Ice Age National Park — Provides for the preservation of swamps, lakes 
and moraines in a long narrow strip through 33 counties in Wisconsin along 
the lines of the Kettle Moraine State Park. 
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park — One of the most 
quaint and serene areas of the Eastern United States near the National 
Capitol would be preserved, from the Great Falls of the Potomac River to 
Cumberland, Maryland. This area is of great historical interest; the bill 
would protect 15,000 acres. 
Federal Water Pollution Control Program — In three stages, the several 
bills seek to provide funds for technical assistance to states and munici- 
palities for construction of sewage treatment plants, and will provide funds 
for research into air and water pollution.

Dr. Lewy Book Award to Lake County 
EACH SPRING THE Illinois Audubon Society presents to various public li- 
braries and schools in the state a small gift of books dealing with nature 
and the outdoors. The project is part of our educational and conservation 
work, and is now called the Dr. Alfred Lewy Memorial Book Award in honor 
of the work he did in a lifetime of ornithology study. 
The presentation was made this year in a public ceremony at the Chicago 
Natural History Museum on April 19, and was designed to honor the 
citizens of Lake County for their establishment of a Forest Preserve Dis- 
trict after a successful referendum last November. The district will not only 
protect forest lands but marshes and wetlands. The award was accented by 
Mrs. Frank Untermyer of Deerfield, who is Chairman of the Citizens Ad- 
visory Board of Lake County district. 
Among the books presented were ‘Reading the Landscape,” by May T. 
Watts; “A Guide to Bird Watching,” by Joseph Hickey; and ‘North Ameri- 
can Birds of Prey,” by Alexander Sprunt, Jr. The books will be distributed 
in the county on a geographical basis and may serve to inspire local civic 
groups to duplicate the gift. 
TRIBUTE TO A DETERMINED KINGFISHER 
By EMELINE ENNIS KOTULA 
Someone built a summer cottage 
Beside your favorite stream 
And then uprooted your best perch 
(It was a vicious scheme.) 
But you have had the last laugh 
In this ribald affair: 
They put up a TV antenna 
And now you fish from there.
