C. Mrs. Queenie Walk.r, Mgr. Phone 669-5951 ins in Black Mountain was present last week for the an nual Knvanis Club Ladies’ Nutht. Harry Hyder, retir ing: president, and the pro gram committee, had guests hanging from the rafters. Harry has done an outstand. 'ng job during the past year as president of the Kiwan ians, as shown by the huge crowd which turned out to tell him goodbye and to greet the incoming head man, R°y D. Gravener. As further evidence of the high esteem with which the local club is held by district and state officials, Donald Quarles was installed at the meeting as lieutenant gover nor of Division 1, Carolinas District. “God Save The Queem” Each time I attend the Kiwanis Club and hear them sing “God Save the Queen” I am reminded of my stay in England and the British Isles, Scotland, Wales, and North Ireland. Maybe they don’t do it ex cept in time of war but be fore each movie or the start of any public meeting, stage show, or athletic event the British would rise for the playing and singing of their national anthem. It was very impressive One young Britisher almost caused a riot one night when during a heavy air raid he ended the song with “God save mommie and pappie and to heck with the king.” His mother and father were thunderstruck and apologized long and loud but the young boy didn’t seem to bp im pressed. He never did to me and I doubt if he ever did to anyone. It wasn’t disre spect that caused him to do it but—who can tell what a 14 year old boy will do or say in any situation? You can? Then go to the bead of the class. ..mm.mi.. Veterans News 'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitinniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii All veterans of World War II who have National Service Life Insurance today are urg ed by J. D. DeRamus, Region al Manager of the Veterans Administratioh at Winston Salem, to check the bene ficiaries of their policies to determine if the right person, or persons, are designated to receive, or share in the in surance. Any change in family stat us, DeRamus pointed out, may require a change in benefici ary. DeRamus said “the matter should be given immediate at tention by the veteran. For example, if a veteran mar ries, he may want to desig nate his wife as beneficiary, rather than his parents; if a veteran’s wife dies, he may want to name a child as bene ficiary, or a parent.” DeRamus pointed out the law requires the VA to pay the insurance claim to the person or persons listed as the beneficiary. Any veteran may change his beneficiary by advising the Veterans Ad ministration in writing; the letter should be addressed to the VA office to which the insurance premium is sent.

In reporting this, J. D. De Ramus, Manager, North Caro lina VA Regional Office, said payments to all of the 4,725, 000 veterans participating in the dividend would be com pleted in record time—by January 25. The President, on Decem ber 8, ordered the accelerat ed payments as a stimulant to the economy. In the first speed payment of a dividend, ordered by President Kennedy in 1961, payments were completed by March 17. The stepped-up payment of the 1963 dividend was completed last January 31. The VA plan to issue the 1964 dividend checks by next January 25 will cut a week from the previous re cord processing time of 31 days in 1963. The dividend payments in 1962, and in the years prior to 1961 were made through out the entire year in the an niversary dates of the indi vidual insurance policies. Of the total distribution of $234-million, $15-million 'will go to about 225,000 World War I veterans hold ing U. S. Government Life Insurance (USGLI) policies. The remaining $219-mil lion will go to 4,500,000 World War II veterans who hold National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) policies, DeRamus said. The VA estimates that 92, 454 veterans in the state of North Carolina will receive dividends amounting to $4, 586,700. Korean conflict veterans hold non-participating policies that do not provide regular annual dividend payments. The regular dividends are primarily a return to the policyholders of part of their premium payments since the death rate among GI policy holders continues to be lower than the rate upon which the payments were established by law. DeRamus reminded policy holders that the preparing and mailing of dividend pay ments are automatic and re quire no correspondence from veterans or their families. In fact, such correspond ence might delay the dividend distribution process, he said. became eventually the first of the great Mogul emporers.
