The theme of the Division of Wildlife Resources at the 1975 Illinois 
State Fair was: Wildlife at home. It was pointed out and demonstrated 
by visual example how everyone could assist wildlife populations by 
making his yard attractive to wildlife simply by providing proper food, 
water and shelter requirements. In addition, the 12-page illustrated 
booklet prepared by the National Wildlife Society entitled: “Invite 
Wildlife to your Backyard” was available to the public as a simple guide 
in preparing one’s yard for the benefit of wildlife. Audubon members de- 
siring to obtain a copy of that booklet at no charge may do so by 
requesting one from: Division of Wildlife Resources, Department of 
Conservation, 100 E. Washington, Springfield, Il. 62706.

EDITORIAL APOLOGY: 
Due to unavoidable circumstances caused by an outside contract by 
a former editor, the Christmas Bird Count Table in the Spring Issue 
of the Bulletin had to be published as presented; hopefully, this 
will not happen again. In the future, look for several modifications 
in the presentation of the Christmas Bird Count information.
