the kids won’t have any problems," he
said.
Administrators are still working on an
enrollment figure, and it will be a few days
before a final count can be tabulated,
according to Stevens.
Shortly before noon Monday the ten-
tative total enrollment figure for the
Sulphur Springs Independent School
District from kindergarten through senior
high was 3,102, according to an ad-
ministrative spokesman. Last year the
enrollment the first day of school was
3,000, but by the end of the school year the
enrollment had grown to 3,133.
“We expect the number to increase aftei
Labor Day,” said Stevens. “It will be a
week or so before we have an accurate
enrollment figure.”

aatier in Honolulu that the whole con-
cmrersy stemmed from semantic con-
flow*- ‘?o* gotta know exactly what you
mean. ’hedBdared.
Reagan and Bush conferred privately
today in quest of that exact meaning, and
phwnedto issue a formal statement later
ffa news conference.
Par the record. Bush noted to the
Chinese leadership that the administration
is barred by law from establishing a
government liaison office with Taiwan.
Reagan, meanwhile, said in Dallas last
Priday ttud tbe posability of establishing
such a direct link “is incorporated in what
Conpas passed.”
fir my case, said Bush, a Reagan ad-
ministration had no intention, even if it
could, of re-establishing diplomatic ties
with Taiwan. Reagan, asked for a yes or no
answer on that question in Dallas, replied:
“Ah, I guess it’s a yes.”
The United States severed official links
with Taiwan last year when it established
an embassy in Peking, replacing the
liaison office once headed by Bush. U.S.
interests on Taiwan are now represented
by the American Institute, a technically
private foundation funded by the U.S.
government and staffed by State
Department personnel on temporary
leave.
Last May 17, Reagan declared that “One
of the first things I look forward to
most...is to re-establish official relations
between the U.S. government and
Taiwan.”
Reagan’s press secretary, Lyn Nofziger,
attempted to play down the flap on Sun-
day.
-News briefs-
Anderson picks
running mate
WASHINGTON (AP) - In-
dependent presidential candidate
John B. Anderson called a news
conference today to announce the
selection of former Wisconsin Gov.
Patrick J. Lucey as his vice
presidential running mate.
Lucey, a senior official in Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy’s presidential
campaign, was expected to be at
Anderson’s side for the announcement
here.
Word of the choice of Lucey first
became known last week while An-
derson was on a coast-to-coast
campaign trip, but the formal an-
nouncement was delayed until today.
Nights cooling;
days still hot
The overnight temperature dropped
below the 70 degree mart Saturday
and Sunday. The daytime tem-
peratures remained hot, but with the
official thermometer on the fritz for
the third time this summer, it is
difficult to know juft how warm it was
over the weekend.
The mercury slid to 65 degrees
early Sunday morning and to 69
Monday morning, but the days
wanned up quickly and the mercury
reached the century mark or above
both days.
The National Weather Service
forecast is caning for clear skies and
continued hot daytime temperatures
through Tuesday. High readings
should reach the low 100s both
Monday and Tuesday. Overnight
lows, however, could drop into the
mid 00s.
The remainder of the week should
be hot and dry under clear skies,
according to the long range forecast.
No rain is forecast for Hopkins
Co—ty in the near future. If it doesn’t
rain within the next seven days, it will
be the driest month so far during the
drought, with no measurable
precipitation at the official weather
stattoo here during the entire month.
First day at school
Kindergarten students at Bowie Elementary School found that
classes weren't so tough Monday. The first thing the students
did was play — which is a natural for a child. Mrs. Dannie

Court okays deputy pay hikes
Center architect decision delayed
Members of the Hopkins County Com-
missioners Court approved pay raises for
five employees of the Sheriff’sDepart-
ment, set the date for an auction of used
equipment no longer needed by the county
and delayed once more the hiring of an
architect for the Hopkins County Regional
Livestock Arena and Civic Center Com-
plex.
County Judge Joe R. Pogue said that the
pay increases for the Sheriff’s Department
were within budget and wduld come to
somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000 for
the remainder of 1980.
The agenda had included pnly three pay
raises but the court authorized the in-
creases for five employees.
Deputies Mike Swindell and Bill Dirks
were given pay raises that “were to have
been automatic” after they completed
basic certification school, according to
Pogue.
He said that Deputy Tom Davis was
hired at a lower salary than he should have
been and said that all three should have
their pay raised to $9,315 per year.
Sheriff’s Department Clerk Sybil Mit-
chell’s pay will be raised to $8,679 “to what
the chief deputies in other departments
make,” according to Pogue. The pay raise
for Mrs. Mitchell will amount to about $400
per year, he said.
Deputy Diane Barton's pay is to he
raised approximately $12 per pay period
according to the county judge, and her
salary will go to $9,600.
“The pay raises are in addition to any
pay raises - if any - (granted) at the first
of the year,” Judge Pogue said.
Saturday, Sept. 27 was set for the auction
of the used county owned equipment. The
auction will be held in the Sheriff’s Office
parking lot about 10 a jn.
Road working equipment, at least two
trucks, a military surplus jeep, a tractor
and a four-door sedan are to be included in
the auction plus possibly other items as the
commissioners scour their precinct barns
looking for equipment that is no longer
needed.
The hiring of an architect for tbe Civic
Center was delayed once again.
Judge Pogue said that the court needed
to meet with members of the Civic Center
Board on Friday at 10 a.m. at tbe Civic
Center to discuss the plans for the curtains
and lighting for the auditorium along with
the prospective architect and file con-
sultant that was previously hired.
The item was left open until that
meeting.

Israeli jet fighters down MiG-21
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli jets
downed a Syrian MiG-21 in a dogfight over
southern Lebanon, and the Israeli Cabinet
accused the United States of bowing to “oil
blackmail” because it did not veto the
latest U.N. Security Council resolution on
Jerusalem.
The first aerial clash between Israel and
Syria in 11 months occurred Sunday when
Syrian jet fighters intercepted Israeli jets
on patrol over southern Lebanon, the
Israeli military command said.
“In a brief dogfight, one Syrian MiG-21
was downed,” the command said, adding
that all Israeli planes returned “intact” to
their bases. A Syrian military com-
munique confirmed the loss of one Soviet-
made jet and claimed an Israeli plane was
hit.
The Syrian pilot parachuted to safety
and was taken by Arab villagers to a
Syrian command center in Lebanon.
Syria claimed its planes attacked the
Israelis after they bombed Palestinian
guerrilla posts gnd refugee camps in
southern Lebanon, but local villagers said
the area was quiet before the dogfight.
Israeli and Syrian jets clashed twice
over Lebanon last year. On June 27,1979,
Israel claimed five Syrian MiGs downed.
Three months later, on Sept. 24, Israeli
pilots claimed four Syrian kills. Israel said
it lost no planes in either encounter.
The rocky, orchard-studded hills of
southern Lebanon have long been a bat-
tleground for Palestinian guerrillas and an
alliance of Israeli forces and Lebanese
Christian militiamen. Their warfare
escalated last week when Israel sent 100
commandos over the border for a massive
strike against four Palestinian tunes in
southeast Lebanon.
The guerrillas retaliated with rocket
attacks on Israeli settlements in Galilee,
setting off artillery duels along the border.
The Palestine Liberation Organization
also claimed it was responsible for two
