V. A. Assisting In
Veteran Insurance
Thousnde of letters are being
sent by the Veterans Administra
tion to National Service Life In
surance policyholders in North
Carolina to make certain that ac
counts are in proper order, the
North Wilkesboro Contact Office
of VA said today.
Veterans receiving the letters
are those whose insurance rec
ords indicate that their policies
have lapsed -because they failed
to make premium payments regu
larly. In some instances, al
though payments have actually
been made toy veterans, VA has
been unable to give proper credit
for various reasons.
The letter toeing sent to those
veterans says, in part: "Without
. regard to what records of the
Veterans Administration present
ly indicate, your policy is not
lapsed if you have remitted prem
iums regularly."
Veterans who believe VA's ree
ord of their accounts is in error
are asked to furnish the Rich
mond Branch Office of VA with
?:es and amounts of remlttano
together with other pertinent
ormation.
North Carolina veterans should
address their replies to: Insur
ance Service, Collections Unit,
Veterans Administration, 90#
North Lombardy Street, Rich
mond, Virginia.
Reverse side of the new VA
notification letter contains an ap
plication i>lank for reinstatement
of lapsed NSLI policies.
The VA office stressed the
need for sufficient identification,
which must accompany all prem
ium remittances, to assure cred
iting of the proper account.

RED CROSS SETS $60,000,000
?n
GOAL FOR 1947 TO CARRY OR
.'Wl
v .
WOM HERE AJB OVERSEAS
Washington. D. C.?On March
1 the American Red Cross
through 2,500,000 to 3,000,000
?olnnteer workers will ask the
public to subscribe $60,000,000
to ?rry on. its far-reaching pro
gram for the next fiscal year
1947-48.
In making the goal announce
ment, Red Cross Ghlarman Basil
O'Connor said that Harry D. Gib
son of New York City, who head
ed last year's campaign, has ac
cepted the fund chairmanship
again this yoar. Nationally known
as a philanthropist and financier,
Mr. Gibson served with distinc
tion overseas as Red Cross Com
missioner in Western Europe
and Great Britain for three years
from 1942 to 1945.
Pointing out the continuing
need for Red Cross- services to
veterans and servicemen, 'Mr.
O'Connor said:
"Never in time of peace has
the American Red Cross been
called upon to render such ex
tensive services to the military
forces at home and abroad and
tov veterans as are now required.
"Approximately 75 per cent of
Red Cross funds are etlll spent
in war-related services at home
and overseas. We still iharve more
than 2,900 workers serving out
side of the United States. As our
work In army and navy hospitals
and other Installations gradually
decrease during the next few
years work with veterans and
their families will increase."
The 1947 goal of $60,000,000
was set after a careful survey
which pared the 1947-46 (budget
to the minimum consistent with
responsibilities of the organisa
tion.
At the present time, the chair
man emphasized, more than 1,0,
000 Home Service workers are
employed in chapters, supple
mented by 19,000 volunteers in
this service alone. These workers
are serving men in uniform and
veterans and their families.
Added to this, Mr. O'Connor j
pointed out, Is the work of the
Red Cross in supplying warm
clothing and milk for children
and medicines tot the sick in
battlescarred areas, and, a t
home, the provision of surplus
blood plasma for civilians, and
the courses in home nursing,
nutrition, first aid, water safety,
and accident prevention.
Atlanta.?Hundreds of South
eastern consumers continue to
cause themselves unnecessary de
lay In receipt of new sugar ra
tion coupons toy sending appli
cations Incorrectly addressed, A.
D. Simpson, Regional Sugar Ex
ecutive, said today.
Simpson pointed out that the
correct address of the sugar Is

and signed, should ibe mailed
only to that address. The North
Carolina office is In Capital Club

Remember the old story? Where the teacher said:
"Jimmy, how would you divide three apples among fo
people?" And Jimmy answered: "Make apple sauce!'
We wish Jimmy could solve our problem that easily
We've done our best to keep production up and
prices down . . . delivering thousands of 1946 Fords.
But we still have unfilled orders for over
a million more.
You know the reason for the lag in filling
those orders ... the labor shortages, the material
shortages, and all those other hitches in getting
back to normal.
?y
That doesn't leave us many apples to divide.
And as fair and square as we try to be, we just
can't make apple sauce from automobiles. But what
we can do is tell you what a great Ford you've
got coming up ill your future.
And while you're waiting, one other thing we
can do is urge you to let us keep an eye on your
present Ford to protect your safety, comfort and
investment
