WHY NOT JOIN THE NORTH CENTRAL AUDUBON COUNCIL? 
As the newly appointed membership chairman of the NCAC, I'd like to again offer an invitation to all our 
!AS members and to all Audubon groups to join this fine organization. Dues are $2.00 for individuals and $5.00 
for clubs. 
Following is a list of Illinois groups with membership in the NCAC: Champaign County Audubon Society, Du 
Page Audubon Society, Kishwaukee Audubon Society, Park Ridge Audubon Society, and last but not least, our 
Illinois Audubon Society. 
May this serve as a reminder that it is time to send in dues? Please send them to me at the address below. 
Anyone desiring more information about the work of the NCAC is also asked to write.

TWO GOOD PROGRAMS AVAILALBE — Program chairmen who are thinking of planning their fall schedules, might 
consider these two, new programs: The first consists of 160 colored slides from the famous Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in 
Pennsylvania, and rents for $15. The slides are shipped all ready to use in two standard Kodak carousel trays, and each scene 
is supplied with a commentary. For rental, write to Curator, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Rte. 2, Kempton, Penn. 19529. 
The second suggestion is the new film, ‘The Gifts’’, which has been produced by the Federal Water Quality 
Administration and is a documentary about what has happened to the American landscape during the past two and one-half 
centuries. The film is narrated by Lorne Greene, with background music by Skitch Henderson and is suitable not only for 
Audubon Clubs, but for Civic Organizations, PTA members, and Boy Scout groups. Write to: Federal Water Quality 
Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C. for more details. 
AUK AUCTIONED — According to a news item from Reuters, the highest price ever paid for a natural history specimen, 
$21,600, was paid at an auction at Sotheby’s in London this March. The specimen of the flightless bird, which became 
extinct in 1844, came from Aarholm Castle in Denmark. It was sold to the Icelandic Museum of Natural History which will 
bring the bird back to Iceland where it was captured in 1821. The purchase price was collected with funds donated by the 
Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs of Iceland.
