Environmental group
appointed to assist in
Brady Creek cleanup
Remember flag etiquette when flying Old Glory
A new group selected to oversee and provide input for the upcoming Brady
Creek 319 project, the Citizen Advisory Committee, was recently appointed
by Brady Mayor Clarence Friar and will now begin aiding the Upper Colorado
River Authority (UCRA) with the project.
Mike Smith will serve as chairman with Martin Leatherwood as vice
chairman and DeLaine Poe as the public relations administrator
The committee was appointed by Friar to oversee the project which has
been funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and imple-
mented by UCRA in partnership with the Lower Colorado River Authority
(LCRA) and the City of Brady.
The 319 project will work toward the reduction of non-point source and
urban run-off abatement in Brady Creek by implementing changes to the
current run-off situation. Pollution from road grime, household and commer-
cial run-off has all but eliminated the fish population in Brady Creek
The committee will be looking at beautification, pollution prevention and
upgrades to the Brady Creek area as they develop a "master plan" to be
implemented over the next five years
A public forum will be held at a later date to explain the process to the local
community as the committee begins working on a "Master Plan” which will
include administration, public education and involvement, monitoring and
data collection, engineering and design, BMP construction, assessment and
reporting
Brady businesses and the general public are asked to volunteer their time
to the project in order to achieve the desired results
For more information, contact Mrs. Poe at 597-3491.

For nearly 50 years after Con
gress authorized the design for out
flag, citizens had no uniform set of
rules to guide them in displaying
and showing respect for the flag
To supply such a guide, a Na
tional Flag Conference was held in
Washington D.C. on Flag Day,
June 14, 1923 Representatives of
68 organizations met and drew up
a Flag Code, which was revised by
a second conference in 1924.
Congress in 1942 adopted a
resolution which made the Flag
Code a law. This resolution was
amended on July 7, 1976; and the
Flag Code as it is commonly called
became Public Law 94-344, 94th
Congress.
Here are some of the provisions
contained in it:
"It is the universal custom to
display the flag only from sunrise
to sunset on buildings and on sta-
tionary flagstaf fs in the open How-
ever when a patriotic effect is de-
sired. the flag may be displayed 24
hours a day if properly illuminated
during the hours of darkness. The
flag should be hoisted briskly and
lowered ceremoniously. The flag
should not be displayed out-of-
doors on the days when the weather
is inclement. The flag should be
displayed daily, weather permit
ting, on or near the main adminis-
tration building of every public
institution. The flag should be dis-
played in or near every polling
place on Election days. The flag
should be displayed during school
days m or near every schoolhouse.
GENERAL DISPLAY
It is the universal custom to
display the flag only from sunrise
to sunset on buildings and on sta
nonary flagstaff s in the open. How

Solemn parade invokes patriotic feelings
Flashing lights and blaring sirens on emergency vehicles traveling in a
caravan did more than cause traffic to halt Friday evening, it stirred emo-
tions.
In an impromptu ceremony in honor of the hundreds of law enforcement
7
and rescue personnel as well as for all the individuals lost in the New York
City, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C' attacks last week, all available emer
gency personnel and apparatus ceremoniot ly drove around the square and
down the main street of Brady Friday evening with lights and sirens turned
on.
The honorary parade stopped traffic and even brought flag waving and
candle-bearing citizens away from their dinner tables to pay tribute to the
fallen men and women
“There were several people who stopped then cars and stood by the side
of the road with their hand over their hearts,” said McCulloch County para
medic Lynne White. “Some people even left their dinners on the table at
restaurants to come out and show their respect."
The parade was only a small parade, but it was part of a national effort to
salute the men and women of law enforcement and emergency medical ser
vices. The parade in Brady might have been small, but the feelings portrayed
were as big as Texas as McCulloch County residents again showed the nation
what living in a small town is all about
ning, jumping, etc.) and language
development (speech, following in
structions, etc.)
If a child is found to have two or
more delays in one area, there is
further testing available through
Early Childhood Intervention or re-
ferral to the appropriate agency.
The purpose of Early Childhood
Intervention is to identify and cor
rect as many problems as possible
for young children Early detection
of young children's delays has proven
beneficial to the child, parents and
teachers.
For further information, please
feel free to call 1 -800-796-2752 or
come to the screening site.
