Plan Square Dance's At Dormitory Area In answer to many requests received from Hillcrest residents, recreation officials have selected a committee to investigate the possibility of having regular square dances in the dormitory area.

Many men have asked, "If I am totally disabled and cannot meet my premium payments, what happens to my national service life insurance?" The answer is as satisfactory as a steak dinner in wartime. If you should become totally disabled and it should last for six months or more, you don't have to pay any of the premiums while disabled. The policy may be converted, if you have not already done so, without physical examination, and a converted policy would go right on increasing in value year after year even though you were not paying premiums. The insurance in this way becontract. It comes a takes good care of your beneficiary in case of your death, it affords a nest egg if cashed in to meet an emergency, and the government takes care of premium payments in case you are totally disabled. Detailed information on the insurance may be obtained from Lt. Roeller in the Special Services office in the new gym. triple-barrel- ed Arnold and Smith Called to OCS Two men from Hill Field have been ordered to report to Officer Candidates school for AAF Administration by Nov. 13.

Verdeland Building Nearing Completion t i service insurance with an average of 90.732 of insurance per man, as compared to 95 per cent for the army as a whole with an average of approximately $9000 per policy. Conversion of national service life insurance, a process with which not all Hill Fielders may be familiar, is accomplished either in or out of the army and is a method of providing security for a man's family for the remainder of one's lifetime, Lt. Roeller explained. Conversion consists merely of changing or trading in the original policy, which most servfor any one ice men now have, of three kinds of '' permanent in surance available. The conversion must occur one year after date of first taking out the NSL insurance and within five years of that date. Although the insurance benefits are naturally not available until death, each of the three forms provides a substantial nest egg for the soldier which may be borrowed or cashed in at any time to meet an emergency with no qustlons asked. The three forms are: 1. Ordinary life. Under this form one pays a low premium throughout lifetime and Is assured that the beneficiary will be provided for in case of death.
