Insurance just before the July 31 "easy rein statement" deadline should pay another monthly premium to the Veterans Administration imme diately to prevent the policy lap sing again, Charles M. Cox, VA representative, said today. Most veterans who reinstated their National Service Life In surance last month paid only the required two-months' premiums, Cox explained. Under G.I. insur ance regulations, one premium covered the 30-day grace period before the policy lapsed and the of Oregon. But, better grass man agement must be carried out if the grass is to hold back the sage which now covers one quarter of the state's entire land area. Meanwhile, only a small part of the daylong program was made up of speeches. Joe Pecharuc, chief of range research for the forest service in the Pacific north west, was in charge of the actual sage clearing work. His men showed five different types of sagebrush removal equipment. Included was a preview of a Brushland plow that is expected to change the west's sage picture. Forest service workmen also demonstrated portable as well as truck driven flame throwers. The Lake county demonstra tion is all part of a plan being carried out by the Lakeview Ro tary club. They're sponsoring a contest among Lake County's ranchers to improve the range lands of the county. The demon stration Thursday was just the start of a five-year program to show how grass can be substitut ed for the purple sage. other the month of reinstatement. Therefore, veterans who rein stated to beat the July 31 dead line paid only for July insur ance protection, with another payment due sometime in. Aug ust, according to the due date of their policy. To avoid risk of unknowingly allowing their insurance to again lapse, veterans are urged to make another payment immedi ately. G.I. insurance premiums may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi annually or annually. Advance payments, other than monthly, are discounted by the VA and the result is even greater economy to the G.I. policy holder, Cox said.
