Mrs. Ruth (Huckstead) Braun of Manitowoc, sister of Harold Huckstead and Mrs. Dorothy Scott of Neillsville, has accepted a position with the Wisconsin extension department with headquarters at Montello. The Governor’s committee on Human Rights has secured money for an experimental program for three months this summer in Marquette, Adams and Waushara counties, and Mrs. Braun will work among migrant workers in the three counties.  The project is one that, in the past has been used only in the state of California.  It will cover  the fields of education, nutrition and clothing.  In past years Mrs. Braun has served as home agent in Richland and Manitowoc counties, and for the past few years she has been on the teaching staff at the Manitowoc Vocational school.
