rerrorist Group Says
US To Be Next Target

Local Tests Vital To
Future Of Perma Soil
Perma Soil being tested in pot holes on Perry streets,
has the potential of providing another line at the Charles
Machine Works and eventually could increase employment
in the local industry.
Emory Yant, product specialist at CMW, told Chamber
of Commerce members at the quarterly luncheon Wednes-
day at the Cherokee Strip Restaurant, that testing of the
product is being done with cooperation from the city of
Perry and Norman Boone, street commissioner.
Perma Soil is a soil stabilizer which creates a bond
within soil that will not sink or recede as vehicles drive over
it.
Within 45 minutes to an hour after application, the pro-
duct sets up and is ready for use.
An impetus is provided by a “Pot Hole of the Week”
gimmick in Perry in which citizens are invited to report
their favorite pot hole and the one chosen will be repaired
in the Perma Soil test. The person who suggests the win-
ning pot hole will receive a small gift from CMW.
Nominations for the pot hole contest should be mailed
to Perma Soil Project, Box 66, Perry, Okla. 73077.
Yant said numerous suggestions have been received
and 38 pot holes already have been repaired. More than 150
others are targeted for the treatment.
A three-man simulated work crew works with street
department employes.
The beauty of the project is that obnoxious pot holes
are being eliminated in the community "which may even-
tually lead to Perry being known as the “City Without Pot
Holes,” Yant continued.
When testing is completed, Perma Soil will be offered
for sale throughout the nation through the Ditch Witch sales
organization.
Yant commented that pot hole patching might not sound
like a big deal, but he pointed out in Manhattan alone there
are 500,000 pot holes.
The new product is a silica base hydrogel that works
on all types of soils, and bonding takes place even under
water. The product is cost effective since it reduces time
spent in servicing pot holes and works on muddy soil as well
as soil which is loose and dry. The product is non-toxic to
plants, animals and humans.
Yant illustrated his talk with video showing Perma Soil
being used for several types of applications.
"Perma Soil is an example of programs at CMW which
continue to identify new products and contribute to growth
of the local plant and the accompanying workforce increase.
Lloyd Brown presided in the absence of C-C President
Roy Morris.
The meeting was thrown open to permit additional
nominations for Chamber of Commerce directorships.

Banned & Challenged
Books Will Be Shown
Weather
Books which have been banned or challenged will be
on display during regular hours of operation next week at
the Carnegie library in Perry.
The display will be held as part of Banned Books Week,
Sept. 22-27. Interested persons have been invited.
Banned Books Week is co-sponsored by the American
Library association, the American Booksellers association,
the Association of American Publishers, the American
Society of Journalists and Authors and the National Asso-
ciation of College Stores. It also has been endorsed by the
Center for the Book at the Library of Congress.
This year’s theme, “The Worlds of Information and
Technology: How Free?", looks at censorship of scientific
information. Two examples of censorship in this area are
the continuing controversy over Charles Darwin’s theory
of evolution written about in his book, “On the Origin of
Species” and the current governmental restrictions on ac-
cess to scientific and technological information.
Shel Silverstein’s “A Light in the Attic,” has been chal-
lenged for teaching children to disrespect authority. “The
American Heritage Dictionary’’ has been banned for objec-
tionable language. “The Diary of Anne Frank” has been
challenged because it is “a real downer”.
Recently banned or challenged books which are avail-
able at Carnegie library include "Adventures of Huckle-
berry Finn,” by Mark Twain; "Alice’s Adventures in Won-
derland,” by Lewis Carrol; “Ancient Evenings” by Nor-
man Mailer; "The Black Stallion,” by Walter Farley; "The
Chocolate War,” by Robert Cormier; "The Color Purple,”
by Alice Walker; “Cujo,” by Stephen King.
“Crossings,” by Danielle Steel; “Go Ask Alice,”
anonymous; "In the Night Kitchen,” by Maurice Senak;
“Of Mice and Men,” by John Steinbeck; “On the Origin of
Species,” by Charles Darwin; “Our Bodies, Ourselves,” by
the Bostom Women’s Health Collective; “Tiger Eyes,” by
Judy Blume; “A Spearate Peace,” by John Knowles; “The
Sister’s Impossible,” by J. D. Landis.
“To Kill a Mockingbord,” by Harper Lee; “Valley of
the Horses,” by Jean M. Auel; and “A Wrinkle in Time,”

Dome,” by Joseph Wambaugh; and "The Stupid’s Step
Out,” by Harry Allard.

PARIS (UPI) — Arab extremists that claimed responsi-
bility for a series of bombings in Paris threatened to ex-
tend the terror campaign to the United States following a
bombing on the Left Bank that killed five people and injured
52.
“We will meet soon your venerable state. We will get ac-
quainted with your cities, skyscrapers, and Statue of Liber-
ty. American streets will know us soon,” the Committee of
Solidarity with Arab and Middle Eastern Political Prisoners
warned in a statement delivered Wednesday to the An
Nahar newspaper in Beirut.
The typewritten statement was delivered to the news-
paper’s Beirut office after a bomb blew up Wednesday in
front of a popular clothing store on Paris’s Left Bank, kill-
ing five people and injuring 52,18 of them seriously. It was
the fifth and deadliest bombing in 10 days of terror in Paris.
Eight people have been killed and more than 160 injured
in the five bombings.
Police said the latest explosion occurred about 5:25p.m.
at Tati, a popular store for inexpensive clothing on the Rue
de Rennes, about two blocks from the city’s tallest building,
Montparnasse Tower.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bom-
bing, but the Committee of Solidarity with Arab and Mid-
dle Eastern Political Prisoners has said it is responsible
for the previous four.
Deputy District Attorney Laurent Davenas said two
moustachioed men in a black BMW stopped briefly in front
of the Tati store, threw the bomb from a window of the car
and drove away. The bomb went off seconds later.
But witnesses quoted on French radio said it appeared
the bomb exploded in a metal industrial garbage container
in front of the store. Police took samples from the container
to determine if the bomb was inside.
Candidates Seek
Tribal Offices
Filing period for Otoe-Missouria Indian tribal council
officers closed at 5 p.m. Wednesday with candidates seek-
ing all offices up for election this year.
The election will be held Nov. 1 at the senior citizens
center at the Otoe tribal complex, six miles east and two
north of Red Rock.
Mildred Hudson, secretary of the Otoe-Missouria Indian
election board, said not all the tribal council offices are up
for election this year.
Filing for chairman was Raymond Butler, who now
holds that office. Filing for chairman in opposition to But-
ler are Kenneth Black, Pawnee; and C. 0. Tillman Sr.,
Stillwater.
Filing for secretary are Rosetta Kent, Ponca City;
Pharabe Botone, Red Rock; and Julia Tah, Red Rock. Fil-
ing for first member of the tribal officers group include
Richard Kihega, the incumbent, Tonkawa; Wesley Hudson,
Tonkawa; and Alberta Vetters, Red Rock. Seeking the sec-
ond member post are Ronald Plumley, Red Rock, incum-
bent, Dorcas Williams, Tulsa; Harry Pickering Sr., Paw-
nee; and Della C. Warrior, Red Rock.
Freda Homeratha, Red Rock, currently is serving as
secretary of the council officers by appointment. She sought
to file for election, but her filing papers were declared
imcomplete.
Tribal council officers serving in posts not up for elec-
tion this year are Dewey Dailey, Red Rock, vice chairman;
Truman Dailey, Red Rock, treasurer; and E. 0. Hudson,
Ponca City, third member.
The Tati store — on the ground floor of w seven-story
building — and nearby sidewalks were crowded with shop-
pers browsing for bargains on their way home from work
when the bomb went off.
“The scene was incredible, a lot of women, children and
blood everywhere,” said a journalist for Le Point magazi-
ne, whose offices are in the same building. “The explosion
was very violent, because I was on the 6th floor and
everything trembled.
“The windows of buildings nearby were blown out... . The
most seriously wounded were cared for on the sidewalk in
front of the store. I saw the dying ones,” he said.
“I could see two women lying on the sidewalk,” said
another witness. “They didn’t look like they had been hit
directly, but they weren’t moving. They were just lying
there as if they were asleep. Inside you could see lots of peo-
ple lying down and there was a lot of crying and moaning.”
A witness who lives across the street from the store com-
pared the attack to “an aerial bombardment.”
“The building shook, the glass door of the building burst,
and broken glass was everywhere. There were women sit-
ting on the sidewalk, dazed and crying. A man was crying,
‘My throat is hurt.’”
The Committee of Solidarity — which claimed respon-
sibility for six bombings in December, February and March
that killed six people — warned Sept. 1 that it would step
up its bombing campaign unless France freed Lebanese
guerrilla leader Georges Ibrahim Abdallah and two other
jailed Middle Eastern convicts.
On Sept. 8, a bomb went off at City Hall. Restaurants were
the targets of bombings Sept. 12 and Sept. 14 and another
exploded Monday at a drivers license bureau in police
headquarters.
Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, who announced new anti-
terrorism measures Sunday, met with Cabinet officials
Wednesday to discuss further moves and held what officials
described as a “long telephone conversation” with Presi-
dent Francois Mitterrand, who is visiting Indonesia.
Wednesday ’s blast came as the sgovernment distributed
posters throughout France bearing photographs of two
Lebanese brothers suspected of involvement in the series
of bombings and offering a reward of 1 million francs —
$150,000 — for information leading to their arrest — or to
the arrest of others responsible for the bombings.
But, at almost the same time the bomb went off at Tati,
the Abdallah brothers read a statement in Tripoli, Lebanon,
denying involvement in the attacks and saying they had not
been in France in two years.
“We are strangers to the events in France,” the state-
ment said.
