Insurance Savings Available
On Some Veterans' Policies
Veterans of Korean service who
hold GI term insurance were re
minded by the Veterans Adminis
tration of savings of some two-
thirds in their premium costs that
may be had by exchanging their
policies for a newly authorized sim
ilar type of GI term policies.
The policies which are subject
to this exchange and the conse
quent saving in premium costs can
be identified by the code letters,
“RS,” which precede the policy
numbers of each certificate. VA
said some 500,000 veterans of Ko
rean service hold this type of pol
icy and may apply for the ex
change.
The principal difference between
the new and older types of term
policy is that the new kind must
be converted to one of the per-

manent forms of GI insurance be
fore the veteran reaches age 50.
This should not prove a hardship,
;VA said, since most veterans with
term policies would find term pol
icy premium rates so high beyond
age 50 that they would in any case
convert to a permanent type policy
before reaching that age.
Full information on making this
exchange for veterans with “RS”
GI policies may be secured from
any VA office.
VA said the new kind of insur
ance rates has become possible fol
lowing passage of a new law, which
itself was based on the fact of more
favorable mortality experience for
veterans of Korea service than had
been originally expected.
VA suggested a means of saving
on insurance premiums for anoth
er type of policyholder. Veterans
who receive compensation pay
ments from VA may instruct the
agency to deduct the premium di
rect from compensation payments.
If this is done, the veteran saves
the time and expense of drawing a
check or money order and mailing
it to a VA district office.
Veterans who are drawing retire
ment pay may similarly have the
branch of the service with which
they are connected make out an
allotment from the retirement pay
to meet their GI insurance prem
iums.

Clean Up
Clutter
Car Now
By Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consultant
THE FAMILY CAR needs a
“housecleaning” this time of the
year.
Get rid of the debris under the
seat, in the trunk and on the
rear window ledge.
Clean out that small library
stuffed under the sun visor •—
receipts, bills, trading stamps...
And have you looked in the
glove compartment lately? Dis
card those old emery boards,
crumpled letters and torn, out-
of-date road maps. Replace these
* treasures” with necessary and
useful articles — cleaning fluid
and a clean rag or paper towel
for the windows, a windshield
scraper, flashlight, sunglasses
and your automobile registration.
In the trunk, throw out emer
gency gasoline containers unless
they arc an approved metal type,
painted red with a tight-fitting
cap, the youngsters’ torn boots,
broken sled and sweep out the
pine needles from last Winter’s
Cliristmas tree.
Put in gloves and a piece of
carpet for changing tires and
making small repairs, tire jack,
a bag of salt or sand for trac
tion on slick surfaces, tools for
changing tires. Borrow an idea
from experienced truck drivers,
and include one of those reflec
tors he sets out when he is
stopped by the side of the road.
You will be surprised, in most
cases there is lots of room for
all the important items—plus six
passengers.

FAMILY-STYLE RECREATION
In moving out of town many fami
lies are no longer in a position to
stroll over to the park, just a cou
ple of blocks away. However, that
problem is solved by packing a pic
nic lunch and heading for the near
est superhighway, which leads to
swimming or boating at a lake or
beach, or to a state recreation park
When summer heat bears down,
the last thing you may want to do
is cook, but for most of us it’s
unavoidable. The secret may be to
plan ahead.
Think cool when you plan a sum
mer menu. Summer appetites are
happier with lighter, low-calorie
foods that are refreshing. A melon
bowl, for example, is colorful and
delicious and as cool to prepare
A melon bowl is easy to make.
Start with half a watermelon.
Scoop out the melon with a ball-
shaped cutter until the melon is
hollowed. This hollow shell serves
as a bowl. Next scoop out balls
of cantaloupe and honeydew melon
and combine with watermelon
balls.
Clean some strawberries and
blueberries and peel and slice
some ripe peaches. If these fruits
are not real sweet, be sure to add
sugar to them before adding to
melon bowl. Chill fruit in refrige
rator until very cold. If you have
a large freezer, you can put the
shell in over-night. It will be shim
mering and frosted when you take
it out.
Fill the frosted shell with fruit
and garnish with mint. A little
