NEWS FOR VETERANS
Approximately 16.500 World
W ar II veterans living in Virginia,
Maryland, Ncrth Carolina, West
Virginia and the District of Co
lumbia reinstated more than $107,
000,000 in lapsed G. I. Insurance
policies between July 23 and Aug
ust 18, the Veterans Administra
tion said today.
The big rush to get lapsed pol
icies back in force was attributed
to the July 31 deadline for easy
reinstatement. Prior to that date,
most veterans could reinstate
"idle" policies by .paying two
montly premiums and submitting |
a simple health statement. Those,
whose policies have lapsed less
than three months may still re
instate by the method, but other?
are required to ta^e a physical i
examination.
Veterans who' find it necessary
to write to the Vj.cr-ns Adminis
tration rre urged to provide full
information about themselves in
order to "help the VA yive better
service."
In writing to the Veterans Ad
ministration, VA officials caution
ed ex-servicemen, "give your full
name and present address . . . and
Farmers Are Advised

week.
F re hazards increase during
write plainly. If you have a claim
or insurance nuVnber, write it

ways to avoid unnecessary delay
and disappointments."
