Some of them aren't their fault, but due to population and growth." Improving the representative nature of city government would solve the problem, she said, adding that "I could talk for an hour about the things I feel they're not doing right but that's not the issue here." She indicated Wednesday, however, that "the swimming pool is one issue that we have two golf courses and only one pool." Mrs. Burnett said that the meeting to discuss the changes should be called within three weeks. "That's just to get a start on it," she said. "I put a deadline so the Council has to call it (the meeting) in the near future so councilmen couldn't hedge on it now and forever hereafter." Mrs.

Burnett favors enlarging the Council from five to nine members elected by wards instead of at large. She also would like salaries increased to $2,000 from $400 ($500 for the mayor).

(AP) Probably the biggest hazard that pheasants in New York face is the mowing machine.

During the peak of the state's pheasant population in the late 1930s, mowing was not started until about the Fourth of July, By this time about 80 per cent of the pheasant nests had hatch ed. It has since been found that June hay Is better for cattle. Mowing now usually starts during the first week in June, when fewer than 20 per cent of the nests have hatched. About the only solution is to leave unmowed land along fences, farm lanes and in odd corners around the farm, to decoy the pheasant hens away from hayfields.

ARTHUR SOLOW. head swim ming coach at CSU, said that he thought everything was handled well by Fairbourn and the two lifeguards, Joe Cribari and Rodney Sharpe. Solow said that Tuesday's incident was the first time in 13 years that anyone had been in danger of drowning at CSU. Because of the near-drowning. Solow said that CSU dooI per sonnel will intensify their enforcement of safety rules.

nuies state mat any youin of age 12 or younger must take a swimming test before being allowed to use the pool. The test consists of a 50-yard swim without struggle. If the child has difficulty witn the test, the parent will have to be in the water with the child at all times. If the child nasses the test, the parent may sit in the stands and watch the child, said Solow. BRAD REMEMBERS very little of his brush with death.

"I jumped off the board feet first and then started going down," he said. Brad's mother thinks that he probably panicked and lost con sciousness shortly aner tutting the water. Aonarentlv. Brad, who is a beginning swimmer, had gone off the diving board at the urging of a friend. Brad and his friend were supposed to stay in more shallow water, but thought that they would try jumping off the diving board.

The friend was at the side of the pool near the diving board to see if Brad could make it to the edge of the pool after jumping off. When Brad went under, the friend reportedly was unable to come to his aid and began to call for a lifeguard. JED SAID that he could easily put himself in Brad's place, because he had been in a similar situation of nearly drowning at age 9. Jed was swimming in Arizona four years ago when he jumped into a deep area and found that he couldn't swim well enough to reach safety. "I went under twice ana came up struggling before a cousin pulled me out," he said.

Jed's 11-year-old brother, Bryan, was at the CSU pool Tuesday, but he was a bit more confused about what was going than his older brother. "I thought that Brad was do ing trick, lying on the bottom and waving his arms," said Bryan. Pellet gun kills boy playing with friends ANTONITO, Colo.
