Tl <br />DECLARING THE WEEK OF JUNE 6, 1932 <br />NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK <br />IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />WHEREAS, more Americans each year are choosing recreational <br />boating as an ideal way to relax with their families and.friends. <br />All too often, however, what starts out as a pleasant cruise ends <br />in tragedy because boatmen fail to teach their families to swim, <br />fail to properly equip their craft with life preservers and other <br />protective devices, or fail to instruct their passenger on the <br />use of such devices prior to a boating cruise; and <br />WHEREAS, every year, about 1300 lives are lost in boating <br />accidents. These fatalities can be reduced and boating made more <br />pleasurable if those who engage in it will emphasize boating <br />safety rules; and <br />WHEREAS, the local Flotilla 5-6 of the U.S. Coast Guard <br />Auxiliary and the Vero Beach Squadron of the U.S. Power Squadron <br />are sponsoring this week in a joint effort to promote safe <br />boating; and ° <br />WHEREAS, recognizing the need for that emphasis, the <br />Congress, by a joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (72 Statute <br />179), has requested the President to proclaim the week of June <br />6-12, 1982, as NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
