JANE TESTER RETIRES FROM IAS BOARD 
A family move to Colorado has forced Mrs. Jane Tester to retire from 
the Chairmanship of the Clean Streams Committee and the IAS Board 
of Directors. She had served on the Board since May, 1959. In addition to 
her conservation activity with the state society, Mrs. Tester has served 
a term as Corresponding Secretary of the Natural Resources Council of 
Illinois, and as Secretary of the Illinois Citizens Committee for Nature 
Conservation which aided in the passage of the Illinois Nature Preserves 
Act. She also maintained an interest in the clean streams committee of 
the Rockford League of Women Voters, often appearing before public 
commissions at vital hearings. At one time, Jane Tester also served as 
a reporter and columnist for the “Rockford Daily Graphic.” She often said 
that her early childhood in the Adirondacks gave her the inspiration to 
help save some of the natural beauty of America. As she and her family 
moves on to the majestic mountain country of Colorado, all of us wish 
her well.
