Water sports are attracting
more and more Texans to
lakes streams, seashore and
manmade pools, and the
deaths from drownings are
increasing proportionately1.
The state's waters provide
some of the most pleasureable
recreation available for in-
dividuals and families, but
nny outdoor recreation should
be undertaken only with plan-
ning and caution, advises the
Texas State Department of
Health,
Last year in Texas 489 per-
sons drowned. Ninety-six of
the victims were 10 years old
or younger, and 52 of them
drowned in their home area
in such things as swimming
pools, farm ponds and while
wading. The 11 to 20 year-old
bracket had 54 deaths, the 21
to 30 age group 70 deaths and
people over 50 years old had
48 drownings.
Nationwide, 60 per cent
of those who drowned did so
because they fell into the wa-
ter accidentally. Had all been
able to swim, the toll would
have been much lower.
Everyone who goes on or
nrourul waer should know how
to swim or wear Coast Guard
approved lifejaekcts. Even
with safety devices worn,
however, some persons drown
in stormy or cold weather.
Almost anyone has access
to swimming instruction,
either through the Red Cross
or from private teachers in
their hometowns, Last year
the State Health Department
conducted 24 swimming pool
management schools. More
than 1,000 pool operators at-
tended.
Always swim with a com-
panion — never alone. On a
long distance swim, arrange
for someone in a boat to ac-
company you.
Swim in a safe place. The
presence of lifeguards usually
indicates the area is safe for
swimming. Stay away from
the area immediately in front
of the diving (ward and do
not swim near piers or pil-
ings.
Most e o 11 o n knits now
have wrinkle-resistant,
shape-holding finishes, and
are machine-washable. If
you prefer to hand wash,
remember to squeeze the
garment without twisting,
and rinse without wringing.
After rinsing, blot out excess
moisture by rolling the gar-
ment in a clean bath towel.
Spread it flat on dry towels
to dry. Smooth and shape
the garment in place. If
touchup ironing is
use a steam iron.
needed.
No other popular pickup goes
to the lengths Chevy
does to save you money.
dlt
Several lengths, in fact. Like offering pick-
up boxes that range in length from 6V2 feet
to a huge 9-footer.
No matter what size you prefer, you'll
get a full measure of Chevy's Pacesetter
Value with each model. For instance: the
biggest power choice among popular
pickups. Six or V8. And the smoothest
ride in trucks.
Inside the double-steel cabs, you'll find
such Pacesetter Values as thick foam
beats. Which provide stretch-out room for
three.
Wrap it all up in a small price and it
becomes pretty clear: Chevy wdl go to

Before diving, make sure
the water is deep enough and
there are no hidden objects
such as submerged rocks. In
pools look for depth markings
before entering.
If you have not been swim-
ming since last summer, take
it easy at first. Know your
limitations, and stay within
them.
Wait at least an hour after
eating before swimming, and
don't swim when overtired or
overheated.
Make certain that reaching
poles, bouys, and similar res-
cue equipment are readily
available at your swimming
area.
Don't depend on an inflated
innertube or toy to hold you
tip. They may slip away from
you.
Whenever a storm approach-
es, get out of the water — it
is a conductor of lightning.

Citizens Warned
Peak Tornado
Season Is Here
AUSTIN — Colonel Wilson
E. Speir, director of the Tex-
as Department of Public Safe-
ty and state director of de-
fense and disaster relief, to-
day reminded Texans that the
peak tornado season has ar-
rived.
Information obtained from
the U. S. Weather Bureau's
State Climatologist indicates
that Texas reported 140 tor-
nadoes during the past year.
This figure compares with a
record number of 232 during
1967, of which more than
half occured in September in
connection with Hurricane
Beulah. Since 1951, Texas has
reported 1,659 tornadoes.
There were no months free
from twisters in 1968. The
peak tornado months, April,
May, and June, produced 13,
48, and 21 tornadoes, respec-
tively. Other totals included
January, 2; February, 1;
March, 3; July, 4; August, 8;
September;, 5; October, 8;
November, 11; and December,
16.
A circular of tornado safety
rules has been prepared by the
Department of Public Safety,
and is available through local
city and county Civil Defense
directors.

Cotton fabrics are ideal
sewing choices for the pop
ular shirtwaist dress. Easy
to sew and comfortable t0
wear, the classic shirtwaist
is suitable for all ages and
sizes. For a dressy version,
choose fabrics like cotton
organdy or romantic cotton
lace. For sporty looks, make
up the shirtwaist in cotton
oxford cloth or printed sail-
cloth.
New styles in men's cot-
ton shirts show the wide-
reaching effect of the Thir-
ties on the fashion world.
Shirts have bigger collars
and are worn with wider
ties. Moreover, the outlook
calls for lots of color. In
both cotton dress shirts and
sports styles, designers are
featuring blue, pink, yellow,
spruce green, and reds from
rc^lon to mulberry.
