FOLK COUNTY NEWS, TRYQH, K6RTH CAROLINA ii r i HAlG Ofl TO WAR SURA CE risk in TreakurDeDartmenL Sends Out rBis AdVice to Demobilized Soldiers." NEW POLICIES ARE PLANNED Federal Government Perfecting New Forms With Many Advantages : Which Insured Men Will Want In Place of Present Con- ' tracts. Washington. A busy place these days of demobilization is the bureau of war risk insurance of the treasury de partment of the United States, with Its 14,000 employees and its flies contain ing 30,000,000 records. Demobilization is having the effect of making a large proportionof the soldiers become transient for an In definite peiod after leaving the serv ice. Many of the original addresses of these men become useless, as. thou sands forget to leave forwarding ad dresses and neglect to write to the bu reau. In this way many men are los ing touch with the bureau and are neglecting their Insurance. Hence the efforts of the bureau to keep in touch with demobilized men are increasingly difficult, as demobilization progresses. Every possible agency is being used, including the Red Cross and public or ganizations of many kinds. Uncle Sam is. perfecting plans for the new form of government insur ance which the demobilized soldier will want in place of his war risk Insur- - ance. , But(the soldier cannot change his war risk insurance for this new in surance unless his monthly premiums are paid up to date on his old insur- . ance.' y j Advice to Soldiers. The advice which is being sent out from the bureau of war risk insurance to the soldiers who hs,Ye left the serv ice may-be summarized thus: Hold on to your war risk insurance. J - Keep up your premium payments. If you have permitted your insurance rxi to lapse even- If : you have fonrialty . canceled, Jhasten to .reinstate it4un-, . der the new and liberal provisions for r I reinstatement v .

If you can't keep, ail of Itf keep at; least. part of it Ton cAii reduce it if you iave td v : 1 ? ' jou:can convert to a government en-. dowment . policy which will assurje,, financial comfort In later years.' '''"' All policies Issued by the govern ment contain a total disability clause, . making them pay able-it, any time you f may become totally and permanently disabled, regardless of your age. A. service man, after his return to civil life, may engage in any occupa tion, no matter how hazardous, without affecting his Insurance. No physical or medical examination -Is necessary for the conversion of poli cies. Your government Insurance is pro tected from the claims of creditors. Neither you nor your beneficiary ever will have to pay a cent taxes to the government on the proceeds of your government insurance. You may pay your premiums by the month, without having to pay anything extra on account of additional, expense to the government of collecting month ly' premiums. Or, if you prefer, you may pay quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The government pays all the expenses of running the business. You may have the whole-month in which to pay the premium for that month. If you fail to pay and your policy lapses, you may get It-back through provisions for reinstatement. Cash and Loan Values. After -one year the new government policies will have guaranteed cash and loan values, also paid-up insurance and extended term insurance values. The "cash value" of a new government pol icy is the amount the government gives you if you choose to give up your in surance. The '.Hoan value" means that you can borrow money on your policy up to 94 per cent of the cash value. "Paid-up Insurance and extended term Insurance values" mean that in the new policies, if you stop paying premiums after one year, the govern , ment allows one of the following op tions: (1) To remain insured for a certain time without cost to you. (2) To receive a . policy for a smaller amount, which will be paid, no matter when you die, and on which you will not have to pay any more premiums. .....
