    CMPS Annual Business Meeting Minutes, 1954-2018 1954 February 20: Colorado A & M College, Ft. Collins, Colorado. As Part of the Foresters’ Days Program, Lee Yeager, Regional Representative, Region IV, called a meeting at 2:00 p.m. to discuss The Wildlife Society and its objectives. After remarks on Society news and activities, discussion was opened on the question “Should we organize a Section or other formal body of Wildlife Society members for all or a part of Region IV?” Taking part in this discussion were Lee Yeager, J. V. K. Wagar, Art Eustis, Dr. Sooter, Dr. E. Kalmbach, Johnson Neff, Ralph Hill, Jim Grasse, Reed Fautin, John Scott, Richard Beidleman, Harold Steinhoff, and C. E. Till. Smoky Till moved that “we form a definite organization for Region IV with a President, Vice-President, and Secretary/Treasurer to perfect the organization.” Twenty-three voted for and 1 voted against this motion. Society members thus formally approved the Central Mountains and Plains Section. Harold Steinhoff was acting Secretary. October 28: Lee Yeager, Region IV Representative, in an annual report to TWS members in the region, mentioned that “Region IV is too big…we are in the process of organizing a Section composed of the Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming membership,” and that “other Sections in the region might be beneficial to the Society and our profession.” During the fall of the year, an election of officers was held. 1955 January 26: One hundred six (106) votes were counted for the election of officers and the results were reported to the Regional Representative.

    Taieruseatioa Sectioa DEPT. OF INDUSTRY & COMMERCE ROOM 254 . PHONE 907 473 PROVINCE OF MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING Releasee EkdeMarch 29th, 1956. WINNIPEG - MANITOBA LONG RANGE PLANNING . FOR MANITOBA ROADS Manitoba's Department of Public Works is developing a long-term program of highway construction which calls for a minimum expenditure of 130 million over the next ten years, it was announced by Hon. F.C. Bell, Minister of the department, in the provincial Legislature. This year's 27-million-dollar outlay for roads is the first in- stalment on the long-range plan, Mt. Bell stated. Plans include $92 million for rebuilding and resurfacing of provincial trunk highways; $20 million for extension of the trunk highway system; $15,300,000 for completion of the Trans-Canada highway and $3 million for completing the bypass to the north of Winnipeg. The length of time these projects will take to complete will depend on the amount of aid received from the Federal Government, Mt, Bell stated. Completion of the program could be expected in less than the allotted ten years, he said, if federal aid was expanded. The estimated $20 million for trunk highway extension provides for the addition of 500 miles of highway - location of which will be determined . by traffic counts, Mt. Bell stated. Increased traffic on Manitoba highways is expected to result from the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, the minister pointed out. - 30 - PROVINCE OF MANITOBA PROPOSED HIGHWAY PROGRAMME 1956 - 1957 Location Mileage Nature of work Trans-Canada Highway East P.T.H.
