Game pro- :or Mike Ehlebracht and U.S. PlfiefFish and Wildlife Service agent _ttfTjrry Tarr confirmed the er lasiaiW jtlisiffThe large white crane, which is named for the whooping ^yoiisojmd it makes, was nearly ex- jubcostim t less than a decade ago. Ab out 120 whooping cranes are in existence today. The birds are about 5 feet tall and have about a 6-foot wing- spread. They have white feath ers with black wingtips. Kramer said he watched the birds for about an hour late Thursday morning. ‘When they move around they look like they’re walking on stilts in the wheat fields’ “Because they are so rare and they’re followed a lot, they’re actually used to people watching them — to the vehicles and so forth,” Kramer said. He advised people who spot whooping cranes to keep their distance, however, and to report the sighting quickly to the fish and game commission. “They’re a large bird and they are interesting to watch be cause they’re of the crane fami ly, and birdwatchers like them because of their long legs,” he said. “When they move around they look like they’re walking on stilts in the wheat fields.” Thursday was the third time the birds were reported in Kan sas during October. Two young whooping cranes were sighted at Wilson Reservoir on Oct. 13, and two adults were spotted on the same day at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge. Quivira and Cheyenne Bot toms, a state wildlife area near Great Bend, are the most popu lar stopping places for the birds, said Marvin Schwilling of the Kansas Fish and Game Commis- iasn' l 1 CONTROL Vi $ WITH BHT SAFE, EFFECTIVE ANTI-OXIDANT k Research is proving that 2,000 A mg of BHT (butylated hydro- W xytoluene), taken daily before ^ bedtime, will help: • prevent herpes lesions from occuring • keep you from infecting anyone else,and •build your natural immunities against Herpes Sim plex I and II.

Call now 1-800-222-9080 Pot as bad as booze for pregnant women United Press International EL PASO — Pregnant women who smoke marijuana might be running the same risk of having babies with birth defects as pre gnant women who drink heavi ly, a drug expert said Thursday. Sidney Cohen, M.D., a clinic al psychology professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, said recent studies by Boston City Hospital show that more women who used mari juana during pregnancy had children with fetal alcohol syn drome than women who drank. Speaking at the 10th annual Institute on Addictions at the University of Texas at El Paso College of Nursing, he said use of marijuana, most common among adolescents and young adults, will one day be consi dered as dangerous as alcohol. “Cannabis is as much a possi ble cause of changes in the fetus as alcohol,” he said, adding that further studies should be made for more conclusive findings. Cohen was one of the first to study the effects of LSD on the brain, working in the area be fore the drug hit the streets in the 1960s. He said death rates in people 15 to 25 years old have increased during the past 20 years, while the rates have decreased for other age groups. “These happen to be the ones heavily into drug and alcohol abuse,” Cohen said. “This is the healthiest group of all. Yet, they’re dying at a rate greater now than 20 years ago. The ma jor causes of death are acciden tal death, homicide and suicide.” Research shows more accidental deaths occur from car acci dents in which the driver is using mari juana. The research also indicates use of marijuana causes lung problems. Cohen said research shows more accidental deaths occur from car accidents in which the driver is using marijuana. He said the research also indicates use of marijuana causes lung problems and that marijuand impairs mental functions. He said a person who ip “stoned” may see moving objects that aren’t moving and may be in a relaxed and dreamy stated And, he said, recent memory may also be impaired. Cohen said that young people who use marijuana are not learning to interact with others; or how to cope with stress ancf are not “learning about life.” By using marijuana, the person i$ “avoiding life,” he said. Man to repay aunt’s $9,000 United Press International HOUSTON — A former bank vice president who pleaded guilty to misusing his elderly aunt’s money to support a Christian bookstore was sent enced Thursday to five years probation. U.S. District Judge Gabrielle McDonald ordered Ronnie Dale Archer, 32, of Humble to com plete 500 hours of community service and to repay all of the misused funds during his proba tionary period. Archer, who formerly work ed for the Allied Humble Bank and operated the Living Word U.S. oil situation misleading United Press International AUSTIN — Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Mack Wallace warned Thursday that the United States is facing an energy crunch that could be compared to the crisis caused by the Arab oil embargo of 1973. “I believe we are in an equal, if not worse, situation today,” Wallace said. He added that Americans have been deluded by repeated references to “oil gluts” and “natural gas bubbles.” “The fact of the matter is at this very moment we do not have enough oil and gas for our own national security,” he said, speaking at the commission’s monthly oil and gas hearing. Wallace said he recom mended in a letter to President Reagan that a bipartisan nation al energy conference be called to address the nation’s energy problems. As example of the nation’s energy weakness, Wallace said, the 350 million barrels of oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve would last only 10 weeks if fore ign oil were shut off. Christian Bookstore in Humble, pleaded guilty Aug. 17 to one count of embezzlement. He originally was indicted by a federal grand jury on five counts of embezzlement in which the bank lost $24,856. Prosecutors said he sold his bookstore and has now repaid the bank. Archer is repaying his aunt $9,000 in monthly installments, officials said. “I’m truly sorry for what hap pened and I’ve done everything I can to undo the wrong,” Archer told the judge.
