"LIGHT UP,
BUCKLE UP"
FOR LABOR DAY
This Labor Day weekend, ra
ther stress fatality predictions,
the Georgia Safety Council will
ask Georgiadriverstodosome
thing positive to help record
a safer weekend.
The Council’s “ Light Up for
Labor Day, Buckle Up Every
Day ” campaign will ask mot
orists to use safety belts La
bor Day weekend, then turn
on their lights to show other
drivers that their belts are in
use. Council representatives
said they especially hope to re
ach those who have never worn
seat belts, or seldom usethem.
There has been a lot of
controversy recently about a
mandatory seat belt law. The
fact is that safety belts can
save lives and reduce injuries.
Researchers say that half of the
50,000 people killed last year
probably would have been alive
today if they had used seat
belts. Many drivers don’t fas
ten their safety belts because
they drive mostly in their own
neighborhoods and seldom take
long trips. Statistics prove
that two • thirds of all traffic
deaths occur within 25 miles
of home. However, the large
numbers of holiday drivers will
make Labor Day weekend a dan
gerous time for travelers.

Mr. Lovett Bennett, Jr. of St
atesbore, brother of the brise,
Mr. William Josiah Neville of
Statesboro, uncle of the bride,
and Mr. Eli Jack Donker of

Mrs. Bennett chose for her
daughter’s wedding a model of
beige silk crepe fashioned along
princess lines with a capalet
effect of lace. She carried pink
cybidiums pinned to her purse.
Mrs. Braswell, mother of the
groom, chose a dress of yellow
crepe featuring full chiffon sl
eeves cuffed at the wrist with
lace bands. Her corsage was
of green cybidium orchids.
Mr and Mrs, Bennett en

church following the wedding
ceremony.
The couple will reside in
Jesup where the groom is the

Veterans
Corner
Q— My son was killed in Vi
etnam. Am I eligible for edu.
cation from the veterans ad.
ministration?
A— No. Parents are not eli
gible for this benefit.
Q-. I hear some national
cemeteries have been closed
and others will soon close due
to lack of space. If the ceme
tery of the veterans’ choice
closes, will VA pay an addit
ional burial allowance toward
purchase of a plot in a pri
vate cemetery ?
A— No. The law permits VA
to pay only the statutory $250
burial allowance upon thedeath
of a veteran. Insurance and
survivor benefits are a matter
of individual eligibility.
Q- How long do I have to
convert my National Sc vice
Life Insurance policy ?
A.. it can usually be con
verted at any time the policy
is current. However, there
are some policies by “ W ”
that cannot be converted if
the renewal date comes after
the insured’s 50th birthday.
In such cases, the conversion
must be made before the term
runs out.
