Veterans May
Appeal Denial
Os VA Claims
Some veterans and depen
dents are of the opinion that
once a claim for compensation
or pension has been denied by
the Veterans Administration
Regional Office, the case is
closed.
“This is not true,” said
Georgia Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler. “Such a
decision is not necessarily final.
A ‘decision of denial’ may be
appealed to the Board of
Vererans Appeals tin
Washington, D.C.
“If a claim for compensation
or pension has been denied, the
veteran may furnish additional
evidence before appealing his
case. Even if he has no further
evidence to support his claim,
but does have substantial
reason to believe that the
decision is not exactly in ac
cordance with the law and the
facts at hand, he may appeal
the decision at any time with
in one year from the date of the
letter denying his claim.”
Wheeler added that when the
case is presented to the Board of
Veterans Appeals, the veteran
will be represented.
Anyone needing assistance in
filing a claim or an appeal
should contact the field office
manager at any Georgia
Veterans Service Office.

a nation which has been blessed

quickly and

ingenuity has produced.
But along with the
tremendous progress and many
advantages of a nation on the
move has come the curse of
death, injury and destruction
through traffic accidents.
And the blood-chilling story
of the highway carnage —of
twisted, burned and shattered
bodies and steel continues to
be repeated in America, with
sickening regularity.
All of us are familiar with
statistics which tell us that
from one-half to two-thirds of
all Americans living today
either have been seriously
injured in traffic accidents, or
will be killed or injured
seriously in traffic accidents in
the future.
We know, too, that last year,
more than 56 thousand persons
died in auto accidents in this
country, raising the grim total
of traffic fatalities in America
since 1900 to some one million,
eight hundred thousand.
We have also heard the
sobering comparison of traffic
deaths to war deaths that in
the 70 years from the beginning
of this century through 1969,
more Americans were killed in
automobile accidents than have

died in all the wars in the 220
years from 1750 through 1969,
including Vietnam.
And because we know these
statistics and are aware of the
statistical gamble the average
motorist takes today when he
slides behind the wheel, we
have an obligation to ourselves,
our families and our fellow
citizens, to do even more to
make our highways safer.
We in Georgia have moved
to meet this blight of
destruction and death on
highways with a planned and
coordinated approach which is
unsu passed in our history.
Thousands of responsible
Georgians have focused their
determination and concern
upon the goal of making our
highways safer and seeking the
support of other groups and
individuals in reducing the
number of deaths and injuries
on our highways.
It was with this goal in mind
that the Maddox
Administration recommended
to the 1970 Georgia General
Assembly that more troopers
be added to our Highway
Patrol. And the total of 175
new troopers we have been able
to add during this
Administration an increase
of some 35 percent have
undoubtedly helped to save
lives. In fact, even though civil
disorders have taken hundreds
of our Highway Patrolmen
away from their traffic law
enforcement duties at times,
deaths on Georgia’s highways
this year are still running some
two percent below last year.
As of yesterday, 1,648
fatalities were recorded so far
in Georgia in 1970, compared
to 1,686 for the same period in
1969 —a reduction so far of
38.
This decrease is all the more
significant when it is
considered that in 1969,
Georgia ranked number one in
the nation in the percentage
increase of gasoline
consumption, and in the
percentage increase of motor
vehicle registrations.

Buck LeCraw likes to build
beautiful apartments. And
he builds them total-electric.
C. Buck LeCraw is one of Atlanta’s foremost developers.
Among his developments are Manor Ridge, North De
catur Manor, Raleigh Square and Venetian Hills. In all,
700 units arc total-electric. For good reasons.
“I’m pleased with total-electric buildings. They get
good public acceptance. Maintenance is low. And I can
install modern innovations and conveniences.
“Here at The Decatur Townhouses, for instance, the
apartments have heat-pump heating and cooling. Power
attic ventilators. A garbage compactor and dishwasher in
every unit. And an electrically powered main gate with
closed-circuit television security system.
“Tenants like these things. They also like to pay the
electric bill along with the rent. And Georgia Powers
economical total-electric rate keeps the bill low.
“I like this business because it’s creative and profit
able. Building total-electric helps me keep it that way.”
