Veterans Urged To Follow Plan To Get l insurance Dividends \ Service Officer and Vet - Groups Glad to Ren w der Assistance * Here are the most important things for World War II veterans to re member when applying for their National Service Life Insurance divi- V dend, according to J. M. Caldwell, •' director of the N. C. Veterans Com mission. No. I—Wait until August 29 be fore doing anything. No 2—Fill out and sign a divi dend application form from one of the offices of the local County Vete- U rans Service Officers or from any lo r cal veterans organization or any post office. No. 3—Read the first section of the form, which is devoted to instruct e ions, and decide whether the proced ure is understood. If not, ask the County Service Officer or voluneer veterans service worker for help in filling it out correctly. (This will mean more prompt action on the part of the VA, and quicker monetary re turn to the veteran.) No. 4—When filling out the form, be as neat as possible, especially in name spelling and address listing. Be sure to list an address at which mail can be received for the six-month period folowing the date of applica tion. No. s—ls5 —If the veteran does not remember his policy number, which is requested on the blank, don’t wor ry about it. The VA wants those i numbers for ready reference, but they are not essential. There is also a blank space for veterans to write in their “claim numbers,” if any. If a veteran has been issued such a num , ber, the Service Officer will have it ) in that vet’s records. If none was issued, fprget it. The VA has the name, rank and serial number of every eligible veteran. No. 6—Once the application is in the mail, don’t worry about how soon payment will be made, and don’t use the anticipated amount as a promis sory note for personal debts. The VA will have about 17,000,000 veterans’ records to check, so individual cor respondence will only delay your divi dend. Beneficiaries of deceased veterans who are entitled to a share of the re fund need not bother with the form. , They will be mailed a check by the VA. Veterans may clip out this article to serve, as a guide in applying for the dividends. Do not clip represented forms from newspapers and submit them, however, only the government printed cardboard forms will be ac cepted and processed. The local County Service Office and the District Service Offices o? the N. C. Veterans Commission will be glad to aid veterans in filing for the NSLI refund, and so will post officers of all the veterans organi zations or their representatives.'

It is generally agreed that com parer with trnhe training period at Fort Bragg last year, this schedule of activities has been accomplished more easily and with less strain on the men. The City of Columbia, South Caro lina, six miles away with its many air canditioned restaurants and theatres and points of interest, is the mecca for all Guardsmen off duty after 5 o’clock in the evening. You can imagine the picture with 13,000 or a good portion of them, throng ing the streets.
