young hung from the nest, already dead. They had evidently been shot by 
the farmer’s help. I sent the farmer a leaflet on what hawks eat, under- 
lining the Red-tailed Hawk. How can we convince farmers that hawks are 
beneficial and are now protected by law?

Mrs. W. DB. Richardson 
WE ReEpoRT WITH deep regret the death of Mrs. W. D. Richardson, 
Honorary Vice-President of the Illinois Audubon Society, at her home 
in Green Acres, Indiana, on July 5, 1960. Mrs. Richardson served 
with distinction as Vice-President of the Society from 1931 to 1950 
— the longest term of any person in that office. Both she and her 
late husband were leading bird students; her husband, a chemical 
engineer, was also an outstanding photographer of birds on the nest. 
In addition to hei service to the Society, Mrs. Richardson was 
active for many years in the work of the Illinois Wildflower Preserva- 
tion Society. During the past few years she had been living in re- 
tirement at Green Acres, on the edge of the Indiana Dunes. With 
the assistance of Mi. C. O. Decker, former Treasurer of the Society, 
and legal counsel, she recently established her home and surrounding 
property in Green Acres as a perpetual Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary 
under the laws of the state of Indiana.

June, 1960 Audubon Bulletins Wanted! 
We hate to admit it, but our attempts to coordinate the number of 
new I.A.S. members with the number of Audubon Bulletins needed 
have again gone awry. We have practically no copies of the June 
issue (No. 114) left for our files at the Museum. If you have one 
or more copies to spare, please mail them at once to The Illinois 
Audubon Society, c/o Dr. R. M. Strong, Chicago Natural History 
Museum, Roosevelt Road and Lake Shore Drive, Chicago 5, Illinois. 
Thanks for your help!
