NOTES FROM THE NEST: The Natural Resources Council of Illinois 
will hold its annual outdoor conservation conference at East Bay Camp 
at Lake Bloomington on Oct. 7-8-9, 1967. Elton Fawks is chairman of 
the NRCI ... Some 600 billboards have been removed from Arizona 
lands owned by the U.S. Bureau of Public Lands; they were put there 
illegally ... Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin has introduced S. 1025 
which would prohibit the sale of DDT or shipment of it for use anywhere 
in the U.S.A. ... The Estuarine Areas Bills, HR 25, is strongly supported 
for passage by many conservation groups ... Washington Senators Magnu- 
son and Jackson support the North Cascades National Park in S. 1321. The 
bill would preserve more than 610,000 acres under park status of some of 
the most magnificent scenic country in the nation. Almost 99 per cent 
is already federally owned in national forests. The Illinois Audubon Society 
endorsed the Sierra Club proposal several years ago at an annual meeting 
at Allerton Park ... The American Legion is campaigning to establish 
a national cemetery in Joshua Tree National Monument in Los Angeles 
County. It is the home of the bobcat, the desert bighorn, and the coyote. 
This action by the American Legion deserves to be condemned. Conserva- 
tion clubs across the country have been asked to protest this totally 
unwarranted invasion of our national park system for this purpose. 
Congressmen are always pleased to hear from their constituents. Honored 
war dead should be laid to rest in land reserved for such specific purpose.

IAS Consultant Gets National Post 
Dr. Thomas G. Scott, the former chief of wildlife 
research of the Illinois Natural History Survey, 
and for many years a member of the board of con- 
sultants of the Illinois Audubon Society, has been 
named president-elect of The Wildlife Society. 
He takes over the 5,000-member organization be- 
ginning in 1968. 
Dr. Scott served in the Illinois post from 1950 
to 1963 when he left to become head of the depart- 
ment of fisheries at Oregon State University, Cor- 
Velis mOre: 
He has been active in The Wildlife Society programs for 30 years and 
had edited “The Journal of Wildlife Management” for three years. The 
society, headquartered in Washington, is international in scope. Its objectives 
are to facilitate communications, national policies, and education in pro- 
fessional wildlife science and management. 
About Dr. Scott, comments Lee Jens, chairman of the IAS pesticide 
committee: “I cannot say enough about his value to Illinois Audubon.” 
“Personally I’ve called on him innumerable times for help. His assist- 
ance always has been gracious, quick, and excellent, and many times he has 
sent articles and information without my asking.”
