MAY RE|NSTATE
LAPSED INSURANCE

The bureau of war risk insurance
has just issued new rulings liberaliz-
ing regulations under which lapsed
or cancelled war risk term insurance
NAV be reinstated or converted. After
being mustered out OF service, thou
sands of soldirs permitted their war
risk insurance to default. Anyone
who did so may have his policy rein
stated any time before January !, l9Az.
If the reinstatement is sought within
ninety days after the insurance has
iapsed, no new medical examination is
necessary. If the insurance has
lapsed a longer period. the applicant
must present medical certificate
from reputable physician. All wish
ing to be reinstated must tender two
monthly payments on the insurance al
the time of reinstatement.
1t is generally believed that ex-scr-
vice men who have permitted their in

of this opportunity
