Three Are Hostesses For
Parties At Woman's Club
#
Two delightful social events of
the week were the bridge parties
given Wednesday night and Thur
sday afternoon by Mrs. D. A.
Blanton, Mrs. J. C. Hedden and
Mrs. W. D. Kerns. .
The parties were held in the
Woman's Club which was artis
tically decorated for the events
with an accent 'on orange and
the Thanksgiving theme.
On the table In the foyer was
a clever arrangement of autumn
leaves, fruits, squash and a color
ful china rooster. The focal point
of interest in the lounge.was the
mantel and fire place. Across
each end of the .mantle were can
dles in graduated lengths, against
a background of magnolia leaves
and oranges. The glow from the
electric logs in the firplace, the
ole sewing box filled with corn,
and fruits, the Thanksgiving ar
rangement on the desk, with the
colorful dish gardens on the
small tables made an interesting
setting for the parties. On both
occassions, tables were appointed
for refreshments and when
guests had assembled the hostes
ses were assisted in serving'!
molded ice cream, cake squares,
nuts and coffee. Each table was
laid with a maderia cloth cen- ;
tered with an orange holding a
minature spray of ? berries, the
turkey tallies were placed around .
the orange making a very sea* |
sonal and interesting combina
tion..
The first party was given Wed
nesday night when guests were |
Invited for ten tables. Contract
bridge was the game In play and
at the end of four progressions,

On Thursday afternoon the

tract bridge and rook were play

Insurance Offer
Made Veterans
Thousands of World War II
veterans are losing their right tp
millions of dollars of government
Insurance -very day, George C.
Warlick of the Gastonia VA Of
fice stated today. These veterans
took out insurance In late 1941
and 1947, their policies running
for 8 or 5-year terms. Hundreds
of thousands of other veterans
who took out government life in
surance in 1945 and 1948 stand to
lose many billions of dollars of
this insurance during the next
thirteen months unless they take
steps to preserve it. These are
veterans who allowed their poli
cies to lapse and which will ex
pire at end of present term.
; Mr. Warlick explained that
government insurance written
through December 31, 1945 was
for 8 years and that written after
this date was for 5 years. In e
vent an 8 or 5-year policy expires
I without being . renewed Tor ano
ther 5 years or else converted to
a permanent form before expira
ion, the insurance will be lost
forever. Policies that have been
allowed to lapse 'must be reinstate
ed before they may be renewed or
converted to permanent insur
ance. Usually a policy lapsed less
than 90 days may be reinstated
without physical examination,
whereas II the Jlapsed period ex
ceeds 90 days an examination-will
be necessary. Term policies may
be reinstated upon payment of
only two months premiums.
Insurance offers many young
veterans their only opportunity
to insure protection of their de
pendents in case of death and
Mr. VVarllck urges that veterans
give serious consideration to re
instating and renewing their
term insurance while there Is
time to do so. The facilities of
his office are available to all
veterans, their dependents and
beneficiaries in matters arising
from service in the armed forces.
The Gastonia VA Office is located
at 205 West Main Avenue.
