Rampton is seeking migrant housing assistance from the federal government that would involve seasonal use of existing facilities in Box .Elder county, including Intermountain school. The governor outlined a program Monday in a telegram to the U.S. Health, Education and Welfare multi-pronge- d departments regional offices in Denver. In it he proposed that 20 to 25 homes currently held for sale in Tremonton by the Federal Housing administration be made available for use by migrants. As part of the program, the state would develop a housing management and maintenance team and also provide a damage guarantee and rehabilitate the homes prior to their return to FHA. Its planned that the Utah Migrant council would tap local resources for appliances and beds. Intermountain School Sought governor asked also that Intermountain school be a source of housing in addition to medical and food services for the migrants. Stanley Speaks, director of guidance at Inwho is acting superintendent termountain school this week, said he was notified of the request by the Office The of fe icrnift Wmtsm ?ir Economic Opportunity, Denver, Wednesday morning. Any decision on the use of school facilities must come from the area office at Window Rock, Ariz., he explained. Speaks, acting for Supt. Wilma Victor who is in Washington, D.C., said he expects an answer before the week is out. But at this time, there is nothing on he explained Wednesday afthis, ternoon. Other Area Included The governor also urged federal help to alleviate migrant housing problems in other areas of the state, including approval of housing authority applications. His action came after talks between Utahs interagency committee on migrants and a federal interagency task force headed by Robert Clausing, assistant regional director, OEO. It also followed a discussion last week with members of the Box Elder County Farm Labor association and Reid Thompson, Brigham City Employment Security office. Thompson told the governor that about 200 migrant workers will lack certified housing in the county this summer. Has Inspected Housing It has been the job office spokesman's task since December to inspect labor housing in Box Elder, using federal and state regulations as criteria. The governor was told that approximately 450 workers have come into the county this year and the number will reach a peak of about 650 when the fruit harvest begins. During the past two years, housing has not been the migrants only problem. Theyve had to contend with prolonged rains which kept them out of the fields and thus cut into their earnings. It has resulted in mass requests for food stamps and other assistance from the county welfare department. Contacted Wednesday, LeGrande Tea, local welfare director, said eight families had been in during the day, six of them to qualify for food stamps. Its nothing of significant proportions. Certainly nothing like this time last year when we processed 70 families in one day, Tea reported. i: s i: vsv NYC Program Underway In Local School Distric A Neighborhood Youth corps summer program in Box Elder School district became a reality this past week when approximately 60 youth reported to work stations at schools and in community services.

Sam Gordon, program director for the sponsoring school district, said the youths are providing secretarial, custodial, groundkeeping, 1!! rarian and recreational assistance.
