THE BALD EAGLE — ENDANGERED NATIONAL EMBLEM 
SS eee sss asNcnatnsnomeanereneeee 
Illinois is one of the great states in the nation for wintering Bald Eagles, They 
are seen in fairly large numbers in the Tri-City area, along the Mississippi River, 
If you would like to keep our National Emblem flying, you ean do at least 4 things; 
1- Send your used commemorative Postage Stamps to the Florida Audubon Society, 
Drawer Seven, Maitland, Fla, Funds raised thru the sale of these stamps 
to dealers help pay for wardens to guard eagle nests in Florida, Your club 
can make this stamp collection a local project, or you can do it as an 
individual, 
2- Send one dollar for a lifetime membership in the Bald Eagle Club to Mrs, 
Vera Shaw, Illinois Audubon Society, Route two, Olney, Ill. 62450. You 
will receive a lifetime wallet card, and a leaflet on hawks and eagles, 
The funds are used for our educational campaign in Illinois, 
3- Bald Eagles, though protected by federal law since 1940, are still being 
shot by ignorant and careless hunters, Report violations to local game 
warden, to the county sheriff and to the Illinois Audubon Society. We 
should like to receive any news clippings from local papers regarding the 
illegal shooting of eagles and hawks, We take up the matter with local 
authorities and help educate the local people, 
4- Order a set of the new "Birds of Prey" postal cards. Use them as enclosures 
when you pay your bills by mail, send them to friends and public officials, 
write a letter on the back to your local editor. You can get a free set of 
ten if you will send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope marked Birds of 
Prey, Illinois Audubon Society, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, ' 
Ill. 60605. Do something - it's better than nothing,
