Show But Need Generators, Etc. At Traditional HogiWi? WQDteoS KIot Party All-Nig- ht BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah Thursday, June 1, 1972 Graduates Whoop It Up l!n UDdloc ITeratf There will be at least a brief delay in plans to erect a tent city for migrant workers in Box Elder county, a Utah Migrant council spokesman said Wednesday. Francisco Reyes, coordinator for the migrant council, said there is a need to accumulate enough generators, portable latrines and water to support the proposed tent community. Plans to erect a tent city not only in Box Elder but neighboring Weber county came from the migrant workers themselves, Reyes said. An Ogden newspaper Wednesday afternoon quoted Rudy Hernandez, regional director, as saying the Weber tents will go up at Kanesville next week on donated land. "To start with, we will put up 10 to 20 tents and plan one family in each tent, he is quoted as saying. Didn't Reflect Militancy Comments by Reyes here Wednesday didnt reflect the militancy indicated in a wire service report of a migrant workers mass meeting in Ogden Sunday. That story pictured the tent city plan as a means of providing living quarters and protesting the lack of adequate housing in northern Utah. Reyes said the migrant council is providing technical assistance to the workers, most of whom come into the area from Texas. He noted the Box Elder tent city may be set up on a parcel owned by the migrant council near Corinne. The ground was originally acquired for a housing project. Acknowledging that housing is not adequate, Reyes disclosed that he and two other migrant council aides will visit with officials at Intermountain school today (Thursday) in an effort to gain temporary housing there. Continue to Arrive Despite the loss of most fruit in the area to spring frost, migrants have continued to arrive here as if it were a normal year when work is provided first in the sugar beets, then fruit crops and finally tomatoes. Governor Calvin L. Rampton has asked authorities in Texas and other southern states to discourage migrants from coming to Utah this year because of the fruit loss. However, Reyes said Wednesday this didnt have much effect." He estimated there are 110 to 125 migrants in the area now and they are continuing to come as they did a year ago when the peak was up to 400 workers. Only Meager Success area drive soliciting funds for incoming migrants who wont find work had only meager success. Reyes said they collected coin from business houses and local offices Tuesday and contributions totaled only about $100. "Some had only a penney, he commented. "Were still planing dances and other things to raise funds to help the people until the tomatoes come on, he added. The coordinator said it was uncertain how many migrants will remain here when they find no work is available in the fruit. Some may move on to other places. Most that are here now plan to stay for the tomatoes, he explained. Tomatoes dont come on until late summer. Reyes said getting adequate housing is our first most of our problem priority. Some migrants have been sleeping in cars and parks, he added. A local can-niste- the students as they ate. A hypnotist, female vocalist, dance band, musical variety performer Lee Fugal and a 6 a.m. swim at the municipal pool were other features of the annual funfest.
