Books FOR CHRISTMAS are a welcome gift, particularly to your nature- 
minded friends (or to yourself, for those blustery winter evenings). The 
I. A. S. Bookstore at our Screen Tour Lectures also operates a mail order 
service for late shoppers. Income from book sales helps to defray the day- 
to-day expenses of carrying on the work of the Society. To order, write 
today to Mr. LeRoy Tunstall, Book Committee Chairman, 323 East Wesley 
Street, Wheaton, Illinois. Make your remittance out to the Illinois Audubon 
Society and add 25¢ for postage to each order. These books are in stock 
for prompt delivery:
