venus for McAuliffe, the high school teacher who was to have been the first “ordinary” American in space, and Judith Resnik, the only other woman on the flight that ended in disaster little more than a minute after liftoff. The Paris-based International As tronomical Union named asteroids after all seven crewmembers. In Florida’s Brevard County, home of Cape Canaveral, schools have been named for McNair, McAuliffe and the “Challenger 7.” Auburn, Wash., where Richard Scobee grew up, has a Dick Scobee Elementary School and a Scobee scholarship fund. The municipal air port was renamed for him, and a Scobee mural hangs at his high school. In Akron, Ohio, Resnik’s Fire stone High School this month named a library addition for her and has established a scholarship fund in her name. Children in West Virginia col lected pennies for a statue of McAu liffe. And in Bath, N.Y., Haverling High School students raised $17,000 in their “Pennies for Space — Reb uild the Spirit” fund. They plan to ask the president where to send the money. In Winston-Salem, N.C., Jona than Pitts, 12, who wants to be an as tronaut, spearheaded a drive that raised money for a shuttle mock-up and scholarship.

In Beaufort, N.C., Michael Smith’s hometown, the airport where Smith learned to fly as a teen ager is now Michael J. Smith Field. Many scholarships and educatio nal awards have been named for McAuliffe.

In five State of the Union mes sages, Reagan has painted portraits of an America as confident and buoyant as the image he presents when he steps to the rostrum in the high-ceilinged chamber of the House of Representatives.

Aides say Reagan will deal only briefly in the speech with the crisis brought on by secret arms sales to Iran and the diversion of some of the profits to aid anti-communist re bels in Nicaragua. Some in Congress, however, say this could be the most important part of the speech, arguing that the president must assume more re- we listen, we care, we help Free pregnancy tests concerned counselors Rush for tax breaks pushes home sales to record high Brazos Valley Crisis Pregnancy Service We’re local! 1301 Memorial Dr. 24 hr.

Reagan has denied that the arms sales were a swap for the release of hostages and has said he knew noth ing of the diversion of funds to the rebels he has often acclaimed as “freedom fighters.” Both the House and the Senate have created special committees to look into these contentions and other aspects of what is called the Iran-Contra affair. Much of Reagan’s speech will out line his legislative agenda, following the constitutional command to re port to the lawmakers and “recom mend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Among these measures are ex pected to be proposals to overhaul the welfare system and the federal budget process. Both are familiar Reagan themes, which he has pushed with mixed success in pre vious State of the Union messages. This year’s speech will mark the president’s first major personal ap pearance since his Jan. 5 surgery for an enlarged prostate. Doctors say his recovery, expected to take six weeks, is proceeding satisfactorily. WASHINGTON (AP) — A rush to take advantage of expiring tax breaks helped push sales of existing homes to an all-time monthly high in December, closing out the best year for home resales since 1979, a real estate trade group said Monday. The National Association of Real tors said existing single-family homes were sold at a seasonally ad justed annual rate of 4.17 million units last month, 6.6 percent higher than November and the highest monthly sales pace on record. Analysts attributed the big surge to unusually warm December weather and a rush by some home- owners to sell while their profits would still be taxed at favorable capi tal gain rates before the new tax law took effect on Jan. 1. “This change was particularly im portant to sellers of higher-priced properties who wanted to take their capital gains under the old tax rules,” association economist Glenn Crellin said. For all of 1986, sales of existing homes totaled 3.57 million units, 10.9 percent higher than 1985 and the best annual sales total since 1979, when 3.83 million existing homes were sold. Analysts attributed the strength last year to a dramatic drop in mort gage rates, which fell below double digits for the first time this decade. Currently, fixed-rate mortgages are averaging 9.1 percent, the lowest level since January 1978, according to a weekly survey by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. A belief that mortgage rates will hold at this level or decline even more in coming months is leading economists to forecast that sales of both newly built and existing single family homes will rise even higher in 1987. Sales of new homes for 1986 are expected to top 700,000 units when December figures are released early next month.
