Forty per cent of Texas’ bays polluted

Forty per cent of Texas’ 1.4
million acres of Gulf Coast estu
arine areas are environmentally
contaminated, a NASA earth re
sources expert said Monday night
. A on* ifV ;
at A&M.
“If all pollution were stopped,”
Lea F. Childs declared, “the areas
would come back to their natural
state almost immediately.”
■
Childs spoke to 100 men attend
ing the Sea Grant Program sym
posium on remote sensing in
marine biology and fishery re
sources. The two-day program
ended yesterday.
“We must have industry and
progress, but at the same time
conserve our natural marshlands,”
the Houston Manned Spacecraft
Center special assistant said.
Childs joined NASA’s earth re
sources program in 1963 and is
currently assigned to the Earth
Observations Division.
Color slides from manned space
flights and personal ground and
aerial photographs were used to
illustrate man’s disregard for the
environment.

Childs pointed out problems cre
ated by dredging practices, resi
dential recreation developments,
shipping accidents, mineral ex
ploration, all types of industry,
city sewage disposal, garbage
land fills and engineering prac
tices to take care of facility over
loading.
Childs said he was surprised
to find nature has fought back in
East Galveston Bay.
Citing 1951 and 1971 Texas
State Department of Health re
ports on contaminated shellfish
areas, Childs disclosed there are
51,000 more acres today support
ing uncondemned shellfish than
20 years ago. He also reported
the Sabine Bay is 100 per cent
contaminated today.
Childs estimated, from Texas
State Department of Health re
ports, that 40 per cent of the
state’s estuarine areas are totally
contaminated.
Out of the 10 major estuarine
areas on the Gulf Coast only one
—the bays off Goose Island State
Park above Rockport — is in its
natural state.
“I hope this great and rich
state has the foresight to
straint and preserve this one es
tuarine we still have,” Childs
said.
He observed there is a direct
relationship between industrial
ization and effects on the marsh
lands.
Showing a mass fish kill, Childs
said he read a statistic where
40 million fish were killed by
jnatural and unnatural circum
stances in 1970.
“There must be 40 million dead
fish in this one scene,” he in
sisted.
Cihlds said bay and channel
petro-chemical spills have a more
damaging effect than any off
shore accident.
He cautioned the public on hys
teria about the environment.
“I think we have to let the ex
perts weigh the facts,” he added.
“We really don’t know that much
about what we are doing to the
environment.”

PONTIAC, Mich. (A>) — Eyes
bleary with tears, 11-year-old
Dean Herron took his entire sav
ings of $75 to the public auction,
hoping he could get back his
three runaway ponies.
The situation appeared dismal
for the lad, whose Shetland pon
ies strayed from a farm and were
later captured by Oakland Coun
ty sheriff’s deputies Dec. 22.
The boarding costs to Oakland
County totaled around $400. An
auction was odered, under laws
concerning “animals running at
large.”
“Do I hear a bid of $30 for this
pony?” asked District Court
Judge Gerald E. McNally of
Clarkston, when he opened the
bidding at the Oakland County
Animal Shelter Monday.
The Detroit lad stepped for-
xvard and gasped, “Thirty dollars.
That’s too much. You should
start at $25.”
The judge asked, “Are you
bidding?”
“They’re my ponies,” the boy
cried.
A conference was held between
the judge and Dr. F. Hugh Wil
son, shelter director. Bidding was
reopened again, but it was on all
three ponies “as a package.”
Tom Finley, a friend of the
family entered the bid of $75—
the money the youth saved from
doing chores.
About 25 other spectators were
at the auction, but they did not
bid after learning of the youth’s
story.
The family said the ponies es
caped from a farm at Lyon
Township, where they were
boarded, when a snomobile tore
down a fence. The sheriff’s dep
uties later spent six hours re
trieving them.
The lad purchased the ponies
last summer, with money earned
by scrubbing floors.
Du Pont Co. has presented
A&M a $5,000 aid to education
award as part of the company’s
1971 science and engineering
grant program.
Larry Dirnberger, technical su
perintendent at the LaPorte plant
near Houston, came here Friday
with the $2,500 awards to the
Chemical and Mechanical Engi
neering Departments.
“We appreciate this continuing
support,” Engineering Dean Fred
Benson said. “It is very valuable
to us.”
