Legion News "A Thought For the Living" The best insurance nest egg a World War service man can hold is the Adjusted Compensation certificate presented to him by the United State government. Three and one-half million World War veterans have obtained Adjusted Compensation Certificates--the Gov- ernment's free insurance policies. They pay no premiums on them. But the face value of most Adjusted Compensation Certificates is compara- tively low. For the average service man, the Adjusted Compensation certificate is an insufficient protection against the future to himself and his family. If he realizes his responsibilities toward those dependent upon him, he most certainly will add to his Adjusted Compensation certificate--his insur- ance nest egg--additional insurance sufficient to keep his wife and his chil- dren or other dependents from suffer- ing should he die or become incapable of supporting them. No insurance obtainable anywhere is better than that which Uncle Sam will continue to offer to the World War veterans until July 2, 1927. Uucle Sam gives the service man his choice of seven forms of policies, each of them having the same advantages as corresponding policies offered by private companies but costing much less in premiums than the policies offered by private companies. The man who does not need insur- ance is rare indeed. The man who persuades himself that he does not need it today probably will repent of his folly in later years when he has to buy insurance at the greatly in- creased premium rates called for by his added age. While there is still time left to obtain a government in- surance policy, therefore, the unin- sured World War veteran should make his decision. He should ask him- self these four questions: "In case of my death, what will take the place of me present income, so that my wife and children or other dependents may not suffer?" "What sum of insurance would pro- vide my wife and children with an in- come sufficient to meet their needs, bearing in mind that investments at present are yielding low returns?" "Although my present income en- ables me to provide for myself and those dependent upon me, how can I best make provision for myself and my family when I have passed the period of my present employability, say by the time I am sixty?" "What can I do to protect myself and my family against the possibility of my becoming wholly disabled by accident or sickness?" Remember that July 2, 1927, is the last day on which a veteran can get a government insurance policy. If he will be honest with himself no World War Veteran will put off a moment longer the job of reinstating his gov- ernment insurance. --American Legion Monthly laundry.
