OSKISON Nine out of ten men who took out gov- ernment war insurance are allowing it to lapse—so says an investigator of the Amer- ican Legion. 1 believe I know why. While I was in the army I carried a policy for $10,000, the sual amount written for our officers and sol- | diers. Every month, as I made out my pay voucher, I merely set down the amount of ee gd premium to be deducted from e total. While in the army it was easy to make the premium payments. Now it is different. There comes to me no reminder that I must pay my monthly premium. As a matter of | fact, have not paid one, altho at the time of my discharge I said that 1 would keep my wat insurance. | My experience is typical. At the time I was persuaded to take my policy the gov- ernment instructed all commanding officers to make a very pipe | campaign to induce 100 per cent of the officers and soldiers to take policies up to the $10,000 limit. During my service, thru the plan of | deduction of premiums from pay, it was rfectly easy to keep up the payments. and all the other fellows had adjusted our affairs so that this monthly deduction would not interfere with our arrangements for looking after our families and private af- fairs. At the time I took my insurance the gov- ernment explained fully that it would con- tinue the policy for five years after the war ended at the rates established, and would! due? my liey. day ment. think of it.
