Clean—Up Campaigns
Get Corps Support
MOBILE , ALA. Envir
onmental cleanup campaigns,
both national and at the comm
unity level, are being actively
supported by the Army Corps
of Engineers during the 1972
year.”
Under policie s and directives
established by the President
and Congress, the Corps plans
and manages a major national
water resources development
program.
Environmental resources pr
otection at the more than 390
Corps-built and operated lakes
and reservoirs was recently
bolstered by Congress giving
the Corps authority to issue
citations for “environmental
pollution.” More than 300 mi
llion people visited these Corps
lakes and reservoirs last year
more than visited the national
parks.
Environmental cleanup pro
grams supported by the Army
Engineers include the “Keep
America Beautiful” campaign
of the Scouts, the U. S. Forest
Service’s “Woodsy Owl,” the
Interior Department’s “Johnny
Horizon,” and Earth Week.
A number of cleanup pro
grams where local residents
have taken the lead in collecting
and disposing of litter have had
great success.
At Greers Ferry Lake in
Arkansas, a Little Rock Dis
trict facility, the Corps sup
ported community groups in
working together to remove
debris and clean up the laxe.
The Greers Ferry Lake
Association and 24 local and
national organizations partici
pated in the program, using
slogans such as “Unlitter Am
erica - Rebel Packrat Society,”
“Keep America Beautiful,” as
well as the Corps “Fight
Litter.”
In the Mobile District, a
cleanup campaign by local
groups at Allatoona Lake was
outstandingly successful.
“The success of these pro
grams is totally dependent upon
people working together,"
Major General «i. W. Morris,
the Corps Director of Civil
Works, said, "They provide us
with an excellent opportunity
to assist local officials in tra
nslating organization - promo
tion skills into community ac
tion programs where none exist
and to Indorse, through active
participation, those on-going
campaigns that have already
been established."

Reduction
On SGLI
A. W. Tate, Director , At
lanta Veterans Administration
Regional Office, has announced
a 15 per cent reduction in pre
mium rates on Servicemen's
Group Life Insurance (SGLI)
which means savings of sl2
million annually for service
men.
Tate said nearly 2.9 million
servicemen, who are Insured
for $42.5 billion, will partici
pate in the savings, effective
July 1.
Tate noted the reduction, the
first since the SGLI program
was established in 1965, became
feasible because of continuing
favorable mortality experience.
Servicemen need not contact
VA to take advantage of the
reduced rates.
Before the reduction, ser
vicemen paid $1 a month for
each $5,000 of coverage. Thus,
the maximum coverage of
$15,000 costs $3 per month
under the present rate. Effec
tive July 1, the new rate for
the full $15,000 coverage will
be $2.55, for SIO,OOO, $1.70,
and for $5,000, 85 cents mon
thly.
All members of the Armed
Forces are automatically In
sured under SGLI, and
premiums are deducted from
their pay unless they decline
In writing to be insured. The!
maximum amount was raised
from SIO,OOO to $15,000 in June
.1970.
Members on full duty have
protection for 120 days after
separation. The group coverage
can be replaced, regardless of
hsalth, by Individual policies
issued by 600 participating co
mmercial companies if applica
tion is nude within 120 days of
separation.
Ratos for reservists, who are
Insured only during active duty
training periods and associated
travel, will be reduced from
SI.BO to $1.50 annually for
$15,000 coverage.
