VA Policies
In Conversion
A, W, Tate, manager of the
Veterans Administration Reg
ional Office in Atlanta, said to
day that more than half of the
91,000 Georgia veterans who hold
$742,591,000 worth of govern=-
ment life insurance have not yet
converted these policies from
term to a permanent plan,
In 1968, he pointed out, Geor=
gla veterans paid $11,648,000 in
premiums to keep both term and
permanent government policies
in force,
Word War II and Korean Con
flict veterans hold most of the
term policies, Mr, Tate said,
Now at an average age of 49,7
years, World War II veterans in
Georgia who have not converted
their insurance will soon find th
eir National Service Life Insur
ance premiums going up as a
result of advancing age,
Permanent insurance costs
more to begin with, but the pre
mium rates for permanent in
surance never go up, Perman=-
ent policies also have loan, cash=

Dove Season Sel,
Bag Limit Raised
Georgia’s dove season for this
fall will again be in two seg
ments, from Sept, 6 to Oct, 4,
and -from Dec, 6-to Jan, 15, the
State Game and Fish Commiss=
ion said today., Also, seasons
for marsh hens, woodcock and
snipe were released,
This year, for reasons of
studying the affect of hunting on
dove populations, the bag limit
on doves was increased from 12
per day to 18 per day. The in
crease may continue through the
1970 season, but in 1971, regul
ations will probably revert toa
more conservative bag limit,
The Southeastern Dove Study
Committee, made up of state
conservation agencies in the
Eastern Management Unit, along
with the U, S, Bureau of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife, has made
the change in bag limits to see
if heavier hunting pressure will
make a measurable effect on the
numbers of doves,
Biologists will carefully meas
ure the dove populations through
call counts of the birds during
mating seasons and banding just
prior to the hunting season,
In banding, birds are trapped
and given a leg band, while re
cords are made of the date and
location of banding, When a bird

information about the various
