For the convenience of the men, the
Home Service Section of the American Red
Cross will have on hand supply of blanks
for Conversion of Insurance" and "Ap-
plication for Reinstatement of Government
Insurance" The latest ruling of the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance provides that
insurance may be reinstated any time
within eighteen months after discharge
by payment of only one premium, and
that in the amount of what a man wishes
to carry. regardless of how much he may
have had during the war. There are six
types of policies which the Government
sells, so that every one may find some
thing to suit him. We feel sure that under
this new ruling many men will want to
reinstate. Be sure to ask for the blanks
and any information you may want.
