From John L. Franson, central 
midwest representative of the Na- 
tional Audubon Society (based in 
Kentucky): “One of our major 
functions as Audubon organizations 
is not only local conservation prob- 
lems, but the fact that we can co- 
operate on other issues much as 
we did on the Red River Gorge. 
It is evident that many cooperated 
because we are able to chalk up 
another midwest victory—the Al-

CHANGING YOUR ADDRESS? 
Third class mail—like copies of THE AUDUBON BULLETIN— aren’t 
forwardable anymore. Therefore, if you’re changing your address, 
it’s important you advise the IAS office (1017 Burlington Ave., 
Downers Grove, Ill.) at least four weeks before you plan to move. 
Otherwise, you'll simply lose the issue—and mistakenly blame the 
management—and cost your Society 10c for each copy returned 
as undeliverable.
