lot of attention in Japan, especially
on the beaches. (Pinkey has vivid

As a service to veterans IN the

NSLI TERM POLICIES
MUST BE RENEWED
Montana veterans are re-
minded that National Service
Life InSurancetpolicies must be
renewed, or converted to a
permanent insurance plan.
The Veterans ADMINISTRATION
is now sending out notices of
expiration to some veterans in,
the area. Policies issued before
January 1, 1916, expire eight
years from date of issue. Those
issued after that expire in five
years. s, ~ ...t I
All term policies may be re-
neWed for an additional five
years, as provided by law. Vet
Grams must fill out a renewal
application form and mail it
to the VA before the expira-
ton of their policies. The first
premium payment must also
accompany the application.
Premiums will be slightly
higher than on the previous
policy since they are based on
the age of the veteran at the
time of renewal. No physical
examination is, necessary eX-
cept in cases where the policy
has been lapsed for a longer
period than three months.
Veterans who wish to convert
their policies to permanent in
surance will find six standard
plans available. They are:
Ordinary life, 20-pay life, 30
pay life, 20-year endowment,
endowment at age 60 and en-
doWment at age IS.

ance benefits may be obtained
