TALES FROM A BIRD FEEDER...BY PRESIDENT MOSTEK 
A 36-acre tract of woods which has not been lumbered in 50 years has been set aside 
in memory of Miss Nettie Hart. It is on the Sangamon River near Mahomet in 
Champaign County,..April 15-21 is "Keep Illinois Beautiful" Week by the Governor's 
proclamation, sponsored by the Garden Clubs of Tllinois...Coyotes, also known as 
prairie wolves, have been seen in Fulton, Green and Richland counties,,.There are 
more reports on sightings of mountain lion and bobcat in the Shawnee Forest... 
Many desirable birds are losing out to the starling, according to Dr. Richard 
Graber and his wife, Jean, in their recent report. 
FRIDAY, APRIL 24th, IS ARBOR DAY 
Arbor Day was established 91 years ago. Yet the public has failed to give this 
program the strong support it requires, The Northern Zone Association of Sports— 
men's and Conservation Clubs, through its secretary, Ace Extrom, is conducting a 
vigorous campaign to enlist 25,000 sportsmen to plant walnut trees, This issue of 
the NEWSLETTER comes too late to give details of walnut tree seedlings offered by 
this organization, but at least we can urge our readers to plant a tree on Friday, 
April 24th, “
