For many Westerners, the Japa nese woodblock print calls to mind images of the ukiyo-e school of printmaking. Literally. "pictures of the floating world." ukiyo-e prints dealt with primarily with the secu lar pleasures and amusements enjoyed by the beautiful women and handsome men who lived and wor ked in the red-light district Edo (present-day Tokyo). Noted for their originality of design and brillance of color, ukiyo-e prints flourished for nearly 200 years between 1680 and 1880.

A laboratory report of the samples taken from the detectors states there to be no significant incidence of radon in the Warm Springs area. According to Warm Springs sani tarian Wayne Potter, the recorded radon gas level "was below any recommended guidclines."The high est level was found in a residence in the Tcnino Valley where the reported level was 3.6 pico curies. The level for concern is 4.0. says Potter. Radon, a radioactive stable gaseous element formed bv the dis integration of radium, is emitted from some geologic formations.

The treaty was needed because both countries were harv esting salmon that originated in the other country. In the treaty, the U.S. and Canada agreed on the principal that each nation would be the primary beneficiary of its own salmon production.

The new chairman described some of those issues as determining whether the 15-year chinook rebuilding plan is on sche- ency and privileges, demonstrative and documentary evidence, opin ion rule, hearsay exceptions, recorded recollections, constitutio nal limitations of evidence, exper imental and scientific evidence, busi ness and public records and child witness examination, also problem solving session were included.
