' VOLUME XXIV SERVICE MEN MAY REIN STATE POLICIES WITHOUT Examination If Within Period Ending December 31st But Two Monthly Payments Still Necessary. A series of decisions issued by the Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury provides more liberal conditions for reinstate ment of lapsed or canceled insurance. The provisions of Treasury Decision No. 47," allowing eighteen months from the date of discharge for reinstate ment upon payment of only two months' premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, are retain ed. The decision is liberalized, how ever, by a new provision that men out of the service are permitted to rein state by merely paying the two months' premiums without making a statement as to "health at any time within three calendar months follow ing the month of discharged. After the three months following the date of discharge have elapsed, a statement from the applicant to the effect that he is in as good health as at the date of his discharge or at the expiration of the grace period, which ever is the later date, will be required together with a written application for reinstatement and the tender of two months premiums on the amount of insurance he wishes to reinstate. m oraer to give an wrmer servic 'men whose insurance has lapsed or j been canceled, a fair chance to rein state their insurance, including men who have been out of the service eighteen months or more, and who are therefore barred 'from reinstatement under the former ruling, a special blanket ruling is made which allows all ex-service. men to reinstate their in surance before December 31, 1919, provided that each applicant is in as good health as at date of discharge or at expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and soL states in his application,.

Warrenton, Hawtree, Nbrlina, Ridge way, Macon, Vaughan and upper Nut bush indicate that the drive has been well conducted. The activity of the colored schools is highly gratifying to the committee. r . In Warrenton the campaign has been managed with interest and enthusiasm by Mrs. Kate P. Ar rington as chairman. Booths we're run successfully in each drug store and personal canvassing done by Mrs. Ar rington, Mrs. Thomas H. Williams, Mrs. W. D. Rodgers, Jr., Mrs. H. F. Jones, Mrs. J. A. Hornaday; Mrs. V. F. Ward, Mrs. V. D. Alston, Mrs. M. C. McGuire, Miss Dora B. Beck, and others. The results would now indicate that the whole time public health nurse for which the committees worked may be procured. This worker will devote her entire time to the public health of Warren.

Number 90 ffiEPlEET-liiiXPEOIEl SERVICE MEN TO ANSWER CALL OF LIMER POST 25 Organization Will Be Main Pur pose of Executive Committee; Purposes of the Legion To Be Given the Assembled Men. The Executive Committee of the Legion is expecting a large' number of f ormer service men to come to Warrenton J Monday for a real get together meeting. They are bas ing their; hopes upon the fact that the appeal is for organization of a 100 percent American association and the belief that the., men who fought for the country or-evidenced the willing ness to fight will also manifest an in terest in the peace time program. The Legion is already a factor in America's life which is manifesting an influence for public welfare in thi3 country. A glance at the summary of activity which is afforded by the daily press will convince those inclin ed to be skeptical. It is not a politi cal unit to forward the ambitions of any man but is an institution to pre serve and foster the true American principles of right, honor, justice which all men recognize asbasic with- , out regard to party or creed. It has , the opportunity, and with the person nel of men entitled to membeship no one doubts that it will be exercised of freeing this country from the radical ism "already manifest and of shaping the future in'r a spirit of true repre- J sentative democracy and virile, ener getic action for the good of all. The fact that it is to be composed m the main of men who were civilians before, the great war assure that its purposes will not be tarnished by mil itarism or its record splotched by any thought of advantage to its member ship afforded thru the power of organ ization. . It is the appeal which it presents as a means of service to America withT out any appreciable sacrifice which leads the local executive committee to expect a good attendance at the meet ing : on the 17th Indications would appoint that the faith is well founded and that a , representative, interested and patriotic group will rally in re sponse tof tho . call not to arms but to service thru influence. WISE ITEMS. On Armistice 'Day a thanksgiving service was held at the Wise High -School. Patriotic songs were sung, and Rev. E. W. Baxter of Warrenton delivered a very able, helpful and al together interesting address. Judg ing from the careful attention given to him both by the school children and "by the others present, Mr. Bax ter's address made a deep impression. Miss Rankin gave a demonstration in decorative cake icing on Thursday Nov. 6, at the schoolhouse before the Betterment Association and some of the High School pupils. There were about thirty present.' The members of Sharon Church ?re lined up to go over the top in their quota of the seventy-five mil lion dollar campaign. Mr. C. W. Perkinson is Campaign director. All final reports in Hawtree for the Third Red Cross Roll Call are not in, tut at the present writing the mem bership numbers about 150." The first white person in this township to enroll for 1920 was Miss Mary Per kinson, and the first colored person was Clarence B. Harris. Mr. King and Mrs. Perkinson wisu to thank all those who have assisted them in their task for the Red Cross, especially grateful are they to the fol lowing: Miss Malissa Hicks, Mrs. C. W. Cole, Mr. H. L. Jobe, Mrs. Ben Newell, Mrs. W. W. Cawthome, Miss Lena White, Mrs. M. H. Hayes, Mrs. W. M. Rochelle, of Wise, and Mrs. J. D. Newell, of Oakville. MRS. A. W. HICKS DEAD We regret to announce the death of this good lady who passed away at her home near Warrenton on Monday morning, November 10th. Mrs. Hicks leaves a husband and nine children who mourn her death. She was ten derly laid to rest in Norlina cemetery Tuesday afternoon in the presence of many sorrowing friends, Rev. E. R.
