GIVE A DOLLAR FOR THE PRATRIE CHICKEN REFUGE 
It has been suggested that we make an appeal to every member of the 
Illinois Audubon Society to donate at least one dollar to the Prairie Chicken 
Fund during the month of November, 1961. Many persons who have intended to 
make a contribution have so far failed to do so and hereby are reminded of 
another opportunity. Others have wanted to make a contribution but felt 
that their single dollar could not match ingenerosity the fine contributions 
of others. You are now invited to remove that dollar bill from your wallet 
or purse, no more, no less, put it in an envelope with a piece of paper 
bearing your name and address, and send it to: Prairie Chicken Foundation 
of Illinois, 819 N. Main St., Rockford, Illinois. If every member of a 
conservation group in our state gave at least one dollar, 100 pennies, the 
Prairie Chicken could be saved. Let us make this possible...
