VA warns vets about dividends

The Veterans Administration has issued a statement warning World War II veterans that notices being circulated in the state about availability of insurance dividends are not true. Roy Wetherell, director, VA Regional Office, said the bogus notices take various forms but say primarily that dividends are available on GI insurance even though the policies have lapsed. In his statement Wetherell emphasized that dividends are not available on polices that have lapsed. The officials said that similar erroneous notices have appeared periodically since 1948 and have caused confusion and disappointment to a large number of veterans. Wetherell said the VA does not know the source of the misleading information but speculated that it could have stemmed from payment of special dividends in 1951 and 1952 or from Congressional action in

away as California and found himself the subject of discussion on several radio stations. He was also interviewed by media personalities discussing problems of a personal nature which affect citizens. Last year’s winning entry dealt with a man stopped for speeding who told the officer that he was allergic to bees and that one had to come into his car. Apparently, as the driver was trying to capture the insect, his speed crept higher. The driver then produced a bee. His story seemed appropriate until the officer took a closer look at the bee and discovered it had dust on it. After being written a ticket, the driver indicated his bee story had always worked in the past. The contest is designed to show that police officers enjoy a good story as much as anyone else and that they are human, even when forced to make a traffic stop. The contest is not designed to encourage drivers to create stories

It’s a waste of the veterans’ postage and it costs thousands of dollars to answer the queries received by VA insurance offices at both St. Paul and Philadelphia.” Items taken from church Milford police are continuing their investigation of a burglarytheft at the Spanish Assembly of God Church, 105 W.

attempting to excuse the lack of consideration for speeding laws, but only to show that some of these drivers are creative in their approach to explain away their transgressions. Most police officers could suggest the driver tell it to the judge, but police officers hardly ever take such a tack; rather they listen, are amused and often go back to share these stories with other officers — after performing the appropriate sworn duty. The Police League of Indiana is a statewide law enforcement organization which represents personnel from all jurisdictions. PLI is dedicated to humanitarian efforts, including its current program reminding children, “Kids, Don’t Go With Strangers,” and to educational programs for police personnel held across the state.
