They are associated with Biela’s comet which disappeared in the first half of the 19th century.

More than 250,000 post-Korea veterans have taken out the spec ial term insurance available to them upon separation from active military service, VA said. To these new policies, the fol lowing three points of advice were offered: First, get into the habit of pay ing all premiums when they are due. Although the law allows a "grace period” of 31 days during which the policy remains in effect even if a premium due is not paid, veterans should consider this pro vision an emergency measure and reserve it for an emergency. Second, do not send cash through the mails in paying premiums, but use a check or money order made payable to the Veterans Adminis tration. Your canceled check 01 money order stub will serve as a receipt. Third, be sure to name your ben eficiaries and have this informa tion recorded by VA.

Q—I hold a permanent GI insur ance policy. Since it has been in Jorce for more than one year, I have the right to borrow money on it. How much can I borrow? A—You may borrow an amount that does not exceed 94 percent of the reserve of your permanent GI policy. Q—I am drawing a VA pension, and I have just received a legacy that will push my yearly income above the maximum allowed by the law. Am I supposed to inform the VA about it? A—Yes. You should notify the VA immediately, so that your pen sion payments can be stopped. Failure to inform VA of your ad ded income will result in an over payment of pension that you may have to pay back to the Govern ment.

Lenders who do not have the forms may get them from their nearest VA Regional office. 1954 ACCIDENT FACTS RALEIGH. — The Motor Vehi :les Department says there were 10,449 reported traffic accidents in ;he state last year.
