Veterans Guide
By Maj. Thomos N. Mol

I believe when we bought national
service life insurance We got some
thing that's going to be better than
OK in the years to come.
National service life insurance
doesn't end when you leave the
service.
For an extremely low premium
this insurance was offered. We
could buy $1,000 or $4,000 or up to
$4,000 worth of protection for de-
pendents or relatives.
We can cintinue that protection
by paying, every month, the same
monthly premiums We had deducted
from our service pay.
The original law allowed us to
continue socalled term insurance
for five years after we took it out.
But that period has been heightened
to eight years-no increase in pre-
miums.
Thus We have eight years from
the time we first bought the in
surance to decide whether we want
to convert it to permanent type
of policy, one that actually builds
up some cash value and pays divi-
dends.
Pay Monthly.
All we have to do is pay those low
premiums each month. Pay by
check or money order and give full
name and policy number plainly.
That keeps the protection in effect
for whomever we've named as bene-
ticiary for the insurance.
Even if we've neglected the pre-
miums, no matter for how long, the
insurance can be reinstated by sign
ing statement that We are in as
good health as we were when the
insurance lapsed.. After that we
just have to pay two monthly pre-
miums and then continue paying
the small regular premiums each
month.
This only holds true for insurance
that has not been converted.
The next thing to consider is con-
verting. The original insurance we
bought was just plain protection. It
is term" insurance and has no cash
value. Only if we die does 1t become
valuable-to the beneficiary we
named when We bought the insur-
ance.
The sooner we convert, the lowe,
will be the new monthly rate of pre-
MUM we'll have to pay. If desired
We can convert back to the date We
bought term" insurance-but that
takes plenty of cash.
The insurance, after conversion
still will be national service life in.
surance. 1t is never transferred tt
a commercial life insurance COM
pany.
When we convert to a permanent
policy, we can choose one of three
types of permanent policies.
The ordinary life policy has the
lowest monthly premiums. These
premiums are payable for life.
The 30-payment life policy pre-
MUM is higher. They are payable
! for 80 years only. The insurance

If We could believe a certain Irish
story, we should conclude that the
deepest lake on our planet is in
Ireland.
In his good Irish way. guide told
me about the Devils Punch Bowl, a
small lake near the summit of q
mountain in the Killarney region.
This lake" he said, lis so deep
that no one could find out its depth
until an Australian visitor dived into
it. He kept going down until he
reached Australia. Then he sent a
cablegram asking that his clothes be
shipped to him."
I repeated that playful story to an
audience of school children. After
my talk, boy raised his hand to ask
question:
THAT wouldn't be possible, would
it. even If the lake were as deep as
that?"
I agreed that it would not be pos
sible, and I let him give his reason
to the other pupils.
Held by Gravity.
"Any one going down into the
earth," he said, would have to stop
going down when he reached the
center, because gravity would hold
him there"
You may think of other reasons
why the story could not be true. For
instance, the Australian would be
drowned long before he finished his
journey.
Even though such deep lake as
that does not exist, there are some
very deep lakes. Lake Baikal, in
Russia, is the deepest fresh-water
lake. At one point it has a depth
Of 5,400 feet.
Great Salt Lake is famous be-
cause it has water so heavy that a
person cannot sink in it unless he
dives from . high point or holds
heavy weights while in the lake. 1t
Is dangerous to dive into Great Salt
Lake. The water Is 50 heavy that
