Urged By Vet Officers
E. B. Burner, Ralph D. Jones

week urged veterans of World War
I to reinstate their national service
life Insurance during NSl.l Week.
Roycroft, commuiider of Klamath
Post No. 8. American Lemon, re
minded veterans that the NtSLI pro
gram was Inspired by the Legion
and other veterans' groups.
"We felt that life Insurance was
a great protection to the soldier ami
his family." Roycroft staled, "'lime
has not changed the Legion's view
point. All veterans of World War It
are being urged by the Legion lo
reinstate lapsed CI policies or con
vert to one of six permanent plans
now offered by the government."
Speaking tor the Veterans of
Foreign wars, Jones, commander
of Pelican post, described NSM as
one of tlie most valuable possessions
of every veteran of the second
world war.
"No Insurance Issued through any
recognised commercial underwriter
can equal the Of policy." Jones de
clared. "It is our recomniendittloii
that all veterans take advantage of
this opportunity to reinstate their
Insurance and keep It for the pro
tection of their families and them
selves."

NSl.I requires no additional prem

veteran disabled In service Is not
disbarred from reinstating at the
present time.
"We cannot stress too strongly the
value of N8LI." commented Ucnner,
commander of chapter I'J. D A V.
"Most of us who served In World
War I, through bitter and often
tragic experience, recognised the
value of government Insurance and
urge veterans lo keep It while they
have this chance,''
