Accidents for the two-week period including July 4 show a 40% increase over the same period last year with 23% less fatalities, 45% increase in permanent disabilities and 43% in crease of injuries. There were 21 injuries and 7 dis abilities from firecrackers. Agriculture had 3 times the injur ies and 10 times the fatalities that occurred in the same period in 1929. The opinion is held by many con scientious people that the great ma jority of drownings occur to swim mers while indulging in the sport. To determine the facts as apply i.0 Nebraska, the following analysis was made of fatalities by drowning dur ing the past 60 weeks that this acci dent study has been in progress. We find that while swimming, boat ing or rescuing drowning persons, 33 swimmers have been drowned. 10 of these died from the result of diving; 3 from illness brought on by taking water into the lungs; 14 suffered cramps and 6 were drowned while at tempting to rescue non-swimmers in distress. 42 non-swimmers have been drown ed while engaged in some form of aquatic sport. Of 18 other accidental drownings due to floods and accident al falls into water; only one person was a swimmer and he was caught with a cramp. 15 small children have been drown ed in tanks or washtubs. Of a total of 108 persons drowned in Nebraska in 60 weeks only 34 have been swim mers. A Nebraska daily paper has done an outstanding piece of public ser vice by promoting in Lincoln a “learn to swim week.” While all commun ities in the state do not have facil ities for a similar activity, yet some phase of accident prevention, which will result in saving human lives, can be sponsored locally by every newspaper in the state.
