Veterans'1 Bulletin National domicil of War Vete rails, Inc. Nat F. Johnson, National com mander, Kansas City, Kas. Veterans Administration today announced it will pay a regular dividend of $200,000,000, begin ning in March, 1952, to approxi mately 5,000,000 holders of Na tional Service Life Insurance. Policy holders who wish to re ceive their 1952 dividend in cash must so notify VA, under Public Law 36, 82nd Congress. Policy holders who do not so notify VA, under this law, will not receive their dividend in cash. Instead, it will be used by VA to pay the premiums becoming due after the dividend is payable, if the policy holder fails to pay such premiums. VA said it is mailing a special form to all eligible policy holders which they may use to request cash payment, if that is their de sire. However, any type of writ ten request for cash payment will be acceptable, VA said; but, in such cases, the policy holders are cautioned to give their full name and address and their insurance numbers so that their accounts may be identified easily and quickly. The dividend is payable to pol icy holders whose policies were in force under premium-paying conditions for three months or longer between the 1951 and 1952 anniversary dates of their policies. Policies of persons in active service since April 25, 1951, which are under waiver of premiums under Public Law 23, 82nd Con gress, will not earn dividends for the period of the 1952 dividend that their policies are in such waiver status. The same dividend rates that were used in computing the spe cial three-year 1951 dividend will apply to the 1952 dividend. This schedule involves approxi mately 3,000 different unit rates for the computation of dividend payments. Generally speaking, those who received the full three-year pay ment of the special 1951 dividend will receive approximately one third of that amount in the regu lar 1952 dividend, provided their insurance was in force for the full 1952 dividend year. It is expected that the first pay ments will be made in March, 1952. Future payments are planned to be made as soon after the anniversary date as in ad ministratively possible, VA said. The 1952 dividend for policy holders who are not in active military service and who apply for payment in cash will be paid by the VA District Offices to which these policy holders pay premiums. Eligible policy holders in active military service who request the dividend payment in cash will be paid by Central Office in Wash ington, D. C. This represents a further change in the manner of paying dividends because the first two (dividends were paid entirely by Central Office. VA said it be lieves the change will speed pay ments to eligible applicants. Although Public Law 36 re quires only that policy holders who wish to receive their divi dend in cash must so notify VA, the NSLI Act of 1940, as amended, provides policy holders 'with two other options: 1. On permanent plans only (such as ordinary life, 20-pay life, 30-pay life, and endowment poli cies), policy holders may request VA in writing to place their 1952 dividend on deposit at interest, with the aggregate to be included, in the calculation of cash value at time of lapse. 2. Any policy holder may re quest VA in writing to apply his 1952 dividend as an advance pay ment on premiums falling due after the 1952 anniversary date of his policy. The latter two options apply for the first time because the 1952 dividend is the first regular divi dend declared on NSLI. The two previous dividens were special dividends. In all of these options, VA stressed that policy holders should write to the VA office to which they are paying their premiums. The first special dividend (known as the 1948 dividend) covered an 8-year span. It amounted to $2.8 billion and was payable to nearly 16,000,000 pol , icy holders who held some 20, 000,000 policies. The second special dividend (known as the 1951 dividend) covered a 3-year span. When all payments under this dividend have ben • -made, the total will amount to $685 million. This dividend is payable to about 6, 000,000 policy holders w'ho held some 7.200,000 policies. The 1952 dividend, which is the first regular dividend, covers a one-year span. The 5,000,000 policy holders, who are entitled | to the $200 million dividend, have nearly 6,000,000 policies. Where an insured has no in surance in force, any 1952 divi dend becoming payable on a lapsed or an expired policy will be paid in cash, with or without an application. Veterans Ask EDITOR'S NOTE: Ex-servicemen and women arc vitally interested in the benefits their Government offers them through Vet erans Administration and they are asking thousands of questions daily. The following questions pertain only to veterans' benefits enacted by Congress. Q—Several years ago, I obtained a GI home loan, when the top guarantee was $4,000. Now that the guarantee has been raised to, $7,500, may I use the difference to get another GI loan to go into business? A—No. The additional guaran tee may be used only in connec tion with a GI home loan. Q—I was disabled in service in 1949. Would I be eligible for vo cational training under the pro gram that recently was set up for Korean disabled veterans? A—No. One of the requirements of the law is that the disability, must have occurred after June 27,1 1950, the official date of the out break of Korean hostilities. Q—I intend to apply for an in crease in my pension to $120 a month, since I am so severely dis abled that I need the regular aid and attendance of another person in order to get about. If the in crease is granted, will it be retro active to the date that I first got ; on VA’s pension rolls? A—No. If VA awards you the increase, it will become effective as of the date you filed your ap plication. Q—I’m a Korean veteran, hos pitalized for a service-connected disability, and I’m now awaiting my final discharge. May I apply for vocational training available to Korean veterans? A—Yes. Members of the armed forces hospitalized while awaiting final discharge may qualify for the training provided they meet all requirements. They may not re ceive subsistence payments, how ever, prior to actual discharge or separation. Negro Runs for City Council in Virginia CHARLOTTES. Va.

Jordan Los Angeles, Calif. All that we have should be used for Christ. What kind of a home do you have? Would any person on entering it know that he was in a Christian home? Have you put that old motto “Christ is the head of this house . . in the basement or out ;n the garage, and put the Bible in the table drawer? Is all that can be seen to indicate the kind of home you have, the ash trys and canister and glasses? Your home should be a place where Jesus and the things He loved would be wel comed. It should be a haven for the weary, understanding for the depressed, a refuge foi those in need. Christ can transform the drudgery of the daily life in a home to a joyous fellowship with Him, to a delightful experience in Christian service. Lytle Services Held Saturday Funeral for Mrs. Ellen E.
