GLEANINGS FROM IAS BOARD MEETINGS 
By Mrs. Alice Webster 
_ A News Release by Press Secretary R.M. Barron brought in several hundred re- 
quests for free Bluebird house plans. Each writer also recieved our new set 
of IAS Bluebird Educational Cards. 
The Board approved a program to provide each chapter with ten Hawk charts, 
which in turn will be distributed free to schools, libraries, sports center, etc. 
The Patz Co. in Wisconsin has recently donated $100.00 to the fund to help save 
the Prairie Chicken in Illinois. Wouldn't it be great if some Illinois firms 
responded as well to such appeals. Mrs. J. Moser of Chicago has sent out several 
hundred letters to business firms asking for funds to save the Prairie Grouse. 
She has been joined by fellow Regional Secretary Blanche Cone of Willow Springs. 
The FALL CAMPOUT WILL BE HELD AT EAST BAY CAMP AT BLOOMINGTON, ILL. ON SEPT. 
20, 21. THE CARDINAL AUDUBON CLUB IS THE HOST. 
The Illinois Audubon Society has made a bounty survey in each of our 102 count- 
ies. It is not yet complete. The state does not maintain a bounty system. 
Each county makes this decision. Any reform of the bounty system must be made 
/ on a local basis. Local clubs and chapters are encouraged to seek allies among 
other conservation clubs in their counties to provide for this long needed reform. 
Regional Secretary Sally Greco has been working to educate store owners and 
Manufacturers regarding the plight of the Alligator. At one time there were 
Over one million alligators on the Florida Everglades. Poaching and poor laws 
have reduced this number to less than 20,000. 
President Raymond Mostek journeyed to Ottawa-Peru area to help establish the 
new “Starved Rock Audubon Society." Jim Hampson of Mendota was the spark 
behind the move to establish a new group in the Illinois River Valley.
