EDITORIAL 
ERSONAL news in the bird world is difficult to get and it 1s hard to 
understand why those who have interesting items do not send 
them to the editor. 
Much has happened since the publication of the last Bulletin that 
has a bearing on bird protection. The State of Illinois has been very 
backward in setting aside areas for wild life sanctuaries such as state 
parks. Within a few weeks, however, the legislature and the governor 
have sanctioned the purchase of 290 acres of the pine forest in Ogle 
County. This provides an ideal bird habitat as well as the saving of one 
of the most unique timber tracts in Illinois, for no where else in the 
State is there such a pure stand of white pine. It is the southernmost 
white pine forest in this section of the United States.
