 2. Veterans discharged from the Navy after Sept. 15, 1914 should accompany their applications with copy of thier Notice Of Separa- tion (NAVP'RS 553).
 3. Boot leave does count against terminal leave.
 4. Overseas furloughs, unless otherwise designated, count the same as any furlough in the United States
 5. Veterans who have had their names legally changed since dis charge will need a certified copy of papers showing the name change
 6. Pocket-size copies of discharge should not be used to accompany applications for terminal leave. It is safer to use copy than the original since the original can not be replaced once it is lost.

 g. Read all instructions carefully when filling out the terminal leave application. Instructions for each question bear the same number as the question.
 In case any member or former member of the armed forces dies after discharge (or on or after Sep l tember l, 1946, If not discharged | before that date) and before ter minal leave payments have been settled, payment may be made on application therefore, to the sur viving wife and children, If any, in equal shares; If he leaves no sur viving wife or children, then in equal shares to surviving parents. | If there is no such survivor no pay ments will be made under this act.
 In the event of death of serv- iceman who holds bond or check issued under this act, payment of the bond and of the check will be made by the Secretary of the Treas ury, upon application of survivors, as follows:
 l. Surviving wife and children, if any in equal shares.
 2. If the bondholder leaves no surviving wife or children, then in equal shares to surviving parents, it any.
 3. If there is no such survivor. the bond will be retired and the check canceled, and the amount of both bond and check will revert to the Treasury. In other words. there is no payment to the estate of the deceased serviceman.
 If the Secretary of the Treasury is of the opinion that any member or former member of the armed forces or any survivor of such member Is unable satisfactorily to look after his own interests the Secretary may select a proper per son with whom to settle, without having a legal representative ap- pointed by judicial proceedings. However, if legal guardian or committee has been appointed, such person will be recognized.
