The meeting of the Beard of Directors with the Forestry, Fish and Game Commis- sion last May was discussed. It was the Societyqs intention to work with the Commission to include research and protection of non-game species in the state. President Thompson felt that a combinatian of several agencies into a Natural Resources Board may be in the future.

KOS is a tax exempt organization and a clerical problem regarding the Society's tax status has been resolved.

President Thompscn reported on the April. 7, 1974, meeting of the Board a t the Dingus Natural Area near Mound City, Kansas. 168 ac r e s of mixed oakhickory forest has been donated by Wilson and Eunice Dingias to the Nature Conservancy. KOS has the option of leasing or acquiring the land from Nature Conservancy. The Board recommends that the Society lease the area for a period of 5 years with Bob Weese and Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Concannon of Mound City to serve a s a Management Committee. Orville Rice moved to impower the Board to work out a 5-year lease agreement. The motion was seconded and carr ied.

At the Winter Board Meeting it was decided to establish a Merit Award for Outstanding Service to the Society. Members may nominate recipients to be voted by the Board. The f i rs t awards would be presented at the evening banquet.

The meeting was adjourned.

At the banquet the Resolutions Committee extended the Society's thanks and appreciation to Convention Chairman Walter E. Boles and h is committee for the excellent arrangements and facilities a t Kansas State Teachers College. The f i r st Merit Awards for Outstanding Service to the Society were given to Amelia Betts and Marvin Schwilling.
