'Wheelchair Home'
Benefits Available
To Certain Veterans
Atlanta — Georgia Veter
ans Service Director Pete
Wheeler this week is reminding
certain disabled veterans of
wartime or peacetime service
that they may be entitled,
under certain conditions, to
receive a grant from the Vet
erans Administration for the
purchase of a home that is
specifically modified and
adapted to their particular
needs. Such homes are re
ferred to as “wheelchair
homes.”
Wheeler said, “In order for
a veteran to qualify for this
benefit, he must be entitled
to compensation for perma
nent and total disability as a
result of a service-connected
disability incurred during war
time or peacetime service after
April 20,1898.”
He listed the qualifying
disabilities as: (1) The loss or
loss of use of both lower ex
tremities, such as to preclude
locomotion without the aid
of braces, crutches, canes or a
wheelchair; or (2) Disability
which includes blindness in
both eyes, having only light
perception, plus the loss or
loss of use of one lower extre
mity; or (3) The loss or loss of
use of one leg with residuals
of organic disease or injury
which preclude locomotion
without a wheelchair.
Wheeler said that eligible
veterans may receive a VA
grant of not more than 50 per
cent of the cost of their homes
up to a maximum of $17,500.
This grant may be used to
pay part of the cost of
building or buying such
homes, or to remodel existing
dwellings for their particular
requirements. The grant also
may be used to pay off the
indebtedness of such homes
already acquired by eligible
veterans.
Complete information on
the “wheelchair home” bene
fit may be obtained from any
office of the Georgia Depart
ment of Veterans Service.
4-H PRESERVED GIFTS
One of the most appreciated
gifts for “thank yoi£” “get
well” or just “friendship”
occasions is preserved food:
jams, jellies, fruits and vege
tables. Over 5,000 young
Georgians enrolled in the 4-H
food preservation program,
sponsored by the Kerr Glass
Manufacturing Corporation,
enjoy preserving food. Aside
from gifts and quick and easy
meals at home, they find
canning and freezing an
economical way to use foods in
season. For information on 4-H
programs, contact your county
Extension office.
State Bar Urges Members
To Support Amendment I
ATLANTA (PRN) - The
State Bar of Georgia has urged
its members and the public to
vote in the November general
election in favor of the
Constitutional amendment
setting up a procedure for the
discipline and removal of
judges.
The amendment, to be No.
1 on the ballot, was a
recommendation of the
Governor’s Commission on
Judicial Processes and was
approved by the General
Assembly in its last session.
The State Bar, the official
professional organization for
Georgia’s more than 6,000
lawyers, gave strong support
to the amendment in the
General Assembly and was
represented on the
Commission making the
proposal.
Frank W. Seiler, Savannah,
president of the State Bar, said
that under the present
Constitution and laws of
Georgia, “there is no practical
way to remove” or discipline
an unfit judge during his term
of office, even if he is corrupt,
senile, permanently ill, fails to
perform his duties or engages
in conduct prejudicial to the
administration of justice.”
“There is a procedure by
which the General Assembly
can impeach a judge for
certain types of misconduct,
but the fact that it has never
been successfully used is a
good indication that it is an
ineffective protection to the
public.
“Relying on the ballot is
also unsatisfactory,” he

continued, “because the vast
majority of judges are
appointed and then, unless
they are notoriously unfit, are
unopposed when they run for
re-election.
“This is a good system
when the judges are good. But
a judge or justice who is unfit
could do irreparable harm if
he could not be disciplined or
removed during his term of
office, which might be four,
six or even eight years in some
cases.”
Mr. Seiler said Amendment
No. 1, if approved by the
voters, will authorize
establishment of a Judicial
Qualifications Commission
with seven members who will
receive no salary. Two
members will be judges named
by the Supreme Court of
Georgia. Three will be lawyers
named by the Board of
Governors of the State Bar,
and the other two will be
non-lawyers and non-public
officials appointed by the
Governor.
“The authority of the
Commission will extend to
judges and justices of any
court of the State,” Mr. Seiler
explained, “and the Supreme
Court of Georgia will prescribe
the rules by which complaints
are brought before the
Commission and handled.”
He added that in all cases,
the function of the
Commission will be to
investigate and make
recommendations to the
Supreme Court, and the Court
will determine whether or not,

or to what extent, the
Commission’s recommenda
tions will be followed.
Grounds for the discipline
or removal of judges as listed
in the proposed amendment
include; willful misconduct in
office; willful and persistent
failure to perform duties;
habitual intemperance; or
conduct prejudicial to the
administration of justice
which brings the judicial office
into disrepute.
Also, judges may be retired
for disability seriously
interfering with the
performance of duties, which
is, or is likely to become, of a
permanent character.
Mr. Seiler said some 20
other states have adopted
similar systems to deal with
the problems of judicial
discipline. He emphasized that
the Commission would have
no power to investigate
complaints based on
dissatisfaction with rulings,
sentences or any other part of
the decision making
prerogative of a judge.
Mr. Seiler pointed out that
all citizens will benefit by the
'operation of the Judicial
Qualifications Commission
“because it will strengthen our
judicial system and lead to a
higher standard of conduct.
‘‘We ask lawyers
throughout the state to make
known to the citizens of their
communities the importance
of voting “yes” on
Constitutional amendment
lio. 1 in the General Election
on November 7,” he
concluded.

The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, October Iff, 1972
This will be a follow up to last week's article. Last week
we wrote about land fill around trees. This week we’re going
to talk about heavy machinery around trees.
On most house lots and other pieces of property there is,
at one time or another, need to use a bulldozer or other
heavy pieces of equipment. The reasons for this equipment
can be varied, such as clearing unwanted brush, digging a
sewerage line or thinning a stand of timber. The point is,
heavy equipment is sometimes needed for a particular job
on your property.
Now these big machines are not at all graceful. At a mini
mum they are like a bull in a china shop. A lot of times
they get too close to a tree and CRUNCH !• They've peeled
the bark off one of your trees. Sometimes this cannot be hel>
ed, but the tree still remains damaged, if treatment is not
obtained for a long time, the tree or trees could possibly
die. True, a lot of trees will heal over the wound naturally,
but to release all doubt the wound should be treated. Also,
when a tree is wounded, it releases a flow of gum which
attracts pine beetles. Too many cases have we seen where
trees died from beetle attack that was caused by inviting
wounds.
TREATMENT: Most garden or feed & seed stores carry
an asphaltbase paint or putty. Most brands state that they
are to be used on wounds when pruning or cutting back trees
or shrubbery. This asphaltbase paint should be applied to
all wounded areas in a generous amount. It will help the tree
to heal naturally while keeping unfriendly Insects away. A little
precaution can save a valuable tree or stand of timber.
