The newly elected' president, Peter Dring, naturalist at the Little Red Schoolhouse, one of the most popular of the Cook county forest preserves near Willow Springs, south of Chicago, spoke briefly on the drive to raise funds to preserve habitat for the Bald Eagle. Miss Alice Clark of McHenry was recognized and presented President Dring with a check which was the result of the efforts of School District 15.

A half mile rectangle was plotted out and participants from various classes were chosen to make the 'hike'. The foxv youngsters however decided to run instead of walk. The parents and officials agreed, knowing that they would soon tire, in the heat of the day. But they didn't and in the time allotted one youngster circled the course twenty-two times, and others were close behind." Parents and friends who had pledged so much a mile were then put to the test, and made good their unexpectedly large pledges. The result was a check for the Illinois Audubon society's Bald Eagle drive presented by Miss Clark for $1,100. Every winter approximately 500-800 eagles concentrate along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, making this state the major center for this endangered specie. Without SECTION 2 protection in the wintering grounds there would be few healthy eagles returning north for nesting. Since much of the needed eagle habitat along the rivers has been destroyed, preservation of existing habitat is mandatory for eagle sur­ vival. It should be available in large contiguous tracts so that the eagles may complete their daily activities without being disturbed. The Illinois chapter of the Nature Conservancy was asked to designate which lands areas should be acquired; they in­ dicated an immediate need for 600 acres in Hancock county, and pointed out other areas that should ' eventually be pur­ chased'. The Illinois Audubon Society sponsored the drive to raise the funds needed and the first project was a statewide Walk for the Bald . Eagle as announced in a special proclamation by Gov. Walker. The day of the Walk was set for April 25th (Illinois Bird and Arbor Day). "This is the largest single donation from the entire state" exclaimed Mr. Dring. and all members attending the meeting gave a well deserved ovation.
