    Governor Kohler appointed this committee in 1953 at the re-

 Tribe. Its purpose is to advise and confer with the planning com-
 mission during the transitional period between withdrawal of

     Board of Health; representatives of the woman and child
     labor department and the state employment service of the In-

     Education; the Department of Public Instruction; the Gover-
     nor's Commission on Human Rights; the division of child
     welfare and youth services and the division of public assistance
     of the Department of Public Welfare; and the Executive
     Office.
   A committee to co-ordinate the work of a group of state agencies
interested in the problems of migratory labor was created in 1950
to consider ways to improve the lot of migratory farm workers in
Wisconsin and to prevent misunderstandings which have occurred
in other states in recent years.
   The committee encouraged the formation of the State Migrant
Committee, composed of members of the interagency committee, the
agricultural extension division of the University of Wisconsin, com-
munity representatives, professional and lay workers, and em-
ployer representatives. Administrative functions of the committee
have been assumed by the Wisconsin Welfare Council.
