that the county fair board is
financially responsible for both
the fair and rodeo. The rodeo
committee has the full respon

Mr. Beckner and the other
committee members are stock

VETS URGED TO MAKE
INSURANCE PAYMENTS
Northwest veterans who rein
stated their G.I. 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.
