Discounts On Cor Insurance
Are Reward For Good Grades
It has been said that success
is its own reward. But today’s
successful high school, college
or university student may be in
for an extra reward as of Jan
uary 24, 1968.
That’s the date set by the Na
tional Bureau of Casualty Under
writers and the National Automo
bile Underwriters Association
for the start of a new plan of
fering discount rates on auto
mobile insurance for students
who meet both certain age and
scholastic requirements.
The plan will be available to
a large number of Georgia stu
dents who qualify, since many of
the insurance companies opera
ting in this state are members
of these two national organizat
ions.
To qualify, the student must be
enrolled full time in a high sc
hool, college or university. He
must be in the junior year (11th
grade) or higher, or be at least
16 years of age. Males must
be under 25, while females must
be under 21 and be rated as you
thful operators.
The student must meet one of
the following academic require
ments:
1. Rank in the upper 20% of
his class scholastically; or
2. Have a grade average of B

in a school using letter grades.
If the system of letter grading
cannot be averaged, he must have
no grade below B or;
3. Have a grade average of at
least 3 points on a 4 point scale
(or its equivalent); or
4. Be on the dean’s list, ho
nor roll, or other comparable list
for scholastic achievement.
The discounts on automobile
insurance rates for students
meeting the age and scholastic
requirements range up to 25%
and could average about $25 for
families with occasional teen
age drivers. For students who
own their own cars, the savings
could be as high as SSO annually.
According to Johnny Prescott
of the Steele-Prescott Agency
students who think they qualify
have to get the signatures of
school administrators on special
application forms provided by the
insurance companies.
The plan will require that each
student in a family who uses the
car meet the educational require
ments, for the discount rate to ap
ply.
"Getting a program like this
underway,’’ Mr. Prescott says,
"will require cooperation on the
part of parents, students, sc
hools, insurance companies and
their agents or brokers. The plan

is based on the fact that good stu
dents are usually good drivers.
While it may have additional be
nefits of helping to raise the sc
holastic level of young drivers,
it should also help decrease the
high accident rates of those in
the 16 to 25 year age group.’’

of the new rate change with con
siderable interest,” Mr. Pres
cott said.

Reduce Your Risk
Os Heart Attack
There are six ways to cut
your chances of having a heart
attack. Described in a new book
let, "Reduce Your Risk of Heart
Attack”, each of the six differ
ent conditions or habits of liv
ing "increases the chances of a
heart attack.” A combination of
the risk factors further incre
ases the degree of risk.
The Georgia Heart Association
believes, "There is enough evi
dence to suggest that the living
habits of millions of Americans
are endangering their hearts at
a comparatively early age. Th
ese habits usually begin in child
hood, with living patterns learn
ed from parents.” These living
patterns refer to over indulgence
in foods, eating too much fatty
food, getting little exercise and
starting to smoke at an early
age. The booklet continues, "Wh
ile there is no ironclad proof
that reducing the known risks
will prevent heart attacks, most
of the scientific evidence today
points that way.”
The six risk factors are:
1. Overweight. “Middle -
aged men who are 30 per cent
or more over-weight have twi
ce the risk of a heart attack
compared with middle-aged men
of normal weight.”
2. High blood pressure. Most
cases can now be controlled.
3. Little physical activity.
Men who get regular amounts of
exercise have less risk of heart
attacks than do men who live
sedentary lives, some studies
who passed away last week.

4. High levels of blood fats.
"There is substantial evidence
that dietary changes will help to
prevent heart attacks or stok
es,” the booklet says. Choles
terol or other fatty substances
in the blood can form deposits
along the inner walls of arter
ies. Changes in diet can reduce
the levels of these fats in the
blood.
5. Heavy cigarette smoking.
