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,

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.

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.
