Congress Considers Re-opening of GI Insurance Program ATLANTA — Nearly 300,000 Georgia veterans would be affect ed by passage of legislation now being considered by Congress to re-open the GI life insurance pro gram to veterans of World War II and the Korean War, it was reported this week by Pete Whee ler, Director of the Georgia De partment of Veterans Service. The Veterans Administration, reflecting a reversal in a long standing policy, will recommend passage of the legislation, there by substantially increasing its chances of approval, he said. The VA report will recommend that the insurance program be re-opened for a one-year period starting January, 1963 and be made available to all ex-service men who “were formerly entitled to apply.” Some two-thirds of the “eligi ble” veterans in Georgia allowed their National Service Life Insur ance policies to lapse since its purchase and have been unable to re-instate it under the terms of the policy. Many other such veterans reduced the amounts of their coverage during this same period. Nation-wide, there are just over five million World War II and Korean-type NSLI insurance policies in force compared to nearly twenty million veterans now living who were “formerly entitled to apply.” Challenging Career Offered in Public Health Nursing Graduation is just behind us. Careers are uppermost in the minds of many young people. Public health nursing offers not only a useful field in which to work but one that will give a deep personal satisfaction. It is an adventure —a challenge — a rich, full life. The public health nurse works with people. Her work takes her into the home, the school, the hospital and industry. She is a very vital part of a health team composed of physicians, sanitar ians, clerks, other professional health workers and many other people interested in the health of the community. All nursing positions in public health require registration to prac tice professional nursing in Geor gia. There are opportunities for promotion, and additional edu cation through scholarships are granted by the State Health De partment for study i n Public Health Nnrsing, and there is job security under the State Merit System. If you are a nurse, you may find the worthwhile career you want in public health. For in formation, contact your local health department or the Georgia Department of Public Health in Atlanta. Your inquiry will be welcome.. —From GEORGIA’S HEALTH Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thomas and little daughter, Tina, of A mericus are visiting their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Thom as.

Georgia Power Company Plans New Substation at Offerman Tuten Proposes Cold War GI Bill of Rights BRUNSWICK — Congressional candidate Russell Tuten says Congress should enact a Cold War GI Bill of Rights — ex tending to Cold War veterans benefits similar to those granted veterans of World War II and Korea. Tuten is especially strong in his advocacy of educational benefits for Cold War veterans. “Educational benefits would help the country as well as vet erans,” he says. “The promise of a college education upon dis charge would stimulate enlist ments in the armed services, making the Army, Navy, and Air Force less dependant on draftees.” He says further that broaden ing of educational opportunity would better - prepare us for our continuing struggle with com munism. “It has been reported that Russia is graduating more engineers and scientists than we are. We cannot afford to let Rus sia be ahead of us in education. Gl Bill educational benefits would help us take and keep the lead.” Tuten says a GI Bill of Rights for present-day veterans is justi fied because this is not really a time of peace. "In Southeast Asia our servicemen are being shot at right now. Some have al ready been killed; some have been wounded and some captur ed.” Cold War veterans deserve a better deal than they are getting he declares. He says that in the long run Gl educational benefits would pay for themselves. “When a veteran gets a college education, he increases his earning power. Consequently, he pays more in come taxes; and, in the course of a lifetime, the increased taxes paid by him will be many times the cost of his college education.” Jack Williams Heads Press Association Jack Williams Jr., editor and publisher of the Waycross Journ al-Herald, was elected president of the Georgia Press Association at the 76th annual convention of the Association meeting on Jekyll Island.

I YOU CAN HELP BUILD THE SALK INSTITUTE FOR BIOLOGICAL STUDIES ■THE SALK INSTITUTE BUILDING FUND / Spontored by The National foundation through the March of Dimet Subscription Price and Tax Inside county .... $2.58 Outside county, in state .... $3.09 Outside state $3.00 A $3 '4 million construction project to extend the Georgia Power Company’s high-voltage transmission system deep into Southeast Georgia will begin in August, C. W. Warner, of Valdos ta, Georgia Power Company vice president, announced this week. Major part of the project will be the erection of a 90-mile 230,- 000-volt transmission line from an existing substation in North Tifton to a planned substation at Offerman, in Pierce County. Heavy-duty steel structures of the H-frame type will be used to sup port three large aluminum con ductor cables. The right-of-way for the line extends from Tift County to Pierce County and traverses Irwin, Coffee and Ba con counties. The project also includes the conversion of the existing trans mission line from Offerman to Jesup from 66,000 to 110,000-volt capacity and the installation of three large circuit breakers at the Jesup substation. Mr. Warner said an increased use of electricity in Southeast Georgia by industrial, residential, and farm customers has made construction of the high-voltage system mandatory. He added that the new transmission line will provide ample high-voltage elec tricity for the many new indus trial plants in the area and for any future expansion of industry. Georgia Power’s operating en gineers pointed out that the new transmission line will result in improved service to all cities in Southeast Georgia, and will al low the area to draw 230,000-volt service directly from the huge steam-electric generating plant of the Southern Electric Generating Company in Wilsonville, Ala. This plant, which this spring be gan producing at its full capacity of 1,000,000 kilowatts, is owned jointly by the Georgia Power and Alabama Power companies, which share equally in the facility’s pro duction. Completion of all phases of the project is scheduled for June of 1963. Approximately 145 men have been assigned to the cons truction job, including 100 on line crews and 45 on substation crews. Headquarters for the work crews will be in Tifton, Alma, Black shear, Douglas and Jesup. The Georgia Power Company completed its first 230,000-volt transmission line in 1957 and now has nearly 600 miles of these lines in operation. They carry the highest voltage transmitted in the Georgia Power system.
