Martin Goode Awarded Underwriters
CLU At St. Louis Conferment
Martin E. Goode, Jr., repre
sentative of Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, was awarded
the coveted Chartered Life
Underwriter designation at
National Conferment Exercises
of the American College of Life
Underwriters in St. Louis, Mis
souri on September 15.
The American College of Life
Underwriters grants the C.L.U.
or C.L.U. Associate designation
to persons in life and health in
surance who pass a series of
professional examinations and
meet the stringent experience
and ethical requirements of the
College. This year 1,250 men and
women will be awarded the desig
nation, bringing to 13,972 the
number of people who have
received it since the College was
founded in 1927.
Mr. Goode has been associated
with Metropolitan in Covington
since 1936. He is a member of
the official board, a teacher and
division superintendent of the
First Methodist Church; he has
served with Boy Scout work as
Cubmaster, Scoutmaster and
Merit Badge Counselor; and he
was a member of the crew of
a minelayer for nearly two years
in the Pacific during World War
11.
The C.L.U. program was es
tablished to meet the profession
al education needs of the men and
women who provide life and health
insurance service for the public.
The courses cover such areas as;
fundamentals of life and health in
surance; group insurance, health
insurance and pensions; law,
trusts and taxation; economics
and finance; and business
insurance and estate planning.
The typical candidate for the
C.L.U. designation enrolls in a
special study class at a college
or university and spends four
or five years in the program.
Locally, classes are taught at
Goergia State College.
Persons who attain the Chart
ered Life Underwriter designa
tion are privileged to use the
term or its abbreviation(C.L.U.)
after their names and to wear the
C.L.U. key. They are also eli
gible to become members of the
American Society of Chartered
Life Underwriters, a profes
sional body whose principal ob
jective is to maintain high stand
ards of Insurance service to the
public.
Oxford Cemetery
Group Still Needs
Upkeep Funds
Many articles have appeared in
our local paper and other pub
lications concerning the work
being done in the Oxford
Cemetery.
The women of the Oxford Wo
man’s Club, who have organized
and sponsored the Oxford His
torical Cemetery Foundation,
Inc., have been most energetic
in broadcasting their work and
their ambition for the success of
this worthy project.
The response has been almost
miraculous. It Is proof that
people are reading their local
newspapers and are Interested in
having and being a part In this
big undertaking.
Many prominent people, who
rest on this hallowed ground,
have been honored to the extent
that now we can say, “Now they
will have perpetual care.” Many
of these so honored are, Dr. L S.
Hopkins, one time President of
Emory College and the First
President of Ga-Tech; his daugh
ter, Miss Jessie Hopkins, Libra
rian of the Atlanta Public Library
for a number of years; Miss
Lynn Branham, truly beloved by
her family and her many old
Emory College student friends;
and countless others have been
so honored.
There are many other equally
prominent persons for whom
many contributions have been
sent in for the care of their
lots, but the amount is not yet
sufficient to provide perpetual
care.
Many efforts have been made to
contact the proper persons about
these lots, but not always with
success.
We shall continue to give pub
licity of our needs. We need
everyone’s help.
We are deeply grateful for the
response we have received and
we wish to thank you each and
every one and yet we wish to ask
you to continue to talk about It
and let any one interested in this
project know that we need their
help In making it a wonderful
success.
Spillers Says
State Parks
Are Booming
Newton County Representative
Otis Spillers has issued a pro
gress report of the Georgia State
Parks which covers the past three
years of operation.
He said that the department
is operating 37 State Parks on
a year round basis with an add
itional 8 areas still undeveloped.
Last year, the system served
over 5,000,000 visitors In these
37 parks, he stated.
"The primary reason for the
existence of State Parks Is to
preserve for perpetual public
appreciation and use, certain out
standing areas of statewide or
national interest. Under the
law, state parks conserve the
scenery, natural historical ob
jects, and wildlife within these
areas,” Rep. Spillers em
phasized.
