HERTEL & REUSS BINOCULARS 
|.A.S. field glasses are equal in performance and durabil- 
ity to the finest models anywhere. Yet they cost less 
than half as much as comparable binoculars. They are 
produced by Hertel and Reuss of Kassel, Germany, 
leading designers and makers of quality precision in- 
struments. Illinois Audubon Society has sold these for 
18 years; this income supports our conservation projects.

“Finally, the Corps of Engineers 
has come to life: starting July 1, 
any industrial polluter must apply 
for and get a permit, exactly as 
the Refuse Act of 1899 orders him 
to. In the case of interstate pollu- 
ters, the Corps intends to exact a 
plan and a timetable to clear up 
the pollution. Well and good — 
but in the thousands of cases of 
pollution of a local lake or stream

“So on July 1, the battle will not 
have been won; it will just be

If a polluter doesn’t have a per-

under the statute to ‘vigorously 
prosecute,’ with no ifs and or buts 
about it. 
“I. myself have referred scores 
of cases to the U. S. Attorney, and 
in at least eight cases, he has 
brought suit on them. I intend to

with one stone — making the in-

nicipality find the wherewithal to 
end its pollution.

of days of hearings on the ecologi- 
cally destructive practice of stream 
channelization. The federal Soil
