The face value of this policy would be payable to the veteran at the end of 20 years, or If he dies before the expiration of 20 years, tho face value would be paid to the beneficiary of the policy. Loan values are also provided for. (3) Vocational training aid of $1.23 a day while taking a course In vocational training.
