Civilization in this modem world has reached a

front the federal government. On the other hand there
is no question but wiiat the federal government has m
some instances exceeded the limits required for good lo

Wekl now. this makes some sense. But it is just about
the tallest order we’ve heard of in a mighty long time.
Let die General Assembly and. the Governor, and
/the commissioners- and their state associations consider
die idea as thoroughly as they will. But before they car
ry their aopeal, to the federal government they will have
to be afelie *0-give some mighty positive assurance that
they have a new way of raising, or making un-necessary

Gi imuraitca policies
needn't be turned in
when leans are tekett?
Veterans holding permanent
GI life insurance policies need
eat surrender them for cash in
order to meet financial emerg
encies
X D. DeRamus, Manager of
the VA Regional Office, Winst
on-Salem, Chid these veterans
Http borrow up to M Per cent
of their policies’ cash surrender
value. This action, while reduc
ing the amount of protection,
does leave the policy in force.
Ones surrendered for cash,
however, all protection under
the insurance would cease and
could not be renewed nor rein
stated, Mr. DeRamus said, Mon
ey borrowed and not repaid
would be dfeducted from the pol
icy proceeds due the beneficiary
should the veteran die.
Annual interest on GI policy
loans is charged at four per
cent on the unpaid balance and
must be paid for on or before
the due date, Mr. DeRamus
warned. If not paid, it is added
to the loan principal and begins
to draw interest; should this
condition continue, the interest
might eart up the remaining
cash value of the policy.
Repayment of the principal on
the loan may be made in a
mounts of $5 or any multiple
thereof and at any time before
default in payment of premiums.
Loans can be made only on
permanent - type GI insurance
policies. GI teem insurance has
no loan value, Mr. DeRamus ex
plained.
