Georgia Tourist Business
ATLANTA (PRN) - The
State of Georgia is receiving
almost a quarter of a million
dollars worth of free
advertising.
The advertising, 1,000
display posters attached to the
rear doors of long haul trucks
traveling various national
routes to points as far as
California, Washington,
Oregon and Canada, features
the message, “Put variety in
your vacation. Come to
Georgia’’, along with scenes of
a typical family on vacation in
the mountains and at the
beach.
The advertising is being
provided to the State by
members of the Georgia Motor
Trucking Association. Lt.
Until 1948, you could ride on any subway in New York for only a nickel.

General Louis W. Truman,
Executive Director of the
Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade, has
estimated the cost of the
advertising to be about
$250,000.
“Not only would such a
price be prohibitive, as far as
State funds are concerned, but
the chances of an individual
advertiser putting together a
package such as this are
practically nil,” General
Truman said.
“Certainly the Georgia
Motor Trucking Association
has done a tremendous service
to the State of Georgia by
putting this package together
and offering this media free of
charge to the State.”

General Truman added, “It
is through the generosity and
ingenuity of community
conscious citizens such as the
Georgia Motor Trucking
Association that the State of
Georgia has been able to
achieve its present high degree
of popularity among ■ the
touring public.”
As the state agency
responsible for promoting
Georgia’s many advantages to
tourists and industrialists, the
Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade
administers the state
advertising campaign. Last
year, over 51 million travelers
spent $1.2 billion in Georgia
and contributed $65 million
to the State treasury in the
form of travel taxes.

H. R. Puf ’n Stuff and Friends from Six Flags Over Georgia have the right idea when it comes to
advertising Georgia’s vacation spots. Their antique Hanson auto is parked next to a shiny new long
haul truck which sports a similar vacation poster, courtesy of the Georgia Motor Trucking
Association. Pretty Miss Sharon Musseiwhite, a former Miss See Georgia First, is a passenger in the
Six Flags auto. (PRN)
YA BENEFITS
AVAILABLE TO
VETS’ SURVIVORS
Atlanta— Georgia Veterans
Service Director Pete Wheeler
this week called attention to
the fact that the Veterans
Administration administers
some benefits to certain wid
ows, children and parents of
veterans. '
Widows and children of
veterans who tiled because of
service-connected disabilities
Ite eligible for educational
benefits. This educational
assistance is also available to
wives and children of veterans
who are permanently and to
tally disabled as a result of a
service-connected disability,
or of servicemen who are miss
ing in action or are prisoners
of war.
Another benefit is compen
sation to certain widows, mi
nor children and parents of
deceased veterans. Other ben
efits pertain to home loans
and pensions.
Wheeler - said, “Positive
identification of a veteran is
necessary in the filing of any
claim. If a veteran has ever
filed a claim with the VA
and his family knows his file
or ‘C’ number, there will be
no problem of identification.
“Otherwise, it will be
necessary to establish a vet
eran’s identity by submitting
a copy of his service dis
charge, his military service
number, or the branch of ser
vice along with the dates
served.”
Wheeler added that certain
documents such as the vet
eran’s birth and death certifi
cates, his marriage certificate
and the birth certificates of
his children may also be re
quired if such information is
not already included in VA
files.
Any person desiring more
detailed information on vet
erans’ benefits should contact
the neart>st office of the
Georgia Department of Vet
erans Service.
