Are You Overlooking An Opportunity?

government insurance is appalling.
Many eX-service men are of the opin-
ION that they have to repay all back
premiums in order to renew this in
surance, while others are Of the opin-
ion that the converted insurance is
handled by commercial companies;
while still a larger group do not
know anything at all about govern
ment insurance. This article there
fore, is written in an effort to bring
to the attention of eX-service men, a
few facts about their privileges, and
who would undoubtedly benefit by
the information contoined in this ar
ticle.
Government insurance is used to
serve many different purposes. The
provident eX-service man can take out
an insurance policy with the govern
ment at this time in order to insure
a favored child or children a college
education; while the improvident eX
service man can deny his dependents
lack of information with regard to
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-04-02

a great many comforts by neglelting
to take this insurance up again. The
farsighted farmer who is eligible fol
this insurance may take it for the
purpose of paying off a mortgage OH
the old home. If he is taken away
from this world before he has lived
his allotted three score and ten years,
his dear ones, instead Of having to
struggle under the responsibility of
paying off a mortgage and earning
their livelihood, will have this taken
care of by the payment Of the gov
ernment insurance policy.
Settlements are made in cash or al
lotments, according to the policy
holders desires. The six different
forms of government insurance poll
cies available are: Ordinary Life; 20
and 30-Payment Life; 20 and 80 Year
Endowments; Endowment at Age 62.
Men retaining their War Risk Term
Insurance must convert same before
July 2, 1926 After that date no
Term Insurance can be secured
through the government Bureau.
1t is not necessary for me to dwell
upon the hazards that many Of, our
readers are continually facing and the
fact that they would have to pay ex-
ira premiums for insurance obtained
through commercial companies, be-
cause these men, more than anyone
else, realize all of this.
The writer has the assurance of the
United States Veterans Bureau that
any one desiring additional informa-
tiOn with regard to government insur-
ance can obtain same by communicat-
ing with the Insurance Division, U. S.
Veterans Bureau, Washington, D. c.
Those who desire to talk to someone
about Government Insurance will be
gladly received by any local office of
the United States Veterans Bureau
or officials Of the American Legion
in their respective localities.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-04-02

EX-service men who are engaged in
active occupations are especially fav
ored in connection with government
insurance, in that they do not have to
pay any extra premium because they
are engaged in hazardous occupa-
ton. The contracts issued to these
men are written on the same basis as
those sold to the lawyer or doctor.
All converted government insur-
ance has a cash surrender and loan
value after the policy is one year of
age. Among its five hundred and sew
enty-odd thousand converted insur-
ance policy holders, the government
has distributed in loans an amount eX-
ceeding ,000,000,000. These loans
are made at the rate of about one
million and a half dollars each month.
Such loans are re-payable at the bor-
rower's will and only nominal rate
g per cent interests charged.
Every man who is eligible for this
insurance should Immediately investi-
gate the beneficial features of the
governments program. This advice
is given with the understanding that
all such men are interested in pro-
viding for their own feature and that
of their dependents. The men are
not required to renew the full $4,000
they carried during the war. 1t is
possible for them to renew the full
$4,000 they carried during the war
1t is possible for them to renew anC
convert this insurance in amounts
from $1,000 to $4,000 in multiples
Of $780,
While Congress was very thought,
full in making every possible provision
for the eX-service man in an insur,
ance way, even to the point of selling
it to him at net cost, one important
feature was neglected. Congress die
not provide fund with which to ad-
vertise the privileges extended to the
men in this connection. Hence, the
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-04-02

Approximately fourteen million
persons throughout the country face
loss of over $4,000, 100000 during
the course of the next fifty years
This loss is in prospective income in
the value of Government Insurance
which has been dropped by ex-service
men since the war. Incidentally, the
men and their dependents
are among that class of citizens who
can least afford to lose this money.
The government, through Congress,
has provided that the eX-service men
who lapsed their government insur-
ance may renew and convert it pro-
viding they act before July 2, 1926.
The only thing the eX-service man
has to do is to pass physical exam
ination either by Bureau physician
or a private physician and pay one
months back premium at his war
time rate and one months premium
on the kind and amount of insurance
selected at his present age.

Status of Offspring by Nor

by Remuneration.

LONDON, January IA problem
has arisen regarding the future OF
Charles Hohenzollern, the 6-year-old
son of former Crown Prince Carol OF
Rumania, and his morganatic wife
ZyZiZ Lambrino, says a dispatch te
the Daily Mail from Bucharest.
When their marriage was annulled
the Rumanian government made pro.
visions for mother and child, but
Carols remuneration Of the throne has
altered the situation. The boys name,
which was officially but temporarily
bestowed by King Ferdinand, cannot
now be retained and he cannot go 10
school until a permanent name Is de.
termined upon.
Charles at present Is living with his
grandfather, a wealthy land owner, at
his estate between Jassy and
Bucharest. ZyZiz is in Bucharest with
a brother, who is d lawyer.
Contrary to some reports, says the
Daily Mail, ZyZiz has had no love af-
fairs since her separation from the
crown prince. She refuses to talk
about Carol, except TO say that she
always will remain his faithful and
true friend.

 The gunboats left the Rhine when the Brit sh evacuated Cologne.
