Service Insurance To Pay Dividends

Vast Majority Of Indiana's 2K0,000 Servicemen To Receive Dividends From Policies

A vast majority of the 280,000 servicement and women in Indiana who took out National Service Life Insurance during World War II will eventually receive dividends on their policies, Veterans Administration said today. The amount of the dividends has not been determined. The payments to individual veterans will vary greatly as they are leased on the amount of insurance the Veteran has carried, the length of time he has held the insurance, and his age at the time he took it out. This is a tremendous task and it is impossible at this time to estimate how long it will take to accomplish it. Altho dividends will not be paid for some time, VA said it is anxious to keep veterans properly posted on their insurance rights and benefits. NOLX is mutual insurance, VA explained, and when the insurance fund shows a surplus from gains and savings that surplus belongs to the policy-holder who have paid in their premiums and so contributed to the surplus, including policies of those who have allowed their insurance to lapse. The surplus arises because in calculating premiums it is necessary to make some assumptions as to future mortality. If the mortality is less than was assumed, savings arise which are refunded a dividends. Since all excess costs resulting from death or total disability traceable to the extra hazard of the military or naval are borne by the Government and paid from separate appropriations, war casualties have no bearing on dividends.

MOTION PICTURES ON STATE PARKS AVAILABLE SOON

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 23 Long: demanded by Hoosier nature lovers, a professional motion picture of Indiana’s state park system soon will be available for distribution, Indiana Department of Conservation officials announced today. The film, being taken with both sound and color, is in production through cooperation with Indiana University. Two widelyexperienced men from the school’s Audio-Visual Center were assigned to the task—cameraman Sol Dworkin and script writer Harold Otwell-—and several members of the Department of Conservation have bet n assisting in the nontechnical work. The project was begun last winter while there was snow’ at Pokagon, and it ended with the famous fall foliage in Brown county, malting possible a film of year around activity, at the state parks. Although tlie* actual camera work is completed, the picture is far from finished, and no requests are being accepted. When distribution becomes possible, an announcement will be made by the Indiana Department of Conservat ion.

INDIANS SCRAPPY IN 31-20 DEFEAT

DeMotte High schools foothallers, consistent only in unpredictability this season closed their 1947 season by bowing in defeat Tuesday night to the new K. V. conference champions, the Morocco Beavers. Loss of two squad members who were removed for infractions of training rules and the absence of regular end, Denzil Barker, left the Indians undismayed and served only to sharpen their spirit and game. Passes accounted for DeMotte’s three touchdowns, a Cheever to €urry~toss and “Mighty Mouse” Ileimlichs throw to Jim Rowen in the first half kept the losers in the ball game, while a long heave from Kingma to Rowen again, accounted for the Indians final tally. A strong running game, led by their powerful and deceptive halfback, Seivers, was the bulk of the Beavers attack and enabled them to pull away in the last half and garner their fifth conference win without loss.

MOROCCO CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS

KNOX SLAUGHTERS INDIANS

The Knox High School football gridders awoke from a deep Kankakee Valley Conference cellar sleep to rise and smash our own D.H.S. Indians down to an inglorious 44-7 defeat last Friday night. Coach Stuckers boys suffered not only the ignominy of bowing to a last place team, but also had to bear the embarrassing pain of allowing the Knox lads to run up the largest score of the conference season. Tuesday night the Indians close their disastrous season when they

Tax Period Moving Along; How About U

Deadline For Fall Payments Week From Next Monday; Paying Pace Is Slow The period for paying your Fall installment of taxes with no penalty attached is approaching the close. The deadline for such payment is Monday, November 3. After that date, eight per cent penalty will be added to your Fall bill. Although payments step up a little each day as the paying period advances, there has been no concerted rush on the windows, and unless there is a sudden flurry there will be lines at the windows during the final days. The best way tot avoid the pile up is by paying now, today. It will be easier for you and easier for the office workers. It has to be done some time, so w'hy not now while the weather is gorgeous and the window's are easy to reach ?
