Railroad Commission
Suggests Safety Check
For Propane Tanks
With cold weather gripping the state,
the Texas Railroad Commission sug-
gests that homeowners who fuel fur-
naces and appliances with propane
contact their local dealer for a safety
check of their propane tank and regu-
lator.
Although it doesn't happen often,
safety officials warn that if the regula-
tor vent ices over or is clogged by
insect nests or debris, high pressure
gas can be released directly to home
appliances. Homeowners should par-
ticipate with their propane dealer in a
regular safety inspection program
each year.
Regulators on most home tanks are
located under a protective metal dome
on the top of the tank, shielding them
from weather and insects. On some
tanks, however, the circular regulator
is installed outside the dome cover.
Owners of these tanks should make
sure the regulator is properly installed
and operating correctly by contacting
the local dealer that fills and services
their tanks.
Some Texans buy propane in port-
able tanks for use in barbecues or as a
supplemental heat source. Colder
weather may prompt such users to
bring the portable cylinders indoors.
But Railroad Commission officials
say all propane cylinders and contain-
ers must stay outside for.safety, as
required by the Commission's safety
rules.

Speed Limit Signs Installed
State Rep. Charles Finnell of Holli-
day this week installed, at the invita-
tion of and together with personnel
from the Texas Department of Trans-
portation, four sets of the new state
speed limit signs (70 mph day/65 mph
night) along US 287 and US 82.
It was Rep. Finnell who first pushed
for more realistic speed limits for such
tour-lane divided state highways
through rural unincorporated areas of
Texas. Beginning in 1991, Finnell
introduced and passed the only state
legislation urging the U.S. Congress
to give state and local governments
the latitude to set limits locally, in-
stead of by federal law. "This is a great
day for states' rights and especially for
rural Texas communities looking to-
ward future industrial development of
our Northwest Texas region," Finnel
stated. "As there are no interstate
highways within the 12 1/2 counties I
serve, these safe and well-maintained
state four-lane highways are very vital
arteries," Finnel emphasized.
One reason our Northwest Texas re-
gion has been held back, according to
Rep. Finnell, is because of an incor-
rect perception that this region was too
remote for further business and indus-
try development.
Both US 287 and US 82 extend East
to West from one end of Finnell's
House district to the other. All 77,000
miles of state highways and roads will
be reviewed for new sign designation
by mid-Spring, according to TxDOT.
Caring Counts
(NAPS)—“Who is the most car-
ing person you know?” The Caring
Institute, a national non-profit
organization, asked this question
of 250,000 people, including our
nation’s political, civic, artistic
and journalistic leaders. Eleven
extraordinary individuals have
been selected to receive the 1995
National Caring Award, following
extensive research on all of the
nominees. They are remarkable in
the diversity of their approaches,
yet they are unified by a common
devotion to service and an under-
standing of the value of caring.
