rates in America of many genera
tions ago. People live longer now.
So premiums which GIs had to
pay and are still paying, are too
high.
In addition, the general VA in
surance fund has been drawing
three percent interest from the
taxpayer while it has been in the
Y. S. treasury. Another possible
explanation for the great size of
the surplus is the unexpectedly
large number of veterans who
have let their policies lapse. They
paid millions into the fund, never
took anything out, and now the
government doesn't have to keep
aside any money for the event of
their death.
How soon will veterans get a
dividend on their policies? Eigh-
teen months is the most optimist-
ic estimate. Even after congress
appropriates money for the book
keeping task, it would probably
take more than a year to COM
plete it, working at top speed.
VA insuran nee officials say
there will have to be a time limit
on how long a CT has had his
policy in force in order to qualify
for a dividend.
Present estimate is that 80 per-
cent of all former GIs who
bought government insurance
out of their service pay will get
some money back.
The average dividend would
vary according to how much in
surance a man held, how long he
kept it paid up and his age.
But the dividend is there. Just
when the average Union county
veteran will receive it is strictly
matter of speculation.

MORE MONEY FOUND FOR VETERANS;
THIS Time IN SURLUS INSURANCE FUNDS

Just when it appears that the
going is getting rough on the
average veteran, along comes an
announcement which usually
means another cash outlay for
the veterans of World War IL.
A surplus estimated to be be-
tween one and half and two
billions, which like Topsy, "jest
growed" in the Veterans Admin
Stration National Service Life In
Surance Fund, will be distributed
among the nations veterans in
cash, including of course Union
county.
The great majority of veterans
who held a CT insurance policy
stand to get some money back,
regardless of whether they have
let policies lapse. This is the first
o f f C i a announcement by VA
that the surplus fund will be di-
vided m ong all present plus
most former CT policy holders
and that payments will be made
in cash.
Based upon the most conser-
Vative estimate of the size of the
fund, it is believed that the av-
erage dividend will be $100 per
veteran.
1t may or may not be paid
about the same time as the bon
us in Ohio but 1948 should be a
profitable year for the average
veteran.
Chief reason for the surplus is
the fact that outdated mortality
tables had to be used to figure
the NSLI premiums. No other
tables were available when the
governments insurance program
was created for World War II.
The tables were based on death

TRAIN HITS TRUCK,
DRIVER SCRATCHED

William E. Ahern, 33, of Chica-
go, was only slightly injured at
10:45 a. m. today when the trac-
tor-trailer truck he was driving
for the Kra # Food Co., was
struck by a passenger train on
the New York Central crossingI
just southeast of the Gray Lum-
Der Co., on Route 33.
Ahern said that he saw the
track blinkers and applied his
brakes to stop, but started to-
skid on the wet pavement. When
he realized that he couldn't stop
in time he then tried to beat the
train. He almost succeeded but
the train hit the tail end of his
truck.
Although the cab and trailer of
the truck were almost demolish-
ed, Ahern escaped with only min
or scratches on his hands and one
knee. The William H. Faulkner
ambulance was called immediat-
ely and brought the driver into
DR.. Fl. E. Stricker's office.
Ahern was returning to Chi
cago with a full load of empty
glass cans. Both the train and
the truck were headed toward
Marysville. When struck by the
| train, the back of the truck was
dragged off the edge cf the road.
The truck crashed about 100 feet
north west of the track after
going in the ditch and complete
ly severing a utility pole. The
right side of the cab struck the
pole, denting in the side a n d
crumpling up the roof and front
of the cab due to the force with
which it struck.
Any damage done to the glass
cans in the truck is not known,
as the load was not dumped
when the truck tipped over.
Sheriff Fl. S. Roosa was called
to investigate the accident. Buds
wrecker is attempting to move
the truck, which is in rather
jack knitted position off the road.

OHIO FARM BUREAU
PICKS MRS. KANDEL
Represents Southwest
District on Directors

Mrs. Henry HANDEL, who lives
northeast of Marysville, was re-
elected to the board of directors
of the Ohio Farm Bureau Feder-
alton at their convention held in
Columbus Nov. "a, 25 and 26.
She will represent the % counties
in the southwest district of Ohio.
Mrs. Handel has served in this
capacity for the last three years
and will now serve for an addi-
tional three years.
Ann, as she Is known to her
friends, is a charter member OF
the Union County Farm Bureau
and has served this community
in many capacities. She has SER
we'd on the County Farm Bureau
Board of Directors; she has been
president, secretary and chairman
of many committees. Active in
the Home and Community Com
mittee she has held all of the Off
ces of this organization and was
Districk Chairman of District No.
No. 4.
Mel Kennedy, Harold Bishop
and Bob Mather were the Off
cial delegates from Union County
to the convention. Others who
were in attendance from here
were: Mrs. Harold Bishop, Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Bishop, Mr..
and Mrs. Ray Brake, Mrs. Ivan
Beck and Mr.. and Mrs. Les Gull
man.
Among the resolutions passed
was one to oppose the paying of
income tax by farmers co-opera-
tives, because they allocate their
reserves to the credit of their pat
rons. Farmers co-operatives are
similar to partnerships and pro-
pietorships which pay no income
taxes as such, but their partici-
pants are taxed on the incomes
they derive from the business.
Another resolution approved
demands for extension of old
age and retirement benefits of the
social security law to cover farm
ers and farm workers. The nation
al soil fertility bill and long
range farm program were ap-
proved by the delegates.

music FESTIVAL
HERE THIS EVENING

Music lovers and others only
mildly interested in music should
plan to attend the All-County
Music Festival to be held in the
Marysville high school auditori-
um tonight. The festival displays
the musical talent of students
from all areas of Union County.
Perhaps the most beautiful
part of the program is the 500
voice mixed chorus, because of
its size and volume which fills
every inch of the auditorium.
Much hard work has gone into
the program, by both instructors
and pupils. A splendid program
is. expected, however, in return
for the hours of practice. At the
end of the main program the
audience will be asked to join the
mixed chorus for the singing of
a few Christmas carols.
