VETS REMINDED TO
RENEW LIFE INSURANCE

Alaska veterans are reminded
that National Service Life Insur-
anee policies must be renewed, or
converted to a permanent insur-
anee plan.
Tie Veterans Administration is
now. sending out notices of expira-
ion to some veterans in the area.
Poll les issued before January l..
1916, expire eight years from date
of issue. Those issued after that
date expire in five years.
All term policies may be renew
ed for an additional five years, as
provided by law. Veterans must fill
out renewal application form
and mail it to the VA before the
expiration 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
except in cases where the policy
has been lapsed for a longer per
iod than three months.
Veterans who wish to convert
their policies to permanent insur-
ance will find six standard plans
available They are: Ordinary life.
20-pay life, 30-pay life, 20year
endowment, endowment at age 60,
and endowment at age 65.
Full information ON insurance
benefits may be obtained at any
VA office.
In answer to many inquiries as
to how veterans may get the NSLI
dividends due to be paid soon, the
VA stresses: Do not write about
your NSLI dividend. To do so will
cause delay. Special application
blanks are now being prepared,
and are expected to be available in
August at every post office, veter-
ans service organization and VA
office.

of hearing talks given by Robert
Shea and Earl Dombross, both ex-
ecutives in the San Francisco Of
flee Both men have served with
the Red Cross for several years,
and due to their wide experience
and knowledge of the workings of

RETURNING TO ALASKA
AFTER ABSENCE OF
SEVERAL MILLION YEARS

JUNEAU - After an absence of
some thirty to forty million years.
the Dawn Redwood has returned
to Alaska via China. Sixty seed
lings were recently received by the
Alaska Forest Research Center of
the L. S. Forest Service and these
have been planted at Jcneau, Ket-
chikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Craig,
.Cordoya, Anchorage and Palmer.
In prehistoric days the Dawn
Redwood, together with birches,
beeches, oaks and chestnuts, grew
in temperate forests in Alaska.
Greenland. Iceland, Spitzbergen
northern Siberia and the Arctic is
lands north of North America. As
the earth's climate changed. the
Dawn Redwood migrated south and
eventually disappeared. 1t was
found in fossils, but was thought
to be an ancestor to the Coast Red
wood now growing in California.
Recently a few trees, identical in
all respects to the fossils, were dis
covered growing in an isolated
part of China. They were found to
be somewhat different than the
Coast Redwood in that the Dawn
Redwoods east their leaves in win
ter. This explained why it had
been growing with deciduous trees
such as oak and birch in a climate
not suited to the Coast Redwood.
Here was a fossil come to life;
a tree that grew millions of years
before man appeared on earth.
Professor Ralph W. CLANCY. paleo-
botanist of the University of Cal
ifornia. collected seed from the
trees found in China. Seedlings
were terminated at the University
of California ana a few sent to
various places where the tree
might possibly live. Whether the
Dawn Redwood will live once more
in Alaska remains to be seen.
