wearing out the region near the parking area. Because the water in Lake 
Michigan is cold in this area, there are many more picnickers than bathers. 
They come to the park on some summer holidays in much greater numbers 
than can be accommodated at present. The number admitted to the park is 
limited by the parking space available. There has been a tendency to over- 
flow into the educational or nature study area. This condition should be 
improved this summer. 
A new road has been surveyed, and it is promised for this year. It in- 
volves an extension of Highway 173 into the north end of the park and 
south to the present parking area. It is expected that other parking areas 
will be placed along the road to the north. This arrangement should help 
in keeping picnickers away from parts of the park where there should be 
no picnicking. 
If the important natural features of the park are to be preserved, much 
more land is needed. There are privately owned tracts between the park 
and the railroad, some of which project into the park. These should be 
added to the park in order to protect it from undesirable developments and 
practices. A narrow strip along Lake Michigan extending from the north 
boundary of the park to Camp Logan should be acquired in order to pro- 
vide for the rapidly increasing numbers of picnickers. This should be done 
very soon before the prices asked for the land become prohibitively high.

Old Audubon Bulletins Needed 
THE SOCIETY maintains a file of back numbers of the Audubon Bulletin for 
sale to libraries, other ornithological societies, and bird students requiring 
specific information for bird study projects. The supply of many of the 
older numbers is almost exhausted; “Issue Number One” is now unavailable. 
If you have a collection of back numbers of the Bulletin — No. 20 and 
older — which contain “extras” that you can spare, the Society would be 
happy to receive them. Please write to the attention of the Editor. 
After reviewing the costs of producing the Bulletin, the Board of Direc- 
tors voted that all back numbers, regardless of date, would be sold by mail 
for a higher price — 25c per copy. This is approximately the printing cost. 
Copies sold at the desk before and after the “Audubon Screen Tours;’ at 
the Museum Theater will still be sold at a lower cost, as before, since mail- 
ing expense is saved.
