School bells
to toll soon
For students in Sidney,
Star, Gustine and Mullin, it’s
back to class Monday mor-
ning as school bells sond out,
ending the summer for
teachers and pupils alike.
But even though classes
for most other students in
the area won’t be beginning
until next week or later,
summer is all but over,
nonetheless.

County sheriff’s deputies,
assisted by a game warden,
DPS troopers, and a cattle in-
spector, took up positions at the
two outside doorways, allowing
no one to enter or leave the
building while Smith was in the
hallway and hearing room.
Smith was brought back to
Texas on a commercial airliner
by way of Houston and San An-
tonio. The return trip, which
began at 8 am., was surroun-
ded in secrecy. Brought from
San Antonio to Brady by car.
Smith was taken immediately
to the Brady Law Enforcement
building.

it was “worse than I’ve ever
seen.” The oil, mousse and tar
balls were left at the surf line as
the waves brought them in.
There were still people on the
beach, however.
The Coast Guard Friday com-
pletely closed off ship traffic at
the Port Mansfield Cut, about 80
miles south of here. A boom was
placed across the cut Aug. 8, but
ship traffic was allowed in and
out on outgoing tides.
Coast Guard Lt. Harry
Vaughn said there to now too
much oil in the cut to open the
boom at any time.
More protective booms also
were added Friday in the 1,550
foot Aransas Pass, the north-
ernmost entrance to the lagoon.
The booms contain the surface
oil, but only sit two inches below
the water’s surface, and do
nothing to stop oil below the top
of the water.
