Of the 520 persons injured 29 yere

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.
