The class has established a small fish halchery c,n lhc Dewey Sigo property in thc Kamilchc area and at present hav.e about 15,000 salmon eggs in trays hatching. 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, Whitener said. Salmon eggs earln Gov. Daniel J.

"'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.

The salmon eggs in the trays should hatch in about six weeks, depending on the water temperature. normally hatch in the late winter or early spring. After the eggs hatch out, tile young salmon will be kept in the tanks and fed until about the time scllool is out, Whitener said. They will then be released illtO a Slllall pond which can bc hlocked off fronl the salt water. They will later be released into the salt water. Whitener said if any of the chum salmon return to the snlall creek into which they will be t,laced, they will be from those hatched out in the ,experiment since there :ire no salnlon in the creek now.

Paste stated the ptirpose of the bill to create a I)cparttnenl of Environnlental Quality was to bring the direclion el efforts against walcr pollution, air pollution, water resources and solid waste disposal all under one direction instead of several with different requirements as it is now. The proposed Seacoast Management Act would avoid the kind of probletns which have developed over Aldcrbrc, ok. At the present time, hc commented, the conservationists have the upper hand since they can direct, all of their efforts to each specific proposal as it ct)mes up. The propc, sal.
