Garcia, a carpenter, was caughter after his wife told Kites Conducted: ferial lifsS'NEdi Crash Victim Air bathtub because he's aging water in it. There are always buckets of sand or plants scattered around. Once he canceled out my party because he had some new nervous fish in the family room.

He'll spend half the night sitting up with a sick fish. The final straw came two days ago when he stayed home from work because' a pregnant fish was in labor and she might need him! (I'd love to feed all his fish to the neighbor's cat.) Can you please suggest a pet that would get my husband out of the houe again C. R. DEAR C. Your husband is obviously the type who becomes extremely engrossed in his hobby.

Unfortunately, the type of pet most likely to lure him out from underfoot might become even more demanding than his finny friends. (And you couldn't feed her to the cat if you changed your mind, later on.)

Speer said his department's actions had not been as a re sult of the newspaper's editorials.

The road commissioner also expressed some discomfiture at being cartooned as a turtle in the newspaper's pages. PIZZA HOUSE warning sign was installed on the approach to the freeway from the south on Sweetwater Road, plus the regulation boulevard stop signs. The department's traffic engineer recommended safety lighting and channelization for the intersection on Oct. 21st, some three weeks after the first accident, he said in reciting the improvement time table, Plans for the work were drawn Oct. 28, The cost of the project, was approved by the supervisors on Oct.

29th. The purchasing agent started the process of advertising for bids on the electrical work Oct. 28th and had to advertise twice to obtain acceptable bids. The contract was awarded to Ets-Hokins-Galvin Dec. 31st.

THE LIGHTS were turned on last Friday, the day after The Star-News protested editorially about the delays. But the work has not been completely accepted by the county as yet, according to Speer, because of some problems with one of the lights and other details that remain to be corrected. Work at the intersection has included cutting away part of the bank to provide better sight in both directions from the intersections of Sweetwater Road and Valley Road. The flasher warning lights were also installed on the freeway so that traffic both east and west bound would be warned of the intersection. Safety lighting was also installed, along with channelization curbing.

SPEER OBSERVED that all of the accidents have been during the daytime, except one; although he acknowledged that some were during the hours DEAR DR. MILLER: We have been told by a visitor that our new parakeet, Tidey, isn't very new. We thought this was a young bird. Is there any way we can tell for sure? C. P.

DEAR C. If Tidey is still in the didy stage, or close to it, the top of the head should show a series of dark, wavy lines. After the first molt, the young budgie is outfitted, with adult plumage which lacks these bars on the bonnet. It usually takes an expert to tell the difference between young adults and old ones, though of course the birds themselves don't have this problem. DEAR DR.

MILLER: Could you tell me please how early pregnancy can be determined in the bitch? We have just bred ours and are wondering how long we would have to wait to know for sure. V. R. DEAR V. The fourth week is the most logical time for this examination.

It is more involved to identify an earlier pregnancy. During the first month there is seldom any need to make changes in the diet or exercise routine, anyway. DEAR DR. MILLER: Three years ago last Christmas I decided my husband needed a hobby that would keep him at home more. So I bought him a little aquarium and three guppies.

I never had anything work so well in my life unfortunately. Now, he has fish tanks in every room in the house and wires going in all directions. He hates to have people smoke in the house because It might bother his fish. Half the time I can't use the Dors your favorite animal have problems, physical or emotional?

REMEMBER, UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS: (County News Service): San Diego Comity's road commissioner and surveyor this week defended his depart ment's efforts to correct the hazardous intersection at Sweetwater road and the South Bay freeway and took a Star- News editorial writer to task for "failing to check the facts." David K. Spear said that his department had done every thing within his power to try and solve the accident problem at the intersection where 10 major accidents have occured since the freeway was opened in September. SPEER SAID the Star-News editorial writer had "not bothered to determine the facts in the matter, and the number and types of accidents." The editorial last week, one of several Star-News editorials on the subject, attacked the original design of the project and delays in putting up proper The controversy over the engineering of the intersection began about a month after the freeway was opened in September when a car going north on Sweetwater Road drove across the freeway in front of a car going west. The car's driver attempted to avoid the northbound vehicle, -went out of control and a person was killed.

Another nine accidents have occured at the intersection since then. Four accidents had been reported the week the freeway opened. SPEER DECLARED in an interview that work began immediately after the fatal accident to correct the problem "although the design was believed to be correct and efficient," The design was ap proved by both the state and federal agencies, he said. He said that part of the problem at the intersection appeared to be "failure on the part of some people to exer cise reasonable and prudent caution" when crossing the freeway and "excessive speed" on the freeway. He noted that he had no control over either of these areas.

The California Highway Pa trol has only a limited patrol in the area, he said, and probably will not have full patrol for another 12 years until the freeway achieves full freeway status. THE COMMISSIONER denied that his department had placed money above lives in determining what should be done at the intersection. "The Board of Supervisors has not authorized any expenditures for this purpose," said Specr, "and I cannot, by law, spend any money not authorized by the board." He estimated that fulfilling The Star-News' request for a two-lane overpass at the intersection without on-and-off ramps would cost about One is planned by the state in about 12 years when the freeway is extended eastward to connect with Highway 94, he said. HE SAID that a ''king-size" fRIDAY, Feb. 14th CoihO 11 i A Memorial services were held i yesterday for an Imperial Beach Navy pilot killed when his T33 jet trainer crashed into the ocean off of NAS North Island.
