Special National Service
Life Insurance Dividend To
Be Paid 16 Million Veterans
Payment of . a $2,800,000,000
special National Service Ufe in
surance dividend on approxi
mately 20,000,000 policies has
been announced by the Veterans
Administration. ,
About 16,000,000 veterans who
took out insurance during World
War II will be eligible to receive'
the dividend. Amounts Individual
veterans will receive are not yet
known, as individual calculations
have not been completed.
( It is hoped distribution of the
checks will be started sometime
in January, 1950, and be substan
tially completed during the iirst
half of 1950, the . VA said. .
Generally, every veteran who
todk out NSLI and kept It in
force for three months or more
will be eligible for the dividend.
In cases where policyholders
have died, the beneficiary of the
policy, if the insurance was in
force," or to those shown to be
entitled in case the insurance
was lapsed, will receive the pay
ment The VA urges veterans not to
write about their dividends, be
cause letters will only cause pay
ment to be delayed. Special ap
plication blanks are now being
prepared and it is hoped they can
be printed in time to be available
sometime in August in every .post
office, veterans service organiza
tion and VA officers.
The Jorm is a 3-fold card upon
which the veteran writes his full
name, service number, insurance
policy numbers and his address.
He retains one-third of the card
which contains instructions, and
mails the other two parts to the
VA, where the application part
,of the card is separated and the
return acknowledgement portion
mailed back to the veteran to in
form him that VA has received
the aoDlication. This makes anv
letter writing completely unneces
sary on the part of the veteran. .
Cutoff date for payment of the
dividend is the anniversary date
of the policy during 1948. The
special dividend, will not be paid
on policies issued after January 1,
1948, though such policies may
participate in some later dividend
distribution.
Nearly 20,000,000 policies, were
issued to , more than 16,500,000
members of the armed forces,
some veterans having two or
more policies. Currently there are
(,zia,uu i policies in force, with a
face value of $41,552,000,900. . .'
Zoo Animals ;
Slaughtered To
Check Epidemic
ROME, July 7. UP Sad at
tendants yesterday began slauglr
tering giraffes, antelopes, cam
els, buffalo and hippos to halt
the- spread of a mysterious di
sease in Rome's Zoo.
Dr. Carlo Reeti, zoo veterinar
ian, said the slaughtering would
be .completed within two days.
All -of the zoo's 120 animals of
the cud-chewing (ruminant) and
true swine families -are to.be
destroyed. '
Reeti said every possible pre
caution had been taken' to pre
vent the disease from ' spread
ing to Italy's cattle.
It is believed the outbreak re
sulted from the inclusion of an
infected animal in a recent ship
ment to the zoo. The death of
several antelopes a month ago
gave the first hint of the epi
demic. . The zoo has been closed
since then.

Model Businessman Role Pays Off
With Motor Scooter, 'Swell Time1
For Star Carrier Of News-Review

TOP CARRIER BOY on the News-Review staff is David LeBlou,
pictured above with the motor scooter he bought from money
earned during his two years delivering papers. The News-Review
awarded David a week at the annual Beaver Boys' State in Cor
vallis for his success as a paper boy during the past year. And
as a motor-mounted carrier, he will no longer have to worry
about the steep hills on his N. Jackson St. route.
It pavs to be a model business
man. David LeBleu, 16-year-old
News-Review carrier was sure of
that fact a few weeks ago when
he was acclaimed outstanding
carrier boy by Fuller Johnson,
circulation manager.
Under the "Little Merchants
Plan" followed by the News-Review
circulation department, car
riers are trained to be prompt in
turning in collections, keep their
own books and. records, and aim
for complete coverage of their
paper routes. According to John
son, young LeBleu has set the
pace for his 34 fellow newsboys
during his two years with the
News-Review.
Two weeks ago these business
like qualities paid off for David
in the form of an expense-free
trip to Beaver Boys' State at Ore
gon State College. For a week,
David was a part of the gather
ing and helped formulate the
group's city, cuunly, and state
governments. Seven full days
included calisthenics and sports,
room inspections, classes in civic
government and, of course,
plenty of good food. And on two
of the nightly assemblies, David
heard talks by Governor Douglas
McKay and Secretary of Stale
Earl Newbry,
'Swell Time' Reported
When asked his opinion of the
yearly training sessions, David
grinned happily and replied,
"Fine. I think everybody had a
swell time."
Back on the Job as carrier boy
last Tuesday, David showed up
with a motor scooter instead of
the usual bicycle. He proudly
admitted the scooter was his,
"bought and paid for" out of
money he had saved from deliver
ing papers. He had "Just de-
