c.I. Insurance

This Is the first Of q series Of
articles designed to acquaint the
veterans with the benefits Of
fered by National Service Life
Insurance and to show him how
he can use it to help attain his
own financial objective.
National Service Life Insurance
was offered by the u. S. Govern
ment to members Of the armed
forces because Of the unusual
hazard Of war-and because 1t
was realized that the loss Of the
soldier or sailor would mean the
loss Of present or future bread
winner in his home. Some sort
Of income had to be set up to re-
place his earnings if he failed
to return.
Because Of the low pay Of q
service man ut the time the In
surance Act was passed in 1910
$3.50 per month to q private) it
was necessary to furnish the in
surance at low cost. Consequent
IL it was decided to offer temper
ary insurance (term insurance..
because the cost ran to around DOC
per month per $1,000. In that
type of insurance all the pre-
miums paid in 60 to pay for the
claims Of those who die in any
given year. These policies were
originally issued under five year
term and all policies issued on or
before December 81, l945 have
been automatically extended to
eight year policies without any
addition to the monthly premium.
For those who have others de-
pending on them for q living and
for those who have not yet ar
rived Financially. this Is one
of the finest plans of protection
ever devised. However, term in
surance does not build up cash
or loan value; it offers protection
only.

Grain And Cotton Prices Slump
CBy The Associated PreSS)

(By The ASSOclated PreSS)
 Prices slumped sharply on the grain and cotton exchanges today in reaction to President Truman's call for a special session of Con gress to combat imitation and soaring living costs.
 Wheat opened 212 to 614 cents lower on the Chicago Board of Trade and cotton futures opened S1.55 to $3.25 a bale lower in New York.
 Reports that Congress might be asked to require higher down pay ments for speculative buying on the grain exchanges and authorize the allocation of scarce commodi- ties had a depressing effect on grain prices. Cotton traders were reported fearing the free market in cotton might be affected by the proposed program.
 December wheat was quoted at $3.10 to $3.08 a bushel; corn was 234 to 434 lower, December S2.28- 2.26, and oats were 1s to 234 low CT, December $1.19-1.18A.
