A SPECIAL THANK-YOU to the Kane County Chapter for its hospitality at our Annual Meeting. The work ... The 
Dedication ... For Weeks.... For Months... With Our Own Mary Glenn Kirkland as Chairman of this exciting event. 
We also owe a big thank-you, which was inadvertently omitted from our official report, to Bill Haydon for one of 
the most beautiful bird hikes during last fall’s camp-out. The Haydon’s Christmas tree farm in Antioch, with its 
naturalized lake, designed by Bill himself, and the landscape plantings which have now been established for several 
decades provide an outstanding sanctuary for birds and an achievement in conservation. 

READER FINDS POETRY IN POLLUTION 
To the Editor, 
Betty Groth 
In this past year much has been said, and much more has been published in regards to our polluted waterways. It has 
been my pleasure to have been part of the action taken by the village of Riverside, Illinois in leading a fight for tertiary 
treatment of sewage dumped into our Des Plaines River. A brief summation of our river situation throughout the land may be 
found in the following poem which was published in the Suburban Life newspaper on February 10, 1971. 
The poem was a follow-up to the hearing of the Illinois Pollution Control! Board meeting at the Riverside town hall, 
regarding the pollution of the river and the treatment thereof. The turn-out of concerned citizens was rewarding to me. Proof 
that everyone can be a part of the action is he or she really cares.
