Date Set for 1964 Meeting — Even as we publish the story of last May’s 
Annual I.A.S. Meeting in Springfield, and even as reservations are pour- 
ing in for the Fall Camp-Out on September 14-15 in Galesburg, Illinois, 
Chairman Alfred Reuss of the Annual Meeting Arrangements Committee 
writes: 
“We are all set for the Spring Meeting next year. The dates are 
May 9-10, 1964. Our headquarters will be the beautiful, new, air-con- 
ditioned Holiday Inn at Joliet. The hosts will be the Will County Audubon 
Society — not a big group, but a bunch of live wires with lots of en- 
thusiasm. This is a real birding area; in easy driving distance we have 
the DesPlaines River, the I. and M. Canal, a State Park, a big strip mine 
area of lakes and brushy ravines, and the memorial gardens. We can 
even arrange a Friday night get-together and nature movie if enough 
people are interested.” 
So there you are, members — set aside the week-end of May 9-10 
right now!
