PARK RIDGE AUDUBON OFFICERS JUDGE EXHIBITS 
et PG ATL B ITO 
Mrs. Mary Aldridge, Mrs, Gertrude Carlson and Walter L, Vogl, officers of the 
Audubon Society of Park Ridge, judged the Wild Life Conservation, Bird Study, and: 
Forestry exhibits at the Lake and North Cook County 4-H Club Fair, at Grayslake, 
Tilinois, on July 29 to August 2, 
They were pleased with the fine work shown by young, conservation-minded folks, 
It was hoped that Audubon members would be able to offer assistance to these 4-H'ters 
in carrying on their projects in the future, Experienced personnel are needed to 
lecture, set up bird walks, and assist in teaching and study projects, 
As 4-H Clubs extend into urban areas, many of these projects should be taken 
up by urban children, The judges invited the 4-H winners to attend Park Ridge 
Audubon Society meetings,

College for $100.00, This move was criticized on several counts: (a) the land is 
worth over $250,000; (b) use by the college as a building site would destroy Devon 
Avenue as an exit when Lincoln Park is eventually built northward to Howard pireets 
c) private ownership would deprive the public of access to the lake, The land is 
now city-owned, 
Letters of protest have been sent to Mayor Richard Daley and to Ald, Paul 
Wigoda of the 49th ward, who sponsored the council resolution, The letters asked 
for names of other groups which have obtained city land for a mero £100.00. No
