Members of 810th Pioneer lnfantry-l M'-" HO I IMI LJ f WHIlt IHhtt IHIUIirn i OOLliRS INSURANCE Oil? l| Only Thirty Recruits Out of 15, ? Hp 000 in Camp Greene Failed J to Take Policies, j Three million dollar* Insurance h writte/i each/ day for the boys at ^ I;.", damp Greene. That is a record that any Insurance company would envy in |. . V a year, but Uncle Sam has such a system so that nearly every boy who ? enters the American army is well J protected and it gives him much re- {* lief to know that his dependents will p be* cared for and that worries of that nature are eliminated. Recently in F I .V this camp out of 16,000 men recruited all but 30 took out insurance with air . average policy of $9,000 and a minijg mum of $1,000, the average amount written each day being over $3,000,- ? 1too. ? As soon as the recruit reaches camp q Hp. he goes through the regular routine of being assigned and Just as soon as b that is finished the insurance depart- a mcnt calls upon mm ana ue is iuujt ^ examined, classed and every detail rjf-V that is necessary taken about his family and past histoiy and his policy ? p is written. The recruit has a privipV: lege of 120 days in which to decide whether or not he wants the insurK?r-;i ance and after that time it is too late for him to take advantage of the iWfc-, government's protection and most of fifflL,', the boys take It right away as it is "Just the same as depositing money in b:; the bank. If a soldier is wounded, he is taken Bgr;: care of until he is well and if he Is j||j? fully disabled he gets the full, value LgpT of the policy. It is interesting to SV visit the insurance office at headquarters under the ^ble direction of Lieu64. tenant S. R. Holcomb where all the Ja&V data is made up and kept. Suppose a soldier is killed or dies while in the Br service and has a $10,000 policy. His Wis?' beneficiaries will receive monthly Inj.: stallments of $67.50 a month for 20 Nj* years which at the end of that time ? will, amount to $13,000, and on $1,000 they will receive at the rate of $5.75 a month. The premium by the month is ' very light and on a < ? . $1,000 policy amounts to only 69 cents Egj at the age o? 30 years. Also along with | r this it might be noted that every sol-I B dier Is under duty to allot $15 each H&'; month to his wire ana cnnaren. The government Also relieves the soldier the trouble of making the KjSs ; premium .payments every month, deHpp'" ducting the same from his pay and Jg&vhe is then relieved of that worry and trouble of allowing the policy to lapse and the relatives at home can: rest assured that Just us soon as t!^ enKfcj-V.. listed man Is In the activo military ' service and signs up for a policy, and 8?y.V pays one premium, his people are tp'-y * protected, although through the great list of applications in every . "camp it may take months to coras^lete the policy and records. It is a g?eat system and tho soldier goes into Bfc^the service with a lighter heart and &? less worry that in any other army on ?s earth. These policies aio written among the colored as well as white troops & and some of the former don't even know their own names, not roentionting their ages. V'j ?? KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS figgr* ?
