And many American scientists ? ornithologists. conservationists, and ecologists -- have made a habit of stopping at these chilly, windy islands. drawn by wildlife ripe for study. "The wildlife is quite extra ordinary." says R. Michael Wright, vice president and general counsel of the World Wildlife Fund, who has been to the Falklands twice in the last five years. "It's away, and there are not many places that are away any more. I could walk off to think, and have a penguin pecking at my shoes. albatrosses going through a mating ritual in front of me. and seals leaping around in the water offshore. * Penguin* by Millions The most significant wildlife consists of penguins, whose num bers on the 200-island Falkland chain have been estimated at 5 million to 12 million. O.S. Pettin gill Jr.. an ornithologist whose research into Falkland Island birds has been supported by the National Geographic Society, estimated after a 1971-72 study that one island alone contained more than 300.000. Ornithologist Roger Tory Peter Dismissals (Continued from page I) random samples. "It does not appear" from the record on appeal." the ruling adds, "that they have inspected or tested the random samples available to them for the purpose of determin ing if the samples are marijuana, or for the purpose of determining if the stalks are or were mature and their size and weight, or if there were other extraneous matter which did not qualify as 'marijuana.' "The questions asked in defen dants' motions for Bill of Parti culars were fully answered by the State. There is nothing to indicate that defendants could not by discovery or independent investiga tion obtain other information which is relevant on the issue of weight." The defendants were arrested and charged soon after Hoke County officers on September 14. 1980. found what they described as marijuana growing in a field in southern Hoke County. Each of the 1 1 was charged with possession of 2.000 pounds or more but less than 10.000 pounds of marijuana: manufacture of 2.000 but less than 10.000 pounds; conspiracy with others to possess 2.000 to 10.000 pounds; and conspiracy with others to manufacture 2.000 to 10.000 pounds. The defendants, all free on bond, are Donnie Ray Anderson. Ronnie Anderson. Barry Dean Barker, Atha Louise Bates. Larry Boyd Crouse. William A. Cody Durham. James C. Rhodes. Edward Smoot, Warren Grady Wood. Randy Keith Byrd, and Randall S. Smoot. Bates and Durham are under S50.000 bond each, and the others under S25.000 each.

Those species are the rock hoppers -- Pettingill found 250.000 of them on New Island in one colony on the western part of the chain ?? gentoos. Magellan or jackass penguins, king penguins, and macaroni penguins. "It's the greatest place in the world to study penguins." says Peterson, who has been to the Falklands several times. To William Sladen. an ecology professor at Johns Hopkins Uni versity. the Falklands remain "one of the few places on earth where the wildlife is still untouched." "The most important aspect is how all the birds live together, in vast colonies, with the resources that are available," says Sladen. who made a 10-year study of Antarctic penguins and once was scientific liaison officer with the Falkland Islands government. Seals and Whales , Though penguins and albatros ses are most prominent, along with upland geese, the islands are home to a vast array of sea birds, as well as many varities of resident birds. Seals, sea lions, and whales swim offshore, though not nearly as many as during the 19th century, when an active whaling and sealing industry existed. "More recently, there has been a competition between sheep ranch ing and the maintenance of wild lite." says Jacob Sivak. a University of Waterloo. Ontario, professor whose research into penguin vision was partly aided by the National Georgraphic Society. Though some ranchers among the Falklands' 1 .800 residents seem indifferent to wildlife and have tried to eradicate the upland goose, others have begun to understand the need for conservation. Several of the small, privately held islands have been closed to ranching and set aside as wildlife preserves. Wright recalls drawing up trust papers tor a preserve on New Island while sitting in a penguin colony. LEGALS The Lumbee River Electric Membership Corporation, P.O. Box. 830. Red Springs. North Carolina 28377. announces that it is making an application for a loan (loan guarantee) of approximately S6 million from the Rural Electrifi cation Administration which will provide for the construction of approximately 34 kilometers (21 miles) of 115 kilovolt transmission line. The facilities covered by the announcement are located partly in Hoke County and partly in Robe son County. The facilities located in Hoke County will consist of 25 kilometers (16 miles) of single pole transmission line running on a 30 meter (100 foot) wide right-of-way from a switching station one mile southeast of Raeford near the Carolina Power and Light Substa tion. From the switching station, the transmission ljne will be con structed for a distance of 3 kilo meters (2 miles) to the northeast to a new substation near Scurlock School in Hoke County. The line will also be constructed for a distance of 22 kilometers (14 miles) toward the west to a new substation near Pineville at the intersection of SR 1214 and SR 1219. The proposed route from the switching station to the northeast will follow an existing power line right-of-way for the first mile. This right-of-way parallels SR 1403. Thereafter, the route continues on new right-of way in a northeasterly direction to the substation near Scurlock School. The proposed route from the switching station to the west extends in a straight line for a distance of 6 miles to Bowmore. It proceeds from that point on an existing power line right-of-way along SR 1204 for a distance of 2 miles to its intersection with SR 1202. From that point it continues on new right-of-way for a distance of .6 miles to a point where the route intersects with SR 1200. From that point the line will follow an existing power line right-of-way to the northwest for .9 miles to SR 1203. From that point it continues along existing right-of-way for .5 miles along SR 1203 to its intersec tion with SR 1212. From that point it continues alone existing right-of way to the north for 1 .5 miles to SR 1211. From that point it continues along existing right-of-way for 2.4 miles to the substation site. Both new substations in Hoke County will be a 1 15 kilovolt to 12.5 kilovolt facilities which require at least a .4 hectare ( 1 acre) site. A Borrower's Environmental Re port. which indicates anticipated environmental effects, has been prepared for the proposed project. A copy of this report can be reviewed at Lumbee River EMC s principal office or at the offices of the Rural Electrification Admini stration (lames A. Ruspi, Wash LEGALS ington. D.C. 20250. telephone number 1-202-382-8930). Tne co operative does not believe the proposed project will have a signifi cant effect on the quality of the human environment. The Rural Electrification Administration will * make its own independent en vironmental assessment prior to granting financing assistance for the proposed facilities. A portion of the transmission ine will traverse a 100-year Hood plain near Rockfish Creek in Hoke County. If there are any comments on the environmental aspects (including^, (1) potentially significant archaeo logical. historical sites and cultural resources. (2) important farmland. (3) flood plains. (4) wetlands, and (5) endangered species) of the proposed construction, they should be submitted to the cooperative within thirty (30) days of the publication of this notice. Addi tional information may be obtained by contacting Earl Belcher at the cooperative's office at the above address or by calling 875-4249. A / copy of all comments received by the cooperative will be sent to REA for its independent environmental evaluation. 9C STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA HOKE COUNTY IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT ' DIVISION 82-E-54 82-4-129 EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as Executrix of the estate of Alice Jones of Hoke County, North Carolina, this is to notify all persons having claims against the estate of said Alice Jones to present them to the under signed within 6 months from date of the publication of this notice or f same will be pleaded in bar of their recovery.
