CT Dividends To
Average Over $3.50

First Veterans Administration
calculations on amounts proposed
to be paid nearly 100000 veter-
ans in the $2.8 billion special CT
Insurance dividend have been an
nounced.
Top amount any veteran can
receive will be 1923, although the
average amount will be much less.
The dividend will be paid on both
term and converted National Ser
vice Life Insurance policies for the
period that the policy was in force
prior to the policy anniversary in
l948. No payments will be made
for periods of lapse, VA said.
Maximum payment of $528 was
based on a $4,000 policy in force
for 966 months (the longest pos
sible period), on veteran who
was 40 or less at the time his
policy was taken out. This repre-
sents a payment of 55 cents a
month per $1,000 of insurance.
The rates of payment for the
dividend will be as follows: those
40 years old or under at the time
policy was issued, 55 cents per
month per $1,000 of insurance;
Al, So cents; AZ, 49 cents; az, as
cents; a., az cents; As, 40 cents;
46, 81 cents; At, 81 cents; AZ, 81
cents; 49, 28 cents; so, 25 cents;
81, "a cents; 52, % cents; So, %
cents; Sd, Fl cents; and 55 and
over, 20 cents.
First dividend checks are sched-
uled to be mailed from Washing
ton soon after January l, 1850.
World War Two veterans eli
gible for the special dividend
(those who took out CT Insurance
before the end of 1947 and kept it
in force for at least three months)
who have not already applied,
We're advised to get an official ap-
plication blank at their nearest
post office, VA office OF veterans
service organization, fill it out
carefully and mail it to VA in
Washington. An official applica-
ton is necessary before the divi-
dend can be paid.
VA said the estimated rate of
the dividend was arrived at after
long actuarial studies and that
the rate of payment would be the
same for both term and converted
policies.
County Service Officer Ezra E.
Hiss advises World War ii veter-
ans who have not applied for their
dividend for National Service Life
Insurance should delay no longer
as all veterans who had NSL in
surance in effect 90 or more days
are eligible.
This dividend is a refund of sur
plus premiums paid by the veter-
an himself, and should not be con-
fused with a bonus.
Benefciaries of deceased veter-
ans need not make application for
dividends as the V. A. will mail
them a check some time after
January |.
No dividend will be paid for
periods when insurance was in
lapse, but will be paid on lapsed
policies which We're in force three
months or more.

SHAKY START BY REDSKINS Gives
WOODWARD CACERS 62-51 VICTORY

Port Clinton's Redskins absorb
ed their third defeat in 10 games
Friday night when they got of to
shaky start and failed to recover
in time to overtake Woodward.
The Polar Bears had things their
own way in winning, 62 to 81.
The spacious Woodward audi
torium was a decided advantage
for the home team, as the Red
skins tired rapidly after racing up
and down the lengthy floor.
Harold "Nook" Masing, who
had been suffering from the flu
during the past week, did not start
the game. Bill Fritz played Mas
ing's center position and Curt
Wepler started at left forward.
During the entire first period,
Port Clinton's cagers could score
only six points of which four were
field goals by Bill Fritz and two
were free throw conversions by
Bill Belshaw.
For welcome change, officials
Kinney and Florence seemed i'm
partial in calling fouls and there
was no complaint due in that de-
partment. Seventeen fouls were
called against the Redskins while
10 were charged to Woodward
players.
Woodward's high scoring for
wards, Ted Rokicki and jim Club
ner were rested at least one quar-
ter during the second half when
victory seemed assured for the To-
ledoans. Capable substitutes
helped the scoring, while Port
FClinton's substitutes failed to
score.
Belshaw Stars
Bill Belshaw, smoothest worker
on the team, piled up II points to
pace the Redskins. During the
recent Lakeside game, Belshaw
also scored II points to tie Dave
krupp and Harold Masing for high
scorer.
jim Chubner, one of Toledo's
highest scoring players, had 18
points for individual honors. Ted
Rokicki, who played only three
quarters, and Dave Krupp, each
scored IA points.
In the preliminary game, Wood
wards Reserves had no difficulty
in downing the Port Clinton Re-
serves, 40 to %. Teddy Selgo
spanked the locals, scoring seven
points and breaking up numerous

WHEN the talk turns to cars and car
w engines these days, that's topic you
hear much about.
So it's fairly interesting to note that, even
back before the war, Buick engines like
this one were touring the testing grounds
with compressions as high as 10 to |.
Even later than that this same big Buick
power plant has been filling our engineers
notebooks with data on s to compression
ratios
What has come out of this? Two or three
interesting points.
First of all, that this big Buick FirebaIl
valve-in-head straight-eight already has a
compression ratio that gets as much
out of present fuels as any engine on the
market.
Next, that these ratios can readily be
stepped up to fit higher octane gasolines
as they become available.
