AN EXPANDED EDUCATICNAL REPRINT PROGRAM 
Not content with a quarterly AUDUBON BULLETIN; a quarterly NEJASLETTER: and an AUDUBON 
WILDLIFE FILM PROGRAM, the Board of Directcrs has expanded our educational reprint program, 
Over the past several months, the IAS has printed and distributed over 5000 copies each of 
NOPEN SPACES IN ILLINOIS" by Betty Groth, "THE PESTICIDE MENACE" by Mrs. lee Jens, "FOOD 
AND SHELTER FOR THE BIRDS" by Edward Ford, and "LET'S RESCUE OUR ROADSIDES-NOW" by Michael 
Frome. Other reprints are also being planned. 
THE TOWNSHIP MeMBSRSHIP PLAN 
If your Audubon Club is seeking more members, why not try the direct approach? IteLs 
estimated that there are several million bird watchers in this country, but only a few be- 
long to clubs. If your meeting notices have not brought much response and if your ads in 
the local press have come to naught, we suggest that you set up a team of volunteers. 
Assien three persons to cover each township in your county on the first Saturday in May, 
1965. Let one person do the driving. The other two persons can sight not birds, but 
bird-houses and bird-feeders. When such an object is sighted, two persons can approach the 
owner of the home, literature in hand, describing the history and activities of your local 
Audubon Club, Ring the bell. Hand the literature to your new ally and possible new member; 
exchange a few friendly words (don't linger too long), and then move on to the next yard or 
estate. Get the name and address if possible for a follow-up. After a couple hours of 
this, meet at someone's home or a forest preserve or park for a barbecue and an exchange of 
notes and experiences. If your Club has no literature, mimeograph or print some, The 
Illinois Audubon Society may even be able to spare some material to help you out. You can 
even be home in time to watch the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on TV. Maybe you'll 
want to tell us about it over coffee at our Davenport meeting on May 14-15-16, 1965, at 
Davenport, Iowa,
