Vets Can Save Time In Paying Premiums Ways for some GI insur ance policyholders to save lime ana money in making premium navments and at the same time avoid the chance of a lapsed policy were sug gested today by S. T. Bran nock, contact representative, VA Domiciliary, Camp White. Veterans who draw- VA compensation are urged to have their premiums taken out of their enmnensatinn payments. Brannock pointed out that this Drocedure saves the veteran the time and ex pense of drawing a check or money order and mailing it to a va insurance office. Veterans who are drawing retirement "pay may also have the branch of the service with which they are - connected make out an allotment from their retirement pay to cover their GI insurance premium payment. This too saves the veteran the time and expense of making his payment direct to the VA, and insures him against a lapse of his insur ance.
