Mrs. Carlson and Mrs. Aldridge 
Resign from IAS Board 
We note with regret two resignations caused by family moves to other 
states of two staunch board members from Park Ridge: 
Mrs. Gertrude Carlson has served the society in the position of record- 
ing secretary, annual arrangements chairman and as chairman of the local 
afiairs committee. Her complete dependability, interest, and talent made 
her tower above many of those who have served as volunteers in the 
society’s long history. We shall miss her presence very much. 
Mary Aldridge served briefly on our board as chairman of the roadsides 
committee where she was just getting familiar with the aspects of the 
problem. She also served as chairman of the conservation committee of 
the Audubon Society of Park Ridge. 
Both Mrs. Carlson and Mrs. Aldridge served as president of their 
local societies. We wish them well.
