WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IN ILLINOIS 
One of the goals of IAS is to provide a Wildlife Sanctuary in 
Illinois. To finance such a project, the Sanctuary Fund has been 
created. 
There are many ways in which our members can support 
this fund. A direct contribution can be made in money or 
securities. Or, you can provide for a bequest in your will. Or, 
you can provide actual land itself. 
Perhaps you may want to memorialize such a sanctuary 
in the name of someone in your family. 
The Sanctuary Fund, with all that it implies, gives IAS 
the means to perpetuate those things we hold dear in the 
great world of the outdoors. —Charles Lappen 
A WREN HOUSE, AND 
A ROBIN SHELTER

Mr. Robin for granted. So, put up 
shelter for him (right). | 
Attach the shelter—open on thr 
sides—in the crotch of a tree or ¢ 
the side of the house or garage. A 
unused bird feeder with glass remov« 
is ideal. | 
Make a wet spot for Friend Rob: 
to find mud for the nest and to attra 
his worms, and plant a shrub whic 
yields juicy berries for him. He’ll briz 
summer-long cheer. —Walter Vo
