INDIANA SAND DUNES FACES FINAL HURDLE 
The fifty-five year old campaign to save the Indiana 
Dunes of northern Indiana as a National Lakeshore may come 
to a successful close this year if conservationists indicate 
they want this bill to pass the Congress this spring. There 
is every indication that they do. Many conservationists are 
writing letters to the papers in support of the national 
lakeshore, 
The Save the Dunes Council is urging that everyone 
concerned should at least write to: 
Cong. Wayne Aspinall, Chairman 
House Committee on Interior Affairs 
House Office Bldg., Washington, D.C. 
and 
Cong. Ralph Rivers, Chairman 
House Subcommittee on Parks and Recreation 
House Office Bldg., Washington, D.C. 
Cong. Charlotte Reid, of Illinois, is a member of the 
House Interior Committee. She should be urged to support the 
passage of the dunes bill, It mst first be heard by the 
Interior Committee and passed on by the full House, It has 
already passed the U.S. Senate under the guidance of 
Sen. Paul H. Douglas, ’ 
The bill would provide for a national lakeshore of over 
11,000 acres, IT IS URGED THAT THE BILL BE PASSED AS IT IS 
WITHOUT ANY CRIPPLING AMENDMENTS, Refer to HR No. 51. 
Copies of the hearings held at Valparaiso,Ind. are now 
available from your Congressman. Write him for a copy at the 
Same time you ask for his Support. The need is urgent,
