"Drinking and driving continues to be the leading cause of death for teenagers in Georgia and recent accidents have shown the problem isn't going away," said Tom Enright, regional administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). "Georgia's current laws simply aren't stopping 15 to 21-year olds from drinking and driving," Enright added. The poll showed 83 percent of Georgians feel that tougher DUI laws will reduce accidents and less than 30 percent feel Georgia's laws are as tough as DUI laws in other states. Seventy percent surveyed agreed that drivers who are not old enough to drink should face stricter DUI penalties than adults. Enright said youth drinking and driving can be most effectively deterred by lowering the acceptable alcohol concentration levels for drivers under 21 and by suspending the license of those who drink and drive. "An automatic license suspension for first offenders is crucial in reducing drunk driving because almost 75 percent of the people arrested for drunk driving are first offenders," Enright pointed out. The Rev. Nelson Price, pastor of the Roswell Street Baptist Church in Cobb County and a member of the Coalition for Young Driver Safety, said he, like his fellow pastors, has had the somber duty of officiating at funerals for victims of underage drinking and driving far ,Jik t' All /. v■ A' /If;,. /fv ; ; ‘ \ ■- * - \*£ p A % j ■ .*& ' \ A I • “The Store for Brides” Mr. and Mrs. Duke Lane Jr. Best Man.

"If underage drivers license suspension prevents just one mother and father from having to identify the mutilated body of their child, such a law should be passed," Rev. Price emphasized. "Over and over again I have seen how one drunk driver can destroy a family and, sometimes, even an entire community. I hope that people throughout the state will join me in voicing these concerns to the legislature," he added.

Weyerhaeuser’s green, growing forests do more than just grow wood for the products we all need. They’re also “oxygen factories” that help purify the air we all breathe. Young, fast-growing forests like ours cleanse the air by converting vast amounts of carbon dioxide into wood and oxygen. Old, slow-growing trees, on the other hand, are much less efficient at this conversion process. Most people believe that across our nation we should retain some older forests, for particular wildlife, aesthetic or other values. We agree. But in Weyerhaeuser’s working forests, we also believe people, wildlife, and the environment all benefit when we harvest mature trees, use their wood wisely, and promptly replant our lands to begin once more the whole process of forest renewal. The result, across America, is millions of acres of carefully nurtured Weyerhaeuser forests that are healthy, vigorous, economically useful, and a source of cleaner air for us all. A Weyerhaeuser
