However, Darcie H. White, of the Utah Safety Council, warns sportsmen that drowning and other water hazards represent a threat the year round.

About 3,300 of these victims were swimming or playing in the water. The remaining 5,400 drownings were nonswimming" fatalities, that is, persons falling into the water from docks, bridges, shores, etc., or from home, work or recreational accidents. Not surprisingly", White said, "most fishing and recreational boating accident fatalities resulted from drowning. What is not widely known is that drowning takes many lives in other fall, winter and d sports. For example over 11 winter season per cent of the 1973-7snowmobile accident fatalities resulted from drowning."

In an attempt to prevent or minimize water hazards to sportsmen in fall and winter, the Utah Safety Council offers the following suggestions: Know your terrain when hunting, snowmobiling, sledding, skiing, etc., so that you will not suddenly find yourself on or in a body of water. year-roun- 4 non-wat- Vocational programs in county discussed by school board said the plan will not interfere with the vocational center in Roosevelt."
