The Post has appointed the following committee to assist all ex-service men in executing their papers: chairman, Arthur C. Gedges, 543 Lincoln avenue, Harold D. Hill, Robert F. Doepel, and Marcus D. Richards. WinNETKA TALK is asked to print the following statement on war risk in- surance from the United States Veter- ans Bureau: Adapted to Peace Time "From the number of conversions of war time insurance that are com- ing into the Veterans' Bureau daily, it is evident that the ex-service men are keenly alive to the advantages of this class of insurance. The proposition of life insurance has been approved in principle by the best minds of every civilized country in the world, but it remained for America to develop a particular kind of policy which could maintain its war-time economical features and still be adaptable to peace time conditions. "Policies of this character, six in number, have been prepared by the actuaries of the Veterans' Bureau, keeping always in mind the need for making such policies as economical a 'buy' as possible for the benefit of the veterans for whom they are issued. Can Reinstate "Under the liberal legislation gov- erning the reinstatement and conver- sion of the original "war time" insur- ance, thousands of veterans who had given up their insurance as lost to them forever on account of lapsation, are now getting in 'under the wire' before the last call, July 2, 1926, and the Insurance Division of the Bureau reports 11,547 applications for conver- sion alone, received during January and February. Of these applications, 9,632 have already been approved. "Every ex-service man of this neighborhood should get in touch with the officers of the American Legion Posts at once and they will gladly assist him in the preparation of the forms for reinstatement and con- version of his war risk insurance. Pay Within 2 Hours "In connection with this insurance, the Bureau has recently made a re- markable record in paying a con- verted insurance claim within 2 hours of the death of the insured. The case was that of Michael F. Curran who died at 5 p. m. on the 21st of the month, and the beneficiaries, his daughters, the Misses Marguerite and Eleanor Curran of Boston, received their checks in full payment of their claims before close of business at 4:30 p. m. the next day. With the necessary proof in a claim presented to the Bureau, in proper form, pay- ment can be almost unbelievably ex- pedited, in the case of these insurance policies." ADMISSION--ONE BOOK "One book" is the price of admission to the monthly meeting of the North Shore chapter of the Alumnae associ- ation of -the National Kindergarten and Elementary college, to be held at 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, April 19, in Harrison hall.
