1t is estimated that this is twice or
thrice as cheap as private insurance,
of equal strength and amount. Even
after the war ends or after the ter.
mination Of your service, you can 60
on with this insurance. Within five
years after the war you must trans
fer the form of your policy. During
the war your insurance is an annual
policy, renewable from year to year.
After the war, you may exchange 1t to
a permanent form such as a straight
life, twenty payment or an endowment
policy. In this form your policy will
have a cash surrender value. Your
insurance will still be with the United
States Government. The beneficiary
in case Of total disability is yourself.
In the event of death your beneficiary,
either wife, child, parents, grandchild.
rem, brothers, sisters, grandparents or
Wife's parents. If no beneficiary is
named, to your nearest relative. If
you should be totally and permanently
disabled you would receive $5.75 per
month for each thousand dollars. If
had ten thousand, $3.50 per month.
In case of death your beneficiary
would receive $5.75 per month for 240
months or twenty years on every
thousand dollars of insurance. If you
had taken out ten thousand dollars
and made your wife your beneficiary,
she would received $3.50 per month
for twenty years. This Is in addition
to any compensation she might be en-
titled to.
One of the most important things to
bear in mind is that you must apply
for this insurance within one hundred
and twenty days from the time you
enter the service.
There is an associate field director
at each camp ready to help and assist

families; the insurance law and the
