LETTER No. 1 



ANNOUNCEMENT TO MEMBERS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS 



AUDUBON SOCIETY 



March 31, 1921 

 FIRST AUDUBON BIRD FESTIVAL AND ENROLLMENT OF 

 NATURE LOVERS 

 Where is it? When? What? 



At the North High School, Friday, April 22, the Local Members of this 

 Society will present, with the co-operation of the Natural History Society and 

 bird lovers of Worcester, 



TWO PROGRAMS 



Afternoon at 4 P. M. for Children 



At your invitation and through the interest of Walter S. Young, Assistant 

 Superintendent of Schools, 1200 children will see fine slides and motion 

 pictures of birds and hear a talk on "Bird Mysteries" by Winthrop Packard 

 of Boston, Secretary of the Society. We are engaging the best whistling 

 imitator of bird songs that we can secure, Mr. Arthur E. Wilson, who will 

 appear both afternoon and evening. 



Evening Program at 8 P. M. 



Moving Picture, illustrating Longfellow's "Birds of Killingworth," showing 

 marvellous wild-bird pictures and slides never before seen in Worcester. 

 Mr. Packard will give a bird talk which you will enjoy, and beautiful bird 

 songs will be reproduced by Mr. Wilson, famous for his remarkable bird 

 imitations. 



How can we do it? 



We intend to do it because we know you will not only support it, but do 

 so generously and ask your friends to do so. 



As you are a member of the Society, we are sending you one compli- 

 mentary ticket. If interested, we ask you to send us, with the enclosed sub- 

 scription blank, one to five dollars (no more), and for every dollar we will 

 send you two seats in the reserved section. The fine thing about it is that if 

 the returns are what we know they will be, we shall have the expense guar- 

 anteed, and, for every dollar you send, ten young people and children can 

 be given tickets through the schools and the Natural History Society which is 

 co-operating. Thus you will assist directly in increasing general interest in 

 Bird Life and Bird Protection on a large scale. 



You probably think of a friend or some one in the family who ought 

 to join us. Kindly hand or mail the enclosed blank to them for subscription 

 and by doing so help all bird lovers of Worcester, our Society and its State- 

 wide work, THE BIRDS, and 



The Local Audubon Society
