HELPFUL ADVIC3 FOR PROGRAM CHAIRMEN 
HEAPPUL ADVIC2 FOR PROGRAM CHAIRMEN 
Several of our affiliated organizations have inquired regarding program material which 
could be used at their local meetings, The following may give them a Starting point: 
~The Illinois Dept. of Conservation has issued a pamphlet listing 16 mm. sound and color 
/ conservation movies which are available on loan to any Illinois organization, The list 
may be obtained from the Film Loan Service, Division of Education, Department of 
Conservation, Room 113, State Office Bldg., Springfield, 111, 
Two excellent movies, "The Gooney Bird" and "Strange Birds of Midway Island," have been 
produced by The Outboard Marine Corporation, and can be obtained from Solans Studios, 
Box 1068, Naples, Fla, Both of these films can be rented for the price of return postage, 
Several slide programs are available from The Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary, and informa- 
tion regarding these may be obtained by writing to Mrs. Katherine Conners (Custodian), 
52 West Road, Dune Acres, Chesterton, Ind, 
Probably one of the most rewarding methods of obtaining program material is by exchanging 
Speakers with other Audubon Societies, Sportman's Clubs, etc. Most affiliated organiza- 
tions have several members who are avid nature photographers and can present some of 
their slides or movies as programs. This method was initially used by the Kishwaukee 
Audubon Society and Barrington group, and proved most rewarding, 
Some organizations feel that movies are the only type of program. A good Speaker can 
prove most interesting and can relate mich valuable information, Another idea would be 
to have members bring exhibits relating to nature hobbies, Reviewing nature books would 
be another possibility. There are numerous ways in which you as members can help your 
Society. It's up to you and your program chairman to pick the Subjects that would be 
most interesting,
