NOTES 

 Mrs Wright Appointed a Director 



At the bi-monthly meeting of the Board 

 of Directors of the National Association, 

 held in New York on February 28, 191 1, 

 Mrs. Mabel Osgood Wright was appointed 

 a director, to serve until the next annual 

 meeting of the Association. She was cho- 

 sen to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- 

 nation of Dr. H. C. Bumpus, whose work 

 in the West has necessitated his removing 

 to Madison, Wisconsin. 



California 



Miss Gretchen L. Libby, who has served 

 as Field Agent for this Association in 

 California, has been devoting much time 

 to organizing Junior Audubon Classes. 

 As a result of her efforts and of those 

 associated with her, 3,000 Junior Members 

 have been enrolled, and the California 

 Society confidently expects to double this 

 number in the near future. 



It is particularly interesting to note 

 that the State Fish and Game Commis- 

 sion are alive to the importance of con- 

 ducting an educational campaign, similar 

 to that so constantly carried forward by 

 the Audubon workers. It has recently 

 arranged to place her in the field, to devote 

 her entire time to speaking and culti- 

 vating public sentiment to a better appre- 

 ciation of the value of preserving the wild 

 bird and animal life of the state. 



Florida 



Information gathered from various 

 sources indicates that fully four hundred 

 yachts annually go down the Atlantic 

 coast to cruise in Florida waters. To 

 these are added many other small vessels 

 carrying pleasure parties from Florida 

 ports. The majority of these boats have 

 fire-arms aboard, and in the thinly settled 

 reaches of the coast the temptations are 

 many and subtle for the cruisers to try 

 their aim at passing birds. The Audubon 

 Warden, B. J. Pacetti, who guards the 

 Government Reservation at Mosquito 

 Inlet, has had an experience with such 

 a party. John and Julian Dupont, of 

 St. Augustine, were captured by him 

 after a long and exciting chase, and later 

 pleaded guilty in the court of shooting at 

 Pelicans. They were fined, and it is to be 

 hoped that the wide publicity given to 

 the matter in the papers will cause other 

 shooters to remember that, even in 

 Florida, there are places where the strong 

 arm of the law reaches out to guard and 

 protect the wild bird life.
