Approximately 365,000 Hoosier veterans of World War 1I can
tell you the answer.
- +They are going to pay on the mortgage on their homies. They are going to buy new washing machines, electric refrigerators and television sets. They are going to pay debts. They are going to
buy United States Savings Boilds

the Singls ones, kly that they exof gil parties at the expense of Uncle Sam. - at's’ all this about?
e United States Treasury has started mailing $2.8 billion
. to veterans for their National
" Life Insurance dividends. Indiana veterans are scheduled to receive something like $65 million. - » . A CROSS SECTION check of veterans in the Indianapélis in all walks of life—indicates a trend towards stability. Qlder now and sobered somewhat since the turbulent days of the war years, Hoosier veterans are looking to the future and their plans are generally centered towards the establish,ment of homes and future American security. There are exceptions. A few —a very few World War II veterans—are still facing - life with the reckless abandon and irresponsible outlook of the very young kids who quit high school to go to war. The big majority, however, are building homes and an American future. The “windfall” of several hundred unexpected dollars means a chance to cut down the mortgage, to buy things needed for their homes, to pay pressing debts. - ” ~
TYPICAL of more than half a hundred World War II veterans interviewed on what they planned to do with their government insurance dividend is Fred M. Sears of 3506 N. Salem St., native Hoosier and veteran of the war In the European theater.
Mr. Sears and his British
war bride, the former Doreen -
Moon of Hamptonwich, near London, have two big boys, William Harrison Sears is 3 and his kid brother, Robert Marshall Sears, is 15 months. The Sears were married during the war in the Robin Hood Episcopal Church in England. Mrs. Sears followed her husband to America in two weeks. Both came across on board the Queen Mary when the mighty British ship was still a troop transport. » » . LAST WEEK the Sears pought a home on the Northside, 3610 Graceland Ave. They moved into it yesterday.

And so it was, the barber, the ~eighborhood mechanic and the drug store clerk; the grocer at the corner and the bus driver; the city fireman and the hotel clerk. All of them, with those few rare exceptions, planned investments in the future, security. The government, in paying the National Service Life Insurance dividends, has sugges-

IT IS SAFE to say that the vast majority of “Hoosier vet. erans will notweed specific advice from their Uncle 8am on how to use the money. There will he very little “blowing in" of the money and most of the former fighting boys already have very stable plans for the money they are about to receive. There will be $65 million turned loose in Indiana before Feb. 1 and, with very few exceptions, 365,000 World War II veterans will own a little more, have a little more and be less in debt as the result. Wartime frivolities are over. Veterans are no longer the playboys of the country—they are Mr. and Mrs. America and they are investing to the hilt in the democracy for which they fought. ,
