I. A. S. Hails a New Sanctuary 
MorRE THAN A YEAR ago, the Directors of the Illinois Audubon Society wrote 
a letter of appreciation to Mrs. Cecil Best Rawson of Bureau, Illinois. For 
some time, she has been protecting the land and water birds that come to 
the marsh area she owns along the Illinois river near Bureau. The Society 
commended her for her unselfish action. 
As a reaction to this letter, Mrs. Rawson rejected a proposal to drain the 
marsh. Instead, she established the area as a definite bird sanctuary and 
leased part of the waters to a fishing club. Certain parts of the marsh, 
where many birds nest, were closed off even to the boats. As a result, both 
migrating and resident birds in the Illinois River Valley have a new haven. 
The State is fortunate in having people like Mrs. Rawson who can demon- 
strate their love for wild creatures by practical action — so much more 
valuable than lip service. Only a few areas of Illinois have been set aside 
as bird sanctuaries in recent years (we do not consider “Public Shooting 
Grounds” to be sanctuaries). The Society is proud to feel that, in a small 
way, their letter of encouragement to Mrs. Rawson was instrumental in 
her decision to go “all out” to help the birds. We hope that her “Bureau 
Marsh Bird Sanctuary” will be a haven for our wild life (and a paradise 
for fishermen) for many years to come. Thank you, Mrs. Rawson!
