Boating Deaths Down In State
Lincoln figures show 1966 pleasure boating accidents and fatalities decreased despite more boats on the water. The eight deaths in 1965 dropped to one in 1966, attributed to a capsized boat where one occupant wore a life preserver and the other chose not to. The note warns even good swimmers need safety gear.
