URGES SOLDIETS
TO RENEW u. S.
WAR INSURANCE
URGES SOLDIERS

According to a report just receiv-
ed by the Home Service department
of the Americas Red Cross chapter,
seventy-five per cent. of men dis
charged from military service since
the signing of the armistice have al
ready dropped their term life insur-
ance, carried by them with the gov
eminent. Miss Ruth Clark, who is
director of the home service depart
ment here, is accordingly interested
in the effort to have all former mill
tary and naval service men continue
their government insurance in force,
and efforts are under way now to in
duce all Americas and Sumter coun-
ty soldiers to keep their government
insurance in full force.
Telling today of the desire of the
government war risk insurance bu-
reau to continue all policies in eff
feet, Miss Clark explains the condi-
tions under which this insurance may
be renewed and told of the various
options offered by the war risk insur-
ance bureau to ex-service men who
desire to keep their policies in force.
These options include the right to
convert their present policies into
either of six forms of insurance, as
follows: Ordinary life, Repayment
life; 30-payment life; 2O-yearen-
dowment; 30-year endowment, and
an endowment policy maturing when
the insured shall have reached the
age of 81 years.
This gives these former soldiers
and sailors an attractive choice Of
insurance they may elect to carry
with the government war risk insur-
ance bureau, and at rate very much
lower than charged by existing old
line insurance companies. Those who
have allowedtheir term insurance to
lapse, can be re-instated, Miss Clark
announces, and blanks for re-instate-
ment and conversion of government
insurance can be had by applying to
her at the office of the Home Service,
Red Cross, in the postofice building.
