ACTIVITIES• An activity aide works one morning a week with six or eight residents in crafts -- happily working on mosaics, arranging plastic flowers for centerpieces, making looper clip pot holders, crocheting and embroidery, making tote bags, etc., which they sell from a show case; several people with crippled hands and visually handicapped are quite busy. They occasionally play bingo or have records played on a Hi Fi, in the summer sit outside under big umbrellas, play ringtoss or beachball, listen to a concertina.played by an employee. Four women get together for Finnish religious services one evening a week. VOLUNTEERS: The last of their volunteers is a Gray Lady, herself now too ill for regular visits. Two or three years ago there were several Gray Ladies coming in weekly; a librarian comes in occasionally with books. RECOY1 ENDATI ONS : The home may want to consider the following ideas for expanding a program: 1. Toy rifle practice or bowling for wheelchair residents; Build -it -kits, link belts, copper tooling, for men; floral ribbon sachet, textile painting, for women; poetry reading class for anyone who can hear. 2. Making contacts with community groups or individual volunteers might be useful in taking residents for rides, perhaps taking them to their homes for coffee or tea, - April -20;- -1965 -- - - escorting them outside and visiting, doing oral quizzes or playing beachball, meeting with two or three who like poetry or will have a discussion class together, conduct some sing-alongs.

Your Forestry Committee has considered the possibility of leasing this land to the 4-H Association and the State has been contacted as to rules and regulations concerning a lease.

Your Forestry Committee feels that it would be advisable to give this matter furth- er study as to the possibility of finding a suitable location on lands other than Forest Crop.

It has been determined that land owned by Bayfield County and ideally located in the Red Cliff Community, is suitable for public housing purposes. The lands are described as 26 acres, that part of Lot 3 lying west of State Highway No. 13, less B.H. & G.W. Ry. R/W, and, also less that part of Lot 3 lying west of B.H. & G.W. Ry. R/W, section 31, T. 51 N., R. 3 W., The Red Cliff Band would like to acquire this parcel with title to be vested in the United States of America in Trust for the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, as provided by the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat., 984). Our local housing authority has progressed to the point in planning, where the next step is the preparation of detailed plans by its architects of the site to be developed. It appears that until acquisition of the site is completed no further progress can be made towards public housing on this Reservation unless lands now owned by the Tribe, but less suitable for the purpose, are used. I am attaching a signed Resolution of the Council which authorizes the chairman or vice chairman to bid for the land and sign contracts necessary in the acquisition. The authorization also authorizes the payment of purchase price, fees, etc. Early consideration of this matter would be appreciated. Please keep Mr. E. J. Riley, Superintendent, Great Lakes Agency, Ashland, Wisconsin, advised of actions taken; by this land committee, and should a sale to the Tribe be finalized, the deed, resolu- tions of the committee, etc., should,be mailed directly to Mr. Riley. He will order the abstract of title as required, and submit the same to the Field Solicitor of the Department of the Interior for title examination prior to final approval of the deeds by the Area Director, Bureau of Indian Affairs. When the deed has been approved, and not until, will title be vested in the United States of America for the Tribe: After approval, the deed will be made of record with the Register of Deeds and then delivered to me for filing.

The plan for the distribution and administration of the Federal Aid secondary funds becoming available to Wisconsin under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1964 is outlined in the accompanying statement. The provisions of the'plan were discussed with Mr. A. J. Thelen, Executive Secretary of the Wisconsin County Boards Association and the officers of the county highway commissioners and county highway committee members associations ata meeting held in Madison''on'December 2, 1964. The plan was approved as presented at this meeting. The 1964 Act Federal Aid secondary funds apportioned for your county for the two fiscal years 1966 and 1967 are as follows: County Total 2-Year Apportionment Bayfield $184,000.00 These funds may, within the time limitation provided in the accompanying statement, be matched by your county and used on qualifying improvements requested by your county on county trunks or local roads or streets located on the Federal Aid Secondary High- way System or its extensions in urban areas. In planning the utilization of Federal Aid secondary funds, due consideration should be given to qualifying improvements on the F.A.S. System or extensions thereof in cities and villages and to qualifying and desirable extensions of rural improvements into such municipalities. It need not be construed that the 2-year apportionment of Federal -aid secondary funds must be spread over a 2-year period. Within certain limits, which can be deter- mined only after the total program of all counties is known, up to a total of a county's 2-year apportionment may be used in one year. Requests for the programming of projects using 1964 Act funds hereby apportioned may be filed at once. The Commission's District Engineer and the District Engineer -of Secondary Roads will discuss with your county highway committee your potential Federal -aid secondary program, and your county, through your county highway committee, is requested to work i with them in developing a proposed program of improvements on the Federal Aid Secondary, System to utilize the funds apportioned to your county. The program requests by your county highway committee, submitted through the district office, will be subject to re- view by the Commission.

The method of apportionment among the counties of the $12,250,000 for the two years is: 60/ on the basis -of total highway mileage as of January 1, 19645 exclusive of the Federal -aid Primary System and exclusive of other mileage in "urban areas" established pursuant to the Federal -aid highway acts (places of over 5;000 popula- tion); and 40% on the basis of the total number of motor vehicles registered in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1964.

System. If the county has no such plan or an approved program and indicates it has no interest in providing a plan or program, then 50% of the balance outstanding to the credit of the county will revert to the epedi-t-e-f the-Bex Commission for state-wide use. At the end of either calendar year 1965 or calendar year 1966, any county which has adopted an approved improvement program which will require additional F.A.S. funds over and above its proportionate share hereinbefore alloted, may apply to the Commission for such additional F.A.S. funds as will be required to complete the federal aid financing of the approved program. The period of availability for the use of a county's regular allotment as herein provided will be through the calendar years 1965 and 1966. To those counties which request and receive additional F.A.S. funds from the Commission on December"31, 1966 the Commission will extend the period of availability for the use of these funds to June 30, 1967. Any F.A.S. funds not "used" by a county within the time limitations herein set forth will revert to the Commission for statewide use. F.A.S. funds will be deemed to have been "used on a project which has been advanced to the contract state" when bids have been received and the county matching funds have been deposited with the state; or in case the work is to .be performed by day labor, when an acceptable day labor contract has been signed by the county and delivered to the state; or for a project involving only preliminary engineering and/or the acquisition of rights of way, when all acts required of the county prior to placing the project under agreement with the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads have 142 - - -� --- --------_April 219-1965- - -- -- - t - - been performed. When more than one contract is involved in a single F.A.S. project, the determination shall be based on the last contract. Moved by Moniza and seconded by Howell to receive the communication and place on file. Motion Carried. The following communication was read: United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Chequamegon National Forest Park Falls, Wisconsin 54552 Ref er In Reply to: 1310 JC Mr. Edward A. Pajala, Clerk Bayfield County Route #1 Washburn,.Wisconsin 54891 Dear Mr. Pajala: We have recently received copies of the bids for the Clam Lake Youth Corps Center. This Center is to be built near .Chippewa Lake in Sections 15 and 22 of T. 43 N., R. 5 W., Bayfield County. The plans provide for facilities to accommodate 210 youths and Camp staff. The key staff, consisting of the Camp Director and his two principal assistants, will be required to live at the Camp so as to provide 24-hour- a-day supervision. Construction plans are for semi -portable buildings throughout. Three of the buildings will be' used to house the families of the key staff. The bids have been received and have been sent to Washington for final approval and acceptance. The total construction costs will be about $625,000. We estimate that spending by the Youth Corpsmen and staff plus purchases of local services and supplies will add approximately $300,000. per year to the local economy. The Camp is located in a Forestry Zone. We selected this location after talking to the local people of Bayfield and Ashland Counties with the objective of keeping the Camp isolated and with minimum interference with local businesses and resorts. Our main concern now is to determine if the Youth Center is going to cause the County any problems. The Camp fieldwork will greatly benefit such activities as timber culture work, improvement planting, trout stream improvement, and related conservation projects for .which we do not have regular appropriations. This work will result in a major investment in the resources for the future economy of this area.. The buildings are to be of semi -portable construction although we fully expect the Camp to be used for many years in the future. If you believe that the Camp will create some problems, we will be very glad to meet with you and work out a solution. Sincerely yours, Steve Yurich, Forest Supervisor By: E. R. Crook. Motion was made by Bernard Johnson and seconded by Berweger to approve location of the youth corp5center in the Clam Lake area and to refer the communication to the Zoning Committee with power to act. Motion Carried. April 21, 1965 The following Resolution adopted by Langlade County Board was read: A RESOLUTION NO. 65 RE: Bounties on predatory animals Whereas, the State of Wisconsin is not presently paying a bounty on predatory animals and, Whereas, the increase in the population of predatory animals in the past year has been dramatic, which will sharply reduce the number of game birds and animals available to the sportsman, who must pay $4.00 (four dollars) for a small game hunting -license, which, ironically, was increased several years ago, so that a bounty system to control predatory animals would be maintained, and Whereas, contrary to conservation department officials beliefs, the payment of bounties on predatory animals was never intended to eliminate them, but rather, was established to control the population thereof, and Whereas, it is our firm belief, that in order for nature to maintain a proper balance between wild game and predatory animals, the predators of small game must be controlled in order to achieve that balance and Whereas, the payment of bounties on predatory animals provides the hunter and trapper with an incentive for the taking of such animals, so as to control their numbers, and provides reimbursement for expenses incurred in the taking of same and Whereas, on the 7Lh day of January 1965, Health authorities of the State of Tennessee identified 382 positive cases of rabid foxes in a given area and in the same vein the,city of Austin, Texas, reported a similar situation exists, requiring a quarantine to be placed on all animals and, Whereas, we believe that a similar situation could develop in Wisconsin which would create a health hazard to both people and livestock, therefore Be it Resolved, that the Langlade County Board of Supervisors respectfully re- quests the Legislature to re-establish the State bounties on predatory animals and in addition, to provide the necessary funds for payment of such bounties, and Be it further resolved that copies of this Resolution, duly attested, be sent to the Governor, to our Assemblyman and Senator from this district, and also to the County Boards of the other 71 counties. Dated this 2nd'day of February 1965. State of Wisconsin County of Langlade Walter Klimoski Ruben Krause Clarence Rasmussen I, R. M.
