able to operate and keep the mill busy in any kind of weather. The above picture shows some of bhe Villair Lum

The Club has been active in spon
soring a conservation program in the
Illinois Valley and we believe a good
foundation has been laid, perhaps the
results are not apparent but it takes
years to rebuild our wildlife resources
once they are let run down. We need
the active support of every one in
the Illinois Valley, as our organized
efforts are the sure way to make our
program successful. Your member
ship and cooperation will be appre
ciated in making 1941 a successful
year for wildlife conservation.
