Ruth Takes Miami Rest NEW YORK — (AP) — Babe Ruth, recovering steadily from a long illness and serious operation, will fly to Miami, Fla., next Tues day to fish and rest for two weeks. He will be accompanied by his wife, his nurse, Miss Sonya Oliker, and a friend, Raymond F. Kil'thau, at whose home the former baseball star will stay in Miami. Miss Oliker said Ruth received permission for the trip from his physicians, who instructed him to spend much of the time out of doors but to avoid crowds. She said the erstwhile “home run king” was “considerably perked up” by the doctor’s decision and that he planned to do a lot of fish ing, which ranks second only to golf among his favorite hobbies.

Vets Forum There are three worries that plague every man. One is the fear that he will not live long enough to see that his family is cared for. Ordinary life insurance is recognized as the answer to this worry. Another fear is that he will live “too long" and not have enough to live on. An I endowment policy can provide for I old age. i The third and perhaps the most \ frightening fear is that he might become disabled so that he can no longer work. The government has also pro j vided for that last contingency in 1 two ways in National Service Life Insurance. The first is a part of i every policy without extra charge to the veteran, known as the pre mium waiver clause. It provides ! that if you become totally disabled I continuously for a six months’ j perior or longer, future premiums | will be paid by the government. No lien will be made against the policy because of premiums waived. In addition, any premium payments mt.de after the estab lished date of disability are re funded. It is important to remember that total disability as applicable to this clause, is not necessarily the same as that for pension and compensation purposes. For in surance purposes, total disability is defined as any impairment of the mind or body which continu ously renders it impossible for the insured to follow any substantially gainful occupation. Another clause, known as in surance disability income, may be added to your policy for a small extra premium. A physical exami nation is required to establish evi- , deuce of good health. This rider 1 provides that should you become I totally and continuously disabled . for a period of six months or more, an income of $5 per month per SI,000 of insurance will be paid beginning with the first day of the seventh month and con tinuing as long as the disability exists. Both disability features are effective until your 60th birthday, but if disability begins before reaching your 60th birthday, the government will not discontinue the benefits for that reason. Any veteran who has estab lished a war-incurred or war-ag gravated disability (other than total in degree) has the same privilege of buying tlx; disability insurance or reinstating or buying new insurance from now until Jauary 1, 1950, as a veteran in perfect health. Your VA contact office located in Room 114 Physical Education Bldg, can give you more detailed information about your National Service Life Insurance.
