THE CHRISTMAS BIRD CENSUS—1968 
by Mrs. Harry C. Spitzer 
That's what it says—’The Christmas Bird Census—1968"! This is a 
cry for HEL P! After composing a lengthy article, detailing ways 
for you to assist in the compilation of the 1968 census report and 
table, we discarded it, because two brief sentences will do: 
| 1. Please submit typewritten reports— 
2. Please mail promptly to the address 
below, as soon as possible after 
Count day, so that all reports will 
be in my hands by January 13, 1969. 
Remember, you are working with only one or two reports: we 
handled thirty last winter, and the work sheets cannot even be ruled 
until all reports are received. Late reports will be omitted—as it is, 
we never fail to spend many extra hours revising and refiguring. 
Many thanks for your cooperation. DON’T SEND REPORTS TO 
THE MUSEUM—send to MRS. HARRY SPITZER, 1776 Roger Avenue,
