HUSBAND - AND - WIFE TEAM WIN I.4.S. CONSERVATION AWARD 
By an overwhelming vote, the Board of Directors of the Tllinois Audubon Society 
| selected Mr, and Mrs, Richard B. Hoger of 2S101 Park Blvd., Glen Ellyn, as 
winners of the Conservation award for 1962. The Hogers were nominated by the 
Chicago Ornithological Society for their outstanding work in treating over 2,000 
sick and injured birds, curing and releasing over 465 of them. They have carried 
on this work, at first entirely at their own expense, for almost ten years. The 
Hogers are non-professionals who manage the Willowbrook Wildlife Haven for the 
DuPage County Forest Preserve District--part time for Dick Hoger, and full time 
for his wife! The Haven is a receiving station for injured and helpless wild 
animals and birds, brought in from all over the county and nursed back to health 
by the devoted care of the Hoger family (the children help, too). Presentation 
| of the Conservation Award will be made at the annual Meeting of the I. A. S. in 
| Naperville in May -- see the date above -- don't miss it! 
MARCH BULLETINS IN APRIL 
Paul Lobik, Editor of the AUDUBON BULLETIN, asked that we publish an 
apology for the late mailing of the March 1962 issue. All of the 
authors and Christmas Census compilers submitted their material in 
plenty of time, and the copy went to the printer in February. Then, 
in a frustrating chain of events, one printer demanded an exorbitant 
price for setting the Christmas Census Report Chart, another printer 
tried it and gave up when his typesetter broke down, and a third 
printer set the chart wrong and had to do it agein. Result--the 
latest mailing of the March BULLETIN in over ten years. Mr. Lobik 
says the Junc issue will be composed by a new printer.
