More Objectives for Audubon Members 
Create sentiment in your neighborhood for wild life protection. (In- 
cluding hawks and owls among the birds, also mammals and wild flowers. ) 
Feeding the birds in winter, especially in times of strenuous weather. 
Help to organize bird and nature study clubs. 
Combine efforts with clubs and societies having similar objects in 
view. (Garden, women’s, and golf clubs, boy and girl scouts, chapters of 
the Isaac Walton League, etc.) 
Work toward enactment of a cat ordinance in your town. (Cats are, 
after man, the worst enemies, one accounting for from 50 to 200 birds a 
season. For a model cat ordinance write to the Audubon Society office, 
national or state. ) 
Work toward setting aside suitable areas and parks as wild life 
refuges and preserves. 
Work toward having farmers make their lands bird preserves, and 
allowing no-hunting signs to be put up on their property. 
Lecture before school classes, clubs, etc. 
Write articles or letters of remonstrance or information to news- 
papers. 
In this and similar ways may an Audubon member live up to his or 
her name, and do something worth while for the community and our 
harassed wild things. 
Other State Audubon Societies 
No doubt most of our members are familiar from “Bird Lore” or 
other sources with the fact that the Audubon movement is represented in 
all states by state societies. Some of these are very active and highly efficient. 
Before us lies a copy of the “Jack-Pine Warbler,” the bulletin of the 
Michigan Audubon Society. The “Jack-Pine Warbler”’ is, of course, the 
Kirtland’s Warbler, a name to which they are more entitled than any- 
one else. Here is a partial list of contents, showing the range of their in- 
terests: The Hunting Instinct; How to Organize a Bird Club; Affiliated 
Club Memberships; Winter Feeding Contest; Suggestions for Winter 
Feeding; A Tribute to Character; Sanctuary; Baiting; etc. 
The Indiana Society is another lively one. It has a peculiar way of 
keeping alive old and kindling new interest by having its annual meetings 
in various cities all over the state. It also publishes a bulletin of a high de- 
gree of excellence. What can we do? GOAMEG ehrapie
