The first checks were out over the week-end, big bundles of them sent to _post- offices all over the country. Men with the lowest serial numbers get theirs first. Some of the checks run as high as $528, some as low as 90 cents. The average is $125. The windfall results from a surplus of money collected by the Veterans Administration on GI life insurance. The premium were far in excess of the amount needed to pay claims, which ran much lower than originally ex- pected. If al goes well, will soon be flooding the post- offices at the rate of one millior a week. They add up to the tidy sum of $2,800,000. mailed the GI check Wayne Connor Pays Visit To Masonic District M. W.
