VETERANS CAN RESUME
ARMY INSURANCE-In state
ment to the veterans at the Base
Apprentice Training School, w.
T. Doughty, Jr., Veterans Coun-
sci, asserted that a great number
of veterans have allowed their
insurance carried while in the
Armed Services to lapse since re-
turning to civilian life. Changes
are being proposed in connection
with insurance which is of a dis
tinct advantage to the ex-service
man. Among these is a proposal
that the full amount of policy
be paid Immediately upon the
death of the insured. This par
icular feature has not yet be-
come effective, however there
are other conditions proposed
which will no doubt cause policy
holders to be more careful in
maintaining good standing. A
proposal which has been adopted
IS to allow anyone who has failed
to maintain this insurance since
leaving the armed service to re-
Instate upon application prior to
Jan. l, 1947. 20 accomplish this
it is necessary that regular APP
plication be filed together with a
statement to the effect that the
applicant is in the same phys
ical condition as at time of dis
charge from the service and upon
payment of two premiums. Mr..
Doughtry can be found at MOB
Bldg. 1872 if any assistance is
needed in resuming your lapsed
policies.
SLOW DOWN! HOT Wealth
Err AHEAD! Nowadays the nor
NAL conversation inadvertently
turns towards the weather. If you
are warm, take a tip from this
Employees Handbook quote:
:. you folks from cooler parts
OF the country must learn that
the tropic dweller is not LAZY
because he moves slowly and de-
iiberately about his work instead
of rushing. He is WISE, because
he has learned to economic en-
ergy and to make every moment
tell. He does, not suffer from
heat like you do because he keeps
calm-"cool, and collected. He
gets plenty of work done without
getting all "hot and bothered
about it. Take a lesson from him
and try to go easy in the heat.
You will find yourself more eff
clent if you slow down little
than if you try to rush. You will
also avoid heat exhaustion.
/ OUGHT TO PRINT THE
CARTOON-Remember the car
toon of a little fellow wading
through all the notices posted on
a messy, dilapidated bulletin
board? And how, finally, be-
meath hundreds of other papers.
he comes to a message from Gen
eral Washington: Tomorrow at
dawn we cross the Delaware?
The Sub Base boards aren't that
bad, but there is enough room
for Improvement to make that
cartoon applicable. During the
war everybody was too busy to
worry about how the bulletin
board looked, just so the orders
got posted. And anything vital
spread via the grapevine, any
way. But the grapevine isn't re-
liable-never was, particularly
and the only way Yard employees
can learn Immediately of any or
derS or notices which affect them
is by reading the bulletin boards
Many of these boards are kept in
perfect shape-neat, clean, at
tractive, they are easily and
quickly read. A worker can tell
at glance if there is a new order
out which affects him. Thus, the
very few boards which are not
neat, not clean, not attractive
definitely contrast with all the
others. Material for these bulle-
