You know what an important part birds play, protecting crops and all 
plant life from the attacks of insect pests, and adding to the music of the 
out-of-doors and to its color and beauty. The economic and aesthetic values 
of birds demand that the most thoughtful and far-reaching effort be 
éxerted for their protection. We ask you to consider our cause and to 
join us in an effort to realize the ends toward which we work. All fees 
and bequests other than those paid annually are held in an Endowment 
Fund, only the income from which is used for current needs, No officer or 
director is paid and all money received is used for the advancement of the
