Binoculars for Beginning Birders 
As A “SUMMER SPECIAL,” the Society is offering a new model of 6 power, 
30 mm binoculars at low cost for young people who are beginning to study 
birds. These binoculars are individual focusing, but their depth of field is 
so great that young people, with their wider accommodation for focusing 
the eye, will be able to use the glasses at a single setting for all birds from 
25 feet to infinity. If you know of a young relative or friend who will be 
studying nature out-of-doors this summer, you would be well advised to 
send him these binoculars as a gift. The price for I. A. S. members is $26.00 
plus 10% federal tax. For information, write directly to our Treasurer, 
Mr. John H. Helmer, 847 Ridge Ave., Evanston, Illinois. 
Books are another good “going away” gift for summer. The Society will 
obtain practically any nature study or conservation book on request, in 
addition to those already listed on the inside back cover. Interested members 
should write to our Book Chairman, Mr. Raymond Mostek, 3345 N. Hard- 
ing Ave., Chicago 18, Illinois. Remember, all purchases go to support the 
work of the Society.
