Drownings prompt safety rules for Texas summer activities
Texas summer brings swimming boating but also drownings. The Texas Medical Association urges precautions: learn to swim, never swim alone, avoid cold or overly strenuous water, supervise children, use lifeguards, stay with a capsize craft, avoid unknown depths, and get instruction for new activities. For private pools, keep them clean, walk, fence and lock gates, have rescue gear, and remove glass from decks. Boating safety tips include life jackets, not rearranging seats while moving, and wide berth for others. Separate AP note reports record record industry sales in 1974 with higher dollar value but lower unit counts, led by albums and prerecorded tapes, while LP and single unit sales declined.
