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.

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 We'll Reward You In Advance FOR SAVING AT SECURITY FEDERAL YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE TO HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT OPEN YOURS TODAY FOR $200.00 OR ADD $200.00 TO AN EXISTING ACCOUNT AND RECEIVE A FREE! , NERTIA nutcracker RSB VJiV Tl/ ll* I WE’LL ALSO PAY YOU THE HIGHEST DIVIDENDS ON YOUR SAVINGS PERMISSIBLE [ (* I BY LAW, SO STOP BY AND DO YOUR THING BY SAVING WITH I SECURITY FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION f PLAN FOR CHRISTMAS 71 5 A CONVENIENT SECURITY SAVINGS PLAN WILL MEAN A 4% M BETTER PLANNED CHRISTMAS FOR 1971.

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.
