IN BRIEF, FOR THE RECORD 
by the Bulletin Editors 
THE FALL CAMP-OUT / A feature film, field trips, and the showing of 
members’ photographic slides (“think slides this summer”) will highlight 
ihe IAS Fall Camp-Out, to be held Sept. 21-22 in Kankakee River State 
Park. Mrs. Wallace Kirkland, Jr., 715 Lake St., Oak Park, has all the 
information. 
LETTER TO THE EDITOR / “Asa member of IAS, I protest appearance 
of Abner Mikva’s ‘Does John Doe Have an Inalienable Right to Bear Arms’ 
in the March BULLETIN. This prejudiced and controversial article has no 
place in the official organ of any Audubon Society whose avowed objective 
is protection of wild birds (and) I believe everyone—regardless of their 
views on the gun-control controversy—would have to admit the subject 
is foreign to the aims and purposes of this Society ... I should like to see 
the IAS grow and prosper in its proper field, but when it takes up with 
fanatical reform outside its legitimate province, I will actively fight it ...” 
_-Watson P. Bartlett, Mendota, Il. 
CHRISTMAS CENSUS CORRECTION / From Jean Hartman, Secretary, 
Lincoln Trail Chapter, IAS: “Please correct the Christmas Bird Census 
chart (page 21, March issue) to show 36 as the Clark County figure for the 
Eastern Meadowlark. That figure was mistakenly reported for the Red- 
winged Blackbird which, we don’t believe, winters here. Meantime, 
we are trying to learn, too, if our reported 34 Black-capped Chickadees 
instead might be Carolinas. Dr. Mumford, who lead our count, called them 
Carolinas, but it’s a matter of controversy among bird-watchers here.” 
ANOTHER ANTI-LITTER CAMPAIGN / The New York State Whole- 
sale Beer Distributors Association has retained a public relations outfit for 
its anti-litter campaign. 
CHANGE OF ADDRESS NOTICE / Please keep us informed of your 
change of address. Since postal rates have gone up, we will no longer be 
able to forward the BULLETIN to those readers who have moved without 
notifying us in advance. 
OSPREY SURVEY TO CONTINUE / The north Central Audubon Council 
has organized plans for a continuing study of the Osprey in Wisconsin 
and Michigan. 
HELP THE 4-H CLUBS / Walter Vogl, an IAS director, urges members 
to help promote 4-H Bird Study and Conservation Projects. Mr. Vogl 
will be happy to provide more information to anyone interested in 
this project. 
PEREGRINE FALFON FOUND SHOT / Don Varner of Morrisonville 
reported that a female peregrine falcon with leather straps on its legs 
was found shot in his area. As BULLETIN readers know, it is against the 
law to shoot any hawks or owls in Illinois.
