The class has established a

15,000 salmon eggs in trays

The project was the idea of
Robert Whitener, principal of the
school and thc fifth and sixth
grade teacher.
The Bureau of Sports
Fisheries and Wildlife in Olympia
along with several other public
agencies have given assistance on
the project.
The Bureau of Sports
Fisheries constructed the dam
which is used to provide flowing
water for the hatching tanks arm
constructed the roof which covers
the tanks.
The Squaxin Indian Tribe
provided the lumber for the
Stl-ucture which covers the
hatching tanks and the Bureau of
Indian Affairs provided the tanks
and trays in which the eggs are
kept.
The State Game Department
provided the salmon, which
included about six females and
three or four males.
Thc Bureau of Sports
Fisheries spawned the salmon and
fertilized the eggs.
The eggs are expected to
hatch in about six weeks,

"'In the United States,
ultimate accountability is
expected to rest with the people,
a principle which is often negated
'by the secrecy and technology of
nlilitary procedures. We have
accepted this negation in
situations where national security
and defense are at stake, but wc
do not see need for such principle
in the case of this hazardous
material•
"There are knowledgeable
people in Congress who deny that
poison gas is part of our military
defensive deterrent. If it were
vital to the security of the United
States, we doubt that it should
have been stored, as far away as
Okinawa. We feel that Asian
people who knew about the
presence of this material must
have considered it a threat to
their independence and security.
President Nixon has requested
ratification of the 1925 Geneva
Accord banning use of poison gas
in warfare. We believe the
credibility of American peace
making efforts before the world
will improve when we begin to
deal positively with our own
proliferation of offensive
weapons. An informed,
enlightened public is an inherent
right in the United States.
"For these initial reasons, we
believe that the Department of
Defense should be responsible to
the people in showing cause for
this decision to add the shipment
'of poison gas to present stores at
Hermiston, Oregon.
"Will you cooperate with us
in requiring public hearings before
the material enters Washington
State? While this issue is a matter
of national policy, the extent to
which Washington State becomes
involved in an abhorrent
procedure is a responsibility of
your ad ministration.

consideration in public service."

or early spring.
After the eggs hatch out, tile
young salmon will be kept in the
tanks and fed until about the time

They will then be released

They will later be released into

Whitener said if any of the
