SPRING MEETING IN NORTH AURORA - MAY 17, 18 
Audubon members who plan to attend the Annual Meeting in North Aurora, at 
the Holiday Inn, on the weekend of May 17th will have an opportunity to hear 
and see illustrated lectures and talks on a variety of topics concerning 
birding and conservation. 
Friday night's session will include a discussion of Falconry. This will be 
followed by a talk and a film by Ducks Unlimited. 
The highpoint of the Annual Meeting will come Saturday afternoon when Mr. 
Vinton Bacon of the Metropolitan Sanitary District will speak to the members 
on "Water Pollution", Mr. Bacon's remarks should be most enlightening in 
defining the pollution problem in Illinois and discussing some courses of 
action and alternatives that are available in combating this menace. 
Jerry Hennen will tell us about the Fox River Canoe Trail. Canoeing is 
a favorite form of outdoor recreation in the USA. 
Also, in the Saturday afternoon session, Dr. Hall will address the members on 
the subject of "Conservation and the Outside World". Ed Brigham, Midwest 
Representative for the National Audubon Society and the North Central Audubon 
Council will show us slides and describe the purpose of Audubon Sanctuaries 
and Audubon Summer Camps.
