Reinstate Government Insurance
Now Says Local Legion in Appeal

War who have allowed their Govern
ment Insurance, the cheapest and best
available to service men, to lapse.
The Government agency handling this
matter is the United States Veterans
Bureau. The Minneapolis Regional
Office of this Bureau states that fully
60 per cent of the eligible men in
Minnesota, approximately 10000 in
number. have not taken advantage of
this benefit offered by the Govern
ment. According to the statements
of prominent local members of SER
vice organizations, there is no bene-
fit which the Government has pro-
vided for service men which is so ex-
tensive, and so productive of econ
omic good to service men as Gov
eminent Insurance.
From the standpoint of community
good it can be stated that veteran
who is a policy holder has removed
those who are dependent upon him
from the possibility of becoming a
financial burden upon the community,
state, and nation. This veteran has
provided for his dependents in case
of his death, and has provided for

come a candidate. DR.. Inglis has

all phases of community work for
several years. They were co-workers
