Liberalised insurance benefits be
available to veterans with
to the National Life
Act.
Until Jararr 1, |M*h ?
way reinstate lapsed National Ser
vice Life Insurance simply by paying
two month*. back premiums and
signing a statement tha* his health
to as geed as it was when his pre
mium was dne- After that date a
physical examination wiH be neeee
sa ry in meet caaes.
The new amendments make NSLI
move attractive to vateiaiui in peace
time. Besides providing for lump earn
payments to beneficiaries, the a
mendments also create endowment
types.of policies, permit the naming
of beneficiaries outside the restricted
classes included in the original hill,
and otter total diaahility benefits
which iwpmeaot previously included.
Veteran policyholders are sending
premium payments to New York at
present, but accounts for this area
are being transferred to VA's Rich
mond branch, office in a move for
more efficient servient Policyhold
ers should continue to send payments
to New York until they < receive in
dividual notice of the changa of ad
dress.
"Veterans now holding term in
surance policies need feel -no com
pulsion," said Insurance Officer E.
C. Bailey of the Veterans Admbri
tration, "to convert their policies im
mediately to permanent types. Term
policies issued before January 1,1946,
may be osMtimrd for eight yearn
without change from the date they
were issued and policies issued
Dec. 81, 1946, are good fbr five
wtihout the necessity of converting
to any of the more permanent types
of insurance."
As originally issued,- the perman
ent policies provided in NSLI were:
ordinary life, an which the policy
holder pays for as long as he Uvea
at a level premium. 20-pUyment Kfte,
and 30-payment life. In. addition to
these types of policies the amend
ments provide for 20-year endow
ment policies, endowment at age of
60 and endowment at age 66. On all
of these endowment policies the pre
miums must be paid for tha indi
cated length of time, at the expira
tion of which the face of the policy
may be paid, to the veteran. Those
veterans wfcp hare converted their
term insurance to one of the pre
viously authorized plana are permit
ted under the amendments to change
to one at toe endowment plans if they
wish.
All restrictions oa tne cnotce or
beneficiaries have. been removed.
Formerly the insured was permitted
only to designate beneficiaries wRo
i'near relative*. 1
11m only method of settlement
previously provided was monthly in
come or annuity payments which
were provided for a guaranteed pe
riod of 120 months or as a refund I
life income, paid in equal monthly
installments with the guarantee that
the face of the policy will be repaid.
These forms of payment are still a
vaflabte.
A new feature

payments are five i

commended Dr, Mawhoni, for his in- I
terest in the project and for prelim

After pointing oat that Farmville
must provide additional parking

Dr. Mewbom listed .vacant lots

Next, came a discussion on finan
cing the project, an important point
in every- lindatoalfing. Dr. Mewbom
expressed the opinion, and others
agreed with hkn, that. , the fund*
should be tdken from the town's ad
vertising service. Since a majority of
toe town's advertising committee
was present, an impromptu meeting
was held and the group adopted *
motion of R,'D. Rouse that t maxi
mum of fSOO be ear-marked fog this
work. Lewis Allen offered, to sell ce
dar pciats f^r what they cost him,
and X N. Fountain added that he
would furnish poets, art the same
basis, if Allen did pet have enough.
Actual work of the project, wtil be
under the direction of the town's
police department, and Mayor Joy

operate in every waiy possible toward
completing the work. He added that
it was impossible for the town,
short-handed as it is,'to accomplish
tola project without additional help.
Just as toe hour-long meeting was
breaking up, Rome cited the need for
finding a way to open the hotel din
