Yeschek Seeks Fire Wardens' Pay Boost LAC DU FLAMBEAU, Dec. 15 (Special) William R. Yeschek, new assemblyman fof Iron and Vilas counties, said here yesterday that he will seek legislation to raise the pay of emergency fire wardens when the state assembly meets in Madison next month. "The 1943 conservation law provides pay so low that it's ridiculous to ask a man to go-out on the job," Yeschek stated. He said that there should be a minimum wage of at least 75 cents an hour.

The present law reads that emergency fire wardens and all persons employed by them shall receive payment not to exceed 50 cents an hour. Equipment oper-; ators and other specialists are not to be paid more than'60 cents an hour. Tomahawk Women Buried This Week TOMAHAWK, Dec.

There is a library of more than 7,000 a large gym; and for art and music lessons, each is supervised by a full-time teacher. In I the basement is a vast kitchen and i school restaurant where hot lunch- os are served to the pupils at noon without cost. The day before Thanksgiving 130 pounds of turkey with all the trimmings was served. "How would the new district af- feel the Flambeau school? That's what many townspeople want to know," Principal Melvin Swan said. "Would some of the aid money be split up with Tother districts? Would some of our facilities be carried off to other schools? The Flambeau i school doesn't need to be included into any district.

It is doing very nicely by itself. That's what many people say." Tells of Other Side. Swan also suggested that although some taxpayers fear the effect of reorganization upon the Flambeau school, there ar.e others who were in favor of the plan, These people are those who think that some day the federal government might decide to give up the $50,000 payments. It was pointed out also by Swan that the Indians, who comprise most of the population, are against consolidation even though they legally can't do anything about it. The Indians were not pleased when the Flambeau school was turned into a public school last May.

If consolidation now means that the local board loses authority over its own school to a school board in another town, the Indians believe that they will lose all chance of voicing opinions personally on school affairs. "As an educator," Swan said, "I'm for the principle of reorganization. However, I feel that, the present plan includes too much territory to be handled efficiently, and it doesn't solve our problem here." "Our high school children in Flambeau must attend the schools in Minocqua and Woodruff," Swan continued. Minocqua, for example. Thirty of our youngsters go there.

Though their tui- tions are paid for by Flambeau, it still costs the taxpayers in Minocqua $100'to educate each child. Is that fair to those taxpayers?" Swan offered this suggestion: "A'dd five more teachers to our staff, departmentalize from the Seventh to the Twelfth grades, and we can handle the 200 or more high school pupils from both Flambeau and Mercer." Others Express Opinions. When "asked about the Nov. 29 meeting in Minocqua, Swan said, "Regardless of what I think about reorganization, a board should have been elected at that meeting. It was called for that purpose." He added that the people of Flambeau had gone to the meeting with the intention of getting a member from their town on the new school board.

J. C. Cavil of the Indian Agency said. "Yes, I'm in favor of a reorganized school district if it means a consolidated high school fpr the Indian pupils instead of sending them all over the area to attend classes." Deputy Sheriff Bill Chapman said, "I don't think consolidation would work at this time. There's too much friction and too much misunderstanding between the towns for them to work together." Perhaps the Flambeau story was best summed up by a town official who did not care to be named.

"I don't know how the situation stands here at Flambeau. I suggest that the feeling for and against the school district plan is 50-50." Mrs. Archie Akey Dies in Minocqua MINOCQUA, Dec. Funeral services for Archie Akey, 60, who died at 6:15 p. m.
