usual conditions ana costs, but the
nfic6 the government charges makes
al the differences and you should con
slider the question from that stand
point and,-a-en't they worth this
larger sum?
The government believes they are
and that Is why it earnestly urges you
TO continue TO accept the CO operation
Of Uncle Sam in keeping up your con-
tract fo@ the protection Of the home
folks.
But now, let US ask another que
ston--
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
Yes. you yourself? The government
thinks you are, thinks so so much thai
Uncle Sam is ready to stay in the life
| insurance business to serve you. be
cause you so spIeniidly served him in
the day Of his peril.
He will stay in the life insurance
business so that at any time within the
five years after the close of the war,
you may have a chance to make per-
mauent contract with him for life in
surance policy that will protect your
home folks whenever you die and pro-
tect you, yes you---by ordinary life
insurance, twenty payment life, en-
dowment maturing at age G., or some
other usual form Of insurance. And
mind you, you can get this permanent
protection from Uncle Sam at rate
that viii be impossible elsewhere, and
that too, without a physical examina-
ton.
SO now. here is the proposition:
1st Continued government insur-
ance under the present contract. at
substantially the present cheap rate
for five years.
End Permanent government life in
suranee. which you can Get any time
during five ysars at government rates
provided you hold on to Uncle Sam 5
Insurance now.
So you see, IT comes back again to
the question. Are they worth 1.-THE
people for whom you insured when the
war broke out?
And again,-Are you worth It?
III YOU come out of the war physical
ly impaired, you win be unable to OBJ
tain any life insurance protection
wha tsoever,-unless you keep up your
present insurance with the United
States government Uncle Sans in
surance may be continued and con
verified into standard government poll
cies. regardless Of your physical con
dition. This factor is Of the very high
est Importance.
But leaving your physical condition
out of consideration, it is to your in
terest and to the interest of your fam
ily both for the present and for the
future, to keep up your government in
surance. Before you leave the service.
discuss this matter with your com
handing officer and with the insur
aance officer at your place OF duty. He
will tell you Just how to keep up your
insurance. how TO pay your premiums
after YOU leave the service and how
you viii later be able to change into
the standard forms of government in
s1lrance. When you are home you can
discuss these things with the Local
Home Service Section Of the American
Red Cross or you can write TO the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance. atten-
ton Insura nee Section, Treasury De
partment Washington, D G.
Remember, Uncle Sam went into the
insurance business for your protection
and for your benefit. and he will stay
in the insurance business for you,
giving you the cheapest, strongest, and
safest insurance possible,
If you wish 10 avail yourself Of the
protection. if you wish 10 obtain for
yourself and your family the fun hene-
fits given by a grateful Republic to its
fighting forces.--then
HOLD ON TO UNCLE SANS IN
sURANcE.
But after all, don't forget. that the
fundamental question is
ARE THEY WORTH IT?
