Banned Books Week
Noted At OHS Library
by Lynn Dickey
Too much sex. The glorification of
witchcraft. Intolerance for hunters.
Religion, Halloween. A sad ending.
A lack of family values. Racism.
These are all reasons used to
challenge or ban books from schools
and libraries across the U.S. in the
past year.
In Brooklyn Center, Minnesota,
the BIBLE was challenged because
it’s “lewd, indecent and violent con-
tents are hardly suitable for young
students.” A children’s book, THE
CABBAGES ARE CHASING THE
RABBITS, was challenged because
it might breed intolerance for
hunters in children’s minds. In Ir-
vine, California, students received
copies of FARENHEIT 451, Brad-
bury’s novel about bookburning and
censorship, with scores of words
blanked out. In Duval, Florida,
SNOW WHITE is restricted to
students with parental permission
because of its graphic violence.
Books like these, challenged or
banned on similar grounds during
the past year, will be displayed at
the Odem High School Library dur-
ing Banned Books Week--
Celebrating the Freedom To Read,
September 25th through October
2nd. Most of these books are well
known but are considered dangerous
or objectionable by individuals or
groups who would deny others ac-
cess to them.
Odem High School Library is par-
ticipating in Banned Books Week-
Celebrating the Freedom to Read,
which is co-sponsored by the
American Library Association, The
American Society of Journalists and
Authors, and the Foundation for
Free Expression among others. The
sponsoring organizations believe
that most would-be “book ban-ers”
act with what they consider to be the
highest motives which often include
protecting themselves, their
families and communities from
perceived injustices and evils and
preserving the values and ideals
they would have the entire society
embrace. The result, however, is

the environment and creating jobs in
Texas.
That’s the message of the
Railroad Commission of Texas’ new
newspaper and radio advertising
campaign that kicks off statewide
this week. The campaign is part of
the Commission’s legislative man-
date to educate Texans about pro-
pane’s benefits as an environmental-
ly beneficial alternative fuel.
Commission studies show the in-
itial expense of installing a propane-
fueled water heater is no higher than
other types, but the return on invest-
ment is much faster. According to
Chairman James E. Nugent, fuel-
cost savings recoup the initial pur-
chase price in about two years.
Validation Of
Lambs Is Set
For October 2
4-H and FFA lamb exhibitors for
the 1994 A&H Show are reminded
that lamb validation will take place
between 9 a.m. and 12 noon Satur-
day, Oct. 2, at the San Patricio Coun-
ty Fairgrounds in Sinton.
Lambs will be classified during
this time and must be validated in
order to be exhibited during the A&H
Show in January.
PSAT To Be
Offered
October 12
Odem High School Counseling
Department will offer the PSAT Test
for any interested sophomore or
junior on October 12 in the High
School Library.
The PSAT allows students to com-
pare their ability to do college work,
with the abilities of other college
bound students. The test also gives
students practice for taking future
tests like the SAT because of the
similarities of questions and scores.
Taking the PSAT also helps
students plan for college. It can help
get an idea of how they might do on a
college admission test. In addition,
the PSAT can provide colleges with
names of students interested in their
curriculum.
The fee for the test is $7.50 and can
be paid up to October 12th. For more
information concerning the PSAT,
call Jim Brannigan at 36B-3401.
“That’s about a 50 percent annual
return on investment,” Nugent said,
“which is considerably more than
you get at the bank.” Assuming
typical delivered costs of 82 cents
per gallon for propane, savings over
the 10-year life of the water heater
could total more than $2,000, Nugent
added.
A major reason for propane’s
economy is its efficiency compared
to other methods of energy produc-
tion. More than two-thirds of the
energy generated by oil or coal-
burning electric utility companies
literally goes up in smoke and is
therefore lost at the source. Pro-
pane, a clean-burning primary fuel,
is nearly 2V2 times as efficient,
delivering 87 percent of its energy
directly to the burner tip.
Propane is widely distributed and
readily available throughout Texas.
“Texas has a state-wide propane
production and distribution network
in place. The more people take ad-
vantage of propane as a domestic
and commercial heating fuel, the
more jobs that network creates.”
Nabers added a new market worth
$65 million a year to the Texas
economy would arise if the 60 to 70
percent of all propane-heated Texas
households that heat water elec-
trically switched over to propane.
Propane technology has also
become more efficient in recent
years. Today’s propane water
heater uses one-third less fuel than
heaters manufactured as recently as
five years ago.

Texas Railroad Commission’s Alter-
native Fuels Division at 1-800-64-
