Mrs. Kenneth Fiske, Jr., of Woodstock, a founder and former president of the county chapter and a vice-president of IAS, is chairman for the census, with the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde -Titus of Crystal Lake. Eight team captains were named ataplanning meeting held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wilcox of Woodstock earlier this month. Mrs. Fiske described the precise outlines of their territories so that there will be no overlapping in reports of birds counted. She also gave them maps and explained that each team must include at least three people, insuring correct identification of the bird species seen. The work is to be done any eight hours of Saturday, Dec. 28, but preferably between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Teams are not yet complete, and additional club Members wishing to participate are asked to telephone the Tituses or Mrs. Fiske as soon as possible.

"Field applications," meaning those which could be picked up at auto dealers, currencyex- -changee changes, notaries public and similar outlets, will no longer be accepted, he said. This procedure change becomes necessary, Mr. Powell said, because of the re-examination program, which also goes into effect Jan. 1, under which all drivers will be examined once every nine years. As has been done for the last three years, each driver will be sent a renewal notice approximately 30 days prior to the eviration of his license, but in addition, those drivers who are to be examined will receive a notice to that effect. To be sure that those persons to be; examined actually take the examination, applications hot received directly from the Secretary of State's office can no longer be honored, Mr. Powell explained. Drivers who fail to receive the renewal notice may secure application request forms from the local drivers' license examining stations or write to the Drivers License Division in Springfield requesting the applications, Secretary Powell said. In making the written request, they should be sure to give their full names, addresses, birthdates and drivers license numbers,he added. In addition, the request forms will be available through currency exchanges and some other outlets, Mr. Powell said. •> ^ Gifts That Grov.
