Girl named hero
for saving father
United Press International
DALLAS — When Kim
Bryant socked an angry bull in
the nose with a whip last fall, she
figured it might save her father,
who was under attack by the
animal. But she never dreamed
it would make her a hero.
The Texas Farm and Ranch
Safety Council chose the Sul
phur Springs girl, 16, as the reci
pient of its Rural Heroism
Award for 1981. She received
the award Monday during the
annual meeting of the Texas
Safety Association.
Bryant was helping her
father, Lyle Bryant, drive a bull
back to their farm near Peerless
in Hopkins County east of Dallas
last November. The bull had
strayed onto a neighbor’s prop
erty.
While passing through the
neighbor’s pen on the way back
to the Bryant farm, the animal
turned and charged Mr. Bryant,
ramming him against a fence,
then tossing him in the air twice.
As the bull continued its
attack on her father on the
ground, Bryant began striking
the bull with the whip she car
ried.
“ The whip didn’t faze him
much,” she said. “But my grand
father told me once il you want
to get a cow’s attention, to hit
him on the nose.”
She struck the bull across the
bridge of its nose with the hand
le of the whip. Ehe blow stopped
the bull’s attack, so she hit the
animal again. With the bull tem-
porarly stunned, she helped her
father from the pen and shut the
gate.
“Daddy was in trouble and I
just did as I had been told,” she
said. “I didn’t think much about
it.”
The girl’s father spent nine
days in the hospital with a
broken rib, a minor shoulder
fracture, cuts and bruises. But
he was happy to be alive.
However, the experience may
have a lasting influence on
Bryant. She said her career
plans now were divided between
being a nurse or being a veter
inarian.
As for the bull, Bryant said il
made it hack to her family’s
farm, but its stay was brief.
“We don’t have him anymore.
He was sent to the packers,” she
said. “1 guess there was a little hit
of revenge in that.”

Desert, are,ait(®0USTON — A town meet-

t.
were called to escort black
citizens to their cars and protect
them from the hooded Klan
members.
City Council was to vote on
Brown’s appointment Tuesday.
Mayor Kathy Whitmire said she
is confident he will get the job.
The community appears to
be split on whether Brown
should be hired. Police say they
would prefer someone from
within their ranks to be prom
oted, but Whitmire said Brown
is the most qualified for the job.
There was no violence Mon
day at the meeting, but the 13
klansmen — some clad in white
sheets and others in black
clothes with no masks — were
told by Councilman John Good-
ner they could come into the
meeting, but without their
robes.
The men refused, claiming
their civil rights had been
violated.
Members of a police organiza
tion who traveled to Atlanta last
week to check on Brown’s
credentials released a report of
their findings Monday.
They said Brown’s failures
are that he does not delegate au
thority, has poor relations with
the media and was blamed for
poor recruiting and training in
Atlanta.

Kt successful coronary bypass

M-vessel surgery elsewhere
The body, according to Jesse
pompson, head of vascular
gory at Baylor Medical Cen-
m Dallas.
Designed to avert heart
lc ks, the bypass reroutes
'd that cannot flow easily
_ coronary arteries clog-
with fatty deposits. Gusto-
! aril y. another vessel — usually
rough
a vein snipped from the patient’s
leg — is used to make a new con
nection between the aorta and a
coronary artery, which supplies
the heart with blood.
However, some patients need
additional surgery to relieve
blockages in the vessels of the
neck or legs. Studies done at
Baylor and at the Cleveland Cli
nic in Ohio showed an 80 per
cent lower death rate during
surgery for patients who had the
coronary bypass first.
