This statement state-ment has been repeated so often (for good reason) that it has burst on the conscience of our entire culture. Even the most independent and strong headed in our society grudgingly grudg-ingly admit this fact after ten long hard years of study and lost lives while we collectively learned this fact. Sad to say, we tend to become aware of most hazards after the fact. Kind of like worrying about closing the gate after the cows are out. Like seat belts their is another potential disaster which has a very simple remedy drowning. Over 7,000 people in this country lose their lives by drowning each year. Well over half of the drowning victims in this country were doing something other than swimming or playing in the water according to statistics released by the National Safety Council. Victims fall into water from decks, bridges, docks, or shores. Most were involved in recreational or boating accidents. How do we combat this senseless loss? Learn to swim. A great fun and healthy activity. As with most hazards, education is at the center of the answer. Simply learning to swim to the point where one can tread water wa-ter would virtually make the country coun-try drown proof. Water safety instruction is available avail-able at the Vernal Community Swimming Pool. Everyone should be taught the fundamentals of safety and basic swimming. Most of the teachers who instruct at the pool have swim team knowledge knowl-edge of strokes, turns, and dives. Red Cross lessons arc taught and safety skills emphasised. Red Cross lessons were part of the curriculum in our school last year, and teachers report that kids in the Uinuh School District arc receiving vital information informa-tion and skills hk h COuU someday save the ir lives.

For more information call the Vernal Community Pool at 789-5775 789-5775 or sign up at the desk prior to the lessons. For those already comfortable in the water the pool is offering a "Just For Fun" day on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Overhead lights go off and underwater lights go oir.

NO WAY HORSE PULLS SET Before modern machinery, horses, mule, and oxen were the main source of power for transportation, farming, and other industry. A good team was a man's most prized possession as late as 100 short years ago. Teams were used to plow a field, haul goods to market, provide family transportation, and at social functions like barn raising and horse pulls. Anything that needed need-ed power, likely was provided by these beasts of burden in one form or another. Pulling events trace their roots back to rural America, especially Western Americana. Today they are one of the fastest growing sports. Horse puller spend a great deal of time traveling to horse sales across these United States and Canada looking for a horse to match the one they already have, or just to find a team suited for pulling. Once they select a team they spend an average of six hour each day training and conditioning these horses for nprn nrr-T competed t-cfoe record 530.CXX3 in prize money. JF Tints Jtfpu SQ095 k. 1 1.

With this kind of investment invest-ment in time and money it is often frustrating when it all goes for naught when the team doesn't have what it takes, then it's back to the sales bams to do it all over again. Horse Pullers are a breed all their own. Breeders and owners will sit for hours and discuss why one horse will pull and the next one won't, the best method of shoding, the best feed and training methods, and why one man continually produces winners win-ners from the same blood lines where another cannot. Horse pulling is a family event that all ages can enjoy and local resident res-ident will get a chance to catch the excitement of the event during a pulling contest as part of the Uintah County Fair events. The pull is scheduled for August 12 at 4 p.m. at the Western Park in Vernal. For more information on this interesting and unusual event contact Doug Critton at 789-0757.
