CONNECTICUT FAMILIES Connecticut families are being paid $13,379,120 in war risk insurance claims by Uncle Sam. He is making restitution to those whose sons and husbands died in the service of their country during the greatest war of all times. ~ There are 1588 insurance claims be- ing paid in Connecticut through the Bureau of War Risk Insurance io ben- Oflcilrlbi named® at the time appli cation for ‘insurance was made by soldiers, sailors and marines, now dead. The average policy carried by these 1588 men was $8,740. Disabled soldiers, as well as ‘'widows and children and dependent parents of thoee who have died, are being made comfortable by the government which is payving 804 compensation claims (o residents of Connecticut. In addition to the insurance compensation claims now being paid in Connecticut, there are 761 of both these classes of claims under investi- gation. These cases, however, are rapidly being adjusted following investigation by bureau representa- tives. which administers these affairs, has been established by the government as a permanent institution in recogni- tio nof the services veterans of the World War rendered their country. Records in the Bureau show that this has been a young mans war and a mother's war. More than 47 per cent. of the men who carried gov- ernment insurance made mothers their beneficiaries. Fathers were named by approximately 16 per cent. of the men. The average age of the men killed France was 23 vears. To July 1st there had been 1783s.- 145 checks mailed. If these were in a line, end for end. they.would extend 2,391 miles. During the first six months of 1919, there were more than 4,000,000 letters received by the Bu- reau. An army of correspondents ‘s needed to take care of the great daily inflow of letters from former men seeking information on all phases of War Risk Insurance. There are six permanent forms of government insurance, as follows: “20-year endowmen: 30-year endow- men; 20-payment I 30-payment H;e: endowment at age 62; ordinarv lite. Applications arc being received by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance for changing the present term insurance, which was issued at the time of en- tering the service, into the perma- nent forms. The government. in an effort to aid every man in keeping up his war risk insurance, has made us- ually liberal provisions covering re- instatement of insurance, where tne former service man has allowed :t teraporarily to lapse. In this way ev- ery bit of insurance which has been aliowed to lapse may be reinstated under the following provisions: A. The applicant must be god health as at the date of dis- charge. or at the date the insurance lapsed, if lapse occurred after dis- charge. and' must so state in the sign- lea_application for reinstatement. B. The application must be ac- companied by a remittance to pay the in in _as premium for the month of gmace dur- ing which protection was Iprovided after discharge. and for the first | month on the reinstated insurance. The features which prominently |stand out in the government policy are as foliows: The total permanent disability clause is granted without cost to the linsurea and it is free from all re- i strictions. not over- Government insurance does charge its policy holders any -head expense. It contains an extremely liberal def- | inition of disability It gives very substatial payments. It contains no age restrictions. it is unrestricted as to travel, idence or oceupation. Premiums paid in advance are re- {funded down to the month, in case of | death. The policy is non-taxable. Unusually liberal cash. loan. paid up ! insyrance and extended term insur- | ance values are included. It participates in dividends. 1f the policy holder is unable to |keep up the full amount of the War | Risk Insurance he carried while in the | service. he may reinstate part of it | from $1,000 up to $10,000 in multiples | of $500. | Reductions maye be made in multiples ‘of 500 to any amount, but not less than $1,000. Premiums are ue on the first of the month al- | though payments may be made any | time. | BARBERS WON'T JOIN SYMPATHETIC STRIKE Patrons of the Norwich barber shops Wwho had been contemplating a period jof unshaven discomfort if the barbers should join a sympathetic strike on | Dehait of the trolleymen were relieved this week to learn that the barbers' |union had voted against the sympa- thetic strike. - It is understood also that the car- penters’ union has voted against the sympathetic strike as proposed by the Central Labor Union. .
